    Paying that high of juice on big ML favorites is a no-no. No reason to risk $100 on INDI ML to only win like $20.

    Either way good luck, but you'll realize soon that playing high ML's will eventually hurt your bankroll bad.

    On my most recent post I bet 40 to win 76.

    Regardless, I don't consistently bet bit ml's. But do I tend to when it's playoff crunch time? Absolutely... And I would encourage everyone to.

    Keep on rollin'

    Not bad yesterday... Lost one because the Rangers blew a good lead late in the game. On to the next:

    NBA:
    Heat (on my book they are +1.5) MoneyLine
    Spurs MoneyLine


    I'd take the spread if it were bigger but there's no sense in +1.5. But I really do believe you should bet on the Heat. I do not feel the Bulls can match their hunger for a win tonight.

    Record: 9-2

    Yesterday would have been very lucrative but the Caps indeed disappointed...

    Don't really like a lot of matchups today so I'm only backing one bet.

    NBA:
    Pacers +3

    It was +4.5 earlier and I'm kicking myself for not catching it then but I still think they will cover. Philly is horrid... Not even sure why they are favored.

    Record: 13-4

    For today:

    NBA:
    Pistons +9

    Don't think the Pistons pull out a win but they tend to play Atlanta close.

    NHL:
    Pens MoneyLine

    Pens need it. I know the Philly staff is scoring out of control on Fleury but Pens were the regular season scoring champs and have their backs against the wall. They lose the series but take tonight in South Philly.

    MLB:
    Yankees +1.5

    Let's face it... Marquis is going to get lit up. The over/under has 10 runs. If Kuroda shows up for the Yanks this is locked.

    Record: 14-4

    If you are betting heavy juice a record of 14-4 means nothing without some kind of unit measurement.

    14-4 means I've picked 14 games correct, and 4 games incorrect. I rarely do parlays and bet on everything separate. More of a patient, small time gambler who cashes out a couple thousand over the course of a year. I'll put $5 here, $10 there... last night I put $80 on the Pacers.

    I'm picking the games I feel strongly about and it's working out well so far. If people want to follow me they can decide themselves how much to wager.

    Not such a good day yesterday... Let's bounce back shall we??

    NBA:
    Heat MoneyLine
    Pacers -5.5

    Lebron is rolling... The Heat are looking to run up this score.

    NHL:
    Caps MoneyLine

    I'm taking the back-against-the-wall approach like I did yesterday with the PENS. They are without Backstrom which is huge... but let's take into account the Caps have a winning record against the Bruins, and they need this home win before it goes back to Boston. They come out to play tonite.

    Record: 15-6

    Well that was a nice bounce back. Today is easy:

    NBA:
    Memphis -13.5

    They are going to win by 30.

    Well Memphis dropped the ball... Probably the last time I bet on them. For today:

    NBA:
    Pacers -4.5

    Their play still has playoff implications and it's against struggling Philly.

    Think I'll give the NBA a break until playoffs... Tough time in the season to make money on them.

    NHL:
    Penguins MoneyLine

    MLB:
    Rangers MoneyLine

    Parlayed these.

    Over / under this thread gets to 20 pages before jgold quits? 15 pages?

    Just teasing. I notice a lot of these threads pop up though and the poster usually will quit once the hot streak ends.

    Good luck mate =).

    April 23rd:

    NBA:
    Wizards -8.5
    Cavaliers +13

    Wiz have been playin good ball to finish the season and Charlotte... Has not. Cavs cover the spread against Memphis as weve seen anyone can. Ha.

    MLB:
    Yankees MoneyLine

    The price is too good to pass up. +125. Yeah, it's the Rangers but CC is on the mound for the Bronx against Holland who has never beat the Yanks. Plus, NY's bats are hot!

    For April 24th:

    NBA:
    Clippers +2.0

    This will be a popular bet. The Clippers still have standings on the line against the Lakers for this game while Atlanta has already solidified their position for post season. I wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta sits the hot shots and the Clippers run away with this one.

    MLB:
    Red Sox MoneyLine
    Rangers MoneyLine


    Parlayed the MLB bet. No way in the world do the Twins get past Beckett and the Yankees bats are finally going to quiet down against Yu Darvish.

    BOL!

    Well... I think I'm gonna move this thread over to the MLB forum as that will now be my primary focus with my bets as I don't see myself doing much with playoff basketball. Though I did put a little bit on the Spurs to win the championship... Caught them at +425. There are some great teams in the race but the Spurs are playing the best ball in my opinion.

    See you basketball nuts back here next season and BOL to everyone!
