     I agree. It is Roulette now a days. Extremely hard to make money. I’ll keep an eye out for the occasional rare spots but other then that I’m waiting for the playoffs. At least for the most part you can eliminate the effort factor then

     You should have seen their game against the Celtics yesterday. No way that would fly with a live audience.

     Once they stopped playing any real defense and it became an entertainment showcase for the elite scorers is when it became a crap shot. Guys like League Capper made money betting situational games that predicted when a team would be motivated to actually show up and play team ball. But some of the schmucks on Covers drove him away and he subsequently went tout. Some of these NBA players decide to take the night off even though they make millions.

    Relax. I'm unvaxxed!

     Damn, League Capper... I remember that name. I had an older profile but can't remember the login... But yeah, I remember he just went by LC. Didn't he post NFL plays too, even almost primarily? I DEFINITELY remember posting with him a lot, chatting with him, etc. Back in the 2012-2013 time frame.

    I stopped making several bets a day to maybe making just one or two a day.  It's really a snake-pit out there and I would rather just wager on the one or two bets I feel are the best and let the others go.

    It's easy I make my NBA picks and then fade them.

    Capping is a waste of time if you don’t book or work for a book. Sports betting is primarily  a numbers game.
