Leaned hard Philly to be honest but then read that Denver's new player whos name I couldn't think of had a team party at his hometown of Philly. So that made me cancel my bet. Just in case some new found camaraderie was formed.

Edit: Denver 6 Philly 0 as I post this.

Philly clobbering Denver 54-35. Oops.

Also not looking good for my O/U, but I've seen the scoring die in the 2nd half many times with Philly games, so I'm not giving up yet.

Got a triple bet riding (under 2x + Boston -1) on that Celtics/Knicks game, so I'm watching that one closely.

For the moment it's 21-13 Celtics with 2 min left in the first, so looking fairly good so far.

Bonus reading about the Knicks:

There was a good article a few years ago about the massive FAIL by Isiah Thomas. I'll have to dig it up. Was like 8 pages, but really interesting.

[Dan Druff]

Ugh, bad 2nd quarter, Knicks/Celtics has 101 at the half. Why did I accidentally double bet this????

[Dan Druff]

What a beatdown.

1-5 day (only won Boston -1).

Got robbed with Golden State over, where scoring died in last 5 minutes and I lost by 1.

Also lost another thanks to the accidental double bet on Boston/NY under.

Brutal, took a $3780 haircut today.

[Dan Druff]

Did these both lose?

Bovada said they both lost, but I wasn't available to watch the Superbowl, so I couldn't see for myself.

Near the end of the game Collinsworth said something along the lines of "This is a close one just as the oddsmakers predicted" and Al agreed and may have said a word or two also I think

SB Nation says it should have been graded as a yes:

edit: It also says your other bet should've won

My bet was that Al Michaels wouldn't mention the spread, so I guess that was a legit loss.

But looks like I got cheated on the Pete Carroll thing.

Was the Mil spread up earlier, I have it at OTB all day so far on Bovada?

2-7 slump, will try to win today with:

Wash -2
Cleveland -4.5
Dallas -3.5

[Dan Druff]

Washington blew a late 11 point lead and lost by 7. Yuck.

Cleveland up 23 at halftime. I better win that.

Crazy I had my three bets of day in the same games as druff. I had Charlotte though based on a thread on covers.com


Cleveland on super ATS spread heater. like 12 of last 13 by my calculations. Called that one and been riding it but still down over that 3 week or whatever time period.


Took Minnesota +8 for tomorrow. They have the team that they wanted finally all healthy. I might also be looking at the over. Memphis is pretty slow for NBA standards but they seemed to push pace a little more their last game and Minnesota will play fast.


Edit: I have no clue how the Pacers are only getting 5 points against Cleveland. I understand they are home and Cleveland played tonight but that spread has me scared as fuck. Cleveland covered 12 of last 13 and they are obviously a big name team. When I see a line that just doesn't make sense like that I stay far away. Mind you I would never bet against Cleveland here but I'm definitely skipping this game. Expect something weird like the Pacers winning straight up. I see this shit time and time again.

Re-Edit: Leaning Knicks, Magic, Clippers, Bucks, and Suns

Hell sprinkle some money line on Pacers if you believe in weird things.

We've never seen as STACKED of a Three Point shootout as there will be this year.

http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2015/0...aturday-night/

I'm actually excited to see this for a change.

I will probably prop bet that dunk contest with Zach Levine. Going with the white guy that is freakish athlete and not even that tall card.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is an absolute freak and could do something never seen however. I will have to hope I try something too hard if I take that.

BGC/DRUFF/whomever:

Any thoughts on Warriors-Hawks tonight?

I'm definitely firing on something with this game.

[Dan Druff]

I don't like trying to pick games where two really good or two really bad teams play one another. Seems really unpredictable.

I'm also on board for Cavs -6.

Also:

Philly/Boston Under 192.5
Phoenix -5 -115 vs. Utah

[Dan Druff]

Gonna throw in a Milwaukee +6 at Houston

Playoff intensity equals more defense. If I had to make a bet on this game I'd go under.

Also if anyone here is one of those lebron haters I have a feeling the pacers are gonna beat them tonight. Not a big enough feeling to put my own money on it however. I hope I'm wrong since druff has his jew gold on the cavs.

My card for the night. (Bets made last night)

Knicks +7
Magic -3
Bucks +6
Twolves +8


All those lines moved in the right direction for me except minnesota

I bet within the next 5 years they move the 3 point line back. It is becoming a layup for some of these guys
