    I have to count on the New Orleans Pelicans coming back from an 8-point deficit to prevent me from going 0-8 to start the NBA season.

    Is this real life? This makes my 1-5 start in 20-21 look like a blazing hot streak.

    The shitty teams just aren't covering. I am sure eventually the lines will get big enough and they will, but who knows when that will be.


    And like Sanlmar said, obviously the play is to do a 8X bet on Cavs +7.5, and then you are even.

    I watched the first half and actually didn't like what I saw. Lakers turned it over a ton and shot real bad from 3 and still tied game. I took Lakers -5.5 2nd half. Gave myself a 2 point middle. We move on.

    FWIW I also had Dener -3.5 (I waited until after confirmation Jokic playing which is why I got such a bad number) and UNLV -21 (got a bad number early in week); and both those bets in decent shape, so looking like will be ok night. On to tomorrow.

    I admit, I kinda want to go with Nicky and bet O36 on the Iowa game out of principle. I already bet Wisconsin -3.

    At 0-4 I suggested a break, now I am urging you please....

    Looks like a sweep for us? Stars under 5.5

    Carolina and Washington -1.5. Never a doubt, lol.

    On a bit of a hot streak, so pushing it a little. This will probably end poorly. I also made a lot of these bets early in week, which is why a lot of my lines are off (normally worse than current market).

    Fresno St -1EV
    Auburn -3
    SMU +1
    Texas +2.5 --Texas had 3 possessions in Baylor territory in the first half that resulted in 0 points. 2 turnovers and 1 turnover on downs. Good stuff.
    Texas Tech +19
    VAndy +16.5
    Rutgers -2
    MIch/Mich St U50.5 --17 points scored in 1st Q. Good stuff.
    Iowa/Wisc. O36 --Wisconsin has first and goal 2 possessions in a row and gets 3 points total off of it. Good stuff.
    Virgina +2.5
    TEaser (Iowa St -1/Nebraska -1.5)
    N CAr/ND O62.5
    Maryland -5
    Wisconsin -3 -115
    Stanford -2.5
    Georgia -14 -115
    TCU +3.5 -110
    Kansas +31
    Utah -4.5

    Was out “running around” all day, just got back. Looks like we are in good shape here brother, let’s hope for another score to “seal the deal”

    Nope. Iowa had the entire 4th Q to score a TD and cover the total and failed.

    I have lost every coin flip today, on top of the games that lost outright. This was extremely predictable. Had Maryland -5 and they were up 15 with a few minutes left and somehow are going to win by 3.

    Brother don’t get discouraged. It’s just bad luck. Don’t be too quick to forget the other night you were on the right end of some good luck! It all evens out brother we must take our losses and continue on in a positive direction. Lots of sports left today, it’s one game, I’m not sweating it didn’t watch a second of the game!

    Lots of fights with lopsided odds, I think there are some underdog values here. Hoping to hit a couple of them at least…

    Yaozong Hu +195, 0.5u
    Shamil Gamzatov -120, 1u
    Benoit St. Denis +200, 1u

    Wrong day to bet underdogs. Favorites went 12-2. Looks like -4.4 units. Can’t win em all.
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    Paging San.

    Leafs -1.5 breakout game.
    Oilers canucks over 6.5. Crazy total but it’s worth it
    Philly Calgary under 6

    My lucky break of the day was forgetting how early UFC came on, I knew it was an early card but I thought main card started at 4 pm. I would have got crushed betting dogs on the main card, only dog on main card won. Sad to miss this card was looking forward to it, oh well!
