Well, lets say the bet is reduced basketball line 101. You pick reduced basketball, then go to line 101. The numbers are mostly in order for any sport. Makes finding the correct line much easier specially when that category has a lot of lines.

oh, i thought u were talking about that longer code at the start of the ticket (xxxxxxxxx-x)...not that cute little 3-digit one in the middle...

and u use it to simply eyeball your way to the correct play, because 5d always arranges them in numerical order...clear

(i thought maybe there was someplace to enter the code in order to zap it to you directly...)

thanks BG

Up 4-2 with less than a minute to go.....and headed to OT. That's actually almost impossible....and yet it seems to happen time and time again this year. On the right side and then crazy crap happens.

Jeeeez.

i call this the DITH ("Dear in the Headlights") Syndrome...perfected by Toronto in game 7 against Boston last year...

ridiculous multi-goal speed-meltowns like this are especially memorable and annoying...but it points to the more commonplace brand of amazing...the garden-variety blowing of a one-goal lead with only a few minutes remaining in the game...i remember that used to be rather remarkable, NOT commonplace at all...

i'm curious to know what percentage of games in which a one-goal lead is held at the 55-minute mark...ACTUALLY ends in a regulation victory for the team that held that lead...
i suspect that that percentage has shrunk markedly over the last twenty years-or-so to something surprisingly small...any NHL stat-weenies up to it??? would be a great stat to know for live-betting

edit: as i write this i see that true to the Leafs protocol they had to go the whole nine yards and lose the game as well...

anyone know where to get that russian-roulette "splat" emoticon...

just doesn't do justice to this type of top-tier choke-job

I really would like to know what amazingly small percentage of games with a 1-goal lead at the 55-minute mark actually led to a regulation-time victory by the team that held that lead...

You know what is funny about that? Just 3-4 years ago there were teams with streaks of 40 and 50 games that they closed out when leading after 2 periods. This last two years, especially this year and ESPECIALLY every game we bet on.....the stats are shocking. That was a $212 swing and turned what would have been a very nice night (close to $400 in profit) into an ok night at + $156. Those swings are just sick.

I will say that every single game we lost tonight (except the single unit bet on 76ers) was VERY close, and we won a lot of blow outs, and none of our wins except the Flyers was really even all that much in doubt. Feeling good in general.....and of course any winning day is a winning day.....and I guess $150 bucks isn't anything to disregard.

A disappointed D2D

Not a bad day if you make any amount of money while having a good time watching sports. Any chance of an nba card before the games start for the day?

In the Spurs game I prefer the over.....for them to win by 6 I think it almost NEEDS to go over, but they could still lose over 205.....in my mind over definitely the play.

I like the Nets plus the points tonight. Alan Anderson is going to play Curry and will be physical tonight, and I think we see a close game....GS has been hot and the Nets probably won't shut them down, but having Blatche back really helps. It is also a game that Golden State wants badly to tie their record for consecutive wins at 11, and everyone knows how tough that is.

Wizards was a pick I started long and hard at. I think you are on the correct side, I just didn't like it quite enough to bet it.

**labones00** · 01-08-14, 07:07 PM

I'm new to the betting on sports world but have always been a huge sports fan, specifically basketball. I found this site and have been following you for the last few weeks. What you are doing here is very humbling, offering up your expertise expecting nothing in return. That's rare these days! (but don't let it go to your head lol). I'm more into college basketball, I am working on a system that has worked quite well for the last two weeks. Curious as to how you cap NBA games, that is if you are willing to share!

**labones00** · 01-08-14, 08:18 PM

I don't pay attention to the scores in the NBA until there is 5-6 mins left. There are LOTS of big runs in every game

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-09-14, 12:14 AM

Hmmmm. Minnesota took Phoenix lightly tonight, playing their best players limited minutes, etc. It will probably cost them the game. They were up 7 with 2:39 to play...

Do teams not realize the importance of in-conference games?

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-09-14, 12:27 AM

Yep. They lost on a last second shot. Brutal game management by the T-Wolves.

Losing that lead is almost as bad as giving up two goals in the last 50 seconds. A la Canucks last night.

😳

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-09-14, 12:37 AM

A quick recap of what was almost a terrible night.....I was truly on the wrong side of a lot of games here....Indiana played shockingly poorly against a team that they should not lose too...especially without Horford in the lineup.

Thank goodness Colorado came back to win, but the Raptors loss was my bad, the Flyer loss was also my bad....I felt great about that game for so many reasons.

At one or two points I was worried that this was going to be a 10 or more unit loss....so losing 1.5 units is actually quite redeeming.

Anyway, see you all tomorrow.

D2D

**Jayvegas420** · 01-09-14, 12:52 AM

Price will be the demise of our Olympic team.
Stayed away from the Raps which in hind sight may not have been lucrative but in the long run will prove smart.
The under was spot on & Nets was a bold pick too.
GL tomorrow.

Most people will. Probably end up 5-4 in a shoot out.

**twestacott** · 01-09-14, 04:59 PM

Noticed you have STL in regulation. What do you think of taking them on the puckline? They have been killing teams in their last 3 or 4 games and Calgary has just looked awful in their past 5 with the exception of the Colorado game that they got up for.

**labones00** · 01-09-14, 05:01 PM

Knicks will cover tonight +8

St. Louis is in Vancouver tonight, and I feel there is a chance they overlook the Flames a little bit.....also, I have only bet the PL one time this year (last game versus the Oilers). My feeling on this game is that there is value in a regulation win....PL a little too scary for the odds.

on the leafs tonight d2d, along with tampa...sabres will get slaughtered. I like stars to put corey under pressure, wild pick looks great also...blues should take care of business not willing to lay the juice and hardly ever play regulation too wary, would never take the PL against flames at home with ramos form and after a good win against the avs few days ago, all in all nice card best of luck except canes

**ThiaZ** · 01-09-14, 09:23 PM

I must say... Even though Knicks only are behind with 5 points, Heat are playing very impressively. An awesome bench and a ton of possibilities in the offense will kill Knicks. I think the +8 will be very close tonight. I got Heat ML, so hope we both can win :P

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-09-14, 10:01 PM

Kind of a poopy start in the NHL....1-2 but we break dead even....problem is that Buffalo led the whole game and lost the lead late and then in another SO loss for us. Should really be up 2 units and 2-1 IMO.

The night will really depend on the Kings....hopefully in a higher scoring game.
