AFter having watched the Nets play the Lakers and now the Clippers, I have to say Harden really is at his best when he is playing with 4 guys just standing around letting him do his thing. You are never winning a playoff series this way, but it does seem to work in the regular season. .

Nice bet Kalem. That was his m.o. before the Nets if I recall.

I was hoping to see Kyrie. Guess not

Just got Cavs -5 and I don’t have a clue who is going for either team. Just bet then this year.

I was just checking things over coffee. Lotta weirdness …. OTB now ….. I caught a little -4.5 just off movement

Went to -5 (Mobley IN) then -3.5 some places (Garland OUT)


I have zero clue. What you think?

Yeah, -3 now. We lose. I was a victim of my cat brain (any movement)

Shit stocks Wynn & Coinbase will pick up the tab.

I thought the World Juniors would be the only "pure" event left where kids are bubbled and games play as planned.

USA forfeits game against Switzerland due to mandated quarantine

Rumor is it involves goaltending. Apparently the process is isolate + test and say prayers if you're into that. Bunch more positives and they will be forfeiting the remaining games and will be out of the tourney.

. Yeah it looks like a scheduled loss now with Garland also out, they aren’t going to play Mobley just to lose anyway. I’ll probably hit cash out and eat juice. I’d ride with it if they’d announce on BI. He says d2d

[Kalam]

In case anyone was wondering, yes I did include colts in a teaser last night before the Wentz news hit.

Disaster.

Yeah I just kept it. Line moved back to -5. Mobley might play a little and BI looks to sit. We have shot.

Disaster.

Honestly, my first reaction was to call bullshit. No one is betting an NFL game a week out.

Sick brag

Denver at Golden State - Over 218

Gordon questionable, Draymond out

Yeah. I dont really know what I was thinking. Was perusing the lines last night and saw the Bears and Colts lines and liked them both (to tease) and here we are. And Sam Ehlinger is the backup. If they were playing Oklahoma I wouldn't like my bet.



Sac Kings -5.5.

[Dan Druff]

Gordon is out, in case any of you are considering the over. Keep that in mind.

[Kalam]

Sorry Druff. At this point when you post a bet the only options are to fade you or pass. At this point I think this is fair.

[Dan Druff]

Raise your hand if you expected Steph Curry to have 0 points through the first 20 minutes of play.

Indy will still win.

I think the Warriors had about 36 points with less than 2 minutes til halftime and they were offering 99.5 Warriors team total.

I was so hesitant to push the button cause I kept thinking I was missing something. The only thing to fade was OT.

People just pound Warriors live blindly. Lakers used to be like that.



I’m sorry but Curry’s demeanor on the court is so irritating. Love him chucking the ball from half court with like a 2 point difference and lots of time at the finish. He just shrugs.


Cleveland up double digits in 4th and we lose. I caught the absolute end of the magic run. It’s a gift.

Small bets cause it’s NBA and Covid but that’s my trip report.


The NHL was absolutely insane and I’m anticipating more of the same tonight. I’m waiting for confirmations and blood tests.

Atlanta +195 at Chicago - FIRST HALF


Also:

Dallas at Sacramento - Over 220.5

[Dan Druff]

I don't think I can handicap COVID NBA. I just keep getting it wrong. I am literally batting .000 on any sort of moneyline bet.

Atlanta actually looked like they might take the first half, coming back from an 8-point deficit and getting to being down just 52-50 while holding the ball, and having the momentum.

Then they just completely collapsed, and were outscored 22-3 to end the half. At least I don't have to regret betting the first half instead of the game, most likely. I do have to regret not going with the over, which I only passed on because I was too late to the party, and it had moved 4.5 points -- too much for my liking. It is pretty likely to cover the 227.5 line.

Guess I gotta root for Dallas to score a lot so I can at least go 1-1.

[Dan Druff]

I can't do COVID NBA. I give up.

I won't bet any further until this all returns to normal.

[Sanlmar]

I may have tossed out some nonsense NBA and other crimes that I have since forgotten.

I want to make amends.

I have one game offered to me at the moment. Hurricanes Canadians

Covid leaves Canadians with Sam Montembeault 4.04 GAA & .887 (confirmed)

Freddie Anderson is anticipated for Hurricanes. In the ordinary course of human events we fear Fast Freddie Anderson is rested against such obvious bums from across the border. However, we are coming back from Covid break and rest is exactly what isn’t needed. Work is needed.
I love this so much I took a moment to use italics

PL -130. post Christmas markdown but quantities are limited.
