If you bet against the cavs in game 6 you deserve to lose your entire bankroll
in NBA Betting If you play the Cavs in Game 6 you deserve to lose your bankroll, period. Green = Finals MVP Beware of the Green! |

I am not betting on this game (in fact I stopped gambling) but I was curious like many of you to see how the NBA Finals will develop. Bugot is out - factored in. Cavs have only 2 players - factored in. Cavs are good at home - factored in. Green (Finals MVP) is back for Game 6 - factored in. Last year GSW won 4-2 against the Cavs. This year it would repeat itself. Don't like it? You don't have to. I suggest to all the Cavs backers to stop risking their life savings on this one - the odds are set for a reason. The odds are not 1.02 or 1.01 on the Cavs to win this game, and that is for a reason. Beware of the Green. |

I'm sorry but you got the gambling bug in you, it's fine to have it if you don't wanna get rid of it, but don't be surprised if things can go wrong... If you made enough money INVEST it in real estate, so you won't have to work 9 to 5, and if you haven't then INVEST in your own business ... And if you're truly an NBA expert - then AVOID playing poker by all means, and wait 5-6 months for the next NBA season so you only make money from what you're 'good' at (although I don't think anyone can be always good at betting, there are always times when people fall down). Look at Daily25.com - do you think I believe the owner of the site would be rich forever? definitely not from betting but maybe from selling picks (perhaps you should do it as well).... However, If you're thinking of taking it further by gambling on your future then honestly you're playing with fire, I'm telling you this from an unbiased view, and from having no incentives whatsoever to deter you from going to poker after the NBA - just don't jump over your luck too much, it's not worth it. PS I'm not too sure Game 6 is Cleveland's ... I think they will win, yes, but I wouldn't bet on it, period. |

mgmprofits, You can't deny the fact are being preoccupied with this thing for a very long time - if you find it enjoyable then by all means keep on doing it but I'm telling you from my perspective it's not worth it, the next bet is simply not worth it, even if it's hypothetically 'okay' for the short term - it's definitely bad for the long term, it is what it is. |

I finally realized there was a higher force who could think, who was controlling my games into losing every time. I knew this defied the odds, the odds would be 50/50, but for me it was 0/100....so I finally gave up. I finally gave in. That's the only way to beat it, is to not try and fight it. You must also be one of the 4 out of 100 who can beat the house edge as well. But that combined with MM, you would never ever gamble away 100k in 48 hours. I am glad I learned my lessons on a smaller scale, so I wont ever have to worry about that happening I'm sorry but I just don't buy it. I also personally never hit the rock bottom, I've never found myself in a situation where I lose $300,000 within 48 hours, but I did find myself losing control for smaller amounts. This system is designed to make you lose control, bookmakers know this, they did not build sportsbook for you to bet in the same way you bet on .... and once the NBA is gone what would you do? Wait for the next season? I don't believe you if you tell me that .... you would go elsewhere, bet on the MLB, NFL, WNBA and what's not - am I right? The gambling mind wants you to be and stay in action all the times, you would look for the next bet right after the Finals - and he honest, if you strongly believe in Game 7 - why are you looking to take action on Game 6? Can you not stay away from it? That's the gambling mind. I believe the ones above who told you that more than I believe you being in control. |

THe slot machines are one of the worst bets you can make at the casino. Sports betting is light years ahead of it. It's still not a business for everyone though. From what I hear only 4 out of 100 people can profit long term. I guess I am one of the 4% I just know it's not something I would ever get addicted to. I used to get excited about it but now I treat it strictly as a business and nothing more. No, I did not have any bet on this game. I don't care anymore about the bets, I'm just interested in watching the game itself. You were lucky Bogut got injured in the 3rd quarter (if you believe they both played their best) or just had the right prediction (if you believe in NBA conspiracies). It doesn't really matter, what the guys above said is right. And you can be among the 4% for a while, the 4% can easily shift to be one of the 96% (assuming the 4-96% is an accurate statistic and I don't believe such statistics can be measured, especially due to the fact gambling is a 'silent' disease). |

One bad day or just 24 hours of you doing something stupid with your gambling activity and you can all wipe out years and years of "hard work". Gambling is not worth it. |

Yes, that's right. I think mgmprofits doesn't understand the implications of gambling addiction. |

They scored 94 points in the 1st half... The total line was 103.5 for the 2nd half. So they will score 104 points for sure (198 points) but will screw all the over bettors for the full game (so it would be under 205.5) ... So this one would be 198 - 204 points, probably ending with 204 points to give a "near miss" or "near hit" feeling for the over bettors. This league is 100% controlled by Vegas. |

THIS JUST IN: Kevin Love has been informed that he won't be medically cleared to play Game 3. (via @ESPNSteinLine) That explains the Cavs being favorites now? No Love = Cavs Win! |

Even if we forget about the first 2 Playoffs games - The Dubs won against the Cavs 2 times at regular season (they only met twice), the Cavs never won against the Dubs recently. So why are the odds showing a "roll of the dice" for betting on the Dubs? Just because they play at Cleveland? It still doesn't make sense ... is this game really going to end like a roulette? I'm seriously struggling to understand the odds here ... I don't believe in "free gifts" from the oddsmakers so I don't understand why betting on the Dubs pays out so much?! |

Duder, see post #7 of yours here: https://www.covers.com/postingforum/POST01/showmessage.aspx?spt=22&sub=102284793 That's good logic, so why are you suddenly going against it or encouraging "The President" to drop a lot on GS? It's either game 3 or nothing, I totally agree. Why are you changing your mindset all of a sudden? |
