Lakers v Jazz

Hey guys,

I'm currently going through legal issues and have been out of work for 6 months. I use to work in finance but an altercation at a party lead to some pretty serious charges brought against me, so as it stands, I have a criminal record that comes up as 'pending charges' so whenever a potential employer does a back ground check, they aren't interested.

So in the mean time I had to sell my laptop, camera, and other goods that I owned, to pay rent. It sucks that one incident, in a matter of 10 seconds, can effect your entire future. As a result, I eventually had to move out of my apartment and in with family. I am now on government benefits until my trial next year.

I am attempting to make $1,500 so I can buy myself a new laptop, so I can follow my hobby as a writer and relaunch my website and do some freelance writing. I write a lot about politics, sports, religion, education, and my favourite.. Poetry. I write poems about addiction, alcohol, sex, love, and depression. I think quite a lot of you on here would be able to relate.

So today I got every cent I had $220 and am attempting to make $1,500 as stated previously. Buying a laptop and having the ability to write and express myself will give me purpose again. I have been spending my months sitting around watching tv and eating junk food. It's not a way to live.

So my first bet today was all of my $220 on Chicago Bulls. I picked that because of the emotions of wade first game, Boston being on a back2back and I genuinely thought Bulls seemed like the better team especially at home. I am temporarily going to believe in them, I think all basketball fans are kind of secretly rooting for them, Bulls in the playoffs is always a good thing. I think they will drop some pretty big games through out the season though. Bigs will let them down. So as we all know, Bulls got the win, thank god for wade pulling through in the clutch. Isaiah Thomas nearly got the job done during the stretch because of the 3 minutes in the 4th where Bulls couldn't hit a shot to save their life.

So that has taken me up to $400.
I have now put that $400 on Lakers/Utah OVER. The reasoning for this, simple.. The NBA is such an offensive league now, it's hard to take an unders. I think 75% of games so far has ended with both teams scoring over 100 points. As a life long laker fan, I know that this lakers team can't play defense. I love Luke and what he's brought to the table, but they will put up a lot of 110+ point games and lose because they let their opponents score just as much and then some...

Historically, lakers and jazz have been quite low scoring games, however this season there is a lot better ball movement since we don't have the entire offence being ran through the GOAT. Jazz put up over 100 in their first game against a good Portland side. I don't see why they won't be able to do it against the lakers. I had to jump on 201.5 it's a given in my opinion. I was expecting it around the 209-210 mark.

Thanks for reading guys, and I hope you enjoy the journey. If this game hits under, that'll probably be it for me as far as posting. I'll have to look at different avenues. This is the first time I've been betting in about a year, I hope it can at least last until I hit my goal.

If you win today.. which is a most likely, parlay a three teamer for $100 brings back 500+ you do that twice you got your laptop and some more cash to go back and bet single wagers.. just food for thought.. good luck on your journey, professional betting is a trillion dollar industry so it's no doubt that you will get what you need to jump start you.. see you in the winner circle l 

Thank you man, I really appreciate that.

GL BabyMoney appears to be descent bet one over but putting all your sports money on a game is bad money management.  Maybe I sugesst being patient and put 1/5 of the amount u have on this over and slowly build.  I know u want your new laptop build why in such a hurry and put all money in one basket sort of speak, try to build slowly, anyways GL on game and court case.

 

BOL OP - hope this works out for you.  keep us posted on your progress.

Like Lakers games in this pre-season. I think they will win Jazz.

If you keep betting it all, you only need this game plus one more to hit 1600.  Mathematically, you have a 1 in 8 chance of success starting from scratch, which is down to 1 in 4 going into tonight.  Good Luck!

be careful with the over in this game.... utah missing some key offensive key players...and this young lakers team has its first away game may come out a lil rusty and nervous... i was thinking the under is the way to go... also lakers defence isn't thaaaaaat bad 

Thanks brother. Kind of just want to hit 2 or 3 big games and be done with it.

'Hell, we're convicts.. We always go for it all' - longest yard

Lol

Thanks brother

i like the story bro, i hope u get it. good luck

Good luck and I personally like the play 

good write up and I agree, these aren't defensive teams like the spurs or something... 

I wish you the best and believe strongly on the over too. I like the Jazz at home and if they must win by 9, and believing you that the Lakers is going to have a high scoring game, the Jazz will need to follow suit by beating Lakers by 9...I am Sold on the Over as I am too a Lakers fan
