It was 193.5 until about 1pm PT.
Anyway, I am going for Portland -9.5 vs Sac.
Both teams have lost 3 straight, but I see Portland giving the dysfunctional Kings an ass beating.

Portland starts out 7-2, then suffer through a 29-16 beatdown and are down 31-23 at the end of 1.
Yuuuuuuuuuuuck
At least maybe I can count on Sac blowing it.
I was a little hesitant about this one because Portland hasn't looked good lately. Like even that Lakers game was a struggle, and Lillard basically saved them on his own.
Made new thread but you guys interested in getting a Super Bowl square going??
So Portland is crapping the bed, and I'm going to probably lose this.
They've scored an embarrassing 11 points in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd.
So I just tried live betting for the first time.
Kings were +295 for the 4th quarter. That just seemed absurd, since honestly at this point it could go either way (75-67 Kings after 3).
Now it just went to +395, I guess because Portland scored once. WTF
Threw 300 on both. So that's another 600 lost for me if it finishes between Sac winning by 7 and Portland winning by 9.
Of course, since I laid 600 on it, now the Blazers suddenly play well. 2 point game now. 4th quarter ML now +750 if I want it. But at this point I admit it's not looking good.
Well I threw another 100 on it when it was +950 as a hail Mary.
So my first foray into live betting was a failure. 700 more down the drain.
Oh well.. I still don't think that was a bad bet given the potential return and the fact that Kings were up by 8.
Have you bet NBA games in high volume before?
I know you're a Lakers fan but I don't remember you firing on games.
My record is similar to yours this year with better results recently but I don't splash on so many games, usually 1-2 per evening. I got on the Hawks bandwagon at the right time.
Hey Druff -- could you pm me or talk about on the radio the best practice for getting money on a site. If I can't get action then I need to set up an account so I can make the bet. I know you talked in the past how it is hard to get money on but actually easier to get off-- thanks
College tonight
Iowa +9½ (-105)
Kentucky -21½
Tennessee +6½ (-105)
NBA: Got the Spurs -7.5 overnight. At 9.5 now.
NY at Philly - Under 189 -115 - Put two teams that can't score together, and this should be a low total.
Dallas -9 at Minnesota - Just when it appeared the T-Wolves might be improving, they get hammered 105-80 at Charlotte. Basically any good team against Minnesota at a line less than 10 is an auto-bet these days.
Dallas at Minnesota - Under 215 - Minnesota put up 84, 93, and 80 points in 3 of their last 6 games. For awhile, Dallas was putting up high totals, but they have scored 100 or fewer in 5 of their last 7.
Orlando at Detroit - Under 210 - In 6 of the last 7 games involving Detroit, the total has been under 200. Orlando had two outlier games where they scored 120+, but they have scored fewer than 100 in the other 8 of their past 10. This line is high mainly because Orlando ALLOWED 127 points last time out, but that seemed to be more of a fluke generated by an amazingly accurate-shooting first half by OKC, where 79 points were scored.
Was able to bet NY/Phil U189 and Detroit/Orlando U 210.
The Dallas/Min game is OTB.
Degened 3 team first half parlay on games about to start. Will be back with other bets.
Cavs -5.5
Hornets -3.5
Sixers +1.5
ALL FIRST HALF BETS.
Also made a regular bet on sixers +1.5 FIRST HALF
Dallas came back online and I bet it at -9.5 and U215 -105.
I guess there's less rush to get onto a second book now that Bovada has sharped my lines, but I would still prefer the reduced juice.
The only good thing about Bovada is I have a big roll there, so I don't have to hassle with bankroll management issues.
Nets +5.5
Nets moneyline +190
rockets +8.5
rockets moneyline +300
Timberwolves moneyline +395 (sorry druff)
Edit: I will tail druff under 215 as well.
About to get screwed AGAIN.
Philly/NY had like 173 with 1:49 left and it's about to go over.
Orlando/Det under got blown out.
Both Dallas picks look like they will win.
Well philly under tied, but I'm still pissed.
Hope I can at least go 2-1-1.
