    I just experienced a Christmas epiphany.

    I never bet or won a single dollar on the Cavaliers streak. The revelation is that I’m at peace with that. Normally that would have triggered frustration and self loathing

    I’m cured. Can’t wait to share this at the GA meeting Monday. We still on for Monday, Simp?

    I take it you aren’t taking the kids to Disney on your NHL winnings this year.

Of course it looks like I ran very bad with COVID currently affecting the teams I took WAY more than the ones I faded. From what I can tell the NBA wants these games to go, even if Nets and Atl have mostly G leaguers.

    Both these bets looking very -EV right now.
    There is absolutely no chance regardless of health Xmas games get cancelled. I understand these to be tv contracts that are separately negotiated.

    I completely forgot we bet Xmas until I saw your post. I wouldn’t touch NBA with your money these days.

    Cavs streak ends tonight?

    Did you take Rams last night? I have a confession to make but I hinted at my hypocrisy in a previous post. I had done too much previous work on Eagles WFT on the cancelled bets to walk away.

    3 team teaser
    Football - 340 Philadelphia Eagles -3½ for Game W
    Football - 338 Los Angeles Rams -1 for Game W
    Football - 226 Army -½ for Game

    Army is taking 90%+ of the money. I’m getting creeped out like the recent Bucs/Brady goose egg that took 90%+ $. Thinking of hedging. Every time I hedge I’m wrong and it’s wasted money. I have always admitted it’s my biggest leak. The replacement Mizzi QB is perfectly fine. The Army kids have no futures so this game is more important when you consider shitty bowl game motivation.

    I faded Boston College and took the points cause I’m a hater. They finally built a legit baseball field. D1 school using the football field as a right field wall. They are so embarrassing.
    I am embarrassed to admit I actually watched the Army/Navy game. Army was working in a new QB who was very bad and their normal QB (Anderson) didn't play a ton of snaps. I dont really know if it was an injury situation or they were preparing for the future and will keep doing this moving forward. But I would be nervous if I had a ton of money tied into Army, although like you said theoretically the motivation factor favors them heavily.

    Treading water in NHL, no huge windfall (RIP first periods).

    No Disney this year, drove 4 hours North to find some snow (thanks global warming) for a few days. And since the pandemic is back working more hopefully someday I can spend this money on trips.

    What an ending. I hope the Chinese didn’t see Army’s defense tonight. Might encourage them.

    A nation of public bettors got fried though @ -6.5. So predictable with 90% of the money.

    I’m done with fraud Covid sports except for a Nets -1 vs Lakers on Christmas which is a hate bet & Christmas gift to myself made a long time ago. Beats talking to my relatives.

    Oh yeah, my BC fade too. Another hate bet. If I was better adjusted I might have a bigger bankroll.

    Just realized Krazy Kyrie might suit up. That’ll be fun.

    Edit:
    Kyrie is in Covid protocol and everyone has the RoRo. Stupid. Serves me right for betting NBA. They should shut down the NBA not for Omicron but as a public service.

    You’re driving the rest of the way Kalam. I think everyone else is broke.

    Yep. Everyone on the Nets (and ATL, the other team I bet preseason) is currently out. It seems the plan is to have the games with complete G League rosters. As the alternative is to give all the money back ABC/ESPN has already paid them, hard to blame them.

    Oh yeah, Kalem, there’s more

    Stupid Nets bet ….. when you say your prayers tonight please ask that the game gets cancelled for me. You prolly have more pull than I do.

    We both know the scumbag NBA won’t cancel. Marv Albert and Dick Vitale will be point guards.

    I don’t do drugs but if I did I would fade the Celtics +10.5. Celts have no bench and will lose by 40.

    Your teaser is -103 juice? I need some learnin’ here. Who, what when, where and how?

    I have Colts +6 and +8.5 in a teaser and I am so upset at being a retard it is kinda putting a damper on my day. I’m a little obsessive at times. Wish this was at 1pm not 8pm. I would prefer it be a quick death

    I can run through the gruesome handicap if you like. Just ask.

    Even Druff wouldn’t bet Covid sports and he loves trying to game injuries. He’s not degen (except for his NBA leak). Ok, maybe he is a degen. Nvm

    I’ve been running pure but that doesn’t make betting Covid sports right. It makes me a stupid degen with money

    Edit:
    Man did I show a lot of commitment to those crummy Colts. Also, we someone who is committed to teasers now.

    Lakers game was very interesting, though. I thought they were really going to pull off that epic comeback. Down 23 with 10:30 left in the game, pull into a tie, lose anyway by like 7.

    Lakers find a way to fail even when doing something amazing.

    Never watched. I saw the -20 or so and the money in my account. Didn’t know they rallied (for not).

    I had the same Nets -1 (I actually had +1, but whatever) and somehow ruined it by making a big bet Lakers -2 bet today. Horrible.

    I also had the same Packers/Colts teaser. And it is funny because when I originally did the tease I teased it to Packers -2 and Colts +7, so I of course did the extra half point to bump the Colts to 7.5, and the half point actually saved me on the other bet.

    But I am with you with all the teasers. Got 2 for tomorrow.

    Cowboys
    Chargers
    Eagles
    (10 point 3 team tease)

    Falcons -.5/Seahawks -.5
