Turning last year’s playoff losses to this year’s profits: This one is for you, Mr. Bator

I am not gambling anymore, but I had to post this one. Suns -5 against the Mavs. This will be a bloodbath. Dallas is worse than they were last year, no Brunson, and the Suns are about the same team minus the Covid issues, and Paul being exhausted, that affected their performance last year in game 7 at home in one of the most humiliating losses ever suffered by a #1 seed in the playoffs. They will be out  for revenge and they will not let up. I wish I was gambling, I’d put a grand on this game. Good luck. 

Nice thanks for thoughts BB

@begginerboy

 Any particular reason for you to no longer be gambling? Just curious

@MadeInDade

My job and my family life demand that I be present and in the moment at all times. Can’t get distracted. Too much to lose. I’m also a moody, unhappy son of a bitch when I gamble,  win or lose. And I don’t like being that person anymore. 

BB credit to you man. Quitting cold Turkey is quite an accomplishment. Good to see you posting.

@begginerboy

 I can respect that. Nice job on making what’s more important in life a priority over gambling

Always respect your insight, information & write-up on games. Keep em' coming if you can and have time 

Much Respect to your decision BB.....

@begginerboy

 Kudos to you....great discipline and a great lesson in self control. Best of luck to you.

Big props on your decision to announce you're quitting betting while making a thread title that said you're turning last years gambling losses into this years gambling wins (even though you're no longer gambling).   

line is slightly dropping in Mavs favor

Respect

Wood is an upgrade over Brunson. Suns haven't improved at all. Slow and one dimensional.

@begginerboy

 Unclear how you think the Suns are the same team from last year.  Crowder is MIA and Ayton hadn't spoken to Monty Williams the entire off season until their first practice.  The fact that you would've put $1,000 on them when they're clearly fractured, having had many issues this off season shows you're not really in tune to what's going on right now.  The Mavs took their soul.  It's a good thing you lay off the gambling.

Mavs are legit, better than last year. Brunson’s a role player who got hot in the Playoffs. 

Hardaway Jr’s healthy and Wood can also light it up! 

Mavs will be better than last season. 

The 1st Bator knob slob of the year, see you in a few weeks BB, NOBODY LIKES A QUITTER 

Damn..The Vultures are out to take shots @ BB........

Should have quit (for real) while you were behind  

I'm sure you'll have a writeup for the first Bucks/Nets game, won't you quitterboy?

If you quit gambling then you really shouldn't be on a gambling forum makes zero sense to me.

Take care brother. There really are mostly hot and cold moments and it can be a huge rollercoaster, both when winning and losing. I am not sure about all the side noise in relation to anything but definitely nothing wrong with posting from time to time. Family first, life is short and do you. Dallas looked good last night and NBA is a long one.

Take care of you and yours.
