I'm big on Cavs 1st qtr. I don't know if Lebron gasses out late or not but I am confident he comes out strong.
I'm also big in Tristan Thompson o9.5 rebounds +120. Amazing line imo

Both my baseball picks hit.
Glad I went with that u7.5 despite my reservations about the -125.
As expected, Marquez was decent, and Lyles was spectactular.
Regarding the NBA, gotta agree with Welch's here.
The play looks like 1st quarter. Lebron is going to come out playing his heart out, and it's easier to get behind that than having to back his entire team supporting him enough through the entire game.
I'm betting Cleveland 1Q +0 at -118.
None of my books had the Thompson rebound one, which I also liked.
Did bet the Cavs 1Q as I mentioned, and it went as expected.
So good job there searles.
:yes
Brad Stevens
Best Coach In the NBA
/Thread.
Buckle up GS this guy is a genius!!
was just about to say something somewhat similar...im a homer, but would love to see boston get a crack at GS just to see what the fuck stevens would come up with to slow them down...
his tactic seems to be let the big dog eat (embiid had huge games in the philly series and LeBron had a massive game tonight) and contain the good peripheral guys...problem with GS is that they have 4 fucking guys that are world class so that strategy is gonna be tough to execute on...
There is no fucking way Boston beats GSW.
Championship is over. Lock it up
With all due respect
:moonlanding
If you didn't get GSW to win the championship at -175, you lost out...
LeBron scores 42 points while the team around him collapses...Tyrone Lu has got to be the worst excuse for a head coach.....Like ever.... GSW IN 4 FADE ME BITCH

For those wondering, my MLB record so far is equivalent to hitting about 57% of -110 NBA spread games.
So it's going pretty well after 90 picks. I've made a few adjustments already, which is part of the reason you're seeing fewer picks per day recently.
This is likely true.
I am more interested in seeing if Brad Stevens can work a miracle than seeing LeBron again in the Finals
Trying to matchup multiple stars instead of one or two is a much different trick. But I am interested to see if it can be done. Cinderella and all that.
Just as interesting, Kyrie might have become expendable. Now Anthony Davis talk. Celts are so loaded that the future is almost as much fun to consider as the present. The next move will be huge and ya always gotta fade a fail trade.
But we are way ahead of ourselves. Celts are no lock vs Cavs
I have a Celts East Champs ticket they went from near worthless to real possibility
Several early MLB games today.
Here's one starting at 10:10am PDT.
Cleveland (Bauer) at Detroit (Carpenter) - Under 9 -120
May have another around noon.
Was considering the Texas under, but decided against it.
No more picks until perhaps the later (4pm PDT) games, which I'll revisit after 3pm.

Anyone seeing NCAAF win totals at any books?
Only one pick tonight, and it's a night game.
Colorado (Bettis) +127 at San Francisco (Samardzija)
Bettis gave up 7 ER last time out, but look more closely. In his 5 road starts this year (i.e. away from Coors), he has give up 0-2 ER each time, and looked great. Two of his three home starts have been bad.
Samardzija has been bad all around, and has been bombed in 3 of his 5 starts this year, holding an ERA near 7 and a bad WHIP as well.
Rockies scored 3 in the first and have since goose-egged every inning. In the 12th with 1st and 2nd and 2 outs. Arenado coming up.
Please score here.
Game is "free" on mlb.tv as long as you have an account (even an unpaid one).
Washed up CarGo dunks a soft bases loaded single, and it's 5-3.
:yes
Now just don't fuck this up and I'll have my 6th in a row.
Rockies win!

I'm now a hair under 10 units in the black, a season-high. My last loss was 6 days ago on Friday, when I went 0-2.
No picks yet.
Looking at:
St. Louis moneyline (Willie chime in)
KC moneyline (jsearles chime in)
Tampa Bay under
I'll be back in about 4 hours with this.
My win streak is likely over today, as I have 4 picks, including 2 fairly big dogs.
3 starting very soon:
at Kansas City (Junis) +171 vs. Yankees (Sabathia)
Kansas City/Yankees - Under 9 +105
Cleveland (Clevinger) +152 at Houston (Morton)
And one later:
Colorado (Freeland) at San Francisco (Holland) - Under 8.5 -120
DOUBLING DOWN
CELTICS ML AND THE OVER
FADE ME BITCH
at Kansas City (Junis) +171 vs. Yankees (Sabathia)
Kansas City/Yankees - Under 9 +105
Cleveland (Clevinger) +152 at Houston (Morton)
2-1 on the first 3, only losing Cleveland (had a chance, too). But thanks to the underdog lines, I'm 1.76 units up in those total.
Now just need Giants under to hold.
Cardinals up 5-0. Didn't bet that. Was going to but Willie talked me out of it.
:knife
Lost my first game in a week today, but I'm still 9-1 since May 12.
at Kansas City (Junis) +171 vs. Yankees (Sabathia) - WON +1.710
Kansas City/Yankees - Under 9 +105 - WON +1.050
Cleveland (Clevinger) +152 at Houston (Morton) - LOST -1
Colorado (Freeland) at San Francisco (Holland) - Under 8.5 -120 - WON +0.833
Total 5/18: 3-1, +2.593 units
GRAND TOTAL: 52-42-2, +12.589 units
Overs: 2-3
Spread (-1.5): 2-1
Unders: 31-21-2

Starts very soon (10:10am)
at Cincinnati (L. Castillo) +118 vs. Cubs (Hendricks)
11 games starting after 4pm PDT. Will be back closer to that with more (probably).
USC over 7.5 wins -160 at BOL is kind of like a free $100
Its clear to me I'll never be able to get any "real" money down on this so I'll share now and hopefully you can all profit.
Urban Meyer is 47-3 in conf play at Ohio st.
I'm going to say that again because it's kind of important.
Urban Meyer is 47-3 in conf play at Ohio st.
Penn St just lost a generational RB. Michigan isn't going to be any better than last year.
The rest of the schedule is an absolute joke.
"No such thing as a lock", and all of that. That said I would be fairly astonished if Ohio State doesn't win 10 games this year. I think a fair line is over 10.5 -140 9.5 is a fucking joke even now at -160
Glad you won, but probably better off not doing this in the future. Decided I hated the TB under by the time it went off, which is why I didn't touch it. Still liked St. Louis but didn't bet it for a variety of reasons (not just Willie).Quote:

I've been on the fence on a lot of games, but ended up deciding to skip all of them. Just too many reasons not to pick every play I considered.
So maybe I'll change my mind, but for right now, that's it for the day.
I'm going to hold my nose against my home town and take the best player in the world who (hopefully) isn't done yet.
1h -5.5
Hortford unders
Jr Smith over 8.5
I fucking hate Michigan worse than anyone alive, but they’ll be pretty damn good this year. They have a brutal schedule, but they were seriously young last year and will be a hard out now that they have a transfer QB that’s on everyones early draft boards and heisman watches. They might not improve much record-wise, but they’ll be in every game I would imagine. They had atrocious QB play last year. Even if this kid doesn’t live up to the hype, he’ll almost have to be better. Just pure AIDS last year. I really hope to bump this myself after a 2-6 start. They play at Ohio State though, so for the purpose of your post, I agree that isn’t a likely L
I'll buy you a Steak Dinner with the Lobster Mac on the side if Shea Peterson wins the Hiesman.
