Winning a 25k buy-in, with 345 entries.
Very impressive indeed.
Hope she has the good sense to salt away at least a million of it, and not wind-up losing it all back as too many poker players seem to do after winning a big tourney like this.
Well I don't think I can resist that Spurs win first quarter. I hit it once in one of this series games. If I give the money back, then I give it back.
Definitely not playing the game score. Looking at some 3's props and maybe some other chit.
I watched her play a lot back when I watched a lot of poker on tv. She has a really sweet personality and is married to a great poker player also. Forgot his first name but he looks like an nfl linebacker.
Happy for her she deserves it. 🥳
Wow - already hit almost every prop including a nice 25% parlay boost. Only prop I've got open is the Brunson prop, points under 32.5, but looking fairly good right now. However Brunson always scares me. Even if the Brunson prop loses, still a very good night for me..

and yes he's a hell of a player in his own right
they are quite the power couple
Thank you….. Alex!
Congrats to your Spurs looks like an old fashioned butt kicking tonight.
"The New York Knicks pulled off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history on June 10, 2026, rallying from 29 points down to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4. OG Anunoby sealed the historic victory with a game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds left, giving New York a 3-1 series lead."
How could Wemby miss those 2 free throws late. Missed one earlier too. He usually is automatic.
Only thing left is don't let Knicks cap the ship in San Antonio. But Knicks probably would rather celebrate in NY in a game 6.

Wow! I sure thought my congrats to Galaxy was completely safe. 😳
I was watching baseball and just checking the score occasionally. I tuned in when it was 99-95 and couldn’t believe it was that close. What a tip in at the end!

that game was so disturbing that it's preventing me from sleeping
i just pray no one here had the Spurs ML
i may start a gofundme page if there was
I didn't play it, so I couldn't know the following. But I'd have to believe that when the Spurs were up by in the high 20's points, that the cash-out value was around 95% of the total possible profit. I'd also have to believe that extremely close to 100% of the Spurs ML bettors didn't take that cash-out. I know I wouldn't have taken it. I mean why give away 5% of your profit to the stinkin' book, on what seems like a mortal lock win? Unfortunately that common sense logical sort of reasoning, doesn't seem to work in NBA games.
I'd also have to believe that there are quite a few broken computer screens out there, from those who bet the Spurs ML. And believe it or not, also from Knicks bettors as well who did that when their team was down by 29 points, and it was looking like the rout wasn't going to stop there.
I would have to believe that these types of losses by the Spurs will forever affect their psyche in any future playoff appearances.
Sure has to affect an NBA bettors psyche.

Guys….. if Popovich was coach do they blow a 29 point lead? I doubt it. Like I said I didn’t see much of the second half but Barkley said they were tossing up threes (and missing) like 8 or 9 possessions in a row. And I guess the spurs coach as this disaster was in progress never called timeout to reset the team and try to get their focus back. Sounds like lots of very bad decisions not just by the players.
What do you guys think?
Something I was thinking about…. If I was knicks coach I would tell the players when you talk to the media don’t use the word collapse to describe the spurs second half. Just use the word comeback to describe your teams play. Don’t say anything negative about the spurs to rile them up they’re mad enough already. Just business as usual.
And I think they will keep it low key. I loved the kid that made the tip in after the game speaking to the media he was so composed and hardly gave himself any credit. They know they still have to take care of business.
now that i've slept on it, i can talk about it. when you lose a 29-point lead, you have to do things yourself to make that happen. in the first half, the Spurs shot 14-of-26 from 3........they were unconscious. scored 76 points.
that's not sustainable, and that should have been the halftime speech. maybe it was, idk. if so, they didn't listen to it.
in the second half, up 29 with 9:37 remaining in the 3rd, the barrage continued. 3 after 3 after 3, many with more than 10 seconds left in the shot clock. except they were not falling in the 2nd like they were in the 1st. but they kept launching instead of milking the clock and shooting high-percentage shots inside the arc. had they done that, game over. in terms of situational awareness, it was some of the worst basketball i've ever seen. after scoring 76 in the first, they scored 30 in the second. think about that. 76 to 30. in order for that type of discrepancy to take place, something terribly wrong had to have happened.
top two people i blame are Mitch Johnson and De'Aaron Fox. Johnson for not putting an end to it via timeout(s), and De'Aaron Fox for not echoing his head coach's voice on the court as the one guy with playoff experience. basically it was a bunch of guys who were sopping wet behind the ears, not fully grasping what was going on and what they were doing.
it was like watching a train wreck, really.
how a young team bounces back from that, i have no idea. i don't think they will. if they had taken care of business, they would have gone back home with a tidal wave of momentum and NY would have been reeling. now it's the other way around.
the NBA is by far the most insane sport there is. how many times have we talked about teams blowing "insurmountable" leads since this thread started. the one last night takes the cake.
Galaxy thanks for the recap that can’t be easy for you to write with the Spurs being your favorite team.
My Dad when he coached me in baseball always told us physical mistakes are always going to happen. You’re human and not perfect. But you should always have your head in the game and not make mental mistakes. If the ball comes to you, you should already know what to do with it etc.
Sounds like the Spurs committed way too many mental mistakes. Like you said no situational awareness. Starts with the coach. He did nothing to try to stop that comeback.
bro you know realism takes precedence over my fandom. you're speaking the truth -- they do not deserve it. it was a disgusting collapse.
you guys are aware of my affinity for golf. one thing that people who are either completely non or lukewarm fans of golf don't realize is, what made Tiger Woods so great wasn't solely the fact that he possessed every shot in the bag. just as important was what took place between his ears. he was a bull shark mentally. no thought that might inhibit the successful execution of a golf shot was allowed in his head. combine the mental and physical aspects, and you have arguably the greatest of all time.
other sports are no different. if it was strictly about pure athleticism, every guy who runs a 4.2 at the combine would end up the in Hall. there's so much more to being great than that. Tom Brady also comes to mind -- mentally unflappable.
what you witnessed last night was the polar opposite of that. basically it was a collective example of stopping to think and forgetting to start again.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. Knicks are now at -500 to win the championship. Tough odds, yes, but certainly not insurmountable.
Can't see betting against the Spurs on Saturday. It's no lock by any means, but I think the Spurs bounce back from this painful defeat, and then it's off to New York City again.
A 10,000% Profit Boost (often called a "Super Boost") multiplies your potential standard winnings by 100×, usually offered for a heavy-favorite, nearly guaranteed bet. Because these boosts result in massive payouts, they are capped at a small maximum wager amount (typically $25).
How the math works:
The Odds: It artificially boosts the odds of a specific, designated bet (e.g., "Team USA to record 1+ shot" or "Either team to score 1 point") to exactly +100 (even money).
The Payout: If you wager the maximum $25 at +100 odds, your standard winnings are $25. Applying the 10,000% boost multiplies those winnings by 101, turning your 25 bet into $2,500 in withdrawable cash.
Are you kidding me? Craziest thing I've ever seen.
I'm not even 100% sure what this means, "to take 1+ shot" - I'm guessing it means at least one shot that the ball goes within the goal post, whether it goes in or not?
I'll let ya's know how it works out. Just a suspicion that they figure let's give stevek $2,500 worth of heroin, and he will love it, and eventually lose back the $2,500 and much much more?

Steve…. Sorry but the boost is already in the odds. Odds are -10000 on that bet, the 10,000% boost brings it to even money +100 so a $25 bet would win $25
I think that AI you used needs to put on the dunce cap and go stand in the corner until I dismiss class.
It was adding two enormous profit boosts, one on the odds and one on the payout.

I think you're right. Makes sense. The funny thing is, I couldn't find it anyway. Others on Reddit have said they experienced the same problem. The 10000 profit boost was being offered, but that particular boost wasn't available at any wagering area.
I'll try again later and see if I can find it. I think that game with Paraguay doesn't start until 9:00 Friday night.

Steve I hope you find it that should be a free $25. I don’t know anything about soccer but they surely take at least 1 shot per game unless the defense is incredible.

One thing that fooled me is because I receive cash back offers all the time in the mail. Usually for credit cards, banks, etc, offering sometimes low four figures for signing up, etc. So I figured maybe this was the books way of trying to entice me into larger wagering amounts.
This I know for sure, Kalshi has been hammering these legit US books. For example DK stock is publicly traded, and in a booming stock market, its stock price has fallen around 50%. I figured maybe this "weird" profit boost was their way of fighting back?
So it's too good to be true from what I thought. That being said, if it's a coin flip scenario, paying more than double my money, it's a good bet. So if I find it, and that turns out to be the case, I'll bet something anyway with the odds in my favor.

Yea, that made it even more weird. I know nothing about soccer, but the book didn't even offer that bet. The lowest offer was 4 shots on goal for the game and I think that was at -3000.
It's funny just right now as we type, I wanted to double check those -3000 odds, and the super boost finally popped up in the betting area. I'll try it now and see what happens.
Comments
In all three games, the Spurs have handily won the first quarter.
Knicks now at -2.5
The herd is always wrong, I mean right, I mean wrong, I mean.....
Mets ML
May play a Spurs win first quarter. This has hit easily three straight games. Of course these type of trends can stop instantly anytime.
The rest of the game, I'm looking into my crystal ball, but I'm not seeing any crystals in there yet. LOL
this chick is a menace on the felt

Winning a 25k buy-in, with 345 entries.
Very impressive indeed.
Hope she has the good sense to salt away at least a million of it, and not wind-up losing it all back as too many poker players seem to do after winning a big tourney like this.
Invite her to our CU sports talk home game!!
She can probably afford the $20 buy-in. 😂
Well I don't think I can resist that Spurs win first quarter. I hit it once in one of this series games. If I give the money back, then I give it back.
Definitely not playing the game score. Looking at some 3's props and maybe some other chit.
Already cashed at for 30% equity.
Serves me right for playing a stinkin' dog-chit team like the Mets. 😒
Every Spurs starter 1+ 3's
and a parlay of the same
Brunson under 32.5 points
I watched her play a lot back when I watched a lot of poker on tv. She has a really sweet personality and is married to a great poker player also. Forgot his first name but he looks like an nfl linebacker.
Happy for her she deserves it. 🥳
Canadian Open. Taylor top 10,Conners top 20. Conners+17 over last week. Can he be that bad?
Spurs so far looking like they're not taking prisoners out there.
Still a lot of game left to play.
Wow - already hit almost every prop including a nice 25% parlay boost. Only prop I've got open is the Brunson prop, points under 32.5, but looking fairly good right now. However Brunson always scares me. Even if the Brunson prop loses, still a very good night for me..
can you imagine paying 4, 5, 6 figures to watch your team lose for a second time at home.......this time getting their doors blown off immediately
Alex

Spurs collapsed worse than the Hindenburg.

Sports betting - tough way to make a living.
Unbelievable, the Spurs 10000% do not deserve to win this series
It's understandable to lose 1 game after being up comfortably but to do it twice in the NBA finals? They deserve to lose the series
So glad I didn't bet that
My buddy lost a $4000 payday by 1 run on a guy getting gunned down at home plate yesterday
So there is that to help the Spurs bettors that got their rear ends frosted feel a bit better
I would have to believe that these types of losses by the Spurs will forever affect their psyche in any future playoff appearances.
Sure has to affect an NBA bettors psyche.
In the second half, the Spurs scored a measly 30 points. Almost hard to believe a team this good, could have a half that bad.

I know the Spurs are your team brother,, sorry to be so harsh
I do hope they win it, you know I hate NY teams
It's just frustrating to see a team snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory
Hope they can pull together for a 3 game win streak for you

Darin - you were exactly right. It turned a .25 cent profit bet, into a $25.25 profit bet. I can't complain about that. I'll take it.

Steve… glad you got the bet in. 🥳
