    not that anyone cares, but i feel the need to make this proclamation as a matter of catharsis. after what happened in San Antonio tonight, i'm done with pro hoops until the playoffs. i'll unload on african soccer before i'll wager another cent on a reg season NBA game.

    the Spurs just vaporized the Thunder 3 times in 10 days, the last two being complete blowouts, then they come home as 15-point favorites and promptly get punked by the 11-19 Utah Jazz to the tune of 127-114

    San Antonio was up 8 after the first quarter and i stopped keeping up with the game. a little later i checked in to see how things were evolving and Utah was up by 17 in the 3rd quarter. when i saw the score it felt like my consciousness had been detached from my physical body.

    done until the playoffs........i can't take it anymore

    I seen that you guys are having somewhat of a Dry-Spell on your High-Stake Pay-Out's...

    Have you guys thought about...A Cash-Line on some Tudor???

    šŸ”ŒšŸˆšŸ”ŒšŸˆšŸ”ŒšŸˆ...

    The teams To Beat over in the NFC... Cardinals, Cowboys, Vikings, Lions, Falcons, Rams...

    And over in the AFC teams To Beat.. Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Bengals, Chargers, Seahawks...

    An additional footnote...
    If the Giants are wearing their white jerseys...They Will Loose...
    Giants in their blue jerseys; They Can Play...I have No Explanation on Why that is...
    That's part of The Tudor Mystery & Mystique..šŸ”ŒšŸˆ

    NBA is as greasy as it comes, I hope I didn't start an African soccer betting thing though

    That is not a sound investment lol

    Believe it or not, I'm considering smashing the OKC ML today at 3:30, along with some OKC props, parlays, etc.

    I'm still up 121% since football season began, and I guess the money is burning a hole in my pocket, and I can't wait to get rid of it.

    Considering placing half my profits on the ML. And some more on the props and parlays. Not sure of the exact number yet.

    OKC ML

    Parlay:

    OKC ML & Patriots ML

    That Steelers-Browns line puzzles me a bit. I mean isn't it obvious by now that this Sanders guy is at best, a backup QB in this league. Steelers have been playing some half decent football lately.

    The line opened at -3 Steelers, now at -4.5 no surprise. I saw this as a -5.5 or -6 line. In any event, I gotta go with the Steelers, and if Sanders looks like Tom Brady out there today, well then so be it.

    Steelers ML

    very little confidence in this one, but i'm trying it anyway

    i'm in the champ game of my fantasy league and i've got Burrow & Chase. i hope Joe B throws the ball 75 times and targets Ja'Marr 30 against a team that has been dead for months. Arizona has won ONE game since Sept 14

    prediction: AZ 3, Cincy 2

    -5240.85

    Handicap it "right", two picks for Shedeur, etc, but old man Rodgers suddenly decides to play like a dog with fleas. Not a single touchdown, against the stinkin' Browns.

    Sweet Eagles win but didn't play the ML or spread. Win or lose, in my opinion, the Bills coach made the right call going for 2, it just didn't work out.

    Only had one bet, AJ Brown over 61.5 and it hit.

    I like the 49ers a little bit in the upcoming 8:20 game.

    49ers ML

    Got smashed today, I saw the O/U of 62.5 when Chicago and SF was tied at 7, I legit almost ripped a 2k bet on the under

    So glad common sense grabbed me lol

    They might combine for a 100

    Right now at halftime the O/U is 75.5

    stevekstevek Posts: 32,489 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If you had made the 2k bet, and got cold feet at halftime, wouldn't have blamed ya if deciding to cash-out. That's a lot of money. You still had some equity in the bet. However I'm guessing it would have only been around the $400 range. Still woulda been an awful $1,600 loss.

    They ended up. scoring 80 combined, I'm telling you I almost transfered 2k into my account thinking it was a "Sure" thing

    I'm a low risk degenerate, meaning I'll bet pretty much every day but the only action I allow is what I have in my checking account after bills are paid, under no. circumstances will I transfer money from my savings into checking for gambling, that's my red line rule and I am sticking with it

    I had a little over 1k leftover in my checking account on Friday to do as I chose and right now I got $3.52 in my checking until I get paid.

    So now I get to suck on that without betting until I get paid on Wednesday, I'm going to miss out betting tonight's game because I decided to be an idiot and flush it all at the casino and with the NFL.

    Not a good weekend

    I deserve it for being reckless so no action for me tonight or tomorrow.

    Fun fact had Derek White not gone 2 for 10 with his 3 point shooting and gotten a 3rd 3 pointer I would have won $950

    Another 1 little leg destroyed a nice payday

    Dam, even for me, and of course I had no skin in it, that's difficult to look at. So tantalizingly close. That being said, you have hit on some nice ones, and as good a handicapper as you are, there should be more to come.

    I've got a very interesting freeroll going on at a website. Long story short, it's a weekly rollover sort of thing. I hit the first two weeks, but still have four more weeks to go. Doing the math, it could be a five figure score. If I'm live going into the final week, I'll post the info here, and my pick.

    In the meantime, I'm liking Georgia Southern ML a little bit in today's 2:00 game. Not sure yet if I'm playing it?

    Spurs only -3.5 tonight at home?

    The Cavs aren't a bad team, but only -3.5? I'd have figured at least -7 maybe a bit more.

    Of course as we know, sometimes when a line seems like a bargain, turns out it isn't. Especially in the NBA.

    just want to remind you that they were 15-point favorites at home two nights ago and lost by 12 to an 11-19 team

    bet on the NBA at your own peril

    I think you're right.

    I decided to just pass on the game.

    Kirk Cousins 175+

    I think the Rams will key in on stopping the run, and let Cousins try to beat them in the air. Thus Cousins may cover the 175+ or more, but it might be in a losing effort.

    I didn't play the game other than this one prop. I'll hope that BLUEJAYWAY hits his parlay.

    With the Rams losing last night the last of this year's division bets are up in smoke

    That 61.5 O/U for the 5:30 game looks interesting. Weather in Nashville is close to freezing with a slight wind. Seems like the bookie computer is begging for under action with that line.

    as i said a couple of months ago, if i bet on games as well as i played fantasy football, i'd be typing + instead of -

    last night i won my 6th league since 2015, and i didn't play fantasy football from 2020-23. so 6 in 7 years. i've net around 3k during that span. the money is nice, but it's all about the titles. like Tiger said, 2nd sucks and 3rd is even worse.

    what are you guys feeling for the big games this week?

    I got 3 championships under my belt but quit fantasy years ago

    I dunno why - this upcoming game with Louisiana Tech keeps haunting me to play it, even though I usually don't make these kind of plays. In a couple hours or sooner, I'll probably regret it. But nothing big as far as percentage of bankroll, so why not.

    Coastal Carolina +10

    I may also take a stab at the ML. Undecided as of this moment.

    Apparently Texas lost their entire D
