I got lucky here I guess. Felt like a winner ended up being a push 1-0-1 for first half. ****, did this feel like a winner. Oh well.

people must bet sbr points on this forum. Attention whore threads like Lakerboys, and threads with chronic losers get the most views. If I posted a screenshot of my checking account balance(with a date and a middle finger =p) it would make all of these attention whore threads cry.

5dimes is a bastard con artist when it comes to live in play =p(but I still rec. them =p if you want better live play nat. tv options and don't have bet365); but I think all bookies are my enemy so *shrug*. But most of the time, at least they keep it fair. I didn't expect them to put up a team total for the game with less than 6 minutes to go in the 2nd qrtr but they did.

OKC 57.5 o/u and Lakers o/u 49. Bah should have known Lakers would not hit 50 in a half(how many times did they score 50 in the Nuggets 1st half?). Oh wells it is what it is. Total for both 106.5 in that promo also.

H1Cypher · 05-14-12, 10:09 PM

Suck on your lip some more Mike Brown. Lol, I said to myself sometime during the 2nd half. Oh shit this looks like when the Celtics won the championship vs my Lakers dropping 20 point leads on em in a game. Remember when Celtics won their first and only championship with KG?

I distinctly remember 1 game where Lakers had a 20 point lead in the 1st half but lost the game by double digits. Fuckin lakers man, Fakers is the perfect name for this team.

Doubtful I will bet anything this early in the 3rd.

I made this bet thinking the bench would shoot jumper and not make enough to hit this total. I wasn't entirely incorrect. **** Cole Alrich the garbage offense rebound dunker. Those put back dunks he had fuckin killed me. I hope this 7 foot giant dies a painful death for jumping for no reason. Just like KG deserves all that pain in his knees for blocking shots after the play is over =); I bet he wishes he had those jumps back.

When you constantly see your team get bailed out by refs in years past to win championships. Then when you see the Celtics stomp this team years ago, and now you see this. And the sweep last year. Makes you wonder if those laker championships were forged or not. Doesn't really matter for me because my bets aren't made on personal feelings towards a team (I was happy when Celtics beat my pathetic Laker team; and KG won his championship).

I see Fish is still butthurt Kupchak put him on a winning team. Thanks for that three =p, asshole. I'll take a push; could have stepped in or bricked it like he has with the Lakers for most of his career but it's the last minute of the game he is 100% with shots in the last minute of a game(fish). My observations of all teams and players remain. I made them all before this season started =).

Notice my Bulls bet vs the Lakers at the very start of the season.

Nice to start the game with a win. No master mind work here I just expected the pace to slow when Indiana had the lead early in the 1st qtr. +4.5 Miami Heat +100 was up at this time also for the 1st quarter. I'm a total man I won't slide into the point spread section unless I feel like there is an edge... and while there was an edge there I dunno I just didn't wanna 'flip' for it with the Heat down by 6 or 7.

Average day good day hahaha =p. 4/5 in the half.

Yesterday I think I was not so lucky with the OKC bench giving it their all in garbage time and the Lakers just not giving a shit to cut into the lead. Leading to more scoring by OKC an a push on my total. Seriously, Mike Brown lost this team in the regular season and it showed yesterday.

H1Cypher · 05-15-12, 07:50 PM

Lol 5 dimes doesn't want to put up team totals in the 3rd quarter cause the game is a pick em and Miami is down 5.

That would mean they would either give you a sweet over on the Pacers or a sweet under on Miami. I rarely bet in the 3rd and maybe I should look for more spots there. I already found one will post after the game, posting these pending plays has been unlucky for me. I've lost more than 50% of those when they looked like absolute winners not posting it; and I'm hitting at an obscene rate in live in play well over 65%- that some unlucky bull shit right there.

Edit:
I'm thinking if the Heat are still down in the 4th quarter pace should pick up. Miami will go for stops and look to score maybe try for a middle on their team total If I can get it.

H1Cypher · 05-15-12, 07:57 PM

I don't do bets before the 4th starts after the 3rd is over. I keep saying it over and over again. I don't bet before a quarter starts on the results of that quarter unless I have a strong lean or just wanna gamble.

Edit: Lol point spread is Miami +4 but no team total for either team. That is a oyster con artist move right there but oh well. No reason to not put up team totals they always do, unless in this case they think they are giving up too much edge.

H1Cypher · 05-15-12, 08:09 PM

Not low enough for me to take an over and I could have gotten way better unders earlier in the game. Means I'm waiting till late in the 4th most slikely and sticking with the 1 pending I have right now. 77.5 MIami, Indiana 81 o/u 158.5 at 8:40 ish mark.

Edit: Hopefully this game doesn't go to OT. It looks like it could go to OT.

Double Edit: Not exactly going out on a limb that was pretty obvious to most who have watched some basketball in their life. But there it goes heat speeding it up when down as predicted; even a monkey coulda called that though so I won't take more than a monkeys credit. Totals at this commercial are 162 no team totals up or will be put up i reckon. on 617 pm pacific time.

Had to make it a sweat. Solid game I picked this one off in the 3rd quarter realized they would likely need a 32+ point 4th quarter just to reach this number. That's what you call sharp

. Good thing I was patient and didn't go for middle at 77.5. Also good thing I waited till after the result to gloat =p.

H1Cypher · 05-15-12, 09:16 PM

High totals in the playoffs first game of the series. I wanna take the overs and it woulda hit in the 1st quarter. I'm taking it relaxed in this game prolly looking for just 1 winner. Will get more aggressive with it in the following games. Alot of opportunity here but easy to say after my leans hit after the 1st quarter is over. Not gonna post em just gonna watch the game too.

H1Cypher · 05-16-12, 07:01 PM

"No bets yet for the Celtic Philly game 3. Once the game went way over the total in the 1st quarter. I didn't want to bet under before the 2nd started knowing the totals could go higher, in which case I would target the unders or the totals could go lower where i could target overs late in the 2nd quarter unless I feel they are too sharp and the quarter is one of thoses deadly 28 point quarters for both teams. Then I might not play it. Just depends on the numbers that are put up and how I feel about them in relation to how the game is going."

Posted this earlier in the 2nd half lol in the wrong thread though.

None of what I expected to happen totals stayed solid through out the entire 2nd quarter. Totals didn't dip or go way high so I didn't make a bet in this game. Didn't get any low totals in that 2nd quarter, and I didn't get any high totals either- I got sharp numbers so my hands were tied.

Thats the type of game that will bury you if you're not patient of if you were on the wrong side early. I knew I should havve grabbed the over 196.5 late in the game just felt like the Sixers would speed it up at the end oh well. Waited late in the game made some bets thought about betting +22 and the over 197 but i didn't want to over commit in a game like this.

H1Cypher · 05-16-12, 09:07 PM

Nothing for the Laker first quarter they had the totals at 45.5 I was thinking under cause it was pretty off. To beat it would need an increase in pace just didn't want to chance it.

I was goin gto bet OKC -1.5 in the 1st half but the juice sky rockted too -170 super fast. Went from I dunno what was it? -125 to -170 in a matter of 2 minutes or something. Anyway I bet Lakers under 45 thinking they would not hit 46- was a sweat. That was the big bet. OKC under 47.5 was an after thought I was actually thinking about betting over 47 but changed my mind with the half point(went from 47 to 47.5 in 30 seconds or so). Anyway I bet -2.5 there realizing the end score would likely be 45-48. Unsure of everything I pretty much gambled since it looked horrible at some point but the end result was pin point.... almost

Glad I didn't bet on OKC at any point in this game =). Actually thought about betting LA Lakers +8.5 early. Looks like I have a loss on the total but not if Lakers can make another shot and OKC does a couple of fouls. After this the next commercial laker team total was 85- i could ahe easily went for the middle(last time totals were up) OKC team total was 81(which i thought was high). Anyway- didn't go for the middle may have a loss on me. If lakers had scored a couple more with fouls it could have went over 85 too, oh wells.

H1Cypher · 05-16-12, 11:09 PM

Lol, right when I pressed enter OKC went on a run. Oh well it happens late in the game. This is Kobes fault 9-25... 0/6 from 3 you jack ass. It's like watching a stubborn I dunno what.... he's clearly lost it and keeps forcing it. Fuckin Kobe. No money lost but Laker fan remember =p.

One thing I found interesting was this yesterday. Totals were at 38.5 and I kinda thought about taking the over but then I said it made more sense to take the under in that spot but of/c the super low totals scared me away which is fine. Based on how the pace was played in this OKC/Laker game 2. Remember I said early on for Lakers to win games they have to slow it down. That was the kind of game we had in this game.

Now I can't find the example I was looking for but this one works just as well. Here is a previous bet in the 3rd: In this game I bet the over on a low scoring team total. Why didn't I do the same thing when OKC was at 18.5 in this Laker game? Several reasons, It was being played at Laker pace. An 18 point quarter is not out of the question when they had scored 0 thus far and had to score 19 in under 8 minutes. The games pace was trending down and it wasn't a game of big runs either. If every time a total was low or high I bet the under or over accordingly that would make me a mindless machine or possibly broke; sometimes I miss opportunities, sometimes I dodge bullets. Pace, foul calls, and team tendencies have been huge proponents/factors in my decision making since I started getting a handle on how live in play should be bet way back in the regular season.

I had to bet this because this has been such a game of runs. Go on a big scoring spell then on a dry spell. Well this time the dry spell came early and there was still almost 9 minutes to play with Philly having possession of the ball. 8 shots in 9 minutes, in a game like this. I'll take it. Yeah could have one of those 14 point quarters but I didn't see it happening. Going with the trend of the game. Could call it a game now or wait and see if one more opportunity will arise in the 4th."

Good win I could have won 2 bets here lol. When totals were up it was 85.5 for both teams, 40.5 Pacers with them at the line, and 45 for the Heat. Before this commercial the total was 45.5 for the Heat- at that point after that commercial during the game. I had decided the Heat would not go above 45. Well imagine my surprise to see 45 up yet again under 5 minutes to go 10 points- very sharp total. But I stuck with what I had observed all along in the 2nd quarter. Also I thought about taking over 40.5 Pacers, so my thoughts were this: Heat total under, Pacer total over, both totals(85.5) no play. That is basically a sweep =).

That last minute was a sweat though lol, but oh well a win is a win.

H1Cypher · 05-17-12, 07:16 PM

Game of swings back and forth and it kept coming back to the original spread which had it a close game -1 or pick em. Missed out on alot of point spread bets if I had balled up but oh well.

Edit: This is just like the last game (game 2 pacers/heat). Wait until Pacer totals hit bottom bet the over and win. heat totals bet the under and win by a sweat. series is going how series is going.

Waited till late in the half to snag a point spread bet. I never liked any of the total numbers until late in the game thought it was too sharp for both teams. Should have grabbed the Indy team total over but was afraid of a scoring drought.

Right when this quarter started I felt locked in, in the zone. And the bets speak for themseselves. Results are yet to be determined but I recognized the Clippers about to get blown out in the 1st. They'e done this plenty before and a lot during the Memphis series. These were all easy calls to me =) no difficulty pulling the trigger here. Let's hope it works out looking great right now.

Clips actually play better after down double digits lets see what happens in this 2nd quarter. 2-0 in this game, with a 1st half bet pending. Probably a loss. I'm too good for my own good the gambling gods keep making me sweat for no reason.

Called both quarters lol, like a fuckin clairvoyant

. I was sittin there calling the shots before they went in or out. That was a Spurs 1st quarter and a Clippers 2nd quarter. Alot of the Clipper games have gone like this. High scoring first low scoring 2nd, probably has something to do with the defense of the bench for the Clippers. Bledsoe is really good at defending the point guard for the opposite team. All my winning bets this entire game have been just picking off patterns that have been happening constantly, helps that I've watchced so many Clipper games this year though.

I only had to make that under 37.5 bet cause of the Celtic bet. I honestly figured I would win one or the other. Turns out I was right cause if that last Celtic shot goes in I win one or the other.

When I made this bet the totals opened at 76.5 and about 15 seconds later went to 75.5. Then I had to use my wonder twin sharpie skills and come up with a better bet.

Fuckin the Black Mario(the light skinned brutha with the stache) is trying to **** up my bet. Quit sending Philly to the line. Rewarding pathetic behavior isn't admirable. Let 'em rot.

Wow this is sad the worse Philly plays the more calls they get.

I have to wonder if I'm creating competition for myself. These totals are being bought down faster. I usually have time to think it through full commercial and decide at the end. Some twit is betting 20 seconds into the commercial and not giving me my time to think.

Ingame it seemed pretty obvious to me something was up in this 3rd quarter. Boston, the refs, the game I dunno but the door was open for Philly to make a run. If they cut it to 10 this is a winner and I saw them doing that so had to bet. Only regret waiting- 10 seconds of wait cost me -10 of extra juice.
