First day went well, will post picks for today a little later

DMAVS......didn't you try this last year and lost a 1000 point bet to me? And I let you settle for 75 points?

I'm just busting your chops...

Good luck this year! I hope you win.

DMAVS · 12-26-11, 12:10 PM

You would have to look back, I don't care about what happened in the past. Just want to see how I do now.. People can follow if they want.

An early prediction for you.

There is only one way to find out

ngates815 · 12-26-11, 02:07 PM

Bad.

biggie12 · 12-26-11, 02:29 PM

You want some incentive?

ill give you +200 you have to make picks at least 3 picks a day unless there is not 3 games scheduled on that day.

max win 500 pts

let me know how many pts u want to bet we can settle at the end of the season

MartinBlank · 12-26-11, 02:50 PM

Last year DMAVS bet me 1K points that he could hit 70%.

By the time he folded he was around 52%.

I let him settle his bet with me for 75 points.

So did your book let you update the lines you played when they changed?

Don't all books?

I played the Lakers -3 when it opened, and then come game time, the book allowed me to null that bet and take the +3 instead.

I was 1-0.

+200 when doing 1 unit per play is almost impossible. I am losing 1 for every lose and gaining .90 for a win

Alright, i am going to show everyone how good i am at making NBA picks against the spread by picking 3 games a day all year long. I am feeling at least 66% winning percentage by the end of the year. Anyone that wants to follow me and comment is invited to do so.

Huh?

I think he was offering you +200 to hit 65%.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that is what he was trying to bet you.

I just got a call from three of my books, they re-graded all my wagers where I was on the wrong side of line movement, and decided to pay me.

This is normal for a book, right?

People always have to say something.. I changed it to the current lines. They were not all changes in my favor

Here's a crazy idea....How about using the lines you ACTUALLY GET?

Is that so hard to ask?

I know that no one would have said anything about it if I would have lost with the new lines, and everyone knows that's true

DMAVS · 12-26-11, 06:44 PM

Picks for day 2

Under 195 Orlando and Houston
Thunder -5 1/2
Portland -5

DMAVS · 12-26-11, 06:48 PM

If it will just make everyone happy my record is 2-1 +.80 units.

And I will take the bet with 60% if you agree to that betting 500 to win 1000 points. Picking 3 a day when possible in nba games

MrShrink · 12-26-11, 09:17 PM

i don't fade, personally... but if this thread isn't the most glorious fade opp ever......... wow....

MrShrink · 12-26-11, 09:21 PM

and btw.... pretty sure you went 1-2 with the lines you posted originally

Just wait. He did this last year, but last year he was yapping about hitting 70%.

This year he began with a prediction of 65%, and as you can see, he re-adjusted that to 60%.

I don't understand this. I really don't. These kids have no clue how difficult anything north of 60% is, and they keep making these threads. Oh well, it does entertain us, doesn't it?

I'd such a degenerate that I thought 1729-1797 was Edmund Burke's lifetime record.

biggie12 · 12-26-11, 09:47 PM

its the national bingo association you need to be very very selective to be consistent winner in this league.

Dmavs i dont think you are capable of this.

your on 500 to win 1000

biggie12 · 12-26-11, 09:49 PM

if on the other hand anyone wants to give me 2-1 on my final nba regular season plays over 60% ill take 1500 points to win 3k

Your right 1-2. Just know that no one would have said anything if I would have lost the changes instead of won them. No one even said anything until the scores were determined. Everyone just finds a way to think they are better than anyone else
