To top it off you took the crap-ass Clippers without Baron Davis against a Milwaukee team with a healthy Bogut and a little revenge on their minds who just happened to be almost 66% ATS after covering in their previous game.
Not going to break down the NIT, I also liked Ole Miss. Rhode Island-bad luck there, I had the Tarheels and feel mighty lucky to get that one.
Point I'm trying to make is there was absolutely no valid reason to throw money on any of your NBA picks. Simply looking at the overall ATS records for the teams you played and their opponents should have scared you off those plays. A little more digging (see above) would have uncovered some gems for you to lay money on and have a fighting chance to make some cash. Bucks and Thunder were the 2 best plays of the night and you (and many others) went against them. Winning at this game requires having an edge on your play. Without it your just flipping coins. Does the edge guarantee you a win? Of course not but it ups your odds tremendously. The NBA is the second easiest sport to win at (MLB #1, and many play this wrong also) yet I see many just betting blindly, throwing money away. Your gambling, you want to make $$$, start investing!
