lol u know what i did tonight... i went to make a live bet on Cavs game under 187.5 live and didn't realize i had clicked on the over cause i was in a hurry during commercials and i bet the over for 1.5 units... was fukkn heated. so i stopped watching the game when the 2q was low scoring as well with only 43 pts.

i checked later only to see a 60 pt 3rd quarter and all of a sudden I'm good lol

i guess this accidental bet is kind of like "fading" yourself

well it hit... beat the NBA by accident tonight

What's so surprising here? Miami layed in the weeds then attacked when it counts. OKC is not OKC on the road, they either look unbeatable or the worst defensive/turnover team in the NBA

ThaTopMoron · 02-20-13, 10:28 PM

they lost to the Cavs on the road

40-17 on your home court in one quarter?

And going 5 minutes without scoring against a team that literally plays zero D?

OKC just stopped playing too early.

or the bucks. up 10 then whole game then monta ellis takes over

bigtymer56 · 02-20-13, 10:30 PM

Wth? I just checked the okc score like 5 minutes ago and they were up 10. Wow.

As far as the hawks are concerned...they've been blowing big leads all season. Made a note a month ago not to bet them anymore.

Hawks fukking suck

Durant's new slogan should go something like this: No, i can't, oh no i can't, bluh-bluh-bluh oh no i can't.

Goes both ways. I got burned on Atlanta but Houston was a great surprise.

I had both as well. Doesn't make me feel any better about attempting to actually handicap these games.

Let's put it this way... I'd be pretty pissed had I lost Atlanta and Houston never came back.

Just always try to remind myself it works both ways. I'll never forget my big win with Clippers over Grizzlies Game 1 last year. I was off to an awful start to the playoffs but that game completely turned my fortunes around.

bigtymer56 · 02-20-13, 11:02 PM

Another big run to end to a game....Mavs up only 4 against the Magic with about 6 mins left....go on a 17-0 run.

Well what do u expect...if things in NBA, and other sports, always went down as they 'should', we'd be millionaires and bookies would be out of business.

i.e. OKC 'should' have beaten HOU but its not really surprising that they lost. Neither is the Miami game - although it's unlikely to see that kind of swing, but it does happen time to time in this game, esp when you have the best team in the league playing.

Here's all you need to know about betting the NBA.
Place your wager and say "I hope I'm on the right side of the fix"

The only difference between the NBA and WWE is at least the WWE tells you it's fake.

Yeah, but doesn't it make you feel like this is just a guessing game more than anything else? I mean, do you feel like you deserved to cash your Houston bet or have to rip up your Atlanta ticket?

I feel that way sometimes.

No but basketball is all about runs. I mean on the whole this stuff doesn't happen like every game but occasionally it does.

OKC didn't lose that game. Houston won that game. Don't hate.

Vinnie Paz · 02-20-13, 11:20 PM

You get what you get betting the hawks. I only had 1 play tonightmavs -10.5, 1 pt game going into the 4th, and they win by 15. 8 4th quarter points from Orlando got me the cover, sometimes the ball just bounces your way..

Frisco · 02-20-13, 11:38 PM

cant imagine how mad i'd be if I played Orlando

Problem is that you didnt cap the games at all, as always you were just looking for interesting lines on which the public would jump on and so on... Miami and OKC were both arguably short faves and the public was all over them. Was kinda obvious that some interesting stuff would happen in one of those games. At the end of the day it was a split and we all move on. Stop acting like you actually handicapped matchups and so on and got buried.
