Atlanta holds on despite lol bad shooting in the second half. They only scored 39 during that half, but they still won by 12 as Denver also went cold in the 4th.
:yes
21-15-2 is now my NBA record.
Lakers play later.

Well, the public hates my Lakers pick.
O/U has gone all the way down to 207.
So I don't know what to say. Usually I don't put a lot of stock in what the public thinks as far as sportsbetting goes, but when there's an extreme amount on one side, I've noticed that side tends to win.
I also got a 2 point worse line than is going currently, which also sucks.
Anyway, I probably wouldn't have bet this if I knew how heavily the public was going to be against it. So I don't recommend this one right now.
Public was right. Nobody can score, especially the Lakers.
70-57 with 2:22 in the 3rd.
:fail
Going to lay off Lakers overs for awhile. They are having a hell of a time scoring, even against bad defensive teams.
(Their defense is still terrible, though.)
Anyway, here are today's picks. Don't like any of the over/unders, which I'm afraid are getting tougher as the oddsmakers adjust to early season trends.
Washington -9 -105 vs. Boston: Didn't I just make this pick yesterday? Do I have amnesia? No, it's the exact same matchup on back-to-back days, except this time Washington is the one at home. The Wizards were embarrassed by the much weaker Boston club yesterday, mounting an epic comeback attempt but eventually falling short and losing outright. This shouldn't happen twice in a row. Washington should adjust and come back strong on their home court against the same opponent, and I see this one as a blowout.
Sacramento -5 vs. Utah: The Jazz are one of the worst teams in the NBA right now, losers of 8 in a row. They are 2-7 on the road, where the team has traditionally struggled even when it was good in prior years. Sacramento looked unimpressive against Orlando last time out without Cousins in the lineup. Cousins is gone again, but Sac's problem was getting killed by a few Orlando players who had unusually good shooting games. Ben Gordon, Tobias Harris, and Kyle O'Quinn combined to go 21-for-29 from the field (!!), which basically sunk the Kings' chances. I like them a lot better this time against a worse team and a better line than last time.
Record is 21-16-2.
Bet 840 to win 800 on Washington -9 -105.
Holding off on Sac because Bovada has -5.5 -105, and I want -5 like Vegas has right now.
Genius post. Line running away. -9.5Quote:

Lockers worth more than your car.
For God's sake hold off on that sac bet forever. Kings 1-17 without cousins in lineup over last two years. You are pretty much betting on Rudy gay. Fuck that shit.
Well, and Darren Collison.Quote:

Against Britney Griner's Clit's better judgment, I went for Sac -5.5 -105 ($735 to win $700), after the Vegas line moved to -5.5 -110.
If I get fucked again like I did the other night against Orlando, I am done betting on a Cousins-less Sac.
You might win. You have a chance like kj has a chance vs. Aq all in pre has a chance. not betting other side so I will root for you. I like the kings. I will just never be a Rudy gay fan even though he's playing a lot better this year.
Also hoping that jimmer fredette can find a way for his talent to be translated into the nba. I feel that if austun rivers can get minutes how can jimmer not. I swear to god if Austin rivers name was Demarcus johnsom he would be 6th man of d league team. P.s. love pelicans
I really think the best bet out there right now is to take Alabama +125 to win it all. They really are every bit of a 10 point favorite versus Ohio State. My guess is you will end up being able to bet the ducks in the championship game +7 and shoot for a big middle.Quote:

The Atlanta vs Green bay game starting at 7:30cst has Atlanta +14 and Green Bay -14
Anyone have any opinions on bets on this?
I have a few bucks left in my Bovada account and i think im just going to bet it and then tell them to go fuck themselves. As of right now, they apparently have some of my money that they don't have any record of, and im pissed.
That aside, I want to bet on this game but was curious if anyone thought the pack would really cover that spread or not
ok so Im not experienced at this stuff and don't completely know what im doing, but I went and did this...Why? :whynot!
I just realized now that there are prop bets for before the game starts, i didnt see the spot to click before
I think ill probably use most of the rest of my measly amount of $ in my account to do some live betting on this game if I see anything good
took GB -13.5
1st qtr GB -3.5
they have a habit of jumping to an early lead at Lambeau
AAAaaaanddd FAIL
Ball at the 1 yrd line and the decide to walk all the way down to the other end of the field to start the next play in qtr 2.
weeeeeee!!!!
Washington clobbering Boston just like I said, 77-57 in the 3rd.
Still would like to see more points so my -9 doesn't get fucked by trash time.
got +130 that the next score of the game will be a FG
Edit: puke. so close. that 3rd down pass was covered tight. perfect pass
Ouch!Quote:

This better not lose.
ok so im just farting around with a couple of bucks here and there on the live betting trying to get used to it, but so far im hitting the mark
Workers party should do a 2 team tease of Bama and Oregon for 3-500
FSU is Drexel's team so I doubt he wants to fire in a bet against them.Quote:

This is awful.
Washington blew a 22 point late 3Q lead, went to OT.
Now 121-121 in late OT. Guess I need to root for 2OT.
:gay
133-132 Washington, final in 2 OT.
What a bedshit.
Sac overcame an early 31-23 deficit, now up 55-49 at halftime.
I agree with this in regards to betting but just saying Drexel probably also thinks FSU can win that game or cover.Quote:

The fact that this is (barely) on pace to cover is a miracle.
The Kings scored 13 points in the 3rd.
That's right. 13.
Boy they suck without Cousins.
Green Bay sat back and coasted 4th qtr. hung on to win and didnt cover. pffft.
going to start going the Weiss route and making a pick and then realize that Im always wrong and pick the other team.
I worried a bit the Falcons couldn't score 17 to 21 otherwise I would have snap fired on the over but still should have bet it anyways. The line even changed to 54.5 before game time which that covered so easily.
Looking pretty good right now. Sac up 10 with 33 seconds left.
Sadly I made the bigger bet on Washington than this one, but I'll be happy to go 1-1 at this point obv.
Edit: Kanter sinks a 3, and now it's a 7 point game again. Kings can't pull away from 7. At least the Jazz are in auto-foul mode.
Well, it's over.
Sheboon, looks like my KJ outflopped the AQ.
Second consecutive 1-1 day, taking me to 22-17-2 on the year.

Won't bother getting into it, just that I think today's NBA schedule is highly unpredictable and not worth betting.
My NCAAB guy likes Nova tonight -4.5
Hammer raptors Cleveland under 105.first half and bucks +6.
That under on fleek dangiel
Please post possible picks. When you don't bet on them you're usually golden!Quote:

I'm just seeing overwhelmingly that the team way down at the half tends to beat the 2nd half spread.
Has anyone else noticed this?
