Shoe, I'm not commenting at all as to other sports, I'm only talking about his NBA picks. Certainly his numbers for NHL and MLB are impressive.Originally Posted by shoebox
However, picking -700 or -800 MLs in the NBA is not going to be profitable in the long run and his picks do not demonstrate knowledge of the NBA.
If you attempt to 'judge' a person based upon one game, it would not be the wisest of choices. Don't try to bring your 'holier than thou'into here - it's not welcome nor warranted - and tell me how to wager. The money lost has no relevance to you, yet you feel like you need to make a point about it. Far as your spreads and/or totals comment goes, guess you forgot about the best bet thread from a few days ago when I listed DEN minus the points which won. One should wager when there is an advantage be it spread, total, money-line, etc and the sooner you learn that, the better gambler you'll be. Next, the day/night is not over so while being down from the BOS wagers is enough to get my attention, I've been down much more this season and continue to battle back. Lastly, you and others are welcome to post your selections, with/without reasons, in here if you choose but do not come in here and try to act like you own the place.
Obviously I know that a single bet means nothing, I just used the Boston ML pick today as an example. Betting large MLs in the NBA is not a smart idea. This is not the NFL where teams have to show up every game. Every once in a while the LAs/Clevelands/Bostons/Orlandos just lay an egg. It's much wiser in the long run to cap games and bet spreads or smaller MLs.If you attempt to 'judge' a person based upon one game, it would not be the wisest of choices. Don't try to bring your 'holier than thou'
As for your wagering when there is advantage, obviously that is true, but then explain to me the advantage a Boston -700 2nd half ML pick has? If all you had to do was pick the outright winner of each game to make money, everyone would be rich.
Thank you shoebox. Some get it, some don't. Others wait for a time when a couple wagers lose and then try to make insulting remarks. Nobody wins every day, nor do they lose everyday. You also need to realize, williams22 and I aren't on the same page and he'll take any cheap shot he can.with tonight's wagers.
For the record, my comments were made before the loss today. This just isn't a smart way to bet, especially when it's clear that basketball is not your strong sport.Thank you shoebox.

Good luck to you in the future, I'm done here.
It is a well know fact that the NBA is not my strongest sport to wager upon, however; each person makes wagers in a manner that best suits them based on what they deem significant/worthy. Do you think I pick every -700 or -800 team because the books lined them up that way? If so, you'd be greatly mistaken. Earlier today had the Celtics either scored one more point and give up what they did, the wager pushes or scored two more points giving up the same amount, I would have turned a small profit from the game. It didn't work out this time. It happens and I've already moved on.
After reading the last few posts, if anyone wasn't sure the BOS 2H wagers failed to cash.
POR -2 (bought to it),
Well lookie herePOR -2 (bought to it),

alright, gotta ask...what do the signs mean?
I wondered when that question would pop-up.
They aren't tough to figure out but I'll go over each portion/section of the ticket.
What are those items?

So putting it all together, we have Suns -3 for 2 units.
Thank you. As you said the ATM is working overtime.Well done Terry gotta love a
and the clover for luck
thanks TA bol on your picks
Suns were -13, not -3. Buying to -3 wouldn't be allowed at most shops and would cost a fortune if it was. You don't know basketball do you?
Good morning Mo2Gotti,
Excuse me! I got -3, one possession, and yes the juice was high but paid it because I thought they'd win, over 95% chance, and wasn't going to drop fourteen-hundred to win one hundred on the money-line when for a little more I could double my return. How I do things may not be how you and others do them but they work well enough for my family, friends and self. Have a nice day.
You're right fsugolf. Also at times I'll useand the clover for luck
thanks TA bol on your picksinstead of

No problem and you're welcome. Thank you and to you as well.

Howdy TA. Nice to see you killing it as usual
With respect to the big moneyline faves / buying points, have you looked into live betting in NBA? You can find huge value in the lines compared to the pre-game lines available. Yesterday I got the Celtics as +120ML dogs (Pinnacle) during the 2H against the Wizards, after the ML closed at around -900 before the game. Patience is definitely required, but because they're making the lines on the fly, there are some pretty soft ones on a regular basis.
