replied to NBA Playoff Sunday: Magic vs. Celtics Game 7 - The Last Judgement
in NBA Betting
I'm very disappointed in myself.
 
I would like to sincerely apologize for my perceived arrogance. I truly started to believe that I couldn't lose after winning the way I had been for the past week or so. The Gambling Gods are punishing me and I accept it as I deserve it.
 
Now it's time to come back down to Earth and get back to work.

Good luck everybody.  
 
Just finished cleaning my house and I'm pooped.
 
Hopefully the Celtics can clean house tonight as well.

20-4 in posted plays on Covers (83.3%).

38 winning days, 5 losing days since April 1.
 
Hitting over 75% of my plays since April 1.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The day has finally come. I've been waiting for this Game 7 before Game 1 even started.
 
 
5-0 SU, 5-0 ATS in this series, all posted.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I turned $900 into $30,000 in my first year of NBA postseason betting back in 2006.
 
Last year, I hit over 80% of my wagers over a two-month span during the NBA Playoffs.
 
This year, I'm two straight winners away from once again hitting that 80% mark, while I'm already at 83% in posted plays here on Covers.
 
There is not a person on this Planet Earth who has done what I've done in the NBA Playoffs. NO ONE.
 
I said it before, I'll say it again.
 
 
This is not a hobby, this is my fucking life.
 
 
No 9-5, no collared shirt and tie, this is it.
 
So for me to fail would be to sabotage my own destiny.
 
And that's not happening.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The winner of Orlando Magic-Boston Celtics Game 7 and the series will be...

Sorry Barry
 
 
 
 
C-Webb is one of the greatest of all time when it comes to getting second place.
 
That's all I'm asking for.
 
As long as he doesn't try to call timeout as the ping pong balls are being selected, we'll be fine.

Failure and success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars. But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle.

Can we get a standing ovation, please?
 
 
No, not for me.
 
 
For Las Vegas.
 
 
Incredible line, guys. Just superb.
 
 
I fully expected this Game 6 line to be the biggest line of the series so far. I predicted Orlando to open at -6, and it did. And of course, the public started hammering the other side at a 70% clip. And you know what these ballsy guys at Vegas did after that? That's right. They raised the line to -7.
 
Bravo, Vegas. After some of the weak lines you've put out this postseason, after having Cleveland and Denver backers pretty much shit all over you thus far, after getting stomped the fuck out after Game 5 in Boston, you deserve this. You really do.
 
 
 
But who's gonna win this titanic battle this time?
 
 
Me...or Vegas?

My friend, you are out of your fucking mind.
 
 
I kill you.
 
 
Monty Python is the SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT. And "Monty Python" isn't a person, it's a comedy troupe from England. The best ever. "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was the father of Saturday Night Live. The internet term "spam" was inspired by the Spam sketch from Flying Circus. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" = Top 5 comedy movies of all time.
 
You've obviously never seen real Monty Python if you're somehow referring to Clay Aiken's role in a Broadway play. Go rent/buy Holy Grail and the Flying Circus series. Make sure you check out "Life of Brian", "And Now for Something Completely Different..." and "The Meaning of Life" too. Download them you have to. Funniest, most brilliant, most influential comedians of all time. I'm fucking cumming in my pants just thinking about watching some Monty Python.
 
Oh my god. You've just helped me realize what I'm going to spend some of my Celtic scrilla on. Thank you so much. The Gambling Gods must've sent you.

I usually eat my last meal of the day at 10:00pm EST and it's usually 4-5 cooked eggs and a glass of milk.

I wouldn't mind putting that on the line, but I don't think the Covers staff are fans of that sort of thing. Plus, what would I get in return?
 
 
Anyway, I'm already lining up what I'm gonna buy with my winnings.
 
  • Hewlett-Packard Mini Netbook
  • A thunderous Logitech PC speaker system
  • Headphones
  • HDMI cables
 
Maybe some DVD's, a new LCD monitor, exercise equipment. Can't even think of enough stuff that I want to get.
 
I just ate a 16 oz t-bone for lunch. Maybe I'll just buy a couple dozen of those.
 
 
 
You know what would be really funny?
 
 
 
If the Celtics got annihilated tonight.
 
 
 
No, actually that wouldn't be funny.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Okay, maybe a little.

Oh yeah, of course.
 
70-80% of the public is on Boston and the line hasn't budged. Sharp money is sure to be on Orlando. Vegas thinks Orlando is gonna win this game and the series judging by this Game 5 line and the series price.
 
But here's the thing...
 
 
 
They're wrong.
 
 
 
I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I've beaten these assholes at their own game this entire postseason and especially in this series. Tonight is not going to be any different.

For the first time this postseason and in a long time, I'm skipping a day. I'm taking Monday off. This is something I almost never do.
 
 
Why am I doing this?
 
 
Because I want to have the funds necessary to absolutely HAMMER a game on Tuesday.
 
Oddsmakers, you disgust me. This line that you put out for Tuesday, it actually makes me angry. It's a motherfucking insult. I've gotten every game right so far in this series and now you're throwing this softball at me? Are you kidding? I'm going on a goddamn shopping spree after I cash this.
 
 
I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
 
 
This is not gonna lose. I'm not gonna lose. If it does, I may as well just end my life because that would mean that Armageddon is upon us and Vegas already paid off the Four Horsemen.
 
 
 
 
The fate of my soul rests in the hands of these twelve brave men on Tuesday...
