Purdue showed me something today...nice 2h grit

Locked in:

Doncic to win ROY +100...5000/5000...no point beating around the bush here...Dallas will be in the hunt for the 8 seed all year long, and no one really expected that to happen...did they?

I already have a previous wager on Doncic which was a bit of a hedge on Sexton, however i really cannot see Ayton or anyone else being relevant in this discussion come March and April...Doncic will be the run away winner by then

Clippers in 1st place...who saw this coming? Doc coaching up a bunch of nobodies?

Locked in:

Warriors +9...rare preflop wager for me these days but this is truly has to be an insulting line for the Globetrotters to wake up to this morning...pride alone in Durant and Thompson should keep this game relatively close and competitive...throw in the Curry X factor in his 1st game back, and we've got ourselves must see tv on tnt...Shaq and Chuck should be singing the Raps praise at halftime...but to my dismay, i feel Chuck is going to say something like "Raps will be playing in June" and mush all my future bets 

Curry looks to ruled out

Really close to locking in on another significant future...Warriors to win outright title is sitting at only -163 at bet365...to me this is as good as a line as it will ever get...right? There is no one in the west who can take down a fully healthy Warriors team come playoffs right? Kerr and company are just waiting for the spring right? I find it very hard to believe they dont make the finals...which at that point would be an easy hedge to profit.

Thoughts?

Im thinking about a very huge wager on this.

Locked in:

Greek Freak to win MVP +260...5u...2500/9000...cant see him not winning this if the Bucks finish #2 in the east....hes a wet dream for the league marketingwise and has been building his street cred in the league the past 2 years...hes shown the ability to take over games and cannot be stopped offensively if he decides to drive to the basket...this is a wager i really like as there really hasnt been another legit player who can make the arguement of being more deserving to their teams overall success like Giannis has been

That final 2 min by Dartmouth is the reason i avoid these early degen scrub vs scrub games...it only sets up for a bad tilt factor for the rest of the day...had i been so inclined, i would have also taken Dart around +16.5 early in the 2h...i would be in full rage tilt mode right now looking for a nearby casino....says the 25yr old in me.

BigD...you really think the line can get closer to -120??? Last year that was offered only because of what Houston was able to accomplish in the regular season...this year there is a bunch of mush teams pretending to be #2-8...everyone has huge flaws and would/should get manhandled by the Warriors come playoff time....maybe we will see a -150 at best??? Thats when i would commit to it for sure...hope tonight the Raps wax them by 20+ and public perception on the Warriors continue to tank...but you and i know they will be playing in June 

ODB...its funny because its true...one bad beat like this used to haunt me for days when i was younger and more free to allow my degen to roam freely.

Yes BigD...Stephs ankles may end up being the only thing to be able to stop him from playing a very long career as so many sharp shooters are able to do in the league...i heard him saying he would be happy playing into his mid 40s if he was still able to hit 3s...hope he comes back healthy because Curry is great for the league

BigD...whats your take on Raps to win their divison at -188 currently on B365...i stare at this number in my head 24/7...i want to buy more of this stock...just cant believe its still sitting there below -200...im actually thinking of doubling down on it and just shutting it down for the most part of the nba regular season if i proceed.

What do you think about it?

I hear from few sources that Heyward isnt right...maybe never will be 100%....we shall see....Bucks are the real threat come East Conf Finals

He was +300 preseason

Locked in:

Raps to win title +800....3u...1500/13500....im not going to wait any longer 

Locked in:

Sac Clippers Under 253.5...ingame wager at the half...this simply cannot sustain itself...either it slows down into the high 230s or tops 280 with a double OT 

You guys better not judge me, or think ive lost my mind...but:

Locked in:

Raps to win division -188...31930/60000 (yeah im a bit OCD like that)...after what i just saw today, i am more convinced this team will run away with their division with the intentions of legitimately pursuing the top record in the nba, in order to secure home court advantage in the finals...wish me well on this additional significant investment...at these odds, i cannot pass it up, and i simply have to trust my gut as well as my eyeballs with this team...this is the year Lebronto cant crush our souls
