    Dollars2Donuts NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB and assorted sports thread - Beginning January 2015

    Ok, the time has come to start my third tracking thread. Unfortunately, after 350,000 views it is time to move on from the last thread....and this thread will be my first to hit 1,000,000 views.

    If there is anything I learned in the last two threads, it is that I have strengths and weaknesses as a poster of a long-term thread. The days you win it is easy to come back and update your record, but sometimes, especially after a gut-wrenching loss, it just ain't that easy.

    To this day I have always known that I am an emotional person, for good and for bad. I never get down or depressed, and most of my emotion comes out in a positive way, whether at weddings, looking through family photos, talking about my grandparents, etc.....but sometimes it comes out in other ways.

    When I was young it was evident to me very early that sports was emotional for me. I think it is because of that, that I love sports so much. When I was a kid and my Winnipeg Jets lost, not only was I upset, but I could not put the radio on the next morning because I couldn't listen to them talk about the loss. The same thing happens today....when something negative happens, I need a bit of a break from it....not to cool of or anything, there is no anger associated with it, but I just need time for my emotions to run a little cooler.

    When running a thread, this can be seen as something negative. The thing is....it cannot be helped. People have seen over the years that a bad night will keep me from (sometimes) updating my record, for a day....hell, sometimes even a week, and even when the 6 days after that day have been positive or even great.

    This thread will be a little different. Fitguy67 (a really great guy) posted this in my old thread the other day:

    i got a great new excel set up with a ton of countif/sumif statements to make a nice report instantly...
    breakdowns by bet-size, sport, bet-type etc with W-L, units and lots of other cool stuff

    this would save you the hassle of updating after a shitty night...no muss no fuss...
    will also handle that annoying "grey area" of live-bets...if you post'em in time for me to get'em...they'll count...otherwise no...and i'll use the sheet's breakdown capabilities to spit out two record (with and without these plays="pre-game" only and "all in")

    if you like i can also enforce the thread's PNG (persona non grata list of "those to be ignored") policy...another chronic source of headache that tends to wear good people down and eventually say "fukkit" (and remember one of the greatest quotes of all time "no good deed goes unpunished"

    let me know if you're up to this by posting a link to your new 2015 thread, right here
    __________

    best wishes on all your enterprises in the brand spankin' new year
    and I am going to take him up on it.

    NOW, I need to be clear, as we head into the new year I may not be posting as much as previously. With a new job, a wedding on the way and a baby 4 months out.....life is going to be busy. But because I have had these last two weeks to relax around the holidays I have done a lot of preparing and I am ready to meet everything head on now.

    FG67's offer should help me a load, give me the time I need and allow the thread to continue on even if I need a 4 days break.

    I will be posting my plays as early as possible.....and I will follow all of FG's rules.....I will post live wagers, where I tend to do quite well, but they will only be counted as per his rules. Today's plays will be coming shortly.

    Best of luck in 2015 everyone.....

    You bet a lot. Statistically this will not work to your advantage as studies have shown.

    Good luck nonetheless. Any prop bets you like for the NFL post season?

    Both have been playing a little out of sync lately....and a lot of what I do is about rhythms. Denver isn't playing that same high tempo offense that they have, mostly because they have lost a lot of the parts that made that work, so that means that Lawson isn't doing his best work.

    At first glance I would say Memphis here....and at first glance I would also be on the under, but there are so many variables here that I am just not comfortable with, like Memphis' 2-11 record here the last couple of years.

    Unless I see an edge I don't bet a game....and if I was to place a wager here I would be guessing.....so good luck either way.

    Thanks for the well wishes.....I do not do prop bets and I do not bet futures.

    As for my volume, I have over 7200 wagers over the past 2 years....volume does not scare me. If you are not betting an edge, juice will kill you over the long run....if you can bet an edge consistently, then volume actually can beat variance, which in my opinion is that toughest thing to deal with in sports betting.

    well if we statistically look a. D2D's track record you might find it does work for some.

    A very tough start in the NHL, where I lost both games in OT. Both better teams and both at home.....both lost in the first minute of the extra period.

    The over has cashed in the Carolina game, but unfortunately that Arizona +6.5 looks dead in the water. Hopefully tonight looks a little better than this afternoon.

    Unreal. The first NBA game of the night.....a game that never really got closer than 10 points at the end.....

    Charlotte and Orlando UNDER 188

    165 points with 2:03 to go.....

    23 points in the final 2:00......nobody missed a shot and both teams enjoyed running it up and fouling in a game that was done, over, complete.

    That one hurts.....I hope that isn't an indication of how this thread it going to frigging go. Wow.

    I wonder why Orlando keeps fouling when they are down by 10 with less than minute to go and then go on to score in the last seconds when nobody plays anymore.

    Those SOBs screwed dead certain "under".

    That's about as bad an under as I have ever missed out on. Total joke.

    And no, the NBA isn't fixed. You have an idiot coach, working against another idiot and two teams that suck so their players are just happy to actually score. Still total SHIT.

    I agree completely. Some games teams will foul 130 times in 20 seconds to make the total go high, and others the refs wont even blow the whistle.

    The biggest fix I have ever witnessed was the Lakers playing GS years ago. Lakers favored by 15.5 and up by 14 with 5 seconds to play. Tyronne Lue for the Lakers got the pass and made a layup as time expired to win by 16....UNREAL

    never would a team try to score there

    I hate those sorts of games,when you should have it in the bag and then it blows up in your face right at the end.
