yeah was tough to get beat by the hook there.. thankfully smaller play. once they tied it i thought it looked ok but in all honesty i was probably on the wrong side there.

1. obviously Fri the 13th games, right?

2. enjoy marathon while it lasts...if you make any habit of winning, you get hit with a ridiculously tiny MAX wager size...(in my case it was $1.34)...that's code for "there's the door"...good news is when u put thru a withdrawal request for the full balance after getting limited like this...it gets processed back to your e-wallet in MINUTES...they won't rip you off at all...but they will politely say uncle and ask you to leave...i do miss their wonderful prices for hockey & basketball

1) Yes.

2) I don't doubt that. But hey, as you said I'll enjoy it while I can

. Good to know they don't stiff although I wasn't excessively worried about that.

The funny thing is that I have eaten 365 alive who have a reputation for limiting players and they've never done that to me. Nearly every other book of that sort has though (william hill, 888, etc etc). Haven't won nearly as much at those books which is strange.

note: i'm not that confident here but i do think the nets are potentially a good play. i'm just betting that much (basically the limit as most have probably understood by now) because i think the line is off and i'll be able to hedge out of however much i don't want of this at a profit.

Pistons-5.5 -110 (bwin.com) (risking 2.01x to win 1.83x)

Pistons ml -208 (bwin.com) (risking 2.01x to win 0.96x)
Pistons ml -225 (marathonbet) (risking 2.76x to win 1.23x)

So Nets win: +0.86x
Pistons win: +0.18x

Won't grade bet as either a win or a loss since there is no "risk" but just add units accordingly.

**Seto** · 12-13-13, 11:20 AM

Bobcats+7 -108 (pinnacle) (first half) (risking 2.16x to win 2x)
Bobcats ml +354 (pinnacle) (first half) (risking 0.5x to win 1.77x)

**DOM-Ganador** · 12-13-13, 11:54 AM

Man, that seems liked a lot of work on the Det/Brook game.
I guess guaranteed profit doesn`t come around often.

Yeah, I mean I know not only US posters come here so I still post those plays so people can jump on those bad lines bwin put out (and then either ride it out at a better # or hedge and guarantee profit). Sometimes I think maybe I shouldn't but I'm doing it for now. Obviously I can't guarantee all these lines will move and have gotten a couple either wrong or just they didn't move much, but usually they move my way.

Oops didn't see this. Nah, and I regret it. Pistons pissed me off so much v portland I didn't feel like going through their BS again..

Kinda like Celtics for today but not sure yet, will check back in with today's plays (if any) later.

**Seto** · 12-18-13, 07:05 PM

Celtics ml -110 (first half) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)
TWolves-2 -110 (risking 1.1x to win 1x)
Bulls+8 -110 (risking 0.83x to win 0.75x)
Grizzlies+10 (risking 0.55x to win 0.5x)

All sportsinteraction (could got a better number for bulls at pinny but got carried away putting down my wagers there since they had the best numbers for other plays smh)

Pelicans+10.5 -105 (pinnacle) (risking 0.79x to win 0.75x)
Pelicans+6.5 -110 (pinnacle) (first half) (risking 0.83x to win 0.75x)

Note that I won't be able to access marathon or bwin next 4 days cause I'm on holiday in a country that doesn't fancy my logging in there.. But do check them out for better #s if you have accounts.

**Seto** · 12-18-13, 07:13 PM

Blazers/TWolves largest lead over 15 -115 (5dimes) (risking 0.86x to win 0.75x)

Probably dumb to be overextending myself making lots of small plays but we'll see what happens.

**Seto** · 12-19-13, 01:00 AM

Today: 3-4, -0.25x
Total: 95-83, +67.44x

Coulda been worse, started out good too. Gotta avoid those action heavy-nights, if I only think something that is not big +money is worth less than a unit I shouldn't be playing it.

Warriors look great tomorrow. Seething I can't get to bwin they have them +110.. I expect Warriors-2.5 or so we'll see.

**DOM-Ganador** · 12-20-13, 01:01 PM

Well , you got crazy good #s on all 3 of your early Friday plays. Should be a good sign,BOL tonight.

Riding most of it and the full other 2 out at my numbers.

Lakers+3.5 -110 (sportsinteraction) (first half) (risking 2.75x to win 2.5x)

Lakers ml +220 (william hill) (risking 0.5x to win 1.1x)

Bobcats+6.5 -105 (pinnacle) (risking 0.79x to win 0.75x)

Probably dumb to be playing my Bobcats play as it's just a small lean but whatever. I need to lose more of those small plays before I'm convinced I should stop them I guess.

**NBA Maniac** · 12-20-13, 06:26 PM

you got +6.5

Now is +5.5 again because of Ricky Rubio

yeah i jumped early.. looks like i got the best line.

can't say i'm thrilled about a guy being out on the other team, but i'm not worried either. gl.

**fitguy67** · 12-20-13, 10:24 PM

nice bobcats win...another game that reminds me of the old joke:

"the NBA is considering a new rule change for next year...

give each team 90 points and play the last 6 minutes"...

the first half...and often the first 3 quarters have almost no bearing on the outcome of the game...look at the SAN/GSW game last night as another good example...i'd say 80% of all games fall under the logic of that joke

definitely some truth to it. unless you're the houston fukking rockets.

it was a good game to win but this is gonna be my worst night in a while unless all my laker bets cash.

cavs and nets had to tease me by going to OT, looking like they could cover and then blowing it... bucks just kept making 3s at the end smh.

nothing worse than hammering 3 closers and going 0-2, looking like possibly 0-3 on them.

**fitguy67** · 12-20-13, 11:20 PM

i need both lakers bets to hit too...let's channel the positive vibes for this game to continue along the same road started in the 1st quarter...

dear God...7 more minutes of good laker play, please...with extra padding to carry over for the second half...oh yeah, and "hold the amazing"...dump it all in on the games we ain't playin' ok?

since i have turned on the game they haven't had one good offensive possession.

have no clue how they scored 35 in the 1st lmao.

**Seto** · 12-20-13, 11:35 PM

looking like a loser smh.

**Seto** · 12-20-13, 11:37 PM

I think every single Laker possession since I have turned the game on has resulted in a turnover.
