    I have a friend who gives me very infrequent NBA tips. Usually exceptionally good tips.

    He's very confident that Miami will win by 10+ and I just put a substantial wager on -9.5 @ +105

    Game starting in a few.

    I actually considered this one, but eventually pulled away from it for various reasons. I like it better than Sac +9.5 though.

    I don't usually like such large spreads but he is the man.

    Thanks and good luck to you.

    Like you said, game time lines might be better for your system.

    I just got u229 and u211.5 on These other two
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    I'm still looking at this. Sometimes attempting to do this will backfire, such as yesterday's Boston under, which fell from 217 (when I posted it) to 213.5 (game time). 215 points were scored, so waiting would have fucked you.

    Washington looking horrible.

    I was a little doubtful about that one because both teams have the tendency to inexplicably terrible, and OKC has looked a lot better lately compared to Washington.

    But the numbers justified this one, and I decided to pull the trigger. Unfortunately the Thunder are looking very good so far (aside from a few sloppy turnovers), and the Wizards, who scored fewer than 80 last game, are looking horrendous.

    I don't see this one happening, though you never know with OKC and their tendency to shit the bed. But being a 17-point game, and the Wizards looking awful, it's hard to imagine it coming back to 5 or fewer.

    Wizards cut deficit from 19 to 8, so that's looking a bit more promising.

    Knicks under starting off badly.

    Might this be the first time I lose a Knicks-related pick in a long time?

    Almost ready to concede this Knicks one in the middle of 2Q.

    Washington came back and now this one looks very viable, even to win outright.

    Miami are lazy and don't work hard enough in offense... I hope they lose this now my spread is dead.

    edit
    12 points up halfway through the 4th quarter and you could see they started to coast and drop their effort. Sac did smash them with their shooting percentage but they made it too easy for them.

    Glad they choked, they didn't deserve to win.

    Go Wizards!

    Well, let me rephrase, glad they choked once I knew the spread was gone.

    Washington can't quite get close enough.

    I think I'm looking at 0-2 going into the final pick.

    What a waste of a great game by Beal.

    Oklahoma playing mad that they didn’t get more all star votes and they have been winning a lot unlike Washington. Plus home.

    No defense at all in this GS game, plus nobody is missing 3s

    Ugh. I'm calling the 0-3 day already in the early 3rd of the GS game.

    Sorry, everyone.

    Day was a complete disaster. Both unders were blown out, and the only game with a chance to win was the Washington side, which was behind most of the way, and ended up also losing.

    0-3 brings me down to 133-96-3.

    The winning streak seems to be over. I am now 4-5 over the past 3 days, after being 18-6-1 prior to that. More importantly, only 1 of my past 9 picks has been of the "blowout correct" variety, and even that one was a sweat because of the OT (though it still won). At the same time, I've had 4 clearly decisive losses of out of those 5.

    Overall, since December 31, it's been a bit of a rough road, with me being 35-34-1 over 70 picks.

    I'm still feeling good, though, as I was putting up a lot of wide-margin winners in that recent winning streak, so I think today was just an anomaly.
