So it looks like Sheboon might win this one after all, even with Minn's horrible start.
Shows how awful the Clippers are this year.

I will have to look into this further to see if they switched me back to square lines.
haralabob will never tell anyone what he bets but sometimes you can read between the lines. When he extra tilts on late game decisions it seems he has a bet. From what I can tell he has Minnesota today.
Grabbed Orlando +2 and Knicks +1
Good ole bovada not offering moneyline on short or long odds. Just medium odds.
haralabob gets a last minute miricle cover (if he really had Minnesota as I'm assuming)
Why do you bet with bovada?They are the fucking worst dude... find another book, use bovada only on public heavy lines and for no other reason.Quote:

Why am I back with Bovada after hiatus? Well I had trouble depositing and was sitting with a -1000 balance because I used my ex girl crazy screw buddy's friend to deposit who I paid cash in hand to. Well she's a crazy bitch and decided to charge it back. I got an email the other day saying that they were resetting my account to 0 with no questions asked. Coincidentally all my college football season over under win totals hit my account so there is money in there.
Good enough?
Also they got the best of me if you think I ripped them off. I had a western union withdrawal for 2500 plus outrageous 150 or so fee that I was late to pick up and they wouldn't work with me at all because they said they didn't get the money either. Apparently if you didn't get that withdrawal within like 3 weeks it just disappears. Possibly that's why they looked the other way on this outstanding 1000.
Good enough answer for me.
You are crazy as fuck though....what drugs do you take on a regular basis?

Luck is smiling on you, BGC.
NY is killing it despite the absence of Melo (boy Houston sucks).
With the Knicks up 9, I just made a -4.5 -125 bet, which I'm not sure is a great value because of the 125, but it looks like Houston is going in the toilet, and I think the Knicks will win by more than 4.
Either that or I will go 0-4 today.
Edit: Of course, moments after I place that, the Rockets score 4 straight and I could have had -3.5 -110.
:gay
I'm at the game right now, in section 107 row 9... if the knicjs can't pull this out ima have a meltdown. I have them at ML 500 and +1 for 500. All this before I heard melo was out. Have some pics I may post later.
Why did I bet on the Broncos :(
I threw my empty beer can on the court and walked out....Quote:

I have tried to study games and offenses/defenses and find good plays but I guess I am not good at that.
Thomas(I understand how good he is) needs to be let go, his play and effort in this game just shows that he does not want to be in the game or on this team.
It's like next to impossible to make money betting sports. It takes serious dedication, orgination, and discipline. And even with all of those it's still very hard.
Fuck thomas, what a cunt.

Thomas didn't bother trying on that last 3rd down pass either. What a chump.
Denver in a prevent defense. We all know what that means.

Disclaimer: I have lost 5 games in a row, dropping my once-impressive 16-10 record to a mediocre 16-15.
I like Golden State -8 at Utah tonight, as well as over 202 on the same game.
First off, Favors may or may not play.
Second, the Warriors are crushing every opponent, and while I sometimes shy away from lines like -15 (because trash time plays too much of a role in determining them), I like anything where they are favored by less than 10.
I like the over for two reasons. First off, Golden State just destroys opponents with fast-paced 3s, and therefore has an average point total of 116. In fact, in the past 9 games it's improved, scoring no fewer than 106 in any contest, and scoring at least 115 in 7 of those 9!
But what about Utah? While they are overall a low-scoring team, they have seen higher scoring games in the past 4. In all four of those contests, Utah either scored or gave up 100.
So I really believe we will be seeing more than 202 points here.
Bovada's line is worse than elsewhere on this one (over 202 -105, whereas it's 201.5 -110 at most other books, and -8 -115 where it's -8 -105/-110 at other books), but whatever. I'm taking it anyway.
BTW, for those of you wondering, yes, Bovada still has 2 sets of lines. It's just not as pronounced as last year. Right now the "general" line on the game is -8.5 -110, whereas the "sharp" line (which I get) is -8 -115.
Also I like OKC -2 at Atlanta. The Hawks have looked terrible lately, and the Thunder are ascending, especially behind Durant's excellent play (and he's back, after an absence of several games).
Unfortunately Bovada has -2.5 -105 right now, which is annoying. (It's -2.5 -110 for the general public, too!)
I think I will wait this one out, because 2.5 and 2 are a pretty big difference.
Edit: Well, I took the -2.5 -105 anyway, seeing that the line is trending in the OKC direction on all major books. And Bovada has already degraded the line for the non-sharps to -2.5 -115.
Non trolling honest question- why do you get the sharp lines when you're an admitted 50/50 break even bettor (actually lose with juice)? I thought the entire concept of game lines was getting 50% on each side and the book is a gauranteed winner. You have been the epitome of 50/50 on your posted NBA bets. It seems you're implying you're better than average. What am I missing?Quote:

The "square" lines are given to most of their customers. You can see them without any account here: https://sports.bovada.lv/basketball/nba
These lines assume that most casual bettors prefer favorites and overs, so they artificially stack the line worse in those directions. I have noticed this season that they aren't really doing this much for over/unders anymore, but last year it was happening a lot. They are still worsening lines for many favorites, though.
However, obviously this is exploitable if you bet the other way, so they transfer you to the "sharp" lines if the computer witnesses you picking enough of them. This has nothing to do with you winning or losing, but rather your betting habits.
In reality, the "sharp" lines are closer to the lines given at Vegas books, whereas the square ones are skewed on purpose in order to beat the typical sportsbetting fish even more.
Laughably, if you call Bovada and ask them about the above, they will deny 2 sets of lines exist. If you offer to send them proof, they will say they aren't interested in seeing it, and attempt to end the call.

Got it. The concept is dogs and unders probably have a little bit of value, until you get identified?
Yes. Though as I said, I'm not really seeing it with unders anymore.Quote:

This is why it's not a bad thing to also have a Bovada account with money, just in case you want to bet a dog and find a better line than you will elsewhere.
I still really would like to find a reliable online sportsbook other than 5 Dimes or Heritage. I really don't like using Bovada and often getting inferior lines (or the high juice in the live betting).
