ATTEMPT 6 - BET 4
Perth Wildcats to lead at HT v Sydney Kings
$242.48 to win $58.20

In home games, Perth are 7-2 at half time, Sydney on the road are 3-5.

Last met in Perth (at HT):
Perth 60 lead Sydney 42

Call me crazy, because I probably am risking this on my local basketball but this is a good spot for Perth. Coming off two losses, they come home to take on lowly Sydney who have to do the 8 hour trek across the country.

[radost1n1g]

Good pick!Easy money

[ugabooga]

Haha hope so

[dudekid]

is that game already started? if not, u think its on 5dimes? would love to tail for some night action lol BOL uga

Are you talking about aus? didn't know it could take 8 hours to get across if so?

[MJT1212]

I wish i could bet even half of your bets but never can...your some kind of a worldly MF'er in my US eyes...keep up the good work and keep the US picks comin (if you can brother)...GL and keep up the good work man!

[ugabooga]

Yep in Australia and just started. Pretty much travelling form furthest east to furthest west..takes about 8 hours I think? lol.

Not an especially inspiring start to be honest

[ugabooga]

Perth are 2 from 11 from the field WTF

[H1Cypher]

If you get out of this one alive prolly best to avoid first half bets. They hit at a high enough rate but you can still lose the first half by 2 points and win the game by 20 points. Good luck. With your type of system seems to risky to just bet 1 half.

I've seen all the international plays on 5dimes for anyone asking. Not first halves for aussie basketball but yes for the entirety of the game.

Yeah i agree I rarely play halves but liked this spot for Perth. I don't imagine I'll be playing many of these.

18-16 at qtr time with Sydney scoring the last 5 points in 30 seconds grr

hi mate, been watching you kill it for a few days now. Keep up the good work!

Just to let you know, flight time from coast to coast is usually 5 hours. Sometimes 6 if going against the wind.

[ugabooga]

Haha cheers mate, the against the wind thing made me laugh for some reason

Perth up 37-21 with 4.27 to go

[NewYorkKnicks87]

good call mate, was looking a bit shakey early on

[ugabooga]

Yeah those late 5 points in the first qtr had me worried. Sydney are a confidence type of team so i had vision of them coming out and shooting lights out.

[NewYorkKnicks87]

what u think about the Stosour final tonite?

[radost1n1g]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

[ugabooga]

what u think about the Stosour final tonite?

Funny you ask that haha.

ATTEMPT 7 - BET 1
Azarenka to def Stosur
86.43 to win $31.98

Azarenka leads the H2H 5-0 with Sammy never taking a set off her and it only going to a tie breaker once. She looks to have her measure with lots of sets going to 0,1,2 and 3 (ie. double breaks). All this with Azarenka having beaten Radwanska twice, Sharapova, Clisters, Wickmayer, Benesova and form player Barthel twice in her last 10.

Hate to bet against my girl Sammy but she's simply outmatched here. The only real unknown is how serious Azarenka's ankle is.

[aussieH]

Speaking from experience. Never bet with or against stosur

[Sport_Fish]

Azarenka will be good here

Stosur is not gonna be able to keep up or win this without anything short of a complete meltdown by Vicky which I don't see happening unless her injury is really bad. IMO Stosur was lucky to get to the finals with Bartoli hurt.

[NewYorkKnicks87]

Did anyone forget she did injure herself last night and I think Sam will exploit that so I might be thinking Sam to grind out the win or over 20.5 games what do u guys think?

She was clearly playing the better tennis before the injury I'm sorry but I don't know if u were watching the same game lol

[hancocks]

Got Azarenka at -300 and sprinkled her over some parlays at -225 during live play when she was down a little

[keel44]

When you banked, was that pure profit? Or did you include your initial start up money?

[hancocks]

He's already banked once I think this is the second or third time he's banked

[ugabooga]

When you banked, was that pure profit? Or did you include your initial start up money?

Always just bank the profit and use the 100 for the next attempt

[hancocks]

Any bball you like today uga? I see okc thunder @-400

[jsmithj88]

how many days did it take to get 1k?

[Onetime75]

I'm liking OKC tonight, currently -390 at dimes. I definitely see why your banking early Uga. I've had some close call in NCAA with winning by a point and OT. Here goes game 5, best of luck tonight everyone.

[jrs362]

Haven't checked in in a few days, but congrats on hitting 1k.

I'm on attempt #3 myself. In attempt 1 I banked my original investment mid attempt so that I was playing with house money. Eventually lost and lost attempt #2 on my first play. In the middle of attempt #3 I banked what I lost in attempt #2, so I'm back to "even". Will likely bank attempt #3 investment after my next play and then continue playing with house money.

I haven't exactly stuck to the guidelines of -400 or so, but as long as my picks are winning, I don't really care. I've actually been playing more -500 to -800 plays. Really small winnings but they add up.
