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.
