Yawn. That was too easy. Free money right there. Hopefully the Suns-Warriors game has a really easy line at halftime as well.

Current total: $17.85
Current Record: 1-0

**Stinger** · 12-02-10, 11:04 PM

Good luck!

**Kobe** · 12-03-10, 12:01 AM

$5.00 on 2nd half Phoenix +4 to win $4.00. Not very confident about this, but hopefully I get lucky.

**Kobe** · 12-03-10, 01:16 AM

Sweet, another win. Slowly, but surely I'll build this back up.

Current Total: $21.85
Current Record: 2-0

**Kobe** · 12-03-10, 08:44 PM

$5.00 on Atlanta -5.5 2nd half to win $4.55.

**JOHON8** · 12-03-10, 09:04 PM

See why you should have saved your money instead of going all in? Imagine how much money you could've made betting more descent amounts on these lines.

Next time keep your composure, otherwise the books win.

**Kobe** · 12-03-10, 09:06 PM

I'll chalk this up as a loss...

Current Total: $16.85
Current Record: 2-1

**Kobe** · 12-03-10, 09:59 PM

*fist pumps*

Hell yeah!!! The jinx worked.

Current Total: $26.40
Current Record: 3-0

**Kobe** · 12-03-10, 10:26 PM

$6.40 on Dallas +4 to win $6.10
also $3.00 on Washington State +4 to win $2.50

**Kobe** · 12-04-10, 11:18 AM

Time for a little college football: $7.50 on Oregon -17 to win $6.82

Current Total: $29.50
Current Record: 4-1

**Kobe** · 12-04-10, 08:38 PM

Damn. Should have won that last one. Just made an impulse bet on Orlando +5.

Current Total: $29.15
Current Record: 4-1-1

**Kobe** · 12-04-10, 11:23 PM

LOL, probably should have checked on Howard being out before I made that bet... Oh well, it was just $5. I put a $15 bet on San Diego State -5.5 second half.

**Kobe** · 12-05-10, 12:13 AM

Alright!!! Back on track. Maybe I should stick to second halves, those lines seem a lot easier to me for some reason.

Current Total: $38.14
Current Record: 5-2-1

**Kobe** · 12-05-10, 02:22 PM

$5.01 on the Knicks +3 at halftime. This bet is nothing more than a "heat check" if you will. Like if Kobe hit 3 shots in a row then decides to take one from five feet behind the three point line to see if he is "on."

**Kobe** · 12-05-10, 03:27 PM

I'm officially in the zone. Those second half lines are so easy. Gonna make a small bet on one of the afternoon NFL games (edit: put $10.00 on Dallas Cowboys +6). I really wish I didn't waste all my money on that damn Lakers game. I'd really be makin some profit.

Current Total: $42.69
Current Recrd: 6-2-1

**Kobe** · 12-05-10, 07:43 PM

On fire!!!

Just made a $6.21 impulse wager on Phoenix Suns -4.5 first half.

Based on the current score of the Spurs-Hornets game, I will probably take the Spurs at the half depending on what the line is. Also will probably make a bet on the evening NFL game.

Current Total: $52.21
Current Record: 7-2-1

(Edit: decided to stay away from both those games, was leaning towards Baltimore -3, but I have absolutely no idea about the Spurs-Hornets second half, could easily see it going either way)

**Kobe** · 12-05-10, 09:24 PM

What a stupid bet by me. Here is to the second half though. I gots to make up for my loss...$7.14 on Suns -4.5 second half to win $6.21.

**ttwarrior1** · 12-05-10, 09:34 PM

just pick who i pick, fade it, you'll become rich

**iloseagain** · 12-05-10, 10:24 PM

clippers -3 2H

**Kobe** · 12-05-10, 10:58 PM

I'm a master at second halfs. What does that make me? 7-0? Can't mess with perfection. I probably would have made a play on the Blazers/Clips at the half but alas I was out shopping. Anyways, onward and upward. Tomorrow should bring me great fortune.

Current Total: $52.21
Current Record: 8-3-1

edit: nvm jus saw your post

**Kobe** · 12-06-10, 03:58 PM

Just put $10 on Jets +4, not liking any of the NBA lines right now. But I'm sure I will for some of the second halves.

**Kobe** · 12-06-10, 09:32 PM

Just went all in a little bit ago on a second half bet. What can I say? I know its a stupid move, but I'm just feelin it.

what was it?

**Kobe** · 12-06-10, 09:44 PM

The Miami-Milwaukee game. What side did I take? I'm not gonna say yet. But its a push right now.

**iloseagain** · 12-06-10, 10:00 PM

my line was mil -0.5 how could it be a push haha

**Kobe** · 12-06-10, 10:13 PM

I had Milwaukee -1/Heat +1

Update: Its back to a push. I'm not gonna lie. I scared.

**Kobe** · 12-06-10, 10:30 PM

You got to be kidding me. It ends in a ******* push. Jesus Christ. **** it. I'm all on the Kings +5. I don't give a shit anymore.

Wow. BOL. I wouldn't have went all in. You were moving along well.

**iloseagain** · 12-06-10, 10:53 PM

push better than a loss

**Kobe** · 12-06-10, 11:21 PM

If I somehow win this bet, I'm gonna take a few days off to regain my composure. I don't know what has gotten over me tonight.
