GTFO of here.... the fucking balls
We make an absolute fucking killing putting on these charades of sportsmanship where backups make $100m and owners own an asset that worth $2B...... but because someone wants to bet on the outcomes of our little circus everyone in the world should give us a 1% cut
:lol2
THE MOTHERFUCKER SAID WITH a STRAIGHT FACE!!!!!
:lol2
Just wait til that non-profit, the NCAA, holds out their hand. You’ll break lol2 out again.Quote:

This is going to become a massive fail of epic proportions. This is the golden age of wagering.
Sorry guys.... I'm in absolute fucking awe over this story.
For absolutely zero reason..... 1%.
This is a guarantee sports betting will be off the books forever
This is a prop I can get behind.Quote:

Here we go, another gold under pick about to go to OT and maybe still cover.
But honestly I've had way more than my fair share of these.
Now I've gotta fade 21 in OT.
At last count Druff was at 131-93-3 record.
At 550/500 he would have paid the NBA $1248.50
:lol2
The states don't have to agree to give the leagues anything though.
Never underestimate the ineptness & stupidity of government - federal, state or student body gov. This always will serve you well.Quote:

Bet on that.
If there is ever a sports wagering segment on Drexel’s Show and you’re on - count me in. Not b/c I have much to offer but because I’d selfishly enjoy shooting the shit.Quote:

All ESPN offers is worthless hawt takes. I think Brent Musberger and his brother are poised to crush with VSiN. Gimme bottom line analysis and put your money where your mouth is. The relationships they are forming with the books and the practice they are gaining with their format is a huge edge.
If I am going to drop $100 to see a game live I am also willing to drop $20-$50 for some lulz as well or instead. I am that VSiN listener/viewer and an NBA viewer that night.
Wagering is the league’s savior and they should thank their lucky stars. Rather than looking for a handout they should nurture and incubate the new legalized books. Symbiosis
Furthermore, I should be free to wager in any state I please. Run a good book at the right price and I will come. Collect taxes as you would any other online purchase. Price it right or I will take my business to another state.
That will never happen but I have a dream.
@Cmoney is this true?
@beatingthebook
As a follow-up to our exclusive interview this morning on #ANumbersGame @VSiNLive, @MGMResortsIntl @MGMRaceSports VP @Jay_Rood confirms to me that he took a multi-million dollar bet on #FlyEaglesFly in #SBLII. It is NOT the largest bet MGM has ever taken.
Well it wasn't cmoney but this confirms the Pats are going to win the superbowl
If it wasn't for college football games, NBA games and MNF 15 nights/year I don't think I would ever go to ESPN anymore.Quote:

I definitely don't watch any of their programming that isn't live sports.
Actually, I take that back. I will watch some Van Pelt and Stanford Steve late Saturday and Monday nights after football games. I especially like the bad beat segment, which unfortunately I had action on way too often this year.
Last night we had one solid gold under, which finished regulation covering by 21.5 points -- only to run into OT. The Detroit game finished 89-89, but OT managed just 15 points, keeping the under fortunately (and deservedly) intact.
The Boston under was close the whole way, bouncing back and forth between on pace to win and lose, though never too far in either direction.
It squeaked by when the total finished at 215, though those who bet close to game time got a worse line than that (it closed at 213.5 on most books).
However, most of the way you were getting 217 or 216.5 since I posted it, so if you bet it, you probably won.
The 2-0 day takes me to 133-93-3 overall, putting me 40 games over .500 for the first time this season.
More interestingly, it leaves me at 22-8-1 in the past 9 days, with many of those 22 covering easily.
NBA:
Washington +5 -105 (may want to drop some on moneyline +180)
Perhaps more shortly
Golden State under 228 (227.5 ok)
New York under 211
I have a friend who gives me very infrequent NBA tips. Usually exceptionally good tips.
He's very confident that Miami will win by 10+ and I just put a substantial wager on -9.5 @ +105

Thanks and good luck to you. :)
Like you said, game time lines might be better for your system.Quote:

I'm still looking at this. Sometimes attempting to do this will backfire, such as yesterday's Boston under, which fell from 217 (when I posted it) to 213.5 (game time). 215 points were scored, so waiting would have fucked you.Quote:

Washington looking horrible.
I was a little doubtful about that one because both teams have the tendency to inexplicably terrible, and OKC has looked a lot better lately compared to Washington.
But the numbers justified this one, and I decided to pull the trigger. Unfortunately the Thunder are looking very good so far (aside from a few sloppy turnovers), and the Wizards, who scored fewer than 80 last game, are looking horrendous.
I don't see this one happening, though you never know with OKC and their tendency to shit the bed. But being a 17-point game, and the Wizards looking awful, it's hard to imagine it coming back to 5 or fewer.
Wizards cut deficit from 19 to 8, so that's looking a bit more promising.
Knicks under starting off badly.
Might this be the first time I lose a Knicks-related pick in a long time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSCdq1s5ekI
Almost ready to concede this Knicks one in the middle of 2Q.
Washington came back and now this one looks very viable, even to win outright.
Miami are lazy and don't work hard enough in offense... I hope they lose this now my spread is dead.
edit
12 points up halfway through the 4th quarter and you could see they started to coast and drop their effort. Sac did smash them with their shooting percentage but they made it too easy for them.
Glad they choked, they didn't deserve to win. :)
Go Wizards!
Well, let me rephrase, glad they choked once I knew the spread was gone.
Washington can't quite get close enough.
I think I'm looking at 0-2 going into the final pick.
What a waste of a great game by Beal.
Oklahoma playing mad that they didn’t get more all star votes and they have been winning a lot unlike Washington. Plus home.
No defense at all in this GS game, plus nobody is missing 3s
Ugh. I'm calling the 0-3 day already in the early 3rd of the GS game.
Sorry, everyone.

NBA today for Druff
:fail
And Druff I'm not trolling I mean it in a loving way.
Get them back tomorrow.
Day was a complete disaster. Both unders were blown out, and the only game with a chance to win was the Washington side, which was behind most of the way, and ended up also losing.
0-3 brings me down to 133-96-3.
The winning streak seems to be over. I am now 4-5 over the past 3 days, after being 18-6-1 prior to that. More importantly, only 1 of my past 9 picks has been of the "blowout correct" variety, and even that one was a sweat because of the OT (though it still won). At the same time, I've had 4 clearly decisive losses of out of those 5.
Overall, since December 31, it's been a bit of a rough road, with me being 35-34-1 over 70 picks.
I'm still feeling good, though, as I was putting up a lot of wide-margin winners in that recent winning streak, so I think today was just an anomaly.
Early NBA (more later probably:
Atlanta +7 (starting 30 min)
Utah +8 (starting 70 min)
Here's something you rarely see from me: A road favorite.
Houston -4.5
