LOL

Announcers talking about NFL Play 60 for kids, and it looks like this kid is rocking with a beer.

I don't know if you have CVS in Wisconsin( think that's where you're from?). That's where I found mine buried on a rack with a hundred other cards. Netspend offers a dozen different type cards. Has to be specific card that allows for online purchases. there's a load limit on cards also, so you may need a few. Can't recall amount.

Yes, we have CVS. I was going to go check there tomorrow, thanks

[Gordman]

Thanks for the suggestions

I took the consensus and tried to find a Netspend card instead of the Greendot.

Went to 5 well known places that Netspend said on their website sold their cards...not one of the merchants had it LOL

Oh well, not a biggie. I'll just look tomorrow at this point and im sure ill find a place.

You realllly don't need a prepaid card. You just need one of your credit cards. Call the number on the back and ask them to accept foreign transactions. Explain to them you are about to purchase something online from the Philippines and it won't go through without them opening up your account to foreign transactions

ok

Add the dolphins to my no bet list. Should've kept them there from two or three years ago when they laid an egg against Tebow for me too

Minnesota/LAC is going over, but just did so in the final 1:21. So it was close as I expected, which is why I didn't touch it.

Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow's NBA:

Lakers +1.5 at Detroit -- Lakers shocked Toronto (with DeRozan out) the other night, and I think they're starting to improve a bit. I don't expect them to start regularly winning, but Detroit (4-13) is awful, and I think the Lakers will win the game. I may take the moneyline instead of the +1.5. Grab this early because I think a lot of money will go on LA here. It's worth noting that even the Lakers doomsayers, who predicted a 0-17 start (they're actually 4-13) said that the Lakers would win this game when analyzing the upcoming season.

Boston at Atlanta -- Over 209.5 (Type 1) -- Boston is one of several teams this year which absolutely cannot play defense. Atlanta also scores a fair amount, averaging 103.5 points scored and 101.4 points allowed. Somehow the line here is only 209.5, despite what I believe to be a high likelihood of a no-defense score-fest. Line opened at 211 but has been bet down to 209.5, but I am against the public on this one.

Atlanta -6.5 vs. Boston - Same game, I like Atlanta here for just 6.5 points. The Hawks are a decent team, and have amassed a 9-6 record despite a fairly tough first 15 games (including 2 against Toronto, both of which they lost). Boston is awful and currently sits at 4-10. You get Atlanta at home here, fresh off a 30-point smackdown of Charlotte, and rested for 3 days. All you're giving up is 6.5 points.

It has to be the netspend card that allows for international purchases. Look on the packaging and make sure the card allows international purchases.

Ga Tech +3.5 this weekend is a bet I'm probably going to bet. They have been playing solid and if FSU limps into that game like the rest of them they finally might get served.

You won't need the points they will win easily

Where u from in WI?

[ShadyJ]

Yes but he's like a 5th year senior. I've watched every wi game and they won't beat OSU unlesa that qb is just awful

He's a redshirt sophomore. Our weakness is run defense, which is clearly your strength. With JTB, we'd simply outscore you even if Gordon had 250 yards, but losing a freshman who broke Drew Brees single-season TD record might be a bit troublesome considering his first start will be the BIG Championship game. Cardale can scramble, but he's not really a natural runner. He has a really big arm, but is iffy on the intermediate routes.

Ohio State is explosive, but Barrett was the engine to it all and covered for a multitude of weaknesses, and the defense is meh, and the team is super young. I hope to win, but expect Wisconsin to win unless Jones plays much better than can be reasonably expected or Wiscy has a bunch of turnovers. Hard to win a Championship game with your 3rd sting QB on his first start. Plusnot so much.

Everyone thinks of WI as a running team but they only run well when Stave throws well. Otherwise teams just stack the box. Stave sometimes looks good and other times can't complete a pass. If Stave can convert some 3rd downs they might have a shot but OSU will sellout vs the run and make him beat them.

Do you guys like 5Dimes? Do they pay out reliably? What kind of deposit/withdrawal fees are there?

[Dan Druff]

Anyway, I woke up this morning at 6:45am to piss, and I thought, "Hey, I should try to bet these games early on Bovada before they change."

So I opened Bovada and tried to bet 880 to win 800 on Atlanta -6.5. Rejected, offered me 550 to win 500.

Now here's the weird quirk with Bovada. My betting limit is 500 -- that is, the most I can win on any bet (that is, Bovada's risk) is 500. However, I can bet more than 500, and the bet will go into "review" mode, where Bovada will manually accept or reject it within 60 seconds or so. I assume that this is typically done according to how much action they've gotten, so they can avoid getting lopsided action on one side.

Anyway, the quirk comes when you've already bet on the game. If you've wagered even a single dollar on the game in a prior bet, you can't enter that "manual acceptance" mode on your second bet. It just flat denies you if you try to run over 500 total.

So I had to decide, do I want 550 to win 500 on Atlanta -6.5 now, or take my chances on the line later and get the 880 to win 800 like I wanted. I decided to take my chances on the line, and of course it went up to 7 (there and in Vegas). So I took the 880 at 11am, and it was accepted.

I also took 805 to win 700 on Over 211 -115 for the same game. Line opened at 209.5 but the O/U wasn't offered at all on Bovada until it had already moved to 212 in Vegas, so Over 211 -115 was actually good at that point. Really annoyed though because I knew the line would likely go up and lost 1.5 points PLUS the -115 because of it.

I also bet Lakers +2 770 to win 700 against Detroit. At least I got a better line there, as it was still +1.5 at 6:45am.

I like 5 dimes, last cash out I know I paid fees on, I can't recall specifics. I think if it's under $1k you pay fees and over 1k they send you one free check a month. Every check after costs ~$50. I don't use them at all since last cash out. I liked their dumb poker room too.

[Dan Druff]

Bonus pick:

OKC -3 vs New Orleans

Kevin Durant to return.

New Orleans has not looked good lately, and I really like getting just -3 with Westbrook/Durant back together. Yes, Durant might show some rust, but I think the line is still reflecting upon OKC's record (most of which was without Durant/Westbrook) and the fact that Durant is just returning. New Orleans is an under-.500 team and has lost 3 in a row.

Best book there is. They payout all different ways. You can get a prepaid card for cash outs its free. You can also use your own debit card for payouts goes right into your bank account up to 2500 its 25 fee. They also do bitcoins free. Methods above take less than 2 days to get. 5dimess blows Bovada away when it comes to betting sports. They recently left both poker networks they were on and started there own so for poker it wont be what you are looking for but for sports and all the options they have from live betting, reduce juice to payouts it's not even close. You can also use your cc for deposits no bs 4.9% fees. i recommend you give them a try.

[JUSTIFIEDhomicide]

I'm riding with you Druff. Took OKC -3.5 and added Detroit -.5 for a 2 team parlay 100 to win 264

was tempted to add cleveland at -11

5d is a good to great book for US players. The only thing I'd warn about is Tony (the owner) can and will at any time decide fuck you your cut off and I'm keeping your roll. Generaly it's not undeserved when this happens, mainly to people who bet a bad line or to people who make a bet to a game that's already started....

You can google 5 Dimes and Tony and you will see some of the horror stories.

Druff. I'd advise looking for spots where more underage players are returning to teams. The oddsmakers and every nba fan also knows that kd will return. Looking at that line tells me the pelicans will win that game straight up.

You're not riding with me because Bovada lagged 1/2 point behind all day with OKC so I didn't take it.

How is there Detroit -0.5? Do you mean 1.5? No such thing as 0.5 in the NBA for a full game.

Atlanta off to an awwwwwwful start, but at least over looking good so far. Lakers a few points ahead at the moment.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

Underated. Not underage.
