Pacers G2

@Brocknroll

 He's been questionable for the last 3-4 games with the same injury

@Indydog

 Yes.  I am just hopeful that he scores more than the 6pts in G1. 

@Brocknroll

 I'd be happy with 22/7/13 from Ty.  And hopefully they can throw some water on Brunson.  Thibs gonna run the starters into the ground... long series is good for the Pacers.

I'm on the Pacers plus 180 but not for nearly as much as I tried to arrange. Yesterday at the one place offering that fanatstic price I used kiosks to parlay the Pacers moneyline in order to circumvent whatever the limit was on the Pacers moneyline. But, the Royals' sissy closer James MacArthur couldn't get one more out, giving up a double, a walk, and then a missile of a 3-run homer to lose 6-5. The Royals had a 5-3 lead with two outs and nobody on base for the Brewers in the top of the 9th inning when MacArthiur grew scared. I had the Royals on the runline, too, at a great price. I also had that Pacers plus 180 hooked up to the Dallas Stars, who built a 3-0 lead after one period over the Avalanche before they turtled after giving up the first Avalanche goal of the night. Pathetic way to lose. They're finished in that series, by the way. 

This could have been a monster bet tonight, but instead I barely care if I win or lose. I'm not re-betting at a significantly lesser price like plus 165 and I'm not taking the points. The alternate pointspreads at FanDuel are a total rip-off, so that's not a plus EV option either. Same with rip-off Draftkings. I feel sorry for bettors who try to win money using books like that.

@MrBator

 Ugh. That sucks!  Still hoping Pacers even things up.

@Mr Bator 

That was your 50,000th post

Today McArthur entered the game with one out in the top of the 9th and retired both batters he faced to preserve a Royals runline victory.

If he hadn't choked last night, and if the Stars hadn't completed their choke a couple hours later, my total risk on the Pacers plus 180 tonight would've been $14,424.25 to win $25,963.65. Now that would've been worth rooting for.

@MrBator

 Oh man I had Nickel on kc and It was  heartbreaking  but then to have Dallas follow with almost same fashion up by 3 and choke and you had more on the line 

I think we’re all right fellas…I been drinking a bit but with Davis and Tiven on the whistle that pair have a history of being on big road wins at this point in the playoffs this year and prior seasons. I’d be flummoxed and flabbergasted if they usher in a Knick win here. I added -6.5 +330 -1+155 and more on ML +150 

I’ll come back win or lose and face the music

Jumped on Board The Line Moved to Knicks-4   So i will join Pacers bandwagon before it moves to 3 

I also had the Carolina Hurricanes -119 last night, and like Dallas, they blew a 3-2 third period lead and bowed in overtime. What are the odds against betting on two NHL playoff games and losing both like that?

Profitable sports betting is not possible with prices that terrible. Yesterday that -6.5 alternate pointspread was plus 360 at DraftKings and plus 370 at FanDuel, and even those prices were lousy. Every price offered - on any alternate line at either of those awful sportsbooks - was a rip-off.

the randomness of sports is impossible to predict. Books couldn’t have asked for anything better to have people gamble on.

Let’s go wagers!!

Too much love for the Pacers everywhere I look. I think they're going down. Hope I'm just being pessimistic, but I never win on the few occasions I find myself on the lopsided public side of a game.

In half of those games, the Pacers held a double-digit lead at halftime. In the other five games, they held a lead at halftime of 5 points or less and they trailed in one game, 50-47. In those 5 games, they won the second halves by scores of 63-50, 64-47, 62-43, 55-41, and 65-53.

If they don't stop letting Nemhard and Neismith brick shot after shot..they won't have to worry about blowing a first half or any other lead

The Knicks made 16 of their 21 shots in the first quarter. Come on.

I may have to get involved if the Pacers have a small lead or are down at the half.

I certainly will.

So the Pacers are up by double digits at halftime, but even in those 5 games in which they were up by double digits, they won the second half of all of those games, too.

I don't like Brunson out.  They should continue to roll 2nd half but no thanks.  Looking good StraightWagers!  Go Pacers!

I’m on the Pacers +4 -110 to win 4 units, Pacers +175 for 2 units, and a Pacers +175/under 110 parlay for one unit.

@MrBator

 Any 2H wagers?  Brunson is back
