Ah, the old no show

Seems like every team does it once in a series and of course I expected OKC to show up

3 dimensional gambling

Yep

@StraightWagers

 OKC. is losing. I hope they come back

This is how you rig it. You lull every bettor into thinking BOTH teams will compete. Then 1 team mails it in. Did anyone, anyone factor “will this team mail this one in?” Into their thinking? No. That is how you rig sports. How many teams have “mailed it in” these playoffs? I count 5 now. Did David Robinson, Michael Jordan , Karl Malone ever mail it in in a playoff game? New era with gambling money. 3 dimensional gambling to succeed.

Not only do you have to cap the game you then have to ask, is this a spot where 1 team will actually give up and wave the white flag? On the bright side, I’ve added that question to my capping which is surreal to have to do now.

Guess Indy is going to be taken to the woodshed next game

Stand by Mr. President, I’m trying to determine when a #1 seed who dominated first 2 games was down by 30 1st half… got my lab working 

bee bop bling whir....got it = ZERO 

That also applies to zero come back when leaading by 14 towards the end of the game.

Good job

@StraightWagers

 Hardly an uncommon phenomenon in pro sports that one team kills the other any given game.

Straight, dont know how old you are, but trust me on this. You are better off putting your money into a fund and if it only got you a 4 percent return (which am just throwing out a low number, long tern you should easily hit 10 percent) and add money each week and in 30 years you will have more money then you can ever win gambling and with alot less stress and more time to do other things.  I wish that i would have realized this 45 years ago when i placed my first bet. Am too old to stop now, theres really no point for me, but young gamblers do not have any chance in todays gambling environment.  Just about every way i learned how to handicap, really doesnt work anymore.  Sometimes i say that i should just flip a coin. I wish that i had other hobbies, i would stop in a heart beat.   Todays athletes make so much money, they are constantly taking days off.  They really dont have that hungry look in their eyes anymore. Old days players had to keep playing hard for that next contract to get bigger.  Now these players get such big contracts, they really dont have to worry about their next contracts, on top of all that endorsement money.  Why give 100 percent every day?

Thanks Kool-Aid, I used to hate you but now not as much. Your post makes sense.

It's gambling

isn't G4 the biggest UNDER of all time like 98-88 type of game for Thunder/Wolves? 

Every time some sucker makes a bad bet on this site they want to blame some other boogeyman. It's your own fault you keep capping off last game, the NBA playoffs have always been back and forth affairs that's why they play best of 7.

In general teams down 0-2 coming home are a decent bet. You have to remember the Wolves were in the conf finals last season and OKC did have a 7 game series last time, it makes total sense they would relax a bit here up 2-0.

I may be dumb but I'm not a sucker, careful you don't overstep

@StraightWagers

 No one said you were dumb; I commented because of your use of the word "rig" which indicated a lack of grasp. 

When you thought you've seen it all, then there is this lol. #1 seed losing to a #6 seed by 42 pts, unprecedented. I'd figure Wolves would put up a fight down 0-2 and Wolves were the right side but OKC totally mailed it in tonight. Doesn't happen in the old NBA where teams keep fighting until the clock hits triple zeros no matter if the deficit is 2 or 20. 

NBA is a bad product to watch right now. they'll need MJ as an tv analyst to bring back viewers. The timing is interesting...

wasn't directed at you bells

I don't go into others threads ever w negativity...much less call someone a name, denigrate their bet which they have their hard-earned money on not my style...but when someone crosses the line I will never back down 

@StraightWagers

 No worries.  

Lolll, i said the same thing about the knicks game yesterday and posters attacked me and said i was just mad because i lost my bet on the knicks.  I didnt have one cent on either team.  So in that thread i posted tonights game would be another awful game and sure enough i was right.  Now they cant say it was because i lost a bet.

NBA players today dont give a flying crap about winning and most players just put a weak ass effort into winning.  Their contracts are so big now, 1 contract makes them set for life. 

@cd329

 Giving you a mulligan here; although your second paragraph is absurd.

@StraightWagers

 If your going to get the thunder.  It's on the road they have been very shaky on the road in the playoffs.   That's why I wasn't surprised to see the thunder got beat down 

dont need it.  Obviously you are giving athletes way too much respect.  Sorry but been doing this a very long time and i have seen how athletes have changed thru the years. If you disagree thats fine.  We just have different opinions
