 I am!

I completely forgot about that...lol

There was a time I was fascinating about movies and box office. I remember when Sex and the City was the n#1 movie at the box office and people here were like "why the f*** do you have a Sex and the City avatar?"...lol

I may have exaggerated, but my count would be close to that. I mean, 23+ years, I had to be posting about 60 posts per day and I think I did that in the first four hours when I created a thread back then....lol. I was a very heavy user when I started and then gradually kept posting less. The forums changed and newer people coming in where driving the old folks out with trolling and such.

@maxwagers781

 These forums were my life. I spent way too much time the first like 8-10 years.

If I had kept posting, I would be at 500,000 posts easily.

It's good to be back.

@TheGoldenGoose

 Good to see Legends from early 2000's still here.

This is great.

My friends!

Yes, it's me.

Yes, the joined month and year next to my picture is correct.

I decided to post for the first time in who the hell knows...

Perhaps returning to my once passion of posting in this heaven website can change perspective in my life.

No, I'm not Satoshi Nakamoto, so Bitcoin price will remain the same.

Update. After four full days, my entire 5Dimes balance has been deposited into my BTC wallet. It took this long due to all US players doing the same. So, transaction went smooth. Will deposit into new book.

GL with everyone.

At this time of age, I only use Bitcoin. It is the fastest way and the least amount of problems (compared to all past years we have to endured for deposit/payout).

It doesn't matter the amount you have now. But if you don't want to use Bitcoin, then a cashier's check is your option. Be prepared to wait at most 21 full days after it gets processed.

GL. 

Just withdrew all my money. I have to find another book to replace it. Thinking about Bovada or BetOnline. Still reading reviews.

I remember.

Good times.

The commercials he did as well...lol

The pick is tomorrow 6/18. It's a solid one.

My numbers have this game at 10.27 O/U runs.

I was going to create a similar thread on this topic. I am looking online to see the best options. Unfortunately, for the rest of us that cannot go to Vegas weekly to submit picks, we have to rely on this service.

I was wondering if anyone has good recommendations. I am planning to fly to Vegas by August because contest rules states you need to subscribe in person with your proxy as well.

Thanks.

Double digit favorites in 2018.

SU: 171-22 (+13.38, 88.6%)

ATS: 112-79 (58.6%)

Why is the line low for 76ers?

Let's see....

- They just beat Bucks in Milwaukee and clinched a playoff spot - Letdown spot in effect.

- They are a solid #3 and have no shot at #2 or #1. (Also, they won season series against #4 Pacers should they finish tie). So basically, this is where they will most likely end.

- 2, 1, and 3 points = Those are the margin of victories 76ers have against Hornets this season with Embiid in ALL THREE GAMES. Two of those games went to OT.

- Hornets are desperate for a win and trying to stay in playoff hunt.

- Sixers are 6-13 SU/ATS on the road after a win this season. Hornets are 13-6 SU at home coming off a loss.

You got sucked in to a trap game.

GL....

And to provide the exact situation, winning teams that are favored by exactly -1.5 are 508-37 ATS. Spurs were the 37th loss. (6.8% chance).

So, what happened yesterday doesn't happen often.

Statistically speaking, that's a very bad bet.

Winning teams that are favored by -1.5 or less win by an average of (+9.45) and cover spread 96.5% of the time.

Yesterday with Spurs was one of those instances that team win and did not cover spread (3.5% chance)

Orlando was in a let down spot and playing 3rd game in 4 nights and no rest back to back road games. The way Orlando has been playing lately and if this would've been a regular rest for them and not back to back road games, line would be around -8 or -9. Opening at -6 was the answer you needed.

Adding:

UNDER 112.5 (Team Total) - New Orleans Pelicans

UNDER 238 - New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets

Games in Denver are one of the slowest pace in the entire league. Pelicans will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights (already 0-7 SU in this category on the road averaging 106.4 ppg. Nuggets are coming off a loss at home. In the current situation, according to my numbers, Jazz should be able to hold Pelicans well under this total and game landing UNDER as well because of it.

Adding:

Utah -4.5

As stated above, I am going to fade the Bucks here. They were the first team to clinch a playoff spot after last night win in Los Angeles. Don't know if they had any locker room celebration. They are flying to Utah to play a team playing as great as anybody. When Jazz faced Bucks on 1/7/2019, at the end of 3rd quarter, Jazz were leading 86-83. Bucks used a strong 4th quarter (winning 31-16) and winning and covering game 114-102. Keep in mind, before this game, Jazz had arrived in Milwaukee with a 7-7 SU record in their last 14 games, just playing .500 ball. After this loss, Jazz have gone 15-5 SU (13-7 ATS). Bucks have played even better (18-2 SU in their last 20), but this team have shown that their defensive efficiency is losing some edge and I don't think they will be on par with Jazz tonight after celebrating playoff clinching spot and playing with no rest. Utah has dominated this series.

I really think this will be a close game and Bucks will run out of gas at the end and Jazz pulling a 6-9 point victory here.

UNDER 210.5 - Orlando Magic @ Indiana Pacers

Two of the best defensive teams face each other tonight. Orlando is the best road scoring defensive team (105.2 apg) and Pacers is the best home scoring defensive team (99.7 apg). If no OT, I give myself a great chance at this number.
