Does that pretty much sum it up this season?  I don't remember a recent NBA season having so many easy bets easily cash.  Maybe its best to just not bet this season.

This is actually a serious question.

Miracle full game push by Minny.

2nd half = not so much


I think I am 2 for my last 20 on ugly home dogs. I looked so hard for a reason to play Philadelphia tonight as I thought the spot really favored them but at the end of the day they looked just too ugly.

How about the Jazz, how about the Thunder, how about the Bucks, how about just blindly betting against the Clippers, how about against the Nets for almost 75% of the season thusfar?  This are things people are constantly doing on a daily basis, and bragging about how easy it is in the process. Yet its been like they say, easy money.

The ugly road plays have been somewhat decent (fro me anyway), but those shitty ass home pups have been god awful (or at least the ones I've bet on).

I guess I'm just venting, because I made the stupid mistake of trusting teams I didn't like in the first place. 

Andermac, how easy was it to look at the Nuggets and think, "oh my god, I can have the Nuggets -2 for the game! Come on thats easy money!"

Yet it was easy money.

Maybe I should just bet all the easy ones.

When was the last time a significant dog (say 8 or more points) actually won a game SU? I'm drawing a blank.

I just looked it up, dogs of 8 or more are 1-28 SU so far this month.

The Nets beating the Knicks was the only one.

So lets look at my losses tonight.

Just lost on the Knicks by a half point.

Clippers by a half point.

Sixers second half by a point.

T-Wolves second half by a million.

I'm just sick to my stomach.

I threw in the towel on Sunday after getting screwed with the Magic -2 and -2.5.  I actually placed one more bet after that game, the second half under between Houston and Detroit.  I had under 98 and they scored 92.  Then they scored 13 more in overtime.  Haven't made a bet since.

Yeah,  I was thinking the exact same thing all day.  I have been done betting this league, just waiting for baseball.

If the books aren't taking it in the rear this season, I'd be shocked.

I just lost the second half under in the Indiana/Milwaukee game when the Pacers were whistled for a foul with one second left.  I've now lost seven out of my last ten second half under bets, which is basically an impossible feat, and I didn't even get caught in any of last night's games.
