***NBA Wednesday***

Whoa, why am I a vulture?  What have I ever tried to take from you?  Nothing.  If my questions on the first page of this thread bothered you, then it might be because you're a big, big LIAR.  If you're not a liar, then what's the problem?  You know, if you weren't such an easygoing guy, aireent777, I'd be mocking the shit out of you for claiming to bet $108 on one game while claiming to fire fifteen friggin' dimes on another.  That kind of gap between wagers from one bettor is either complete bullshit on your part or total foolishness if it is true.  The fact is, there's a reason why we never see bettors with such a crazy range in their day-to-day betting amounts.  You see, anyone who has both the resources and the balls to fire $14,700 on anything.....could not possibly get any "juice" out of betting $108 on anything else.  So when you claim to have $108 on the Houston Rockets, +$107 on the Milwaukee Bucks, and $14,700 on the Orlando Magic, most of us just have to laugh or shake our heads.  I choose to laugh, but I didn't even openly make fun of you in this ridiculous thread.  I just asked a couple of legitimate questions.  But after today's nonsense, I have no choice but to shift the sarcasm into turbo mode.       

Speaking of unbelievably fucked up - Welcome, everybody, to the fantasyland of aireent777's daily NBA thread, where no amount of stupefying ill-advised losses can't be chased away with a gargantuan late night bet on the Lakers (or whatever other attractive-looking small road favorite is in action on the West coast at 10:05 or 10:35).

Seriously, aireent777, who's "we"?

Evidently, questions like these....

....make me a "vulture."     

Luckily for aireent777 and all of us who care about him, he has excellent medical coverage, and was treated immediately in the Covers ICU with an injection of endless cash, which was enough for him to chase his enormous (and enormously square) Orlando and Chicago losses with an even more enormous (yet no less enormously square) bet on the Lakers moneyline.  I think I speak for everyone when I say "Phew!"

Wait, you don't mind if I try a little vulturous math, do you?  Okay, here we go:

You lost $108 on the Rockets -5.5 -108.

You won $100 on the Bucks +7 -107.

You won $300 on the Hornets -7 -107.

You never said what price you were laying on the Bulls moneyline, but since you always seem to quote Pinnacle's lines, I'll go with what they had for much of the afternoon, which was -450.  So you lost $1,350 on the Bulls ML -450.

You didn't say what price you were laying on the Magic moneyline, but I'll go with -2100 which is what Pinnacle had all day until they crept up to -2250.  So you lost $14,700 on the Magic ML -2100.

You lost $700 on the Sixers/Bulls/Mavs moneyline parlay.

You lost $500 on the Sixers/Bulls/Mavs/Pacers/Hornets moneyline parlay.

All told, you waved a mytical goodbye to a mythical $16,958.  No problem, though, since you recouped it all by laying -138 on the Lakers moneyline in the late action.  That means you - the same man who wagered $108 on the Rockets and $107 on the Bucks just three hours earlier - laid out $23,402.40 on one game to get it all back. 

So do I have these numbers right?  Are you standing by your claim that you bet approximately twenty-three thousand dollars on the Lakers?  Yes or no?

It's comforting to know that when the 1, 2, and 3 unit bets don't go so well, we can count on the 15 unit halftime side and total guesses to try and make it all better.

If not, it should be archived just for the entertainment value.

Hey man, if you're going to claim a winning day after all that bullshit, then I'm damn sure going to make fun of you.

No way, really?  You're leaning towards both powerhouse road favorites on TNT?  You?

Look, Geelong, it's your own fault for not being savvy enough to post whatever bet amounts necessary to recoup whatever you lost earlier.  Next time, take a page from the aireent777 playbook and you can say goodbye to losing days!

No one on planet Earth bets a hundred dollars on a game and then three hours later bets $23,402.40 on a game.

My favorite is after he double up on the $23,402.40, he decides to nonchalently put another $3,300 into play.

That means: A $100 bettor had $49,384.80 in play AT ONE TIME!

To the guy above who thinks this is possible: Please don't ever be a juror in a murder trial in the US.

I can hear you now: "It is certainly possible someone else did this. He seems like he is telling the truth."

Classic gullibility!!!!
