hang in there pal...appreciate you +ev picks over the haul...

there's no way to make money in b-ball or tennis or mlb without giving uncomfortably-large chunks of it back as the ups and downs cycle thru a long season...

the kiddies from PT who are fixated on win% (and not on $-netted) will never understand that

i posted the above verbatim in t-wizzle's thread a few days ago...and he went into a heater

The ups and downs thing is crazy. Just gotta somehow mentally hang in there until it gets better.

The thing is it's all coming at the same time - I'm making bad picks and getting bad luck on some others.

I can deal with a bit of bad luck when I'm rolling - I'll be winning less than I like to (and complaining as I complain about everything ) but at least not losing. When it all comes at once this kind of shit happens.

Sixers+16.5 -110 (bet365) (risking 1.65x to win 1.5x)

[Seto]

Sixers+10 +225 (bet365) (risking 0.5x to win 1.13x)
Sixers ml +2000 (5dimes) (risking 0.36x to win 7.2x)

[Seto]

Mavs-7/Thunder-7.5 parlay -107 (bet365) (risking 2.15x to win 2x)

I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this since I despise parlays and teasers but I don't see how either of these teams don't win comfortably. Giving it a try, I guess now's the time. It's better than a 5-pt teaser at 5D for instance that would only pay -110 for 2 teams, here I'm getting -107 for 5 points on 1 team and 6 points on the other.

Hopefully I get punished so I never do this again

Have a big play coming today. Trying to see if the line will move.

[Seto]

Meh, Pinny is leaning towards 4 so I'll just bet it.

Pelicans+4.5 -110 (bet365) (risking 5.5x to win 5x)
Pelicans-2 +210 (bet365) (risking 2x to win 4.2x)

[Seto]

Pelicans-10.5 +700 (paddy power) (risking 0.56x to win 3.94x)

Mavs-20.5 +900 (william hill) (first half) (risking 0.2x to win 1.8x)
Thunder-20.5 +800 (william hill) (first half) (risking 0.2x to win 1.6x)

Was just gonna post that I think tonight's the night it happens

[t-wizzle]

Nice bounceback night bro.

[KRIT]

Nice nice Seto.

[leetreaper]

[italianbandit]

Nice night.

[punkisnotdead]

Happy for u after black days !

[Seto]

Thanks guys.

Shoulda won even more, I wanted to put 1 unit on that +700 but couldn't cause of limits...

LOL at both legs on that teaser/parlay/whatever you want to call it losing by a combined 1.5 points. It's the second one I've bet in 3 years and I can basically guarantee it'll be the last one

Anyway, it's a nice start to what could be a big week. I have a couple games I like a lot on Wednesday.

I kind of like Pistons there, but don't feel all that strong about it. Heat are expected to get Deng back.

What do you think of Sacramento tomorrow. Warriors got a big game against Mavs on national tv the following day, thinking we can catch them napping.

Kings are back to being the Kings since they fired Malone so I'm not sure if we can trust them. They can lose by 30 to anyone on any given day.

If we could count on the Kings to give a big effort (like the Jazz did a few days ago) I'd like this play though.

[Seto]

This is also a rematch of THAT Klay Thompson game for what it's worth.

Kings were leading early in the 3rd before that outburst and ended up being down 24 or something at the end of the quarter. Klay obviously won't go off like that but that's the kind of thing that can happen with the Kings.

Seto nice night m8 !!

Waiting on that fukking pussy Durant's news. I had a big play planned on the Thunder, I rarely let one guy being out influence a play but obviously the reigning MVP is fairly important here.

[Seto]

Thunder+4 -110 (bet365) (risking 1.65x to win 1.5x)

He's out so I'm scaling back a lot on what I'm playing here. Had planned 10 units.

[biggerleaffan]

With you on OKC. I think Russell will step up tonight

[PartyGuy1118]

Thunder ML??

[Vinnie Paz]

Damn you sure love your bulls. I hate betting that team, they never score for me lol

[fitguy67]

Bulls ml +145 (bet365) (risking 3x to win 3.45x 4.35x)

fixed the typo for you...continued good luck

[KRIT]

BOL Seto. I like Bulls too. Only thing I worry about is their schedule. They haven't played since Friday and have been on the road for more than a week. Hopefully too much time off doesn't hurt them here like it did Okc a few weeks ago when they played Houston.

[fitguy67]

Damn you sure love your bulls. I hate betting that team, they never score for me lol

the team I dread betting on more than any other are the Pelicans...they just seem to know when i have anything on or against them...and use that information in the cruelest way possible...they have good enough personnel to kill you on any night when you go against them...but they're also one of the weakest-character teams...quick to roll over and die...just when you need 'em to perform

[Seto]

Wizards-10.5 +900 (paddy power) (risking 0.5x to win 4.5x)

[NBA Maniac]

Updating a previous report, Kevin Durant (toe) has officially been ruled out of Wednesday's game vs. the Pelicans.
