tennis picks - one cancelled and another suspended. Those were the highlights

So what happens with the suspended one? My book's rules say as long as it is completed the bet stands. Is this going to be resumed later or what is going to happen?

I saw Fognini smashed his racquet too.


Edit

I don’t know which shitty pick you got caught up with.

Both Fognini & Lajovic are sched to finish @6:30pm EST (the only standard time that matters for sports)

Yeah.

I was a smartass that day. I bought at +123 and it closed +180 really hard.....or something and I mocked the sharps instead of covering. Closing line was sheer ugliness. I was being stupid.

But I was transparent about my stupidity in my post

I need Fognini bad cause I double bet him by accident. I need to sit out a day or two and regroup. I got too much going on and am getting loose and sloppy

Well, he’s still live. He should/could mail in the last game current set and even it up in next set.

That should be a sweet return on your parlay.

We will see

Call me old school, but I just can't go with a line like over 243 in the NBA if it's not the All Star Game.

But that's the line today for New Orleans vs. Memphis.

I just can't.

[Dan Druff]

I will go with an old school type under though:

Orlando at Charlotte - Under 206

[Daly]

Lot of tomfoolery going on at the offshore books. I’ve read that not only was Bovada and sportsbook playing games with Sharp/square lines but so was BOL. All three were advertising “3” as the number but anyone who wanted San Fran it went to a review and then came back as +1. I know this happened with a few people.

For what it’s worth this is literally the sharpest game of the year by a magnitude of 100. I make San Fran the small favorite but Not demonstrably so. Early indicators said public flocked to KC and there has been professional money looking to take the 1-2 points or the +110 ML. I don’t think there will be much of a story on the line leading up to the game. I don’t see it hitting 3 and I don’t see it jumping the fence.

Now it’s hurry up and wait for the props..

I find it hard to believe BOL was doing that. That definitely is the profile for Bovada and Druff has written extensively about it. We KNOW that is their practice.

BOL originates it’s own lines. Interesting to me, they took a Pinnacle trader and a BWIN trader for instance. On some sports they are running their own live action and not using a service.

They are first overnight with baseball lines. Before Pinny. That was very important to me. I don’t follow NFL overnight so I’ll step back a tad there.

Bovada has small NFL limits compared to BOL. BOL will take $25k and $50k from some.

So when they are originating lines the amounts are low and BOL don’t give a fuck. They know who you are and what that bet means.

Bovada is a square book that copycats other books and does shading.

It’s impossible to conflate those two books. They couldn’t be more different.

I’ve had three different people tell me they tried to bet +3 at BOL but was told unavailable after a 15 second long spin.

For a bit later:

Indiana at Utah - Under 216

[GambleBotsChafedPenis]

22 points in the last 2 minutes of the ATL/TOR game...thought for a second I had a middle at 224/232...

don't know how you bet unders in the NBA nowadays...jesus...

[gut]

I'm thinking the SB is going to be high scoring, a game much more similar to PHI-NE than last years snoozer.

Thus leaning over on some of the yardage props i've got:

Kelce 74.5
Tyreek 77.5
Sanders 40.5

all seem juicy at first glance. Might splash some on Watkins and/or Hardman to score a TD at +250 and +350

The whole Australian Open this year is turning into a pass.

Imagine you’re a player. Adrenaline then wait ... rinse and repeat...

Celtics v Lakers. I’m late to the party but Kemba Walker is famously 0-28 vs LeBron

I’d take some Lakers down 32-40

They never gave anything but a point difference. Lakers tethered to opening line and so public.

[Sanlmar]

I’ve had three different people tell me they tried to bet +3 at BOL but was told unavailable after a 15 second long spin.

I’m going to embrace this as more than something you saw on a message board. I know you.

I may be the ostrich with its head in the sand.

I will always treasure this photo. It was Kershaw headed to mound versus Nationals. One of the greatest sports events of my life.

Assholes. I’ve seen it since too.



You offer a bet with a stated maximum and you flat out don’t accept it. They didn’t freeze the line for everyone.

I’ve experienced that many times since. It’s new to me this year. I’ve been hoping this isn’t the beginning of nonsense.

Thanks for the anecdote. I try to stay off message boards and remain pure of mind but maybe I need to plug in.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Had the over in last night's GB/SF game and won easy but otherwise took it easy this weekend.

Hate paying this much juice on a puck line, but Detroit is awful and content to lose.

Colorado -1.5 -160


Bonus pick - I'm waiting/hoping for 230 but Raptors/Atlanta under 230.

Edit: Got under 230 just before gametime line went up to 231. Apparently should have took some Hawks ML or +10 as well.

Guess I should stick to NHL. Bet smaller on NBA but now I know how Druff feels. Awful fourth quarter after it was well on pace to be under.

Bump. Kinda brilliant


That’s gutsy in 2020

[Sanlmar]

Fognini cursing in Italian would be funny if I didn’t have money on him

These 6’10” - 6’11” tennis players are blowing my mind. Kids today. Every college pitcher is 6’10” now.

Opelka is prolly 7’ really

[rollinx420]

2 - 0

no shame in just giving up Edmund!
