NEW Streak for the Cash

[lordswing]

wow, this sucks

good picks tonight but I could only get 1 in

if not for that stupid late goal, it'd be an easy choice with a W2.

Now I don't know what to do.

obvious answer is to just skip tonight

[losturmarbles]

Damn. The site is lighting fast now.

I've been used to having every page take 60+ secs to load.

Asked SBRJ directly over at peeps to reset my server priority, and he did. (of course he was the one adjusted it in the first place)

Don't have a clue who I'm picking tonight... maybe Montreal then NBA...

[yisman]

marbles, if he made it slow, why would he change it back?

[yisman]

A)Pick a 65% pick, only pick of night.
B)Pick a 60% pick, possibly get in a second pick, which would be about 53%.
C)Take two 55%ers.
D)Take a 50%, with the chance of getting in a 65% after.

[ROYAJA8]

Go cavs get more fgs

[losturmarbles]

marbles, if he made it slow, why would he change it back?

because I asked him to. thread 290749 at peeps

right after he posted (to BeantownJim): "I think you rubbed a few guys wrong firing away at Sam but hey this is forumville where every subject even the merit less ones have a half-life of about an hour. "

He made it slow right after I called him and sbr out (at peeps) for some shady shit. He lowered my server priority to the lowest possible setting. Basically a backdoor ban that he doesn't have to admit to or have any reason other than personal or petty.

Roguescholar informed me he's presumably done it to other undesirables in the past.

I was going to change and go with D myself, but I was too slow.

the 65% pick will probably lose anyway

[yisman]

I waffled a lot and then finally decided I should try D.

What I was saying about SBR John was why would he care if you asked him to do something? If it was as simple as asking for it...

[mikejamm]

All those damn soccer picks sucked this morning! Soccer is the streak killer guys! Can you believe FIFA gave the World Cup to Qatar in 2022 instead of the US? What the fuk is that all about! Yeah, have fun roasting in 110 - 120 degree heat! And Russia got the 2018 Cup because they had the best bribe! Freak'in Russkies!

Well enough time has passed I guess. And I caught him right after brushing off BTJ's banning and making light of forum clashes.

[yisman]

I was originally going to take Vick under and then under second half, but I realized not long before 7 that picking the Baylor one made more sense.

Maybe slightly less of an edge, but it allowed the possibility for the Kansas pick. Vick didn't.

Worst case scenario, I get left with what I would've had anyway had I taken the Vick prop.

[revnecro1273]

lame...baylor game pickers were able to get in the 905pm game

[revnecro1273]

wow lordwings...i am shocked...you went with a -190 favourite rather than going with a -480 favourite?

[losturmarbles]

wow lordwings...i am shocked...you went with a -190 favourite rather than going with a -480 favourite?

the -480 fav is on pace to lose... game will score 180+ pts if the pace keeps up

[revnecro1273]

haaaaaaaaaaaa....-480 chalk on pace to lose

[revnecro1273]

the -480 fav is on pace to lose... game will score 180+ pts if the pace keeps up

yeah i know...glad i wagered over 145.5

[losturmarbles]

yeah i know...glad i wagered over 145.5

[yisman]

Closer to -350, I think.

Tonight had a lot of lopsided options. We'll see how many win.

NCAAB total about 18 points off
Second half NFL total 5.5 points off
Arizona Wildcats being posted when they were -5.5 or -6. Line did come down before gametime to 4 or 4.5
the LeBron prop

no..-480...20 cents a point when buying points.. worst over line was 146 -110...that is 18.5 to get to 164.5...18.5 * 20 and add the -110 gives you -480

5 or 6 pt chalk in american football isn't much of anything

[yisman]

But -480 isn't anything close to a fair line.

If you're paying ten cents for a half a point on a basketball total, you don't know how to bet.

I understand that's what books charge, but it doesn't matter. If they offered the other side, what would they offer? +250?

Fair odds are all that matter. If a book is offering -500/+250 on something, I'm not going to call it a -500 line.

It's pretty significant for streak for the cash, which was my point. You get a 6 point favorite maybe once every two weeks.

Pinny disagrees, O157.5 -102, O157 -108, O156.5 -114

I'm on Zona 'cause I didn't see NCAAB totals posted last night when I was looking up the odds, then didn't bother to check again tonight. I'm also heavy on ASU, so this game will end well for me.

[losturmarbles]

OT avoided, under pickers saved ... and another sftc middle.

pinnacle closed at 146.5 -113...don't see any sign of the 157.5 you posted

[lordswing]

I'm referring to buying points on a total, those were from the drop down menu on the Missouri game. A full point is closer to 10 cents than 20

[lordswing]

unfuckingbelievable, missed PATs continue to haunt me

[lordswing]

would've preferred no blocked PATs, but I'll gladly take the L1

[yisman]

I almost got screwed out of an ASU cover.

I hate that overtime counts towards spreads and totals even though it shouldn't.

When the favorite of between 3-7 has it first in OT and scores a TD, it's big trouble.

This time it didn't bite me, but I've gotten screwed so many times taking underdogs and losing the cover in OT. Two bad losses like that last season taking Sacramento at home +points.

[mikejamm]

Damn my day sucked! Missed all three soccer picks! Golden State didn't fire at home! F'in L5 on the day! Toss this one out the window and hit it tomorrow!

[mikejamm]

Taking Everton, Win, Draw, Lose by 1, this morning. Come on soccer picks, fuk'in pan out for a change!

[losturmarbles]

10 Everton +814

[losturmarbles]

going with Kentucky, looking for UNC to continue their pitiful play
I dunno, UNC might keep it close the 1h, then fall apart.

[lordswing]

wanted to change from bears to dolphins since i bet on the felions, but it locked at 1:00, wtf. these games won't start for another 5 to 10 minutes

[Cabo]

After 4 days in December, I've already tied my November streak of 5W. Going with the fins today.

[yisman]

they always lock at 1

and it's a legit start time

kickoff is nearly always before 1:05
