im just waiting to see him throw up a 50 unit bomb on the lakers ML so i can cancel my bet and go all in.

all i ever see are 1x player props from the man with the texas sized ego.

I only bet a few props this whole year. Go check my thread son. Still mocking Lakers?

you're a weird maniac. classy as well.

i think what you forget sometimes is that many of us are betting large sums of money on these games while you're pitching nickels with your odd bets. too bad you werent sharp enough to take the lakers tonight.

no need to get mad dexter. my only real bet on this series was game 1 where i cleaned up for $1200. there will be plenty more chances to get money.

all i said was you need to think about Boston -3 some more there is no reason to attack me. If you don't think my opinion is valuable then just disregard it.

Yes I am very disgusted that I didn't take LA today but a win for Kobe is satisfaction enough for me.

Nice call on the under, DEX. + day -- that's all you can ask for.

this was telling me i need to rethink boston game 3? you have a funny way of saying things. sweetjones disagreed with my play in a constructive way.

i don't "rethink" my bets when you or anyone makes a comment. i live and die by my own plays and opinions.

you felt strongly enough to mock my play yet you made no money on the game - i find that amusing.

its ok though - i went 5-0 in baseball and my under for 6 units made me only lose 1.5x on this game. im good.

counting the baseball yes. nba i lost 1.5 units b/c i took the ML. was warned by LB and SweetJones. i may rethink that strategy going forward. i dont like laying 150. maybe in a series where 2 teams always play super close games. not again this series.

**ragiche** · 06-09-10, 06:09 AM

You'll get 'em in the next game.

I don't think laying 150 is always a bad idea but against the Lakers coming off a home loss I wouldn't do it since LA is more than likely going to win the very close games. Get em back next game.

i have no pulse on picking sides in this series so will likely just focus on the total in game 4. my gut tells me boston is done.

Stick with the totals if you want but i say as long as la is getting points you keep taking them. They are gonna win one more in Boston and IMO that will be the next game because they wont let boston off the mat now. I know Allen had a shitty game but Garnett isnt going to have another game like that so Allen's game evens out with Garnett being on fire. Pierce had good looks early but just simply missed. Dont forget Gasol only had 13 points and Kobe was 10-29. I expect them to improve. Boston is lucky they arent down 3-0.

sayin gyour too much in 2008 mode is MOCKING your play? i said something subtlely to try and show you I thought LA would win game 3 because remember the last time I was constructive? I said "Portland is gonna lose game 3" and I did 1 more of those and both of my plays were winners and you got pissed at me for some reason.

there's nothing wrong with me stating my opinion to you either. I'm happy you did well in bases but I know more about basketball than you and that is that so i'm not going to argue with you my man. Just keep fading my ass like you were at the beginning of the playoffs when you and shoebox were makin fun of me

Make sure you let me know how it goes too

lmao - you know more then basketballl about me? haha - thats funny. i know more then enough about the nba chief.

me and shoebox were making fun of you "fading your ass"? what the fuk are you talking about? i dont even read your posts cause they're scattered among different threads. please give me a link where i made fun of your opinion/plays. thats not my style. i dont questions others plays. you do that cause you're a know it all - and im not the only member who thinks that of you.

picking winners when no money is on the line is a lot easier then when you're in a hole facing paying the book. great call on the lakers last night, but again - id like to see your resullts when you actually play these games and have to deal with real money.

you need to chill out - thanks for the ticket advice and all, but you are kinda wacky with these comments.

1. If you took the time to check my thread you would see that I had over 1k on game 1 and over 8x on game 2. I also was playing every game in the playoffs in the conference finals for about 3x +. I think you will be able to find my results there. But I didn't play this one last night.

2. You really believe you know more about the NBA than me? I am very curious to hear your answer here Dexter............

what is wrong with you? do you want to take an nba iq test with me? i know all players/teams inside out in the nba. i had the nba ticket and have been a die hard nba fan since i was 13. i really could care less if you have more knowledge or not. that equates to nothing in the world of sports gambling.

please feel free to post the link where i mocked your plays or was fading you. i would love to see this.

you love these cyberspace arguments - ive seen you recently talk shit to jjgold, venditto etc. the only people i ever get into it with are touts - you on the other hand are always arguing with someone.

i'm not interested in conversing with you.

**lyon804** · 06-09-10, 09:46 AM

Goat, we get it bro. No need to get into a pissing match with everybody here about you know more than everybody here. Just go about your business. You seem to have away about yourself that seems to incite everybody you come across. Fortunately, I haven't had any negative exchanges with you but this is a pattern with you amongst many here. You will gain more respect from the other members here by simply making your picks know before the game and doing your knowledgeable writeups. No need to constantly shove it down other's throats that you know more.

**Dexter** · 06-09-10, 09:50 AM

Game 4:

(4x) under celtics 191

Lyon it has nothin to do with respect. You very well know that everyone on this forum hates me and I don't like a lot of the people. WHen people talk out of their ass I correct them, simple as that. If you try and tell me you know more about somethin then me and you don't I will slap you back into reality.

BTW Dexter, JJGold and Venditto are the biggest morons on the forum.

See that bolded part doesn't even make sense. i'm not goin to argue with you Dexter. i have responded to your comments appropriately

you're so transparent - i actually feel bad for you.

you will "slap people back into reality" - in cyberspace? wow - you're a real man goat.

so much hate and anger from you. cheer up. life cant be that bad bro.

life is great. you know what i meant dexter. i'm just blunt with my words. not angry. i just type something the way i would say it in real life. i don't know why you have the jj gold and venditto part bolded. they are garbage.

it makes all the sense in the world. having knowledge of a sport has little to do with being able to do well at sports gambling. and im someone who knows all players teams in the nba/mlb and nfl.

LB is arguably the best nba capper here and he admits he cant go too deep into rosters.

what makes a solid capper is who can deal with the downswings during the season. with no money on a game its a lot easier to pick the sharp side. how will one react when they are in a hole come sunday night having a 1k balance due the next week? will they take the sharp side or just take the square bet that "should win".

Look goat it was just a suggestion. If you don't care that's fine. There is no reason for everybody here to hate you. I am gulity of my own spats with posters here but I make it a point to be friends with other knowledeable people here. I consider you very knowledgeable about the game of basketball. In my experience it is best to use this forum as an asset. Why else be here? I have learned many valuable lessons here about gaming in general and a vast array of other things from several here. I consider you matchup knowledge of the game very valuable.I will be the first to admit my NBA basketball knowledge is not on the level of you, but at the same time there is a ton you probably can learn from me and others here. All I am trying to say is we all have different talents and nobody here is disputing or discrediting your knowledge. I know if I had a particualr matchup question or the particular game plan a team might employ in a game I would come to you first. You have alot to offer the forum and I would like to see if you could exist more in harmony in the sub forums with other members trying to learn and make money. I'd be the first to admit I consider myself above average in what I do but by no means do I have all the answers. When I have a question on anything in particular I know were to go to get my answers from the relationships I have developed here with other knowledgeable people. I know were your strenghths lie and I wouldn't hesitate coming to you for anything. Again, you have alot to offer and it would be a waste to let your true talents be masked by continually getting into a pissing match with the other members of the sub forum's. Now, if you feel the need to blow off steam and talk shit the players talk forum would be more appropriate for that. That forum is full of losers and degens but for the most part here others are trying to get better each day.

**Goat Milk** · 06-09-10, 10:20 AM

Dexter have you read some of my posts on this forum bro specifically about this finals series? You think its just about knowing the rosters/history?

I have Phil's gameplan step by step in my palm bro. When you study and play ball your whole life and as an NBA capper I watch film and diagnose matchups, then yes, having knowledge of basketball will make you a successful capper. Line movement and money are only a very very small part of my analysis.

Why then have I hit over 60 percent this year over 100 plays in the playoffs? thats not even a good record in my opinion. your record/money you make from having this kind of nba knowledge can never be exceeded by any line movement/fix factor knowledge. all that can be learned. having nba knowledge cannot be taught

**Goat Milk** · 06-09-10, 10:25 AM

ok Lyon Dexter you know I am not here to make enemies with you two of all people.

you guys should know by now that i'm not good at this over the internet thing so sometimes i will say something and it looks bad but i'm just being constructive and trying to help out people that i actually care about.

lets just move on to picking a game 4 winner

Cool! I know that goat, but it's still hard to read you sometimes. We all appreciate what you bring to the table. I have learned things from reading your writeups. I actually read your Finals writeup and it was scary how spot on you were with it. I would doubt anybody here can rival your overall NBA knowledge. I hope for you to be around doing your thing next season as well. I appreciate your knowledge and I plan on emplementing more of it next season as well. I see you for who you really are but many others here can't because the way you come off sometimes can easily mask what your really about. I know your smart and I also know you can come off a little more PC if you want to. You may or may not care about that but is would be a waste for others not to benefit from what you know. Again, I for one appreciate you being here and I think you could be the benchmark in this forum for what you know. I look forward to next season and I hope you have your own thread going from start to finish and anytime you could provide a writeup for your picks it would help many here learn other things that you know. It's not always about picking winners. You may have a game pegged to a tee and made the right call but it turned out wrong. Doesn't matter we can still learn something from it.
