5000 Limit This Week Lets See What I Can Do.
This thread is intended for entertainment purposes only, and I do not recommend anyone to take these plays for the amounts I will be taking them. I had a great week last week and have alot of money to play with. With no football to look forward too, this weekend I don't mind if I max out my account early in the week, so I will be going balls to the wall from day one. Lets see how far I make it, until I bust, my over under on me busting is 3 days.

STRAIGHT BET
[1503] TOTAL o106-110 (1H CHICAGO vrs 1H NEW YORK)
2200 / 2000
Your takeing New York -1 1st half.... I like New York for the game as well, I like it.
I think I read it wrong... Your taking the Over 106?
hes taking the 1H o106....straight bet
Chic has been shooting well lately. I like the over and the Bulls 1H and game.
who is "chic"?Originally Posted by jcljack25
i think he menat Chic(ago)
Yea I'm going over 1st half, don't know how good it is, but that is first thing I like, then I have one for 2 o clock, have to wait to see if it hits before i know how big I will go on the 2oclocks.
hey guys...Im new to this site and I am a female who loves to gamble...I know my sports pretty well too. Currently I have 3500 in my bank roll and I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on any nba games today? I am reading the thread about the chi game going over in the first half? Why are you guys going with that?
PittChic that gambles, I would just stay away from this game all together, 3500 bankroll is nice to start, I say you should start off putting 100 to 300 on all of the games you like not taking more then 5 games a day. The reason for this thread is I got up over 35k in the last 2 weeks, so this week is just for fun and a little experiment.
WOw I wish I didn't put this play in now, over under for game has dropped to 208.5, and first half to 105.5, looks like I've blown over half my roll already, unless i get real lucky.
strictly...well congrats to you then. 35 k is amazing...well since you seem to know what you are doing, obviously, what games do you like in the nba today? I usually do parlays or bet first halve point spreads...
Ok I would recommend that you stay away from parlays all they do is decrease your odds of winning. 2 team parlay, you have 1 in 4 chance but it only pays 2.25 to 1 so you can see there is not much value in that.
Secondly don't blindly follow anyone, there are some very good cappers on here, but as with anything people get hot and people go cold, it is your money so the ultimate decision is always yours. I recommend you look at some things that you like, then investigate some peoples records on here and what they have to say about each game. When you agree that becomes a play, if you are gambling for fun and want to take alot of things, maybe put 50 on each, if you are gambling to make profits, limit your plays and increase number of dollars. I haven't had a good chance to look at stuff yet. But follow this thread to see what I like, I'm only allowing myself to lose 5k this week, that way I keep my winnings so if I start off 0-2 my week will be over. I wish you luck, and welcome to the forum.
ok strictly..thanks for the advice...what i have seen myself that I like, is houston -1 1/2 first half...I also like dallas on the money line..what do you think about those picks?
strictlywinners,
don't take all week to make it work. Just take the Celtics in the 1st quarter for $2500.00 and then take Cleveland in the 1st quarter for $2500.00 Then cash it out, homes.
I actually like them alot, Dallas on moneyline is very good value. Sixers have been playing great at home, but to get Dallas at +160 or better, you can't beat that. I can't get a read on that Houston game yet, if you play Dallas moneyline, I suggest you play the spread as well, example 100 spread and 50 moneyline. Nothing worse then only having moneyline then your team loses on a buzzer beater and you get nothing.
Love you Knocker but when I'm up or if I'm up 5k I'm not stopping, only when I lose 5k am I going to stop.
Word to the Wise
Dont follow anyone on these boards #1 . DO your homework and take the info on the boards for what it's worth. If it feels right to you after doing your homework then it usually is a good choice 60% of the time if your lucky. If you follow the boards you could possibly loose everything in a day or make that 3500 into 10K very easy. Start off small bets to get the feel on who actually has the best info if your going to play off of others all the time. You did end up in a good mix of company with strictlywenner. He is good company and won't point you in the wrong direction. Good Luck!
I hope your good at this!
well put it this way, I am more of gambler for profit as you described in one of your previous posts. I like to bet bigger dollars on less bets. Im thinking of 1000 moneyline and 500 point spread..not sure though..gonna research a bit more.
Thanks for the reply carrenzo...since I am now researching, haha, what do you think about my picks?
I really like the over for the game even with the point drop...D'Antoni has brought the run and gun to NY and they will be pressing the issue. I am from Chicago and the bulls can hang around and score witht he best of them atleast early on. So I definitely like the first half over as the game may slow down in the second half. Both the Knicks and Bulls can shoot 3's, so the over is very possible.
Take Over 1h
take Knicks and Over for the game
Pittchic, 1000 and 500 huh, with a 3500 bankroll, a girl after my heart. I think I'm in love, as big a risk taker/idiot as me. I do suggest you start off a little more conservative, atleast on these first plays, I don't see a step out game yet, I will let you know as soon as I do. Step out games, there is maybe 1 a day, it is where the spread is off by 5 points or more, these games are rare and hard to pin point, take it easy until I find one for you that you like. Take a look at CockKnockers plays, he seems to do well in NBA.
haha..ok strictly...ive been really on a hot streak though..i just cashed out 5K a few days ago and I think that is why i am tending to bet a bit higher...Im still talking to people about this game though..i have others telling me just the opposite of what I am feeling, so I am gonna see...
cockknockers is going with the bulls...interesting
If you can't get a good read, then just stay away. Sometimes the addiction takes over and we get caught up in the action, it happens to the best of us. Best thing to do if you have mixed feelings is to just leave it alone. As I said I will look for a real good one for you.
Congrats on your winnings and keep up the hot streak, maybe I'll start tailing you.
Bmaker doesnt have boston or lakers Q bets available ? but all other teams
Whats up Bro...hope all is well with you and your family.
Lets do the OPP stomp on this 1st half Over.
just submitted my pick...two team parlay first half = dallas +2, and chi game over 105.5..risking 1000 to win 2569...crossing my fingers
Good luck today Strict!
Just put in a little parlay for fun not much money.
Dallas+1.5 1Q
Chicago New York 1Q Over 53
Atlanta -2.5 1Q
San Antonio -1.5 1Q
That makes me feel better bout my Knicks pick now
BMW, nice to see you back in the action, I crushed it in playoffs this weekend.
Pitt Chic what did I tell you about Parlays? They are for losers or for fun, small little plays, you are risking 30% of your roll on a parlay, not a good habit to have, if this hits, which I really hope it does, I'm going to take you under my wing, and we will play smarter from now on.
Good luck sports guy, you've been killing CBB lately. I had grind it out last todays, in CBB.
Im keeping my fingers crossed..had to go with what i felt strongly about babe...
finally they seems to be putting up some points under 10mins to go on 2nd... hoping 1H over and you guys win..would hate to see you guys lose such a big bet. gll
