At the end of the day there's probably not one player in this league I haven't gone on a rant against, but all of these guys be it Chris Paul or Durant or LeBron are all crazy good players and you have to respect what they do. I don't really hate anyone deep down.

We rant because we are all compulsive gamblers.

Do the Spurs really deserve to be 5 pt faves in Chicago tomorrow night?

True

And no imo. I don't like that Chicago have burned me in both of their last 2 games but I'm gonna be on them again tomorrow. I'm not yet sold the 2013/14 Spurs are back yet.

Sounds silly but this seems to be one of those spots where the high profile dog that's been struggling somuch to be a dog at home steps it up in a National TV game. I'll take my chances at +5.

Everyone is high on San Antonio right now -- including myself -- but that line seems to be too much. Bulls might win that game.

**Seto** · 01-21-15, 11:29 PM

Well make that the 3rd team today that has made a run to go up late and blown it for me. Fukking idiots were up 5 with 2 minutes to go.

Spurs probably will continue playing better yeah but I still don't think they get homecourt. I'm probably gonna book Chicago soon.

Horrible game by both teams in the 4th. Neither team looked like they wanted to win.

**Seto** · 01-21-15, 11:34 PM

Today: 4-4, +4.04x
Total: 109-157-2, +57.21x

**Seto** · 01-21-15, 11:36 PM

Is the NorthWest division race back on btw?

If Aldridge misses extended time it's got to be. Thunder are now within 6 losses of Portland. Portland suck without Aldridge and they're also without Lopez so they have to rely on scrubs in the frontcourt almost entirely.

I'd hedged my original Thunder bet in time to get decent odds when I saw Portland were better than I thought but them having gone on a little rut and now (maybe) without Aldridge to get out of it... Who knows. Thunder now +500 or so. That's gotta be worth a couple hundred at least.

**Seto** · 01-21-15, 11:38 PM

Oops make that 8 losses. Dunno who I thought it was 6? That changes quite a bit

**Seto** · 01-22-15, 11:08 AM

Bulls+6 -110 (paddy power) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)
Bulls ml +225 (paddy power) (risking 1x to win 2.25x)

Should probably wait for 5D to go back to 6 to get reduced juice but they might not so I'm just booking this now. Fortunate I fell asleep yesterday I coulda easily locked this in at 5.

Honestly if Bulls dont cover, I'll be surprised

**RavensFan2k3** · 01-22-15, 12:58 PM

Shit but they play Dallas tomorrow on national TV aswell

**bucket2233** · 01-22-15, 06:12 PM

Seto, I don't recall you playing many over/unders, but I was wondering if you had any input on taking the under (currently 196.5 or 197) in the Bulls/Spurs game tonight. Spurs played poorly on the defensive side for most of Tuesday (Pop was pissed several times) and the Bulls bouncing back from a poor defensive performance Monday after some comments in the media from Bulls players (Rose). Perhaps both teams come out with a little extra effort on that side of the ball? What do you think?

I didn't see this before the game but I would've agreed with you for sure. Bulls in particular needed a strong defensive effort here. Hope you played it.

Pretty happy with where my season is at right now. I had a bit of an iffy stretch between mid-November and mid-December but things have been rolling for a little over a month now. No more up and down bullshit at least at the moment.

Hopefully this at least continues somewhat during the rest of the regular season. What I'm particularly hoping for is a strong playoff run. Last year's playoffs were a disaster between awful bets (Wizards series vs Pacers) and a bit of bad luck/bad decisions (taking the Spurs large in the only game of the finals they lost). I'd never had a bad NBA Playoffs before so I was really pissed about that.

Like the Mavs tomorrow night bro?

**oldscho0led** · 01-23-15, 07:38 AM

This is the 1 million dollar question. Do we fade the Hawks tomorrow or ride the Thunder? Leaning the Thunder as of now. I just feel like 4 points is big for a Thunder team w/ healthy Durant and Russ. And its not like they can just lose this game and think of the next game. They need every game they can win as of now to catch the Suns.

Honestly I'm uneasy about this game. Thunder should win but I dunno. They will beat Cleveland on Sunday for sure if they lose tomorrow, I agree with you that they won't be thinking that way but that's what might end up happening. I still think they sweep this road trip but I don't think I can touch tonight's game.

They've had total no shows at home against Eastern teams, Pacers, Knicks (somehow won in OT), Heat, Pistons, Hawks... I don't know whether to follow or fade that trend tbh.

Let's wait to see a line. BOL have -8 but we know that could be off.

Why is Dallas only -7.5 (soon to be -7) here with the Bulls on a back to back? Books really putting that much stock into how Chicago played yesterday?

Probably staying away from this game.

What do you mean only? Are they that much of a better team?

**Seto** · 01-23-15, 10:21 AM

Heat-3.5 -110 (paddy power) (risking 2.2x to win 2x)

**Lincoln Scofield** · 01-23-15, 11:58 AM

That was a quick drop to 3 huh...didn't even hit 3.5 at most books.

Looks like Wade is questionable.

**John Deere** · 01-23-15, 02:09 PM

Is this your only play Seto?

**leetreaper** · 01-23-15, 03:38 PM

Terrible spot for the Heat, Whiteside and Wade are questionable plus Pacers desperate for a win and Hill is playing.

**mlb** · 01-23-15, 04:58 PM

excellent work in here SETO
