    FUCK GUNNERS

    I bet on Charlotte tonight bc I like to feel pain. No logic except for the seemingly inflated line combined with public money being thrown at the dog.

    Also Cleveland ML.

    I’ll end up playing the LAC/GSW game but don’t really have a good angle on it. The only capper that I occasionally tail likes LAC but he constantly slanders the dubs and i feel like it’s a spite pick

    Cavs first to 20 -150
    Cavs ML -214
    Kelly Oubre over 11.5 points
    Hornets -7

    I can't find an angle on the late night game but still want to bet it so I'll parlay Clippers/Over and probably look to jump in live at some point

    Really like my picks but I'm over-invested in the Cavs game and typically fall on my face when I post picks before tip so we shall see.

    damn I can't get odds on which team will score first on the account i'm currently playing while waiting for the other to cash out.

    somebody bet Hornets first score -125 and enjoy a steak on me

    Well, first 4 posted bets were winners bet the Cavs ML loss will be costly. I hedged with Washington +11.5 early, but I’ll still net -1.6u

    I parlayed clippers, lac/gsw over, and Knicks ML. I think I’m going to take a semi-hedge here with GSW

    Ended up hedging the parlay with a 1 unit GSW play and took the over live at 231.5 for 2 units. As long as the over holds on it should be a profitable game

    Hit a squeeze play suns +7 Portland +3.5 (live) but missed over 210.5 by 0.5. And lillard definitely got fouled on that finish, bullshit. 2-1 ain’t bad for the game though

    Just took lakers ML -125 live line for 2U because what the hell its Saturday night ya know

    no reason to mince words, yesterday was a fucking embarrassment. detroit was literally down 30 at one point, shit like that will throw off your confidence. the cavs ML play also took a beating as well, but I can't say I regret that pick as it did appear that the route was about to be on. to make matters worse, I think I jinxed the 76ers as they missed a layup and a tip-back and lost their first 1Q of 2018.

    tonight we bounce back

    Nets ML -150
    Hawks +2

    a good bit; I've been a heavy gambler since my early teens. i was a bookie in college so I'm used to having constant action. thankfully, I'm generally good at picking winners and have made considerably more than I've lost.

    fun fact: i considered attempting a pro poker career before attending law school.

    i am a terrible gambler and end up negative most weeks but its never more than $20 or $30 so no big deal. i just enjoy the action win or lose

    was up $13 this past week so feeling good and excited to see that venmo payout :cool:

    the nets line has run 1.5 points since it opened which makes me feel really good about that play. Chicago needs that L way more than Brooklyn does.

    the jazz (+2.5 at home vs Houston) would be such a sharp-but-scary play tonight with the rockets coming off a tightly contested contest last night and traveling. plus the jazz have the secret weapon joey motherfucking ingles...if I am plus-money when that game tips I think I will try to double down on the Jazz. If I am down or even i'll probably stay away or look for a live-line entry point.

    This isn't my rationale but I'll be tailing: Valanciunas total points+rebounds. He should be looking at extended minutes tonight as they can't really afford to play Ibaka at the five against Drummond.

    Player props usually come out around 3 pm

    TODAY'S PLAYS:

    ATL +2 -110
    Brooklyn ML -150 (kind of big)
    Suns +8 -115
    Jazz +3 -120 (wait-and-see/option play)

    The super bowl one was the last one I believe. They’re weekly during football season and then just sort of randomly pop up from there.

    He is also a regular guest on The Roundtable on WJOX in Bham on Wednesday’s around 11:15 AM.

    I’ve got three bills on Rockets to win NBA Finals +850 and I’m trying to decide whether to hedge it. Any thoughts?

    Could take the Warriors to win the West -255, but that seems like it would give most of the value away.

    Over 85% of the public money is on LA but the line isn't budging...Hawks are not the fun play, but they are the sharp play tonight. I am not sure what Vegas sees in them, as they are in full-scale tank mode and the Lakers are actually trying to win games, but I am going to ride with the guys in the desert. Also just found out that the Hawks cut my man Ilyasova :(

    56% of public money on Chicago yet the line has gone from Nets -3 to Nets -5, ML opened up -140 and ran to -210. Vegas loves Brooklyn here...Chicago needs to lose this game much worse than Brooklyn does.

    It was a tough day to be betting dogs. Took a pretty miserable beat with the Suns (+8) who were down 2 with 2 to go and ended up losing by 9.

    Thankfully I am up right now so I got kind of irresponsible and put $550 on Minnesota 2H and turned a shitty night into a positive.

    Looking forward to a big Tuesday night!

    Sorry for the shit picks.

    Tobias I think the line is around -5, and I don't know if I would be comfortable laying 3/2 to buy them to -3. I could see the Heat struggling with the Lakers' size and length. I like this Lakers roster, but I try to avoid backing a young team who had the night off in Miami the night before the game.

    I will probably stay away from that game. To be honest I really don't like anything on tonight's slate very much as of right now. I want to like Philly but I don't think I'm quite there yet.

    the cavs are atrocious at home against +.500 teams, i think they've won like 2 games by more than three points. if the public stays heavy on the cavs (they will) and the line doesn't move i would probably take Philly which would seem to be the sharp play. honestly, though, all four games on tonight's slate seem to be toss-ups to me; i have yet to find an angle i am confident in.

    i told my brother i would go to the marshall vs uab game with him so i will be backing the uab blazers 1H ML -160. go blazers.

    nice pick boys! wire to wire.

    I missed tip and ended up taking Manchester City -135 as my matinee play. They are currently tearing Arsenal a new asshole.

    Any thoughts on NC State vs Ga Tech tonight? I don't follow ACC basketball but the line movement screams "hammer GT +3."

    Phi/Cle Under 224 -110
    Allen Crabbe over 14 points

    All relatively small bets, I can't say I am in love with any of these.

    May bet Sacramento tonight
