Thanks! Bet was online so no worries. I'm just in a state of shock now. This game had so much crazy stuff happen in the fourth quarter I still haven't processed it yet.
Well actually I have a little now that I just went in and saw my balance.

Chasing time
Sac/Min under 106 2nd half
Chasing pays.
Bet 847 on Bovada at the half to win the 770 back that I had bet at Caesars.
Basically had under 210 and under 224 both going at the same time on the same game. Finsihed right in the middle at 217 so I break even.
BNP, I apologize for the bad energy while your bet was still in play. Not cool.
Glad you got there!!!
I think I am going to unwind my Dallas -7 pick. I can take Detroit +6.5 +100 (which is nice juice-wise). Haven't done it yet, though.
I thought I saw a gift W/O Suh. Now, I still like Dallas but not that much.
No problem I thought the game was over for sure. I bet the MSU ML since it dropped to 2.5 at +125 for what is a large size bet for me with sports so I was very happy to win it.
As for Dallas I don't know what to think about that game. Can you find Detroit better anywhere then +6.5?
Nope. Not looking to get a good spread to bet Detroit for a win. I want to bet equal amount to offset the Dallas bet and not give up bad juice.
Line may move to 6 -130 or something stupid and the net effect works against me.
Fun game to watch but my feelings about Stafford are messing with clarity about this game.
There will always be better spots & fading the Patriots will be one that I will focus on.
7 in the NC game seems about right.
Always heartwarming to read about a sportsbook getting beat.

UK-listed online gambling operator Bwin.party digital entertainment has warned investors that its full year revenue will come in below previous estimates after what it calls “exceptionally weak gross win margin in sports betting.” The company says bet volumes and active player numbers are about what they expected but punter-friendly results, particularly in December, have given its Q4 numbers a drubbing..
The poker numbers for PartyPoker continue to fall, as well.
Poking around you also read about Russia cracking down on online poker. It's a big market.
Absolutely no momentum for poker these days aside from StickyRice1, lol. Chess anyone?

According to Eilers Research, Nevada sports books are set to see a record in the amount wagered.
For Silver State casinos as a whole, poker and sports betting were once equals. However, sports betting has boomed over the past decade while poker, which did experience a dramatic boom, has been slumping over the past several years. When Nevada was pondering authorizing online gaming sites, the decision was actually between poker and sports betting.
The state of New Jersey surely sees what is happening in Nevada and that explains its crusade to get sports books at Atlantic City casinos.
I will continue my crusade until Druff acknowledges that online poker's only hope is to ride the coat tails of Sportsbetting.
Say, "uncle" Druff and tap out.
had Pitt -6.5
they were up big
of course, two straight onside kick recoveries and Im about to rupture my own spleen.
Edit: unreal
I cant even hope for overtime now
scored 22 pts in 3.5 minutes
Here we go... A number of games today, a number of bets.
Detroit at NY - Under 197.5 - Detroit has put more of a focus on defense lately (and it's worked), and New York is having a hell of a time scoring.
Houston -1.5 at New Orleans - While the .500 Pelicans are inconsistent and have been known to surprise good teams, the Rockets (22-9) are worlds better.
Washington +7 -115 at OKC - The Thunder had to go to OT at home to beat the inferior Suns last time out. This team still isn't looking quite right yet, while 22-9 Washington has been looking very solid. I like all the points we're getting here. The line is this way because Washington got slammed hard against Dallas in their last game, but I don't expect it to happen again.
Milwaukee -2 vs. Indiana - The Pacers are better than they were, but the Bucks are a still a much better team, and they're at home. Recently they managed to beat the Hawks by 30 and the Cavs by 16.
Philadelphia at Phoenix - Under 210 - Phoenix plays no defense and a fast game. That's the reason for this line. However, Philadelphia is terrrrrrrrible offensively. They've scored 93 or fewer in their past 7 games, with their last two totals being 71 and 86. Even if they score 89 here, they can give up to 120 and still cover this under.
Bet all but Houston (bad line on Bovada) and Washington (OTB).
Poker might need to ride on the coattails of casino gambling.
Sportsbetting won't work. The US government isn't even CLOSE to legalizing online books in other states. Look how much trouble New Jersey is having getting it legalized in brick and mortar locations!
Poker on a state level is viable in large states such as California, New York, and Texas. Everywhere else it's basically going to be a non-factor, barring interstate pool sharing (and even then, the overall revenue to each individual state will be small).
I'm not necessarily going against but phoenix is an over or nothing team for me and pelicans are a bet on or nothing team for me.
If you feel so strongly about philly why not just swallow the points and take phx? It could easily end up 125-90. I doubt philly is even interested in trying to dictate pace. If philly plays well it could easily still be 115-100
I've got rockets vs. Pelicans U202.5 and Lakers +174 on a weird feeling.
Also if you like Oregon side take them now like someone said. I'd be surprised if it doest get to 7.5
I don't like lines like 14 because they often get screwed by trash time. I see your point, but I would rather have the under here than Phoenix -14. Philly has played a number of games in the past month where the entire score is low -- not just theirs.
I don't think the Lakers are winning tonight unless Randolph doesn't play.
Lockett under 130.5 is a really really good bet. You can find it at +115 in some shops as well. Everyone is looking at his trend and he is a hell of a WR. What they aren't looking at is what UCLA has done to WR1's this year. Nobody's come close to 100 yards.
Dallas -5.5 -110 @ Celtics
Rondo plays when he wants to. Middle finger in Boston tonight.
Just stupidity wagering for small amount.
DRUFF,
You have to remember that both the SUNS and SIXERS play up tempo, so even though Philly can't shoot a lick, both teams will get more possessions than if either were playing against a plodding team. That said, I am taking SUNS -14 and the under 210.5. Best chance for me to win both is that the Suns lead by 25 plus after three quarters and slow the pace for the fourth.
Also betting Detroit -4.5 at Knicks, as NY has most of their good players out.
Really wanted to fire ATL -4.5 at the Jazz but didn't.
:baddecision
I decided not to because Utah can be tough at home due to the altitude, and Atlanta'a Horford wasn't sure to play. 17-7 Atl last I looked.
Easily won NY/Det under.
Blowout loss with Houston (Sheboon was right).
Washington screwed me. Was tied for most of the game, collapsed at end, lost by 7 to tie for me. Sadly I could have had 7.5 if I waited to bet it like simpdog had suggested in the past.
Milwaukee collapsed in the 4th after leading in the late 3rd, lost by 3.
Philly/Phoenix under VERY close. 202 points with 2:10 left.
Detroit -4.5 was the easiest money in the NBA this season so far. Also narrowly won Phoenix -14 and PHIL/PHO under 210.5. Three for three tonight; football tomorrow.
Well Phoenix/Philly under barely came through.
112-96 final.
Had I bet the way Sheboon wanted me to (Phoenix -14), I also would have won.
Considered Phoenix -10 halftime bet which would have equated to Phoenix -9 game bet, but decided to pass because the Suns looked so crappy in the first half, and Philly looked like they might keep it close. In my heart I thought they were going to win by over 9 but I chickened out.
Was a nailbiter there at the end. Benefited from terrible Philly shooting in the final minutes. The real gift was a double miss of free throws with 208 points in and 15 secs left. This also gave me the chance to tie if Phoenix decided not to hold the ball. Fortunately, they did hold the ball so there was no drama on the final possession. Philly is sooooooo bad with free throws. I don't know their percentage, but whenever I watch them, they miss a ton.
Really sucks about Washington and Milwaukee -- both looking good most of the way -- shitting the bed. Changed what could have been a very nice day into a 2-2-1 day.
Sheboon's Lakers bet is looking fairly good, up 52-47 at halftime.
Of course, this is the Lakers we are talking about, so they may very well shit the bed in the 2nd half. But Memphis has struggled a bit lately, which is the reason why I passed on the whole game (otherwise I would have bet Grizzles).
Sheboon's NBA picks have been good from what I've seen. I haven't counted, but I think the picks we've had in common have done pretty well.
NCAAF
FLA -7
WTF, this game is like the bank accidentally mailed a full ATM machine to your house along with the key.
VERN HARGREEVES TRIPLE NEW MONEY
Carolina -5.5 for 1u
Panthers at home playing great as of late compared to a beaten up Cardinals team who I think is going to have a hell of a time scoring points today.
Today's picks:
Utah +1.5 at Minnesota: WARNING, this line has moved 4 points from opening, so the public HATES my side here. Why is Utah a dog against a horrible (2nd worst in NBA) T-Wolves team? Utah just played yesterday, Minnesota didn't. Minnesota is at home. Minnesota has played some close games against tough teams, despite ultimately losing. Utah only managed to beat Minnesota by 6 when at home. Still, it's hard to pass up going against a 5-26 team (and losers of 10 in a row) and getting points.
Orlando -4 vs. Charlotte: In another battle of bad teams, I like the Magic here for just 4 points, especially with Al Jefferson out. Both teams are playing back-to-back.
Clippers/Philly Under 206: The Clippers haven't scored more than 104 in their past 5 games. Philadelphia has scored 96 or fewer (sometimes MUCH fewer) in their past 8, including last night against the no-defense Suns. If I liked Philly under against the defense-challenged, high-scoring Suns at 210, obviously I have to like 206 involving the Clippers (better defense, less scoring) even better.
What you think today druff?
Only thing jumping out at me is under in clippers sixes game.
Haha that's funny
Well the cardinals and panthers are arguing who the shittyest team in the playoffs is, so far its a tie in that department
A few awful mistakes by Carolina giving up great field position otherwise this game could easily be a shut out right now. Both teams are certainly terrible.
Someone made this animated video in Taiwanese with English Captions of Suh/Lions/Cowboys and it's kind of funny.

I agree that the Clippers/Sixers game under looks the best of the 3 picks. I haven't fired on Utah yet. Not sure if I will or not, because Bodog is only giving +1 -105.
I still think Orlando -4 with Jefferson missing for Charlotte is a pretty decent spot.
