Is there a site like Covers for trading stocks? |

I'm looking for the section of Covers where you can sort by RSI Ascending/Descending, sort by best % cappers by league or by all picks, etc but I'm having a hard time finding where that is located now. Or was it taken off? |

2/5 NL Hold Em' game. Min buy-in $200 Max $500. 10 players at the table, I am behind the button 2nd to last to act. Player raises $20 pre-flop, gets 4 callers, including myself. ($100 in the pot)
I am holding King/8 of clubs. Flop comes out Queen (diamond) King (hearts) 8 (spades) First player bets $70, second player folds, third player calls $70, comes around to me.... I raise to $400. The player behind me, the button, goes all in for $428. Two $70 callers both fold, comes around to me, obv I put in $28. Now he's all in and there's no betting action left. Button is holding a hand as 6 - 7 off suit (hasn't shown yet but this is what he has) Turn comes out a 9 of diamonds, river comes 5 of spades. Player catches runner, runner straight. In all my years of playing poker, I have never seen a scenario like this. This player calls a $400 raise on the flop with QK8 showing holding 6/7 at a $500 max buy in table needing runner, runner for a straight... Anyone? |

This scenario would fuck just about everybody.

Niner, Clearly you know better than this. The moral victory of winning a meaningless game vs. the potential loss in losing the ability to draft Andrew Luck is a factor that cannot be ignored. Am I saying that is definitely the case in this particular situation? No, not necessarily. But I do think it adds a variable to the equation that makes capping this game different from other matchups. IMO |

Let me ask you this... Do you guys think the Colts brass want to win a game period, so long as there are other 1 win teams in the field? That's gotta come into play at some point.

VegasJack, nice call buddy. You must have posted 10 times on this thread why picking Carolina was an unthinkable, moronic idea. Have fun seeing your cash go down the toilet buddy.

Really? Your point would make sense, except, we're not talking about Miami Heat playing the Kansas Jayhawks, where we would have spreads of -23 in favor or Miami or more. We're talking about games that are going down to the wire and the last shot nearly every single game. It is in fact similar to flipping a coin (although not exactly), because the way Vegas is setting the odds is very similar to a 50-50 outcome. If one team is +110 Money Line for a game, that is just barely different odds than flipping a coin. Your Kansas comparison is what is ridiculous. |

Yes, Miami will be the favorite if there is a game 7, but there has to be a game 6 win before there can be a game 7. If you flip a coin, you've got a 50% chance of getting heads, but if you flip it twice, your chance is 25% to get heads two times consecutively. Same principle applies here.

Not saying Dallas will win, I said IF they win. Just speculating, guys. That's what we do on these boards.

No way they are -110 heading back home down 3-2. The winner of game 5 in a series tied 2-2 wins 73% of the time, so there is no way they are still favored to win the series.

My theory on whats going to happen:
Tonight, everyone is expecting Lebron to have a monster game. He does. However, Mavs still get the win and Vegas absolutely rakes in all the money pouring in on Miami.
The Mavs stunningly take a 3-2 series lead to Miami and the sports world wonders if the Heat will blow it so the finger can be pointed at Lebron again. Then the Heat go on to win two straight at home and win the NBA title. I really think this is exactly what will happen. Is there somewhere where I can bet this exact scenario? Dallas Win + Then Miami Win + Then Miami Win? |
