Ha it's funny you mention him because I was just talking about him in another thread.

He's just completely lost this year.

Seto · 03-22-14, 10:59 PM

Need a big Warrior run now. They have to seize control of this game in the 3rd. If they let the Spurs hang around it could spell trouble.

Reign Man · 03-22-14, 10:59 PM

he gets great looks too, it's just he's off almost every single time

Seto · 03-22-14, 11:04 PM

Every time they can make a big play they fukking turn it over.

4 turnovers already this quarter and all at key moments.

Damn...

Seto · 03-22-14, 11:12 PM

Another turnover on a key possession.

Then David Lee blows a wide open layup.

Do they want to win?

Seto · 03-22-14, 11:17 PM

Spurs are such an annoying team to fade. They do all the fundamentals right. They don't foul, they don't turn the ball over, they punish every lapse you have.

Reign Man · 03-22-14, 11:34 PM

Curry just wetting the bed tonight and their bench is so awful man

Seto · 03-22-14, 11:37 PM

I've turned the game off. Will turn it back on if the score looks manageable with about 3 minutes to go but I couldn't take it anymore.

Fading the Spurs is just the worst. And I've had to stand it 2 nights in a row. Just really thought they'd lose one of these 2 games.

Do they plan on losing again this season?

KRIT · 03-22-14, 11:38 PM

Never bet against the Spurs when they are resting any of the big 3.

IllyPhilly[DOC] · 03-22-14, 11:43 PM

It's all these GSW t.o. costing them the game man. 6 to's in the 1st and another %+ in the 3rd which really did it. I'm so mad. Then the announcers have to add that Spurs are 20-0 after leading after 3 quarters on the road.

DOM-Ganador · 03-22-14, 11:46 PM

FK ME HRD. All my units from today gone with these D-bags.Rested, @ home, WTF.
After last night, absolutely loved this play.

Seto · 03-22-14, 11:50 PM

Today: 0-7, -11.06x
Total: 206-215-6, +83.42x

All that effort to get back to 100 and then bam, 2 nightmare days in a row. All because of one team, the fukking Spurs.

Rough.

Dude I won't blow up at you but please refrain from this in the future.

I just lost £1100. That's a lot of money.

The last thing I need to have in my day is some wise ass showing up after the game telling me why I made the wrong play.

I have already faded the Spurs with success in such situations. It didn't work this time. So be it.

rentongfb · 03-23-14, 12:08 AM

Don't worry seto, we will both get back from this nightmare.

Gambling is such a mental grind it's crazy. The highs and the lows... Man.

I don't regret either of the bets I made yesterday and today. They were obviously the wrong calls but I went with my gut and I can't fault myself for that. The one thing I am a bit pissed about is the amounts. I feel I put a bit too much stock into these 2 games, probably shoulda gotten away with about 3 & 8 units instead of 6 & 11. But it is what it is.

Same old spurs playing chest moves to throw everyone off. ** and TD out and people over react. That actually make spurs match up better with Warriors, TD and ** combine are over 100 years old no disrespect. Good luck tomorrow buddy!

Dude seriously. I already told a guy above you. If you want to tell me you disagree with one of my plays before the games, fine. After the games, that's a fukking dikk move especially when I lost a shit load of cash.

And I didn't fade them because they were resting stars LOL. You don't know me if you think I'd ever fade a team just because they were resting stars.

tonywayne · 03-23-14, 02:15 PM

I was fading the Spurs as well, Seto. I didn't want to, given who they were playing the last 4 games (I play a chase system), but I was pretty confident the Spurs would have a letdown on either Fri or Sat. Tough break.

Of course, now I'm looking at having to fade them for the next 4 games as well. Phi, Den, @Den, N.O. Maybe that home & home presents a good chance for them to let down, but oy, something seems to be lining up for the Spurs at the moment...

That's exactly what I did and it killed me.

If the Kings lose I will hammer GS tomorrow. Spurs won't get this W streak to 13. Pop is too smart to let this streak become a "thing". He knows it's playoff time soon.

I'm not gonna insist though. I hate fading them anyway. Have avoided it as much as possible this year.

Seto · 03-23-14, 02:29 PM

Looking at the stat sheet you wonder how GS lost

Outshot them 40% vs 39%, outscored them at the line 25-19, had more off boards 11-9, more boards 54-40...

The fukking turnovers and the 3's...

Seto · 03-23-14, 03:08 PM

Bucks+8 -109 (5dimes) (risking 1.64x to win 1.5x)
Bucks ml +330 (5dimes) (risking 0.5x to win 1.65x)

Can't believe I'm betting on this shit game but Bucks have actually been decent lately.

DOM-Ganador · 03-23-14, 05:22 PM

BOL tonight, on 2 early games in the league, 2-0 in Golf bets, and action on the College hoops.

Need some relief as well from the Spurs.

Pacers..never thought they would just lay down in so many games after starting so strong.
Forget not covering, they could give a shit, just not winning games they should win.
Who knows, maybe they have a plan that escapes me.

These two words do not belong together: Spurs and letdown...

They're just not that good.

Denver won 57 games last year and I called them frauds all year long and won big time fading them in the playoffs.

It isn't all about records.

Seto · 03-23-14, 06:22 PM

And btw Spurs and Thunder both have better records.

Seto · 03-23-14, 06:24 PM

Oh wait a second - you thought I was calling out the Spurs?

I was talking about Indiana.

leetreaper · 03-23-14, 06:25 PM

Seto is good people, been calling nuggets a fraud from the getgo too.

DOM-Ganador · 03-23-14, 06:26 PM

Sac folds like a bitch vs. SA , especially late, now clicking against the Junior Varsity....

Didn`t like the Bucks tonight, but after being up about 4.5 units for the day, my late bets looks like losers.

It would be cool if there was a cancel button before games start, as anyday I am 3-0, I would sit, be happy, and wait until tomorrow.

Bucks were a dumb bet. I should've known better.

Bad teams that continually lose close games are due for a blowout, not for a win. Also hard to get up for Sacramento when you just played Portland and Golden State close.

You know what i've noticed over the years, bad teams lose badly to the same bad teams and give trouble to a better teams...

Yeah at the end of the day it's just all about figuring out if these fukks will show up or not and I did a terrible job of that today. Have no complaints.

Looking forward to the playoffs. I feel like I'm wearing down a bit with regular season ball.

After making such a huge effort to come back from by bad February, having over 50% of that positive run washed away in 3 days is kinda soul-crushing. I just hope I have another run in me before the end of the reg season but if the playoffs started tomorrow I wouldn't be unhappy at all.

leetreaper · 03-23-14, 06:36 PM

Shake it off a couple of days and you will get that 100 Units mark back in no time
