Guys, we were on the right side. Sorry about the loss, but the players did not execute accordingly. The lines, public betting, trends, and historical data i presented before the game all suggested we were on the right side. When it doesn't go according to plan, there is nothign we can do. I am confident i capped the game right and there is nothing i would change. I'd compare it to someone guessing a number 1-50 correctly. Once again, sorry to those who followed, lost 3 units on this play myself. Will be back with a vengeance.

When I saw it was +4 blazers, I was almost 90% sure I was going with raptors (as I felt noobies would be all over blazors because of their win against blazers),
win against knicks?
I don't get how Portland got blown out like this. They've been better than Toronto this season

what are you talking about on the right side. the spread lost by 19 points. having a bet of the year on the 2nd day of the year? just lost all respect for you and the rest of seaweed nation after this.

Easy. Portland has been struggling on the road. They are not very deep, had a HUGE win yesterday against the Knicks yesterday (it was a similar fade theory to when the Bulls beat the Knicks, and played the fawks the following night and got blown out). Like I said initially, dont sleep on the Raptors at home, they have been doing this all year (defying logic). Seaweed was right with his opinion of the Blazers looking better on paper, but sometimes you have to look beyond that.

Why is anyone defending Seaweed?! I never call people out on the forum but this guy is nothing but a clown. On the right side... yeah, okay. Guy does nothing but constantly make pronouncements of what he's going to accomplish, all the while accomplishing zero percent of his proclamations. Might as well just be PaulyPoker.

ok, I think you had a typo when you said blazors win over blazers
Glad I didn't bet this game because if I had, I would've liked getting the points with Portland.
According to sportsoptions, 52% of bets were on Toronto, interestingly enough.

People don't understand what it means to be on the correct side...I try to explain this to people all the time. The team that wins or covers is not always the correct pick. There are times when you lose with the correct pick - and there are times you win with the wrong pick. If you do not understand this, stop betting.
Portland probably covers this exact game 55-60% of the time - tonight they lost. Bummer - manage your bankroll, and move on to fight another day. Cheers and Happy New Year.

no you dont understand, here let me help you. example.
college football....Duke was the right side. game tied and Duke is on the goaline with less than a minute left. they are +9 on the spread and lost by 14. worst beat ever. Duke was right side even though they lost.
blowout loss...not the right side. i feel dumber having explained this to you.

The Raptors won and the PGs combined for 0 points, although the tandem dished out a combined 22 dimes.

Thanks for adding some common sense to the thread.
People need to relax, i never said it was a lock. All i said was it was my biggest bet in the past 2 days of 2013. Like i said, if they played again tomorrow Portland would be the right choice.
Nothing we can do now, i accept responsibility.

Losing 3U is never fun. I never bet Raptors, they always get me. I thought of this game as well and really believed Portland could take it, but stayed away due to the curse of the raptors =).
Best of luck with your next pick!

Weed just stick to your 66% thread. You can't alert the whole forum and then leave us with a mush pick. It wasn't even close.
