I believe druff has complained about this already,
I am growing increasingly frustrated with Bovada live betting... why do they only warn you or stop a bet when the line has moved in your favor
yet goes through like the wind when line moves against you
fucking scammers
PFA NFL Handicapping Champion
Going all in on Kyle Bush for the win and all matchups.
Also like most Jr and Kurt Bush matchups as well.
So I've been on the Portland bandwagon recently. They have been very good since getting off to a bad early start, and are consistently beating the spread.
Today they were against a Dallas team which has been going the opposite direction, though in Dallas.
I got Portland -1 -105.
Started off great, with Portland up 36-25 after 1. Then they had a bad 2nd and were down 58-55 at half.
Then they fell way behind, and it looked pretty bad. They were down 11 at one point in the 2nd, and I almost wrote it off.
Then Portland came back in the 4th, taking a 106-104 lead.
Then Portland was down 113-108 with less than 2 minutes left.
Then Allen Crabbe made a basket, taking it to 113-110. But wait! A minute of play later (at the 0:37 mark), they reviewed it, and decided that Crabbe actually made a 3. What?! I've never seen such a thing before. So it became 113-111.
Then Lillard tied it 113-113 with a layup.
Dallas ball. Foul against Mejri, who shoots two with 13 seconds left. MISSES BOTH! Still 113-113.
Lillard takes a game-ending three. MISS!
Going to OT now.
Now Portland can't score in OT.
Thought I was going to get this one, but it's pretty much over. 121-113 now in OT with 2 min left.

I think it's time to bet the Raptors to win the East.
No, they won't beat the Warriors (or the Spurs if the Warriors somehow choke), but nobody in the East looks good right now.
Cavs are just one game ahead of Toronto in the standings. Toronto is 8-2 in their last 10, and their overall record is 48-21.
I see them as +600 to win the East on Bovada.
What are you guys seeing?
:Lohaus
38k if NI doesn't choke. Disgusting.
Xavier lost tho bro, so at least theres that
That loss by Northern Iowa was inexcusable. The A&M bigs were making it hard for them to throw the ball in but they should have heaved it down the court more even up in the air because even if A&M gets the ball it won't be right under the fucking basket for an easy layup and it will use up precious time.
I got to root for Oregon here now. Even 1-2 with 2 close calls will feel better than 2-1 and giving up an 11 point lead in 40 seconds, then losing in 2OT to lose almost a house.
Such a great weekend of basketball.
Poor Bill had to see his team get buzzered.

at least oregon won
god dam that oregon kids mom has some really really big tits. anyone else notice that?
Yup, I am pretty convinced that this is a dirty angle they pull with live betting.
I did miraculously get a live bet "rejected" recently where the line moved in my favor, but this barely ever happens. Yet it if the line moves the other way, it rejects EVERY FREKAING TIME.
It also takes a minimum extra 5 points juice on live betting on both sides. So if the line is +10.5, it will be 10.5 -115 on both sides. Sometimes it will even be worse, like -125/-110.
The "pause" when you submit a live bet is about 3 seconds or so. That's way too long. Pretty sure that's the angle.
So any comments on Toronto +600 for eastern conference? (Or better if you're not using a failbook like Bovada?)
I realize that they are inconsistent and clearly not a favorite to beat the Cavs, no matter what their regular season record ends up. However, the Cavs are anything but dominant, and there really isn't anyone else out east to be afraid of. Atlanta? Boston? I think Toronto will spank either one of those teams in a 7-game series.
To show you what a good value I think this is, keep in mind that Bovada has OKC at +700, and this team will likely have to get past BOTH San Antonio and Golden State!
I want to place this bet soon, because I think it might change. Any comments?
personally dont see any other finals happening other than the cavs vs. dubs
small chance we get cavs / spurs imo
i am by no means an nba expert however
