My First and Probably Only Hockey Play Ever

[shari91]

Im not sure who you are directing this too Shari. My question is simple. Why would one lay -300ml on a NHL play in the first game of the first series where rd teams always give it there best? One can say what they want but the Caps had no value at -300. The Habs had incredible value at +240 or more considering they beat the Caps 2 of 4 in the reg season including 1 of 2 in washington, so they were made 2.5/1 dogs when they had proven they could win in washington already and have the better goalie. Im not putting down TB at all but no one wants to question a -300ml pick and I will argue all night with folks about that. Im not talking at the end either cause i took MTL ml before the game.

I accidentally deleted part of my original post but it's above.

My only response is again: Why did we bet substantial money on 2 overs in the NBA this week, of all weeks? A bet that can be beaten by a hook, when the teams for the most part DON'T care as opposed to the Habs who do.

We're gamblers. Plain and simple.

I made the totals bets and lost no problem and accept my defeat at -110. Just tell my why its okay to take a -300ml NHL fave at home in game 1 of rd 1. Thats all I want to know. This is being typed as i sit here watching the -180ml canucks in ot in game 1.

Somehow I deleted this right when I was posting: There are scores of people who would look at us as idiots, and definitely do based on the PMs I received begging me not to make those plays, for betting anything more than 3x on an NBA over/under. ESPECIALLY this week. And especially when there's a hook involved. TB took a ML fave.

Would we have listened? Should we have? (Well obviously this week we should've )

In summary for this week... heavy favorites suck donkey balls, crack rock stupidity is only superceded by playing NBA the final week of regular season, hockey is similar to grabbing your ankles, and Washington will not make my short list for favorite cities anytime soon...

- making fun of my totals plays now eh


No problem i can take it

I'm not making fun of you at all!! But people thought we were absolute idiots... and were very vocal about it. And because we lost, they feel as though they were proven right. And in hindsight, we probably shouldn't have made those bets at that level during this week but what if we had hit? We wouldn't be reflecting on whether or not it was a crazy bet or not.

That's all. I don't regret the bet amounts I make, although I do sometimes regret the side I took after the game's over, because if I couldn't afford it, I wouldn't do it. TB was gambling with pure profit and took a punt based on a tip. This time it didn't work out but TB's promised me that she will never make another bet on hockey again so it's all good.

And the playoffs are starting...

You will never get it through to them. It's easier to bet the better team. It's more fun to root for Ovechkin. It's more fun to root for the home team.

Of course TennisBabe is now a superstar so his (or her) head is way to inflated at this point to admit that this looked like an easy way to garner more attention that failed.

Also, you have the Babe groupies who will roll in now and bash me or anyone who disagrees. You know how the script goes.

I hear you and I was just asking a simple question. Of course on this forum i see so many betting -300 ml faves on so many sports and claiming to be sports betting geniuses.

[shari91]

Also: If it was purely because of the proportion of her bankroll put in play that made this a bad bet, then there are a whole hell of a lot of people in LBs NBA thread who probably could use a stern talking to as well, considering people are going all in, 50% of their bankrolls, etc on plays this week!!

[jonblayze8]

dont sweat it tb...get em tomorrow

[Marigold HD]

Good luck in the basketball playoffs

[Shortstop]

What annoys me even more is I don't have versus so I'll be forced to rely on crappy computer feeds to watch

I am thinking however of not watching and heading out for the night.

$175,000 at The Greek, yet can't afford to subscribe to a cable or satellite service that airs the NHL Playoffs!

[bigbank]

that's funny

[Tommy_de1st]

Just woke up to see what happened
Feel sorry for ypur loss TB

[shari91]

I forgot to add - I wish I DID blindly tail TB and a few other cappers on the forum. I'd be up a hell of a lot more than I am now, to tell you the truth.

[Slainte]

Amazing thread, gl with the next bets tenisbabe. I apologize to all the girls in this forum that i doubted the existence of girls that bet seriously.

[himeshforex]

thats the rite thing tb...lets get there !!

[superjeff24]

To all the people asking why someone would risk that amount, the answer is simple: 9 times out of 10, Washington knocks the piss outta Montreal by 2 or more goals. Ovechkin played horrible, Washington had no fire after the 2nd goal, and Montreal played the best they can possibly play. Will I take another risk on a heartless Washington play? Not game 2. However, -300 for a team as strong as Washington is a bargain.

Im sure you dated one of the Gold Medal winning Olympic canadians LOL RIGHT

LOL- montreal has won 3 of 5 games between the 2 teams. That kind of thinking is what gets bettors buried. If thats the case why wasnt washington -900?

[pavyracer]

Not a lot on the TV tonight and while I'm not a hockey expert I did talk to two friends who follow it closely am from the little I have seen from this team the last two years I feel comfortable doing this...

WASHINGTON CAPITALS ML
RISKING $43,050 TO WIN $15,000

Stick to tennis balls because you have big balls betting 43 dimes on a -280 ML in hockey playoffs.

[venture]

Wow 43k i was sweeting my 430 bet. Hope you get it back this weekend in baseball. GL

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

This guy is a joke lol. The man says hes laying 43k on a Game 1 of a sport hes never bet on before which he said was 40% of his bankroll and everyone in here believes this? You guys must be wacked this was complete B.S the guy didn't lay 43,000. Sorry TB but got no respect for you

[BigdaddyQH]

Like this guy really wagered 43K. I'll believe it when I see it. Actually I am hoping that he really did this because he has got to be the biggest sucker that every gambled. I can't wait to remove his money from him in the football season. Talk about your suicide jumper. This guy is as easy as I have ever seen. And look at all the people who followed him. Next he will tell us that he wagered the other alleged 60% of his bankroll on Washington in game 2.

[GiveMeaBJ]

There are screenshots posted fellas. They look real to me.

[mikemca]

Not that I am on the TB bandwagon but why does everyone think he/she can't have that big of a roll.I said in another thread it is not uncommon for someone to have a few hundred K in their poker account why not sportsbook.I think he/she just was on an unreal heater for the last couple weeks.Its funny now that all of these people are going to follow TB blindly because of a 50 game sample but w/e GL

[mikemca]

Oh and the fact that TB got the majority of that roll on a 7 team parlay speaks volumes about his/her actual capping skills.

[shari91]

Again, WRONG.

TB won $88k on that parlay. The screenshot posted in this thread of TB's account balance yesterday was $175,000. AFTER making $43,000 worth of bets on the Washington game.

Let's go guys: $175,000 + $43,000=........... $218,000 give or take a few thousand that I'm not bothering to use to round up.

$88,000 from that parlay is less than half of that account's balance. Not the MAJORITY.

Cripes. You guys say that I'm 'defending' TB. I'm not - but I AM going to dispute it when someone says something as if it's the gospel and they haven't even bothered to read a few pages or provide an alternative insight other than "stupid play man".

I used to dispute the same trash in LB's thread until a few important things were pointed out to me to make me think twice and I'd do it for anyone else.

Anyway, again best of luck with your plays if you have any today!

[hels]

Shari I agree with everything you've said and I know it's true. There isn't any point in us arguing anything with other posters. It's a waste of our time and let them think whatever they want. To be honest, the majority of them won't believe someone has $43k to wager on a game. Who cares? Me and you know the truth and that's what's important.

You're 100% right . Have been feeling feisty the past few days due to a couple of things and the level of absolute rubbish people say on here finally did my head in.

But I'm out of it. People can think/believe/do whatever... there's no talking sense to them, even when you throw logic right back in their faces, so I give up.

See you in the other thread later tonight if I can make it

Hopefully you can!!! And Camel posted a couple more union plays in the nrl thread so check'm out and hopefully his trend continues!!! Phenomenal right now he is.

Careful guys you might get banned or warned from the mods if you say anything critical about TB like I did

I really don't wanna go back and forth with you but when the 7 team parlay hit it was the majority of the Bankroll.Then Tb went on a heater playing with house money to build it up to 200k or whatever it was
