Why would you put up a bluebook 7.8k car for 6.5k?
You're losing 1.3k right there. What do you think you can actually get for the car for resale?
hes layin 20cent juice , I SAY ORLANDO-3- , or 4 GL.

"I have this game capped at Orlando -8" ..... Please tell me the logic behind this. You say your a capper so how did you get this number?
Cappers on this site are more common than sports talk radio callers living in their mommas basement.

The analysis was in my first post. Won $6500 tonight. I'm betting the Suns for $300 tomorrow.

Hey bro, congrats on the win. I'm gonna have to beg to differ with tomorrow's pick and go with the Lakers.
However, I'm wondering if I should hedge with Phoenix or not. I invested a bunch of money into Lakers Western Conference champs money (futures) a couple months ago, and now's my chance to potentially hedge....

Congrats man. I hope you weren't bullshitting us and you actually did win $6,500. That's a lot of money for a guy who normally bets $300 a game.

Might be a good time to hedge as the Lakers don't look so mighty after the last few games. The zone is really affecting them and the subs for Phoenix are outplaying the Lakers bench recently. I'm sure there will be a momentum shift at some point in this game tonight, but if the Suns hang around they could potentially pull the upset. My problem backing the Lakers at this number is they will need to shoot 48%+ from behind the arc against this zone to cover the impost. I personally don't like those odds.
Good Luck!

Your damn right it's a lot of money! That's why I put up my car against it as I own it outright and have another car to boot. No bullshit my friend, I started this post because I wanted to get great feedback and opinions on my bet. I evaluated all the information along with my original assessment, and pulled the trigger. I can tell you that it was the most stressful game I have ever watched and 10 beers didn't even calm me down!
My bookie text me this morning and said he will need 2 weeks to pay off the debt and he will be giving me $2,000 today!

That's ridiculous, what the hell kind of bookie can't pay off $6,500. What are you guys in high school, or is the "bookie" from that Seinfeld episode. If you lost, were you going to give him 1/4 of the car this week, then 3/4 the next. Sorry, but here in the NY/NJ area, no bookie accepts cars, and no bookie gets away with any type of payment plan. Plus, our payoff/outs are either Monday morning or Tuesday morning {for MNF double or nothing degenerates} why is he mucking the books on Thursday?

Thinking this is all BS.
The kind of bookie I play basketball with 3 times a week at the Y and drink beers with after work my friend. Small time here, he typically doesn't take bets over 1K. It's not a business for him, just likes taking action from a small group of friends and we pay up when one of us is up $300, whether it be a Monday, Friday, or Saturday. No, not the big business bookies like you have in NY, but we have fun, and that's all that matters.
