I'm pissed I didn't throw down some coin on the Rockets losing to the Heat. I knew it would happen. :mad:

So you literally lost out financially because you were preoccupied with posting saved pics of me last night.

Yeah... I could definitely see that as a thing that would happen to Proctor.

And it seems like that comment really hit home with you, maybe because there is some truth to it? If you ever need help, lmk. Its difficult from America to Germany, but I can try and get you the help you need.

Gambling is among the strongest addictions out there, and the negatives heavily outweigh the positives.

Yes, you got it. Suns are home underdogs (can lose by 1 and still cover). Nets are home favorites (need to win by 4 to tie... 5+ to cover). NFL is more my thing... we'll see how tonight goes, lol.

Jeff, you know what to do. Sticky this mofo.

I got a Nets+Rockets combo @2.09 tonight.

This and the same two in a multi with the Wizards and Bucks + Tennis match came off nicely for a +170.

Today I got the Lakers, nice odds @ 1.32, and I'm not too sure about the Pacers since Sabonis is a GTD.

Normally I'd take the C's as well @ 1.4, but with Brown out, who knows.

Both covered easily. Nice start to the thread! Are you talking ML on the Lakers? Not sure what you mean about the 1.32. Something feels fishy about the Celtics tonight. I did a ML parlay Lakers/Celtics though at -110. Was about to bets the Pacers as well... but saw the Sabonis update and not sure if he'll play? Turner already out.

1.32 are the odds, decimal odds, thats how they're displayed in europe :lol

the ML at 6.5 could be worth a shot, yea.

I agree with you something feels fishy about the C's. I have them in a low stake multi. The big money went on the Lakers + CL games tomorrow.

I think at 1.7 odds Indy is still worth a shot

Moneyline just means to bet the team outright. I had a 2 game parlay where the Celtics/Lakers both had to win at -110 odds. Then also bet the Lakers ML -300 odds (dumb bet but got lucky with that comeback). Weird how odds are shown differently in the US vs elsewhere.

i quit gambling after last post season when i won like 300 on that rockets warriors game 6 everybody had golden state losing on the road with durant out, and then proceeded to lose every penny of my winnings going forward.

The worst part is i spent the "winnings" off my debit card that weekend before cashing out, and ended up losing them on the site with additional bets, so the hype off that one win put me in a double hole. :facepalm

but the odds are WAY down at that point?

the only time youd get the same odds was when they were up 14-11 because of Brown, but then that situation clouds your judgement and you shy away from the bet.

other than that i agree. i often do that for tennis where both players hod serve, but you can tell whos better while bookies miss it.

the companies are rich because of parlay bets. hardly because of big underdog bets because those usually come with small stakes.

singles are always the way to go and are the only way betting pros move and make their money.

and those singles are usually big trust + big investment, but not necessarily taking a shit odd for a payout that is a third of the stake. thats a sucker bet.

that only works if you have a huge payroll and can do those kind of bets with a 1k stake over and over.

The only reason it was shitty odds is because I placed the bet when the sixers were rolling. There's no way to know before the action starts if a coin flip is worth it or not. It's basically betting blind at that point. Sixers looked way better for most of the game and then almost choked it away. Refs ****ed them with a few calls too like that embiid charge where the home team superstar almost always gets that call. Took a harden miracle but it shouldn't have.

Smashing the Game 5 line though for sure. Sixers blew their load today.

duhh..

no people that seriously make money with NBA bets bet live lol. the only good thing about betting live is taking the underdogs, cause leads get thrown away all the time and bookies overreact to them.

you basically did the opposite of what a smart bettor does and have the audacity to say betting the pre game line is "betting blind" :lol

no it just means that on the basis of what we know, making the sixers the underdogs today made no sense. if you had courage/knowledge you would have taken that line and more than doubled your money. instead you made a sucker bet.

im not trying to reign on you. just giving you some knowledge.

I see what you're saying but in my personal betting experience it seems like over time when I bet pregame coinflip odds I maintain a flatline balance...win, lose, win, lose over and over. Like a hamster wheel. But when I bet bigger money on favorites my bankroll grows. Especially if I can spot a tell. (Like ref bias)

I'm starting to frequent the sportbook sub reddit though and trying to reevaluate my strategy / throw some other strategies into the mix.

I do get what your saying though. Courage is a big deal in gambling but it's a fine line between that and being dumb with it and overextending yourself.

because now you made 33% of your stake and bet a line that was like 75% favorable and it turned into a 50/50 shootout, at times more likely to lose than win (harden save). so if you get this kind of bet right 3 times but wrong once, youre dead even.

starting with 600 and being at 1400 is good though.

when you have less bankroll which you usually do at the start as you dont wanna make any big losses with your capital but only bet won money to get you going, betting is a lot more difficult. ive been there. i mainly buit myself up with small parlays.

eventually raising my stakes more and more.

because now you made 33% of your stake and bet a line that was like 75% favorable and it turned into a 50/50 shootout, at times more likely to lose than win (harden save). so if you get this kind of bet right 3 times but wrong once, youre dead even.

starting with 600 and being at 1400 is good though.

when you have less bankroll which you usually do at the start as you dont wanna make any big losses with your capital but only bet won money to get you going, betting is a lot more difficult. ive been there. i mainly buit myself up with small parlays.

eventually raising my stakes more and more.

I knew a guy who used to exclusively do like 8-9 leg parlays and meltdown when 1 of the legs would inevitably fail.

He also was huge into underdog betting and put a bet on that vikings colts game from a few months ago when the vikings came back by like 30+ points. Guy was damn near flipping tables over in his adrenaline rush.

I don't have the balls to place bets like that so I usually play it safe but am trying to learn new strategies and mix it up.

well like i said those big parlays are sucker bets and bookies love them cause 1-2 legs always fail. so if you do them they should be very low risk/stake, which is what i used to do.

also cashing out, out of principle always kills your winnings. you will never get even if you cash out for principle as soon as you are up just to "be safe". if you have a tell, do it. other than that, bookies love cash outs.

i woud advise if you get your bankroll up to 2000 in your acc to take the 600 out, so ideally you are only ever betting with won money.

its possible you will have to re-finance but thats the ideal. i started with like 200-300 back in 2016, i got up a k, back down.. up 2 ks, back to 0... all in all i had to load up my acc with new money about 5-6 times i think. ever since 2019 ive been playing with won money only, never made a new deposit, and am in the plus big time for life.

Sometimes I do just want to cash out because betting makes watching sports stressful. Instead of just kicking back and enjoying the game you have to be hyper obsessed with a particular outcome. I'm platinum in yahoo fantasy football but think I'm gonna quit because of how stressful it made Sundays.

yea thats not good. thats not how it feels for me. prob cause youre playing with more of your capital.

Still up, but this series is tough because the odds are ridiculous in Denvers favor. -390 isn't worth it unless betting in game and the outcome looks certain.

Spread is -/+ 9 which is crazy blowout type spread. Honestly I think with Miamis lack of rest, Denver altitude, and Denver being fully rested and prime to pop off the spread on Game 1 may be worth it. I could see Denver winning by 15+ points.

Put your money where your mouth is player. Nuggets could come out, out of sync. Heat picking up where they left off.

Bet $1800 on Nuggets covering.

:roll:

You just want to see me lose my bankroll.

Sorry son, until I get a feel for the series I'm not betting anything big.

100 bucks is all I'll put on a spread like that but I need to see how the action looks in the 1st quarter. If Miami looks slow and tired I may up the ante. They're coming off a brutally draining series.

Kinda risky for a team like the Heat who linger and fight back. You'd get worse odds if they show up poorly in the first half of the 1st quarter, only for them to turn it on later

I'd go all in from Denver. Don't be a bitch bro.

Generally speaking you've been wrong on almost every prediction you've made this post season while I've lost some but won more than I lost.

If it were up to your intellect being correct the Suns or Celtics or Lakers would be in the Finals right now.

I could probably profit on simply doing the opposite of what you say. :oldlol:

I like it but the thing with PG and Harden is, Im not sure how long they can carry a team. They def can chime in with huge games, but to count on them for an entire series? I wouldnt be surprised if there wont be much tonight from them.

Although PG has carried the Clips for a significant stretch in the 2021 WCF.

PG can carry. They still got Brody off the bench.

2-0 without Kawhi he stalls the offense anyway with his ISO mid range crap. They play better with Harden running point.

They might, its not an insane take.

But Brody off the bench is an insane take. Dudes ass.

Am I crazy or is 1.6 a crazy line for the Sixers? The Sixers are an absolute banker to win game 6 to me.

Cause 1.6 is crazy high. Id put them at 1.3. Theres no way they lose game 6 after how game 5 ended.

I put a k on it.

Not just did this fail, but I had 100 on Embiid for top scorer, which failed cause Brunson got fouled with 7 seconds left... fml :lol
