    Nets (+114) to win East..28K/32K (Y or N?)
    Gonna have to empty out my savings & then some to make this bet. Did it last yr with my MIL/LAL Future so I got no problem waiting. Just massively on tilt at the moment so this way I don't have to worry about continuously blowing my BR week by week. The main concerns are obviously injuries to the Big 3 & watch MIL suddenly emerge wo. the expectation (76ers paper tigers as always esp. with Doc). Playoffs start 5/22 so I wouldn't get a result till July. Would cash out 50K & leave 10K in. Thoughts?

          Understandable..but if I lose everything before then gonna really wish I tied that money up.. Sort of like a 5 month CD with 114% interest

              my board answer is do it and we get a real happy ending for you or some really good material if you lose.

              however, my honest answer is no. just do $1K if anything. keep $$$ in savings doug. i don't want to see you empty your bank accounts that you worked hard to save up.

                  I know their defense sucks but their O. is redic. Big 3 all shooting over 50%.. 40% from 3 and 87% from the line. Levert averaging 18.5 and Joe Harris shooting 50% from 3.

                    That's brutal..BM just takes 2 max. plays & small 1 to get it in..wouldn't even affect the line like at 5dimes.

                      What's your net worth? Can't realistically call it without more info.

                        Appreciate that but LBH..it wasn't from working hard, just winning 1 lucky 12K parlay in Oct & just hitting a bunch of all in bets till my luck finally out.

                          Currently around 19.5K but with BTC dropping like a turd probably less. Got 3 weeks of vac. pay coming up so that's another 3K in the next 3 weeks. Could definitely get it up to 28K by saving up or making a few bets. If anything +114 will probably get better as MIL. improves down the road.

                            Would advise to not tilt and take way more time to make this bet or significantly lower your bet amount.

                            Pretty bad sign, that you mentioned Levert. I would be ecstatic if they had been able to keep him.

                              jesus doug. $28,000

                              what the fukk you do for a living to have that money haha. If you have that much to lose, i feel like it's much safer to put into the stock market and not on a coin flip like most have said

                              sure KD, Irving, harden are great. How did that do for them in OKCity. only 1 finals appearance

                              defense wins championships not offense

                                Just realized that..totally forgot they traded him ( technically he did average 18.5 )

                                  Good point Sam, but like that OKC team they just have to make the Finals, not win it.

                                    in the end, it's your money and your decision. I wouldn't put all 28k into that bet

                                    if you wanna put 28k into gambling i would do 15k on that bet and play with the other 13k

                                    turn the 13k into 20k and then put another 7k into that bet. rinse and repeat

                                      You'll probably lose it betting tennis before that so go for it and hope for the best. . Just make sure you cash out after that and stop betting so much $

                                          I'll be honest if today was the start of the playoffs I would make the bet & wait the 1.5 months. I guess for now just gonna reload that 7K+ on Friday & try to build it up. If that busts, then I'm just gonna empty my savings & keep reloading wkly. just to unload on the Nets. Can't keep grinding anymore just to lose it all. Should've done it with Osaka @+400 so I won't make that mistake again.

                                            Let all that just sit in bitcoin and gamble that way.

                                            Nets could win the east but as others have said, their defense sucks.

                                              Gotta imagine their defense is gonna tighten up during the playoffs..BTC too volatile wouldn't be shocked if it goes back down to 20K

                                                one injury and they will go down with ultimate piss poor defense and once their backs are against the wall harden and kyrie... u relying on them with KD out? LOL

                                                Doug will make this bet wait it out and then he will have the ultimate burial thread the day nets are down to elimination and they f up and lose ... remember clippers in bubble ?

                                                    If I got +114 on a coin flip, I would tie it up for up to a year. That is a 7% edge. Conference Finals should be done by the end of June. That's a 22% annual return. What are you doing with your money where you expect better than that?

                                                      dougs looking to make up for losses by potentially chasing with a bigger dollar amount.

                                                      I just watched uncut gems for a 2nd time last night...what a fukking movie, but this is doug right now

                                                      we have all been there. Not for this dollar amount, but i root for him
