Today is a tough one, I have a group text going with close friends and they all bet and everyone is talking betting every day, they are all on the Yankees today and I gave a thought of "Sneaking a bet in" but didn't want to let myself down and embarrass myself with you guys and have to post with my tails between my legs saying that I pussied out and bet.
My buddies are not pushing me btw and in all honestly this whole thing is over me just trying to use some self control which I rarely use.
I'm not in a financial hardship situation at all nor do I think i.have a problem it's just about saying I'm going to do something and sticking with it
I know you guys are good but if a time out crosses your mind then go for it and hit the reset button
The games are not going anywhere plus at least we are talking time out in the off season when there is no NFL on, lol that would be blasphemy 😂😂😂

Dang the whole world waiting for Steve to decide if football sports betting can be beat and he’s still undecided. 😱
Darin - You're funnier than Gilligan. If they ever have a remake of that series, you should be playing the role. All you'd have to do is act naturally. I think you'd win an Emmy.
What has successfully guided me for a long time, is the realization and acceptance that losing money, whether it’s gambling, business, or almost anything involving money, that the lost money is spilled milk, gone forever, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Of course we need to learn from our mistakes, that’s a given. But chasing after the losses is a futile endeavor which almost always makes the situation worse, often much worse.
I think we all understand that. What took me longer to learn and I’m still occasionally learning it, is that we should take a similar approach on money we win. I know the term “playing with house money” is popular and nothing inherently wrong with it, as long as we don’t truly believe it. That house money won, is now our money, we earned it thru whatever means and now it’s ours. So in a nutshell, the next “decision” we make should not be predicated on what just happened as far as winning or losing.
Doyle, RIP, used to say, “It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about making the right decisions.” When I first heard that, I didn’t really buy it. Just a typical professional poker player’s BS. But the idea stuck with me and I pondered it for some time, and finally realized that Doyle was absolutely right. On TV I watched him play poker numerous times, and whether he won a big pot the previous hand, or whether he incurred a terrible bad beat on the river, he always, and I mean always played the next hand as if nothing had happened. Whatever his stack was going into the next hand, it was his money, not in his mind less money than he had or more money than he had, but what he has right now, and he played accordingly.
NBA Finals winner 2025-26 season
Oklahoma City Thunder: -175
San Antonio Spurs: +340
New York Knicks: +550
Cleveland Cavaliers: +3000
Detroit Pistons: +6000
Minnesota Timberwolves: +15000
The scary thing in all this, OKC is now even more rested.
That -175 looks like a license to print money. I'm thinking of taking a car loan out on my 1998 Ford Taurus, and after I win, upgrading to a 2002 model.

All that rest might get them off track for a game or 2 but overall they are in a great position but the betting window was much better a couple weeks ago for them
Just glanced at the line for Monday. OKC home at -6.5
I thought that line might be a tad higher. Could be the bookie computer is putting a bit too much emphasis on the last two Spurs games, which were blowout wins.
I've been at the monastery with Perk. But I may wander off and play that game on Monday night. Asked Perk to tell the other monks at lights out, when they see I'm not in my bed, that stevek just went outside for a walk.
In keeping with the honesty amongst the clientel within I offer an addition to my golf bet for the PGA ship. Last minute Wednesday I added a $5 top 20 on Justin Thomas. Just a nagging hunch.

That last game with the Spurs scares me a little bit, since I'm contemplating the OKC ML. Wemby had a "little bit" of an off night, for example only 6 rebounds. Yet the Spurs still blew-out the opponent. That is a sign of an excellent team, which of course isn't a secret the Spurs are that.
The deciding factor may be that OKC has the fresher legs. Very important this time of the season when all the players are tired and nicked up to some degree.
A good option might be to just ignore the first half, hope that the game is close. Then plow the OKC ML. With the fresher legs, I just can't envision the Spurs outkicking OKC in the second half, and especially the 4th quarter.
A wild card in this whole thing is OKC attempting to three-peat. Very tough to do in this day and age with longer schedules, free agency, and motivating super rich multi-millionaire players to give-up their bodies, play thru injuries, for the sake of the team.
Look what happened to the Chiefs a few seasons back with their incessant bragging about a three-peat. Then they wound-up getting thrashed in the Super Bowl, which they well deserved.
From what I've seen, OKC has not done any of that bragging BS of a three-peat, and that's the smart thing to do. But is their motivation still at the same level they had for the past two championships? Very hard to keep that motivation at the highest level which they are going to need to beat the Spurs. I still think OKC can do it, but frankly, those playing the Spurs instead for various reasons, wouldn't be a bad wager in my opinion. We shall see what happens.

Draft kings gave me unbelievable odds on how many paragraphs Steve will write about Spurs-Thunder before the first game is even played.

Darin is a funny guy. The hilarious thing is he doesn't even realize it. That makes it even funnier. 😂
OKC hasn't lost a game in the playoffs, and they've been without their 2nd best player the entire time. Jalen Williams announced that he is healthy for the Spurs series. so, a team firing on all cylinders that's going to have their full complement of players, going against a team that has played more games but had their number in the regular season.
what to make of this? again, head says Thunder, heart says Spurs. can't wait to watch every freaking minute of every freaking game
Many,many years ago I had a not so great year of horse betting. I kept track via a log. Saw the loss. Under $1,500.00 for the year. Not a large sum but when you see it on paper it leaves an impression. After that I suspended wagering for almost 2 years. So it can be done.
Did drift in/out with wagering after that, but now I keep a record and that keeps me in line,looking at the "books".
Good luck.👍

The White Sox are 1 game behind Cleveland in the AL central but nobody…. bookies anyway… think they can win it. Odds are +800 for White Sox to win division which is very favorable for the betting public. The Tigers are 4.5 games behind and their odds are around +250.
This is not a typical Sox team except for maybe Andrew Benitendi still being there and taking up space. They have some good, young position players. I think what the bookies see is that the starting pitchers aren’t going deep into games except Davis Martin and that’s really going to stress the relievers in the second half. I tend to agree but if I had any guts I would plop down a little cash on them.
Just thought I would point this potential opportunity out but you guys do seem like more of a quick fix crowd of gamblers.

They are a pretty decent team
Perk do you know the over total? It couldn’t have been very high and your buddy has to be in a pretty good spot with that bet. Sox are one game above .500 at the moment.
Congrats to your buddy it’s early in the season but looks like a really good bet.

He got them at 65.5 and put 5k on the over AND he bet under 88.5 on the Red Sox for another 5k
hitless in 4 at-bats. had 3 guys in position to pay me off going into the weekend, none did. Cantlay was tied for third halfway through his 3rd round, then blew himself out of the tournament (and blew up my bet) with a 40 on the back nine. Fowler & Koepka were a stroke out of the money going into today, then they proceeded to shoot a combined 9-over. total mother effing nightmare.
for me it's not about the $, as i never wager more than i can afford to lose. but when it reaches a point where i'm literally waiting for the other shoe to drop with every single wager i place, and then it does, it's sheer misery. and that's where i am now.
with that said, i'm throwing myself into solitary confinement. release date: no clue. no time soon.
One thought on the PGA ship. Will be removing Bryson and Scottie from future betting consideration. This after each one burned 3 bets each this year. Nothing personal, just a " business" move.

Sucks brother, I hate to see it get pointless to bet when it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that your gonna lose, it sucks the fun right out of it.
I had a tumultuous 7 day banger where I dropped about half of your running total before I put the brakes on.
Glad your taking a hiatus, like really glad.
If I can do it so can't anyone, let's re group and when the time comes we will be joking and smoking again brother

I'm 55 now, I been around the block a few times lol
Went bankrupt over gambling back in 1997, I quit gambling for 10.years, fantasy football got me back into. It but this time around I got a lot more to lose than I did at 27 and I realize that so I have a lot of stop gaps in place and trust myself to do the right thing and not go full on stupid.
The threat will always be there and I know it so I keep that in mind big time.

Revisiting that time, this was a catastrophic loss for me back then, I had Wyoming

No way a 4 game sweep by either side. Would be the upset of the decade.

I'd much rather be at a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders hot-tub party, after a big parlay win.
Right now I see it OKC 4-1, maybe 4-2.
I'd be surprised if it went seven, and shocked if the Spurs win it. But of course it's the NBA and shocking outcomes are somewhat normal.
I say it goes 6 games potentially 7
I do think OKC will prevail however I'm. "Rooting" for the Spurs unless any of you guys my good friends here bet on OKC

Well it's still early, but I'm pointing towards going with that mentioned second half strategy.
I actually hope the Spurs have around a 2 to 5 point lead at halftime. Then there should be some excellent OKC ML value.
Maybe for once I'll find an acorn. LOL

Sucks brother, I hate to see it get pointless to bet when it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that your gonna lose, it sucks the fun right out of it.
I had a tumultuous 7 day banger where I dropped about half of your running total before I put the brakes on.
Glad your taking a hiatus, like really glad.
If I can do it so can't anyone, let's re group and when the time comes we will be joking and smoking again brother
I'm 55 now, I been around the block a few times lol
Went bankrupt over gambling back in 1997, I quit gambling for 10.years, fantasy football got me back into. It but this time around I got a lot more to lose than I did at 27 and I realize that so I have a lot of stop gaps in place and trust myself to do the right thing and not go full on stupid.
The threat will always be there and I know it so I keep that in mind big time.
Revisiting that time, this was a catastrophic loss for me back then, I had Wyoming
I needed them to win, and they did not
That's why he was 175-1.
Not much I can say to dimishes your feelings. I don't like to see anyone lose, especially to my fellow betting compadres here. Try not to let it eat you up.
I scored on 2 of my 5 plays. $28.80 for my $25. Lots of great golf for 4 days and albeit a small win, but was worth it.
Yea, and then ya start playing 'em and they can't even make the cut. 😝
Great advice. 👍
