I have one problem with money management, that is, keeping your bets level when it is playoff time.
The NBA is people's bread and butter, just like the NFL, MLB individually etc. I also go larger in the playoffs and I am sure you do to.
This is it for some people, till next November.
Larger plays on well coached, perennially good teams getting points, like the Spurs yesterday, are very solid bets.
Spurs were a tremendous spot yesterday at +2 even before the alleged Curry 'injury' (a complete farce which shifted the line 4 points).
What happens. They give it up all up late. Every last bit of it.
Everyone and their mother knew the Thunder would come to play tonight.
To watch an 8 pt Thunder halftime lead (12.5 with the spread) and a 11 pt. Spurs halftime lead (13 with the spread) BOTH go up in smoke in OT when both were winnable in regulation if either team misses is just brutal.
I wasn't on either game but I could only imagine what it was like to have the +4.5 on the other side tonight.
Just terrible.
Durant misses the final shot. Foul. 2 FT's and you cover and walk away feeling confident as a capper.
Instead he makes it, OT, and for the second straight game the Grizz cover right at the last inch of the finish line.
This is knife in the back with a twist. Then you get pushed over a cliff.
