Omg the Knicks..........

i watched them playing against the Rockets and thought they def have a shot against the Hornets at +7.

boy they might not even score 50pts in this game.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 03:03 PM

Lol, I was watching the game and monitoring the under 188.....JUST NOW I all of a sudden realized that I had the Knicks +7 as well. A 45 point halftime deficit......wow, what a poor pick by me. A lor of the times when a team is short handed (the majority) and you end up with a bunch of d-leaguers playing, the team actually plays up to the competition, or the better team plays down to their competition. I still had completely forgotten that I had the Knicks.

Now we just need the game to stay low (under 55 in the 4th Q) and it will be a break even game for us.

Oops.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 03:06 PM

The game could actually go over now.....on pace for it with a wide open 4th Q.

Also, Bruins up 2-0 now.....and that's not good.

**gregmav1** · 01-10-15, 03:08 PM

Yeah I have the Under on this game too. Neither team is going to play defense in this 4th quarter and I fear it's going to go over, just going to be backyard basketball in such a blowout... If charlotte hadn't scored fukking 41 points in the 2nd quarter we would be right on target.

The good thing is that Charlotte will bring in a bunch of guys that can't shoot.....and nobody in either lineup can make FTs.

HAHAHHAHHA, Quincy Acy just made a 3....and then we get a technical called.....

Is that Acy's first 3 of his career?

I was wondering the same thing. What were the odds on Acy swishing a 3 in this game? Ridiculous.

Edit: hahahahaha 2 3's? Jesus christ.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 03:12 PM

Yep, we are F'd.

How about 2 3's in the same game? A million to 1?

EDIT: He is actually 10-31 in his career.....

Still, kind of ridiculous that after 10 in his career he made two perfect 3s on us in the 4th Q as we go for an under.

**NYSportsGuy210** · 01-10-15, 03:20 PM

Take the LA Kings ML if you want that Knicks Money back....also take Pistons ML. Or tease Pistons and the Under in the Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls game....tease this game to like 203.

**gregmav1** · 01-10-15, 03:20 PM

Joke of a game... Knicks score 40 points through first 3 then bench scores almost 40 in the final Q. BS game.

Look at the play by play of the 4th quarter and just get furious. What a joke.

Play-by-play action for the Charlotte Hornets vs. New York Knicks NBA game from January 10, 2015 on ESPN.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 03:26 PM

Lol, the Knicks go:

18 points in the first Q

13 points in the second Q

13 points in the third Q

38 points in the fourth Q

Ouch.

Ok, so today Acy hits 2 three pointers on us and the Knicks somehow kill an under that looked beautiful going into the 4th.

AND, the Flyers G Mason has to leave the game 5 minutes in and they have to bring in Emery, who I would never have placed a wager on.

So, the $350 that I won early this morning has been negated by a quick 0-3 for -$358 in the early games.

GL the rest of the day guys.....going to the pub to watch things unfold.

**gregmav1** · 01-10-15, 03:27 PM

Acy hit three 3 pointers, not 2. Make sure you state just how ridiculous this bs was.

**ridersonthestorm** · 01-10-15, 03:49 PM

Magic game magic 23 points in last 2 mins, dead and buried Knicks sudden Lazarus acts, a few OTs out of the blue.

Looks like an under is a dangerous game these days. So many ways to get screwed.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 04:43 PM

0-5 start if we ignore the early, early plays. That is not a great way to start an awesome weekend of sports.

**twestacott** · 01-10-15, 05:02 PM

Wow Pats/Ravens game off to a terrible start for us. 14 points in the first 10 minutes and all on the wrong side of the scoreboard. New England defense hasn't even come out of the locker room yet.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 06:21 PM

Biggest NFL bet in 5 weeks. Second half NE -7 -115

ticket poated when I get home.

Go Pats!!

**fitguy67** · 01-10-15, 06:45 PM

window's closed for that one, so--like the live-play earlier on flyers--won't make it onto the thread record...but DO keep an accurate side tally of your "off the record" action characterized generally by its relatively short "window of time between decision and execution"...if you do, i suggest you separate it into two categories "between periods" and "in play" because, tho' similar, they are different animals with different "degree of difficulty" profiles

**fitguy67** · 01-10-15, 07:32 PM

good luck on your big 2h bet...after a bad start, ur bet's back in the saddle

oops, sorry about the semi-jinx...now a FG will get u bak to push...and a TD will rain money on ya'...bol

for those of us without a 2h bet...remember, oprah says to dream big...so let's all visualize a big storybook 2-unanswered-TD finish by NE to avenge the blown-out under

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 08:05 PM

What a scary 2nd half!! Hope somebody else grabbed it as well.

Can you just clarify why the window was closed? I made the wager and posted at the end of the first half. 20 minutes to get bets in.....thought that was ample time.

Needed it after that start in the NHL, NBA and NFL bets all going sideways. Was 3-9 before that win just now. Crazy day.

Lol, wish I could have a fraction of that success today. Every game I was hoping going over, are stone cold unders, while virtually in all those I discarded everything happens.

main problem was it wasn't posted as a complete play...apart from saying "your largest play in five weeks0"...you didn't specify the weight...if u just said 3u or 5u...anybody seeing the post would have known what to do...

you posted an incomplete play in plenty of time, but not the bet-size for anyone wanting to tail accurately to follow...

by the time i saw your post the window had almost closed...that's why i asked for the betsize clarification...

you got a nice win for yourself, enjoy the boost to your bankroll...but if you don't want visitors getting a bug up their ass about counting un-followable plays...let's choose to err on the side of being absolutely sure that anyone seeing a particular post could hit it at something close to its posted line...

yesterday's teaser i counted...cuz you clearly specified everything about the bet, the price AND the betsize...and I counted the tennis plays that took place in the wee hours...because the play was completely specified in time for anyone who'd seen it to do something about it...

in this case, however...IF you had just added a play-size to the post (or if i had seen the post earlier and zapped you my question earlier and you'd answered "5u" for all to see, while 2h wagering was still on) it would have been golden

so, just remember, in the future...i need the to know the play, the price, and the weight (aka. number or units or $ as you prefer)...if ALL these are posted within 5 minutes of that bet's window closing at 5d...then the play is iron-clad defensible...
________

right now,i know you won...i was pulling for you...but i STILL don't know how much you bet/won...

so this was just a technical glitch...you posted the play, the price...but unfortunately forgot the bet-size...

(when time that i saw it, i actually decided on the spot to try to hit it for 3u...but the window was closed...but the window being closed wasn't the reason i can't include it...the play was posted in plenty of time as you say...BUT it was incompletely posted as one of the three essential items wasn't specified...and that's the sole reason i can't include it...

)
____________
to be included in the record: the play...the price...AND...the betsize must be posted within 5 minutes of the window closing on that bet at 5d...

if we adhere to this...then each and every bet included on the thread record is 100% defensible...

so, it was rejected purely on a technicality...

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 09:42 PM

Flames + 1.5 goals and -155 to win $200.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 09:46 PM

And FG. I won't make a big deal of it.....because in the case that I cannot post the proper ticket I will always provide an actual screenshot of the bet.....but I disagree with the ruling. If I had lost it or won it, the assumption is that if I cannot provide a proper posting that I will provide a screenshot of it. I was fully prepared to, win or lose, post a screenshot of said bet. I knew it would not be accepted otherwise.

**fitguy67** · 01-10-15, 09:50 PM

BTW...thread milestone just hit...finally broke our perfect 0% record in NHL OT's...

allellujah...

...allelujah

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 09:56 PM

Adding Canucks/Flames under 5.5 to win $250. Will post acreenshit later.

**fitguy67** · 01-10-15, 09:57 PM

D, it's not the screenshot...yesterday's teaser bet i processed easily without a screenshot...cuz all three things i needed were there: the play, the price AND the bet-size...

I think it was just an unfortunate oversight really to not have specifically mentioned the bet-size ...i STILL don't know "what your largest wager in 5 weeks" so it was not fully-specified...hence not followable...hence why i sent a reply saying "betsize?" (but unfortunately too late)

anyhow, even if i agreed and tried to enter it into my excel right now...i wouldn't know what numbers to put under the all-important "risk" and "target" columns...so how could we defend against someone like "constant whiner" accusing you of taking credit for helping others with winning plays they really didn't have a chance to follow...so, let's err on the side of all plays being 100% fully-defensible (=fully-specified AND posted in time for a reader to bet it)...

just an unfortunate oversight really...if i'd seen your post earlier, coulda' been cleared up with a 2-character post such as "5u"...given there was a few minutes left to place the bet, that woulda made it official...no screenshot necessary

just a glitch we got ironed out now

**gregmav1** · 01-10-15, 09:59 PM

Yeah I do agree that the actual amounts and unit sizes should be posted at the same time as the bet (and before the game starts obviously), so that people can keep along with what you're doing bet for bet if they choose to.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-10-15, 10:01 PM

Adding Portland over 195 -102 to win $200

MY max wager is 5 units. The max allowable at 5dimes is $500.

We we will have to agree to disagree here I guess. I didn't realize that I didn't post the wager amount. For some reason when I said my largest and then knew I would provide a screen shot of everything....I didn't think about it. When I stated that I would provide the screenshot later, I assumed I was good I guess.

It is what it is.
