G is right there is no point of laying -300 or more on any sport unless your taking Nadal on clay.
But TB knows what she's doing (I think), I think she'll be back in the + money in a couple of weeks.

People should wager whichever way they think is appropriate. This system may seem off the charts for most of you, as TB stated in her first post, but obviously it has some merit as evident by her bankroll. It was one weekend of basketball folks. Let's do an analysis after Lebron snatches the trophy from Kobe in game 7.

I've been betting sports for over 15 years now and I've NEVER heard of anyone going 6-1 and losing 16+ units.
How is this possible if you have even the slightest idea of what the hell you're doing?

Just the thought of Nash taking another 2 seconds to move up the court before he shot should tell you something.... He knew exactly what he was doing...something he has done I am sure over 100 times in his career...
Thre was no more time to move forward TB!!!
TB I want you to win but the odds are more than stacked against you and betting 46 units to win 10 and losing should send out a warning signal...hopefully... You will have to learn to play the spread even if it is to the degree of buying points...GL...
Why don't you just close your pie hole and keep your opinions to yourself.....I have not seen one post by TB asking for your advice or anyone else's advice.
NO ON CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW, ESPECIALLY TB..........
Thank You

Does anyone here know what the term "negative expected value" means?

You are right on the money here.
Just trying to help TB, but may as well play the home teams minus the points as well.
All home teams who won also covered the line, except Magic i think.
I do something similar but am just buying down three points with the home teams, to avoid paying all that juice.
Fav's always cover early in the playoffs and the dogs will start to cover later on.

that should make u question taking cleveland -- not jump on them
