    This post has me adding series to my “to do” list.

    I think it’s a great idea. Especially if there is a steady bullpen narrative - good or bad.

    It is more work and we only have so much time.

    Gonna need some fresh AA batteries in the remote by 9:30pm. Logged two losses already so I’m in familiar territory.

    Big dog Pesky Sens are up 1-0 so I’m ok.

    Vegas and Colorado were locks win for vegas didn't take avs

    Leafs/Sens over hit. win

    Jays hit. win

    Oilers/Montreal over hit. win

    Edit: nice hit on the Pesky sens. I liked the over better but it turned out good for both.

    Nice choice full game Toronto Blue Jays instead of 1st 5. They have been slow to start recently.

    I should have listened.

    Some of my parlay payouts will get adjusted down on MLB pushes but I’m gonna have a nice night. Vegas/Av’s was a rare chalk lock. They don’t happen often.

    I was worried until Hernandez added the insurance runs. Their bullpen (especially closers) was depleted tonight for sure.

    So my gut said LA/Colorado will split the games so was thinking about taking LA +275 or higher tomorrow....but it doesn't appear like LA is giving a single shit tonight.

    Just like the Raptors tomorrow. Playing with a league minimum 8 players and no stars. Why bother when your season is over?

    So far this Rockets/Lakers game of B squads is a shitshow with no defense. Not great for the under, but at least my +360 is probably a toss-up to win.

    There are so many premium “spots” these few days.

    I did Lakers/Houston 360 flip too. It sounds like a skateboard trick

    I guess I forgot how truly bad Houston is.

    They just went 6 minutes scoring a grand total of 1 point.

    To be honest though, this is all some pretty bad basketball, and it really can go any way.

    Gamblers Anonymous requires us to self-ban NBA with our cable company so I can’t see the game.

    I imagine Houston has better bench depth than Lakers. Odds should improve as the game nears the close.

    Lie to me and say, yes. I can’t see it anyway.

    The NBA Conspiracy Iceberg meme is costing me time I should be using live betting

    Creation of the 3-point line was racially motivated.

    I couldn’t figure out the live odds on this LA/Rockets game.

    Made zero.zero sense even @ tie score.


    Then I read the Rockets are in tank mode.

    Gamblers Anonymous zoom call Monday. Shit Druff.


    I took +6.5.... maybe I can spin out of this

    MJ’s baseball period was 100% a suspension. In 25 years that whole story will be told and it will be phenomenal.

    Wouldn’t be shocked if he pulled a Pete rose.

    Heartbreaking end to this game for me.

    Rockets come back from down 8 late, and actually take a 1-point lead with 22.9 left. Then Kuzma barely rolls one in with 6.9 left, and the shitty Rockets can't even get off a shot, turning it over with 0.9.

    124-122 Lakers

    As I said, a toss-up game which was +360 where I landed on the wrong end. I've had a few of these this year.

    I got my +6.5 refund.

    When the coach draws up that in bound play... do the players involved see through it?

    Embiid is playing. He was ill, and they weren't sure if he was going to play. He is, and the Sixers are still a dog somehow.

    Philadelphia +115 (+2 ok) at Miami

    Boy Philly is getting killed. I was a little worried Embiid might not play well because of the illness, but figured if he was coming back, he was probably fine. But no, he's not looking good, so Philly down 16 and highly likely to lose.

    Probably shoulda skipped this one because of the uncertainty here.

    Admit it, were you at all scared in the first period?

    I stayed away tonight but was looking for info. What did I learn tonight? Not much.

    Which brings us to tomorrow Leafs vs Winnipeg. Game means nothing but we have Campbell vs Hellebuck.

    +140 on the home team when the game means nothing? I'll wait to see if anyone is sitting.

    But do the Leafs dial up the intensity? One last "hard practice" before they have a week off?



    Speaking of tanking, the Raptors played with 8 players, the minimum allowed. LOL. They lost against the spread barely. Stanley Johnson put up 35 for them....a guy who barely plays maybe he will get a closer look next year.

    And lastly if you've had a rough week, Kershaw is pitching tomorrow. Isn't he just a pinch hitter now?

    Although it's at home and it seems like both the Dodgers and Kershaw play decent at home.

    Yes, I was incredulous. Goalie has played like 4 games in the NHL and he’s gonna shut out the Avs?

    Avalanche were just parlay material with the Rockies. Made it +122.


    Kershaw tomorrow - wife wants to go into the city tomorrow night. I’m silently rehearsing my bargaining right now. I gotta look at that game.
