      Pacers ml -130 (paddy power) (risking 3.25x to win 2.5x)

      I was supposed to take the -1 last night but waited too long. I don't feel like testing my luck these days so I'm going against my principles and taking the ml, which is kinda stupid but whatever.

        Why is New Orleans -5.5? I know Mavs just played 2OT, but still.

          Yeah it's the back to back + 2 OT factor. The line does feel a bit high and I'm not very high on New Orleans at the moment, but I don't feel comfortable there. Dallas might fade late in the game, unless they can really get a lot of contributions from their bench which is a possibility I guess. It might be better for them to just rest Dirk then have him out there playing tired for 25 minutes or so, not sure if there's any chance of that happening.

              Not sure what Indiana has to do to get a foul call. They've shot 3 free throws all half and have repeatedly been hammered going to the rim. Unreal.

                Today: 1-0, +2.5x
                Total: 38-64-2, -32.54x

                Fukkers actually took an 11 point lead with 2 minutes to go and managed to make me sweat it. Unreal. If I had the spread I would've been going beserk when Orlando cut it to 3

                Good to get a win. Hopefully things trend upwards from now on.

                  Great win for the Mavs. New Orleans are even worse than I thought.

                  Really starting to believe in that round 1 matchup with the Clippers if it happens I'm on the plane crossing the pond in April for sure.

                    Probably the card that's caught my attention the most in a while tomorrow. I'm unsure about a few games though. But as of now I like New Orleans, Washington, Dallas, and Portland. The first 3 worry me though, New Orleans and Washington are shit in my mind so I don't like backing those teams and the Dallas line makes no sense to me which worries me a bit, even though the Bucks are 9-7 at home so that could explain it a bit. Still figured the Mavs would be -3 or so.

                    We'll see what I end up doing.

                      New Orleans is the new Detroit Pistons. Talented young team but no leadership and too many loser personalities. Eric Gordon, Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans are all losers. I used to like Tyreke, but now I'm starting to think he is part of the problem.

                        Pelicans+2 -110 (paddy power) (risking 2.2x to win 2x)
                        Mavs+1 -110 (paddy power) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)
                        Nets+5.5 -110 (paddy power) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)

                        Favourite play is Portland but waiting to see if it hits 10.

                          They do lack leadership but I'm not sure if they're the new Pistons. They also have a team made up of players who are constantly injured (Davis, Gordon, Holiday, Asik...) which doesn't help. Regardless I think they bounce back from that embarrassing loss to Dallas' reserves the other day, hopefully that goes well...

                              Feels like tonight could be a tough spot for the Warriors. Friday night at the Rose Garden and Lillard is back. He's a competitive guy; you know he and McCollum will be up for the challenge of going against Steph and Klay.

                                Why would you consider Jrue a loser?

                                  Yeah I agree. Portland is typically at least competitive at home, they laid a rare egg against the Clippers (even though they made a mad run to get within 5 or 6 late) so I doubt they'll do it again in a huge game like this. They destroyed Cleveland not long ago so hopefully they can come up with a similar effort.

                                  McCollum should come out pissed after that nonsense that kept him out of the last game too

                                  I actually have a really strong gut feeling about that game and would like to go bigger, but the thing is on any given night we know the Warriors can win by 20 so it's tough to go huge against them unless they're playing the Spurs or something.

                                      Keep in mind they still will be somewhat cautious with Curry in the 4th quarter because of his injury. In fact, Walton has been instructed to rest his starters quite a bit in the 4th and that trend will continue. So if GS does build up a lead after 3, Portland can back door with 10 points.

                                        Thanks same to you. Backdoor is always an added bonus as a possibility yeah but I think this will be a close game at least.

                                            Yes, this has the makings to be a GS buzzer beater.

                                                Last daays i have not be betting much. Have been cold, and when i saw you were on Indiana I just did'nt pull the trigger.
                                                Nothing against you (you are a good capper), BUT i have been cold, and you either, so if like the same pick, it isn't a good sign, when we are both cold

                                                Hopefully you had turn things around

                                                  Nothing against you (you are a good capper), BUT i have been cold, and you either, so if like the same pick, it isn't a good sign, when we are both cold

                                                  Lol I don't take that badly dw I know I've sucked lately but I do find it a bit of a silly type of reasoning that said to each his own

                                                  I took Chicago live yesterday so I've actually won 2 days in a row and am up in 2016. I'm still down about 1800 on the season though (and, by my type of reasoning, I'm down 8 grand because I was up 6200 at one point and I always compare myself to my highest point).

                                                  I hope it'll turn around too. Would be nice to win today to build momentum. Knew something didn't feel right about that fukking Mavs game. Need the other plays to come through.

                                                    I swear every time I watch the Orlando Magic it's one of the worst NBA games I've ever seen. How this team has a winning record I'll never know. At least things are starting to come unstuck for them and Boston so it's like the stars are kinda realigning a bit for me.

                                                          Nets have missed 6 free throws in the 4th. They're down 6. Bad teams always find ways to lose lol.

                                                            How do you not foul down 6 with 14 seconds to go?

                                                            I'm cursed. Unreal. Beat the closer by 2.5 points and lose by the hook.

                                                              The collective intelligence of this league is startlingly bad. I'm sorry, but when a guy like Draymond Green can become a bona fide superstar just because he's got a high basketball IQ and is a strong passer....

                                                                  Good to know the last 2 nights were just an illusion and this is the reality of my season. I can basically guarantee the Blazers will lose by 15 now.

                                                                    And I could've gotten +1.5 last night and won. But of course.

                                                                    And yes, I realise in a way I'm fortunate to push but the way the season has gone it's impossible to put things in a positive light. I swear I'm so so fukking sick of this shit there's no words to even describe it.

                                                                    A point here and a point there and it's a great night and we're talking about 3 winning nights in a row and potentially a really good run coming. But shit happens on all 3 games and we're looking at a night that's probably going to result in losing everything I won in the last 2 days and more, as well as destroying any confidence and momentum I was starting to build.



                                                                    Oh, and Portland have zero chance to cover. Zero. No point in even watching the game. I know how "these nights" go.
