    There are meltdowns, and then there's the Pelicans

    Holy shit. Up 14 at half, and even up 85-81 with a minute and change left. Now somehow down 89-85.

    Oh how I missed these types of games.

    Typical NBA. I don't even bother looking too much into the scores before halftime. Just look at the Knicks or Twolves tonight.

    You've bet the NBA long enough to know that a 14 pt halftime lead is nothing. That's literally 6 buckets. Good teams can erase a deficit like that within 4 minutes, especially against a below average team like the Pelicans. Up 85-81 you shouldn't be counting your money. That's a 2 possession game. That's nothing in the NBA. College will be better for you.

    You must literally pay zero attention to my threads. Either that, or you're just blatantly stupid and ignorant, which is probably more the case.

    I'm up nearly 100 units in posted NBA plays over the last three seasons. College hoops, I'm in the red over the same stretch.

    Somehow, I know how to find these kinds of games. Or should I say, they find me.

    I pretty much expect the huge swings now.

    You really only need to watch the last 5 minutes. Do something else the first three quarters so you don't take years off of your life.

    If I had taken New Orleans at -1 or -1.5, I'd accept the loss and move on.

    It's getting them at +2.5 two days ago and seeing them close at -1.5 that pisses me off.

    That's a tough number to cover on though if they don't cover the -1.

    Typical young team and not knowing how to win/close out games yet. Keep an eye out on this team though. Will be $$$ ATS this year.

    Is it just me or does it seem like everytime a team starts at like +2 and the line crosses over to like -2 in their favor they lose straight up?

    Didn't this same thing happen with the Kings tonight? Does that mean the Kings lose straight up?

    In college hoops taking home dogs that are +2 has been money for me as long as I can remember. Maybe this is a similar strategy we could look into.

    Used to be basically a guaranteed winner.

    Now it's basically a guaranteed loser.

    i feel like the line moves matter less in games that cross zero or are near zero, the better teams find ways to win, i dont really got anything to support this but ive been noticing this a lot.
