    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?

    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.

    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

    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?

    Doug, just take $3k and get a steak dinner and a hooker to knock your socks off. Then roll the other $25k on the bet.

    Well... Doug is a guy with expensive habits!

    Steak Doug: $85
    Steak Hooker: $65
    Sides: $50
    Wine/Booze: $300
    Tax/Tip: $150
    Hookers time: $2200 (3 hour rate)
    Money left: $150 (get a gram of blow)

    Then he should take the $25k and roll the dice.

    you get a bill for $2500 for car repair or something serious what do you do? just playing devil's advocate.
