    The Blazers were only a 4 point favorite v. the Spurs. It looked like a trap so I stayed away. If the line was Blazers -6 I would have jumped on it...

    Has anyone done this before? Stayed away from a good bet because it looked like a trap. I guess being too careful is good in the long run but it hurts sometimes in the short run. That's my opinion.

    There is no such thing as a trap. A line either is overvalued, undervalue, or at par. If the line is at par or overvalued it is no play. If the line is undervalued then it is a play.

                              He actually got angry at you for pointing out his hypocrisy. He didn't try to explain what he meant, he just got angry at you. Bizarre.

                                I took the Spurs and fell flat on my face. I usually love Portland at home but I loved SAS +4.

                                        Because they are assholes. Have you ever seen 1 post from this tacomax piece of shit that had ANYTHING constructive in it? Has he EVER discussed handicapping or posted a pick? NO, all he does is talk shit to people.

                                        I'm going to look that mother ****er up and the bash and get the **** out of him.

                                          It was not a trap. Spurs finally got Duncan back and always play well in Portland. They had not lost there since 2004-5 season.

                                          Just an off night, that's all.

                                          EDIT: Oops, they had lost earlier this season but by just 1. Prior to that they had not lost there in years.

                                              Not proving anything, I hate that tacomax mother ****er and he has it coming to him for all the shit he has done to me since I joined this forum. and it really is none of your ****ing business.
                                              Third, while I do respect your picks despite the fact they are usually heavy favorites,
                                              I pick a wide variety of teams both dogs and favorites. This makes no sense "despite the fact that they are usually heavy favorites". A winner is a winner, what does that matter?
                                              your response to other people is ridiculous
                                              I don't tolerate people ****ing with me. I don't really care what you think about it.
                                              Fourth, you're still a whore
                                              At least I have the looks to be able to charge for it while you have to pay for it.


                                              why is it any of your business what I do? If you dislike me so much then put me on ignore and stay the **** out of my pick threads.

                                                Not proving anything, I hate that tacomax mother ****er and he has it coming to him for all the shit he has done to me since I joined this forum. and it really is none of your ****ing business.

                                                I pick a wide variety of teams both dogs and favorites. This makes no sense "despite the fact that they are usually heavy favorites". A winner is a winner, what does that matter?

                                                I don't tolerate people ****ing with me. I don't really care what you think about it.

                                                At least I have the looks to be able to charge for it while you have to pay for it.


                                                why is it any of your business what I do? If you dislike me so much then put me on ignore and stay the **** out of my pick threads.

                                                Your antics are that of a 12 year old girl, name calling, whining, pouting, cursing.

                                                You are on a messageboard with 99% of the people you'll never meet, yet you choose to attempt to threaten people and throw a fit any time someone disagrees with you.

                                                I don't put you on ignore, because its funny to watch you cry like a little girl.



                                                And before you say it, I live in MD, I'm not interesting in flying or driving or catching a train to LV to say it to your face. If it bothers you that much, come to Maryland and that will be fine.

                                                PS:I still love you

                                                    Has anyone done this before? Stayed away from a good bet because it looked like a trap. I guess being too careful is good in the long run but it hurts sometimes in the short run. That's my opinion.
                                                    I feel like more of an idiot for dumping my bankroll yesterday on the Celtics at -450 ML.

                                                      I just want to rehabilitate you. You apparently have anger issues and for some reason need to vent on a message board. Is that because you lack the ability to vent any other way?

Then we have TPowell a young guy who is head and shoulders above most of the other young guys in this forum handicapping... Why in the world would you guys want to piss them off???
                                                        G's, let me see if I can explain it to you.

                                                        There are people out there -- Not all of them here at SBR, mind you, though it might seem as if they're all here -- who simply can't find any happiness in their life unless they are wallowing in the failures or tough times that others experience.

                                                        And there are others who often invite the abuse on themselves and seemingly thrive in being abused, some perverse swing to only being able to get their jollies by engaging in the battle of words from behind keyboards.

                                                        Does that help?

                                                          I piss off curious because he obviously overreacts to everything. Its sad I know, but, I'm snowed in, board, and just washing my clothes, it'll make the day go faster for me.

                                                            Fearless, for me if I lay off a game because the line looks too good it usually saves me in the long run. However, if I lay off a game like that and it hits I beat myself over not betting it. I bet it's the same for you, just trust your instincts and you'll do fine.

I use Bookmakers top 10 and Sportsbook.com if the game is top 3 in both dont bet it I usually bet the other side an do well. Let the public picks for the Idiots who think there are no trap games....I like ND tonight
