    2-0 in NBA. I needed that. Still down 4.52 units overall in that sport, with a 16-20-1 record.

    NFL is still poppin' with a 30-10-1 mark, up 21.78 units.

    country978: His fault he gets sacked so much. He needs a completely clean pocket. They wont win another game with mac playing that way
    We live in the greatest town for sports talk in America.

    Patriots win 26-3. I was driving and listening to the radio just after the win and you’d think Boston police cars were gonna get burned in some riot. Fans are really unhappy

    “Let’s get Josh McDaniels back after the Raiders fire him and get fat Patricia back on defense”.

    “Zappe. Mac Jones has no upside”

    “Offensive line is embarrassing”


    That game was dreadful. I had money on the Patriots, my leaves are raked and there was no hockey today. Otherwise, I would have shut that garbage off. I have watched precious little NFL and I will continue to exercise self respect.

    I would bet a lot on a low scoring ugly win for Ravens. Entire offense hurt, defense getting like 4 players (starters) back from injury plus Roquan Smith and really playing well lately. It's gonna be a struggle on offense but Lamar and what is left of that side of the ball will probably find a way to put up at least 21-24. But there are literally zero starting skill position players available. None. Zilch. All hurt.

    I have a shitload of money on at Ravens to -2.5. (put it in before the entire offense got hurt) Sitting now at -1.5.

    Gonna put a little on a parlay with Ravens and under. (paying 2.7-1 with -1.5)

    Henry hit the over easily but unfortunately Mahomes blew over easily.

    1-1, but doing noble work helping keep the sportsbook afloat by paying juice.

    NFL over 46.5 tonight and Kamara under 62.5 yards rushing +115.


    NHL Islanders +105 at home.
    Oilers/Capitals over 6.5 for game -105

    Sorry simp, gotta go with NBH on this one. While I am mixed on who will win this contest, I also think it will be an ugly contest with a low-ish score.

    Baltimore at New Orleans - Under 46

    Wow I went to go bet this and I have been severely limited on Betanysports. And it's not because I bitched to them about the $171 (which they utlimately backed down and gave me), because my limits stayed the same after that.

    It was because they are tired of my beating them. I don't think 5Dimes Tony did this to anyone. I wasn't betting huge, either. Now, I look even better than I actually have been because some of my losing picks have been on BOL, but still. I'm just betting spreads/ML/total in major sports and the fuckers have limited me.

    Badge of honor, I guess.

    Called Betanysports.

    I was told that "upper management" reviewed my account and they decided to drop my limits by 90% (lol) because "you're a winning bettor".

    I don't think this had to do with my complaint a week ago. As I said, I've been especially hot on there recently, which actually worried me a bit, exactly for this reason. The computer likely flagged my account for review, and they saw my betting pattern too much resembled sharp action (rather than just a ploppy on a heater).

    I was told, "We aren't taking as much risk these days". Very lame. If I were firing $5k/game, I would understand, but I wasn't betting very big.

    site=joke

    You know we are in sad times when I wish 5Dimes Tony was still alive.

    Looking for recommendations regarding US-facing books, now that Betanysports is off the table for me.

    Requirements:

    1) Fast/semi-fast RELIABLE payouts (the most important requirement by far)

    2) Willing to take US action

    3) At minimum, 10-cent lines

    4) If they have better than 10-cent lines on some contests, even better. (Betanysports had 5 cent day-of, which was excellent)

    5) No significant recent/semi-recent hiistory of fucking people over


    Post here or PM. Thank you.

    What is the ACR book like? 10-cent lines? Are they known to limit people who win? Are they linked to any other book?

    I still don't have an ACR account.

    Once again, we are in "great pick, close game with OT possibility which can fuck it territory".

    We dodged the OT monster yesterday, but it's lurking right now in the Charlotte game, which is 87-84 with 5:54 remaining, with a 213.5 line which otherwise won't lose.

    Guys, I don't like being injury reactive here (as that's often a way to lose a lot of money in the NBA), but the Lakers are really looking bad tonight.

    Lebron is sitting. Beverly and Walker are out. Davis is probably playing, but his back still hurts. Schroeder has been out for awhile. So it's gonna be hurting Davis, rapidly declining Westbrook, and a bunch of nobodies, playing in a tough environment at 4,000 feet altitude.

    Jazz are -7, which got bet way up because of the above, but I really sense a blowout here. Keep in mind the Jazz have already been a lot better than expected this season.

    This smells like an absolute beatdown.

    Utah -7 vs Lakers

    Charlotte under about to win. Washington pulled away. It's too bad because I was considering betting Washington also, but shied away. But I'll take the under win.

    Miami under looking crappy in the 2nd.

    NFL game has been a joke so far, like I thought. Feeling very good about it, even though we're only in the mid-2nd.

    Wow, Ravens get a TD at 2 minute mark, making it 14-0, and suddenly the Saints run it down the field and are a hair away from scoring one of their own before the half is over. If it's 14-7, that will make this under a sweat.

    Edit: Looks like they're gonna have to kick a FG.

    Washington under won, but was a lot closer than it should have been. Thankfully I had a nice buffer going into the final minute.

    Here we go again. Miami blew their lead. Now it's 102-101 with 71 seconds left.

    Please no OT

    Omg scored 11 in final 50 sec, and I lost under by 0.5. Painful.

    Two threes in final 6 secs.

    Very improbable loss if OT was avoided.

    I mean great to see a game play out exactly like you think it will for once. Finally put a lot of money down on something that paid off.

    Until the Ravens get some guys on offense back this is going to be a similar outlook every week. They play trash teams for the rest of the year, under and them covering is going to be a good play until further notice. They can sleepwalk on offense and put up 24 and there just aren't going to be many teams that will score enough the defense as long as they stay relatively healthy.
