    is it ever easy

    yesterday i played brooklyn + 9 for my biggest wager in months for about 900$

    now with 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the game brooklyn is up by 20 points

    but somehow, some fuckin way, Orlando had the ball with 16 seconds left and only down 11 giving them a chance to bury a 3 pointer and bury my bet

    luckily they missed

    wtf is this shit, how did it even get to that point

    Brooklyn was -9 yesterday and to answer your question, when teams have their scrubs in at the end of the game that is there opportunity to try and shine and chuck up shots which the magics made a lot yesterday to come short of covering the spread.

    Not Much about gambling is Easy. If it was easy the books would not be in business and Las Vegas would not exist. Play long enough and the house takes you down. Rule of thumb for most players. GL.

    both teams had there scrubs in, and i know both teams, and orlandos scrubs are horrible, worst scrubs in the league

    brooklyn had deron williams in still(he came off the bench) Mirza teletovic and jason terry and plumlee

    there was less then two minutes but somehow the orlando scrubs kept getting to the line and also hitting shots, then deron williams does a shot clock violation to give orlando one last chance to cover with 15 seconds

    the past week ive lost some of the bullshitest games ever...

    under in nyk/clips...clips up big, but the teams hit two 3 pointers in the last 7 seconds of the game to go over at the buzzer

    next day under in indiana/clips, indiana up, they score 8 points in the final 30 seconds to go over, with 2 3 pointers made in the finals 25 seconds

    under in the bulls/lakers...noah misses a ft to go up by 4, giving la a chance to tie for ot, noah fouls nick young on a 3 pointer and he drills all 3 to go to ot, then hit a jumper in OT to make it go over with 5 seconds to go.

    Under 2nd half in Portland/Houston...Lin hits a jumper in a blowout with 7 seconds it goes over

    LOL he didnt even lose the bet and he came running here to make a thread.... no it's never easy, especially in basketball where the refs control the game

    one time i bet against air force and they were down like 14 or something with about 12min left and then the whistle wouldnt stop blowing and they ended up with 30+ free throws and the win, all while the team i picked had single digit free throws
