Sexymit...

I am glad that you now have a chance to see what I go through on a daily basis, being as high profile as you can get online. See in this game despite everything that we are telling people to do they are getting comfortable with winning and then they start putting more than they should on a wager that we are wrong on and then taking their frustrations out on us.

They will forget about how you helped to build the bankroll up in the first place, and then they wil turn on you and try to make you feel as if you don't know what you are doing.

Now I'll bet you that if you were on any thread other than this one and you had gone 22-10 people would be carrying you throughout the stadium. But on this particular thread YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY KIND OF LOSING STREAK. Because if we do then you will really see what it's like to be me for a couple of days. And you don't want that. They all know your name when you're winning, but what about when we lose. I want a name when I lose.

I know of a song that I want played at my funeral that is by Steely Dan. If you could walk in my shoes for one day you would understand the words so much better. Sexymit I think that you should listen to this song to get a new sense of what we're up against now and during football season.

The song is called "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan. It is the story of my life as an adult.

Come on CK/SM, you act like these people are putting a gun to your head. You don't have it that bad. You know to expect some sore losers whenever you miss on a play, get over it. Forget about those idiots. Show them what you're made of tommrow.

**cocknocker** · 07-04-09, 11:08 AM

I feel ya sweetjones, I am really just trying to make sure that Sexymit doesn't go off the deep end on someone, because I can see it coming, lol! I'm more than used to the attention both negative or positive. It comes with the territory. We made the right call despite the result. The Sky will get it done in their next game. No team likes to get shallacked like that. Look at how Atlanta responded beating Washington. Atlanta is garbage to be sure, and the shots that they take need luck to go in.

Now could I interest you in some CFL football? There's a big play in the works for next week. Man I love wagering on football!

**sweetjones55** · 07-04-09, 11:20 AM

Shock+3.5/Sun-3.5 145 O/U
Dream+8/Fever-8 147 O/U

**chuckfla72** · 07-04-09, 11:27 AM

ck and sexy are great cappers and everybody makes some wrong picks (that is why it called gambling) but if youhave been following the whole time and keep betting your untis in comparison with your own bankroll, whatever they may be, you should be up hella money. Good job guys keep it rollin! You have helped me become a better capper in my own right when I bet on other sports.

**pho3nix32** · 07-04-09, 11:30 AM

line: pho@las 171
pick: 171 under

Three words in the minds of the Sparks..."home sweet home". After another woeful road performance they come home to face the high-scoring Mercury. LA will have Parker back for the first time from her maternity leave. Expect some minute mixing for the Sparks which will certainly affect their offensive output but you can count on the defensive intensity to still be there. The under for the Sparks is 8-2 in their last 10 home games. The total for this game is actually a toss-up but seeing how LA plays at home, I'm riding their defense tomorrow.

**cocknocker** · 07-04-09, 11:37 AM

Time to look ahead to Sunday now...

Opening line for LVSC

Phoenix+3.5
Sparks-3.5 o/u 173

Now

Phoenix+6
Sparks-6 o/u 169 Phoenix 56% LA 44% (Serious RLM)

Sexymit has dragged me off of the Sparks. Candace is coming back and that means minute mixing, chemistry problems, etc. I would have a hard time fading the Sparks with such a horrid record. The only way that they can go is up. With a home ats record of 16-5 and running, and a road loss to the Mercury already this year, I can't fade them. Phoenix has their own problems to deal with as Tarausi got caught driving while pickled. With so many side features to this game it would be hard to figure out a side. Just like always when there is confusion on a game I react by taking the under. And why not? Phoenix and the Sparks went over the total in thier last game, but look at this:

Sparks are 8-2-1 for the under in their last 11 home games. The Sparks are on a 4-0-1 streak for the under. This game is being played in LA. The under is 2-0 in the last two games in LA between these teams. Phoenix barely cashed the over in their last game by 1 f*ckin' point.

My pick Sparks/Mercury under 169

Opening line at LVSC

Connecticut+2
Detroit-2 o/u 146

Now

Connecticut+3
Detroit-3 o/u 145 consensus Detroit 62% Connecticut 38%

In this matchup, I really like Connecticut, but I have sworn to not play Detroit on the sides this year, rather I will wait for them to lose and then fade the teams that beat them the following game. The appropriate call is the Sun on this one, but plans should never be broken no matter how sweet it looks. I really like the under in this game tough and it has fallen a point already.

My pick: under 145

Opening line at LVSC

Atlanta+8
Indiana-8 o/u 154

Now

Atlanta+8
Indiana-8 o/u 147

Without even going into it too much. I actually think the drop on the total is warranted in this circumstance. Indiana is a good defensive team an Atlanta takes horrible shots, last in the league in three pointers made and %. The Dreamers are coming off of a big win over Washington and now have to do th travel thing. Not good. They will get lambasted by the Feverwho are well on their way to winning the title this year in my opinion. I know that this is off the subject but, Tammy Sutton Brown is fine and thick and hella tall. In street clothes she is the BOMB.

My pick: Atlanta/Indiana under 147

In other words, Sexymit, I think that this is another day where we can actually take all of the unders blindly and still come ut on top either 2-1 or 3-0. The only game that looks iffy on the total is the Detroit/Connecticut game because of how bad the Sun shot the ball in their last game. Usually the lowest total is the one that will go over on days when I do this.

As always Sexymit, get back to me and let me know which game(s) you like. Our unit measure is once again $250.00 so bear that in mind whn making the selection(s)

My strongest pick is the Sparks/Mercury under

Dating Tip

How to get rid of pre date jitters or nervousness. Nervousness is caused when one either feels embarrassed or tense. In order to get rid of these types of conditions one must have an idea that it would be best to get rid of these issues prior to the event, sort of like football or basketball players getting their heads together prior to a big game.

First of all you can do this either at home or in a parking lot. But you must be still.

Secondly you will need a chair.

I recommend that you do it when you are already dressed for the occasion. If you are at home then leave your shoes off.

Okay sit on the edge of the chair an place your hands faced down on your thighs. Close your eyes. If you have a radio handy I suggest that you turn it to a classical station. Silence also works just fine. Take the finger next to your thumb on either hand and firmly push the nostril on whatever side you start on flat against your face. Holding this position breathe in and hold it for a count of 10 by 1000's (1001, 1002, 1003 and so on) then exhale SLOWLY through your mouth still holding the nostril closed. After you have finished exhaling, then flatten the other nostril and repeat on the other side. You are to do this on each side 10 times.

You will notice that your shoulders will instantly be free of tenseness immediately, which will help you walk with your chin up because there won't be any stressors holding back your sense of pride. This exercise sounds easy and I have found that most people who try it aren't able to complete the exercise in it's entirity for a variety of reasons. It will take you only 15 minutes or so. But during that 15 minutes the world will cease to matter and you will get the correct essence to handle yourself when the event is upon you.

Everything is about breathing. Once you control your breathing you will be much sharper when dealng with situations that call for you to encounter other people and have to engage them in conversation. Your hands will be dry, your mind will be at ease,and you have already released all of the toxins out of your body through bondaced breathing.

Remember this exercise sounds easy to complete but it is not. Some people will create their own distractions in their mind and will not get the results they would if they would just be patient and finish the exercise.

That is all. We now will return to your regularly shceduled programming already in progress

Tanks Ck

**cocknocker** · 07-04-09, 12:01 PM

It WILL work, gilbert. It removes all of the toxins and nervous energy from the body and you can do it on your own! All that it requires is 15 minutes of quiet time a day. It will even help to keep you from strangling your boss!

I guess I was a little tired yesterday! It ususally doesn't bother me when people say anything! I know and you know and everyone know we are good at this and we know are shit. We bust our ass for you guys to make money, I guess I was just upset with how ungreatful some of these guys are that we don't get paid anything to discuss on here and post our plays for you guys to make money on our plays!

I can't help it that you have won lots of money with our plays and you decide to use poor money management and get cocky and lose alot more then you should have! I enjoy doing this and don't have a problem with it. We are not perfect, NOONE is! Now on to Sunday lets make some more money!

In the words of CK

Now back to your regularly scheduled program already in progress!

**RoagBettor** · 07-04-09, 12:26 PM

I wouldn't even respond to the idiots. Those who have even half a brain get it and appreciate it.

Money Management - say it over and over and over again.

**Savage0765** · 07-04-09, 12:37 PM

ALL IN on the........ Money management.

**HighVoltage** · 07-04-09, 01:38 PM

Hey Ck,

"They call Alabama the crimson tide". Great song! Keep up the great work!

Ditto to money management!

**gilbert91016** · 07-04-09, 02:27 PM

not a lot of posting today... is everyone gone out seeing there is no games tonight, or are they waiting in the bush ready to pounce on the 3000th post...

**JayJay2** · 07-04-09, 03:39 PM

I think the mods should clean this thread from offtopic, and we can start a race to post nr #50 instead

**Phillth** · 07-04-09, 05:00 PM

If the sparks fans have any brains all they have to do to secure this game is chant D.U.I everytime turasi gets the ball. this one should be sloppy. has under writen all over it.

Great thread, great picks and analysis, and love the dating tips... A job well done by the significant contributers...

... my only beef: as soon as we pass 3000 posts, there will be 500 posts about "race to 4000"..... lol..

**RoagBettor** · 07-04-09, 05:16 PM

2,000 was the most important post of this thread. Every other number is irrelevant!

**IfDntmk$itDntmkc** · 07-04-09, 05:31 PM

CK and Sexmit you guys are the shizzle. Keep your heads high and the picks a coming. If people can't stand to lose then hang it up. People forget their is a reason there are big hotels in Vegas. If they don't like your picks then don't tail.

I would say 65-75% success rate will provide us all a great wind fall if we use proper money management.

Thanks for the picks and have a Happy 4th.

Like when LA fans chanted D.U.I. at Carmelo lol.

But the LA Sparks should win tomorrow. Phoenix are 1-3 on the road, the only road win against a team I heard who plays no defense Washington. The LA Sparks are 3-0 at home beating some pretty impressive teams. If the LA Sparks plays really tight defense this could get really ugly because Phoenix is a jump shooting team. And Phoenix really has no low post inside game. LA Sparks should destroy them inside the pain like Seattle did IN Seattle. And to top it off Candice Parker will be playing THE REINING MVP! Candice will only make that team better. And the Sparks really don't have any team chemistry right now, they've just been feeding off of home court momentum. And Indiana Fever winning over Atlanta is a free chicken dinner.

Excellent song. I heard it the first time on a cross country roadie, and it stuck with me. I bought it in the next town. Song fits me to a "T"

Guys are trying to time it just right. My guess is that it will happen tonight sometime around 11:00 or so.

**sweetjones55** · 07-04-09, 07:27 PM

Some 1st half info on the Sparks/Mercury matchup tommrow

Mercury are 2-2 on the road in the 1st half
LA sparks are 3-0 @ home in the 1st half (Wins by 22, 18, and 11... Average win margin of 17)
Sparks and Mercury were tied 43-43 @ half in their one matchup this year (Sparks covered the spread 1st half). The Sparks were leading the majority of the 2nd half but gave up a 13point run in the 4th and eventually lost by 9. Score doesn't reflect the closeness of their 1st game.

Some other interesting tidbits... On the road the Mercury average 18.3 turnovers which is good for 2nd in the league. The Sparks defense has gotten better the last couple of games, allowing 55, 67, and 45 points, which doesn't bode well for a turnover-plagued team. Candace Parker dunked in practice this week so you know her feet are under her. Joe Public is split 50/50 on this game.

Taurasi's head is not in the right place and the Sparks will be energized with their star back. I like Sparks 1st half -3 (projected) , team total under for the Mercury 82 (projected), Under game 169.

**RoagBettor** · 07-04-09, 08:07 PM

No one is around today. #3000 won't happen until tomorrow morning sometime.

**sweetjones55** · 07-04-09, 08:08 PM

Someone is going to be drunk tonight, think no one is on here, and go for it. No doubt about it.

Hi guys, ive been following the ck threads for a while now and have learnt alot about how to bet smart.
Im from Australia and our code is AFL (Australian Football League) and i have been applying some of cks techniques with good success so i thought i would share a tip for this week if anyone is interested!
This week im on Melbourne Demons +5.5 against West Coast Eagles. Melbourne are the NBA equivalent of the Clippers..they just plain suck!
Their lines are usually +20 at a minimum and against good sides go right up to +60!
West Coast are an average team but they are coming off a great match beating the reigning premiers (also works in with cks 'fade the team who beats the champs')
The line has come in to +3.5 on the back of the news that Melbournes president, who is the heart and soul of the club, has been diagnosed with cancer, with the belief they will lift for their man. The original line though was put up before this was known.
We dont have a consensus of what the public is betting, however there are stats to show what team the public is picking head to head. Of the 22,00 tips entered, 76% are on West Coast. That number would be higher had it not been for the reasoning mentioned above. (5.5pts is as good as a pick em')
With West Coast being a poor travelling team i am riding with Melbourne Demons +5.5!

Melbourne wins by 20!!!!

Also just thought id point out, i know this is a WNBA thread (which ive been making some good coin from thanks CK and Sexymit), but CK advised me to post my tip in this thread.

**cnleaf** · 07-04-09, 09:23 PM

**RoagBettor** · 07-04-09, 10:35 PM

It's just a number. It's meaningless in the grand scheme of things. As I said earlier, #2000 is the most important one and nothing can top it.

**SexyMit** · 07-04-09, 10:38 PM

It will slowly get there tonight while everyone sleeps and finishes getting drunk today!
