Every time someone claims a massive bet, it loses most of the time.
The fact you say you'll go 2X on the next for the chase is even more disturbing.

He said 200X but lets assume he meant double for the sake of argument. IF Cleveland wins today the line for a home Cavs win will not be -1 but anywhere between -5.5 to -7.5 meaning in order to cover his previous loss he has to bet a ML of -275 to -375 so he will have to risk much more money to "double up".

Dam Smokey your betting too much on the enemy. A Laker fan wouldn't bet on the Celtics haha jp. Gl but I'm on the Cavs James is going to come out hard I predict a 12-14 point win by the Cavs. Also I don't get how you will chase with Cavs next game the line will be -8 -400. So your going to need more money if your going to get that 100X back.
You should just let it ride on Lakers money I say.

I'm amazed at the classless responses in this thread. It's his money, and it should go without saying that just because he's playing something extra strong, it doesn't mean anyone has to follow if they're not comfortable. If you disagree with the call, then don't play it. At least have the decency and keep the criticism to yourselves, and wish him luck. I'm sure you all would appreciate the same treatment if you were playing a game large.

What do you mean by games like this? Do you have any inside info that the rest of us don't have? is that why you always win on "games like this"
I would say BOL, but I'm on the other side, but for peanuts.

wow, just wow. you can't criticize or disagree. you can only praise and worship.
these subforums are specifically designed for the discussion of basketball, baseball whatever. if you can't voice an opinion, then why the fvck have the forums at all?
did you really think when he posted that play everyone on the site was going to stick their tongue up his ass?
it's got nothing to do with class. it's opinion. if you can't voice it close down the forums.
we can agree to disagree.

But keep in mind, he also has Cleveland quite large for the series win.
Actually, who gives a rats ass. It's his money and he made a $10k play on the Celtics. Considering half the damn forum was rooting for nobs when he was gambling his friggin rent money, you'd think people would be just a little more supportive for a guy who has proven he's not an actual clown and can afford to lose the bet should it happen.

Nono. You can disagree all you want. Just don't judge someone for playing a game strong with their own money. You can respectfully disagree with a play just as easily as bash the player (I'm not specifically attacking you with this comment). I'm all for constructive criticism and do recognize the difference.
I just see what's coming if the Celts lose tonight, with certain other posters already posturing in a very public position against this play (you know who I'm talking about) and will undoubtedly push that advantage if the Cavs can pull it out to help justify the "expertise" that he's already claimed and disappear if the play loses. I know LB will still be around tomorrow either way.

why not? you must know that this is going to happen regardless. isn't money mangement a big part of the game?
being able to afford or not afford a bet is meaningless. everything is relative. money management is not relative. it's an art and science unto itself and more than worthy of discussion.
if someone starts a new thread and says they are gong to make a 100x play, then you know for a fact people are going to discuss that till they're blue in the face. why should they not?

I'd say that on a daily basis far more reckless plays are made here (as a function of bankroll size) than this one. How is % of BR in play meaningless?

it's not. but many have already said that lb can afford the bet, so why criticize the size. my point is that being able to afford or not afford the bet should not enter into the equation.

my opinion.. I dont really have a side on the game yet.. BUT does the NBA really want a stop gap in action between today and the 17th??? my guess is no.. If the NBA is truly fixed Cavs are the play.. if not Boston is the play.

Betting within your limits is a fundamental of long term success. If we've established that the wager is within his limits, and he feels strongly enough about the play to warrant the size of the wager, then what exactly are you criticizing?

You're welcome!
There's a comma in there which translates to: Whenever someone claims to have a massive bet, most of the time it loses.
BTW I don't want anyone to lose their money, and its pathetic when someone loses a massive amount, some idiots here bump it up to make stupid comments.

Wow, that's cold. Think it's the accurate play though-LBJ seems completely off and pissed now with Cavs fans. His statements about "spoiling people with his plays" and "it's easy to pick on me when I have five bad games in years" don't instill confidence. Good luck and I think I'll tail you depending on my MLB stuff. Best of luck as always

Not worship. Respect.
If Celts win I'll give him my 2 points I promised, and Ask where He gets his "inside info" because he stated he doesn't lose these types of games. If Cavs win, good for them.
I still want to know why you shouldn't fade him on this play. And why he would state that he doesn't lose these types of bets. What knowledge does he have that the rest of us don't have 24 hours before gametime?

None. Just going with a hunch. Good luck on the cavs play brother.
