I have never and I mean never fu**ing ever checked for updates on my phone and EVERY TIME I CHECKED, the deficit got worse.
That is IT! 74-40.
This game O V fuc*in E R.
0-3 in the NBA (with a very minor footnote of Chris Paul being a tip-off scratch for Austim Rivers to sink one bet on the Clippers). Otherwise 0-3 is 0-3.
20-10 in last 30 and I can't take these lifeless listless dog it night in night out guaranteed contract players anymore (they gave up 142 to the Kings last night!).

Folks, it doesn't get any worse than that.
Mig these players have even a morsel of pride they will win the third by a large margin.
And mind you, this laker team lost to the 0-19 Sixers.
You weighing the lakers loss to the sixers that was almost 2 months ago so heavily on your decision when that game was pretty insignificant not to mention so long ago and outdated, I bet you probably didn't even watch any of that game and know even what happened down the stretch. Spending too much time on outlier stats and focusing on stuff like that is how you tunnel vision. It also shows how you dont really understand the NBA and random stats that well, variance has a big factor in play. You have to be more mindful of recent games and momentum shifts, that's how you get on a team at the start of their win streak for a nice payout.

You guys should read about "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" first here:
https://www.gamblingfactsandfictions.com/id25.htm
And then try to look at the NBA like a stock market - that is the only way you might make money out of it (and I say "might" because guarantees in gambling don't exist):

Incredibly important advice right here You have to be more mindful of recent games and momentum shifts, that's how you get on a team at the start of their win streak for a nice payout.
. Teams change on a weekly basis. Lakers were god awful last week with the Clippers beatdown.. last few games they are playing with a ton of energy and confidence. Bet on garbage teams, expect garbage results. This never changes. NBA is hard, and you cant pick and choose when to follow this sport. It will kill you.

People don't like to acknowledge the competitive drive in most of these guys, they didn't make it to the NBA without having passion and drive. Also the intense emotions and pressure going on in these games playing big factors and driving runs. Sometimes players zone in and things go certain ways, one team starts hitting buckets the other is cold confidence is landslided and so is the scoreboard. Pretty soon your team is 3 mins into a quarter already down 12-3 with 9 minutes left, ain't nothing but or a short timeout or commercial break between the crowd roaring and buckets sinking brah. Plus, theres always factor X
vtown always wins right?

these so called professionals just DO NOT CARE at a regular basis, even in college players show some life. long season they throw away games purposefully. in a situation like this, you cant cap anything.
NBA = Stock Market.
I said it many times before:

People here seem to go with the same psychology over and over again ... what's the problem to go with "Buy Low Sell High"? You get original line of 207 points and in the game you can get it for 162 points - won't you get it?!?!
https://www.gamblingstories.com/topic/228-17th-of-november-2015-bouncing-back/
Or like this one - INSTEAD of choosing sides can't you choose the TOTAL instead?!?!
https://www.gamblingstories.com/topic/252-4th-of-january-2016-started-with-nba-for-2016/
And if you wanted to pick sides you could choose CP3 - 20 at halftime, instead of taking GS-20 at halftime against Denver - it also had a trend.
I'm not perfect, not a prophet, not tending to be one, I did have losses in life, but I'm just trying to look at the NBA from a different angle, and for some reason 99% of the people here seem to be only interested in SIDES - like who's going to win and by how much (spread) - are you here to play a game that is guaranteed going to dig a hole in your pocket, or are you trying to look at the NBA in the same way you look at stock market?
Why keep on doing all this crap to yourself?

vtown always wins right? There is no human factor in this anymore, it's all made by machines .... 3rd quarter = 67 points, they scored 65 in the entire 1st half!! you think this was by coincidence?
Look at the play by play, how many dunks and layups were scored in the 3Q - this is not about logic anymore, I don't know how to explain it to people in a different way.
The NBA is rigged, whether you like it or not ... you can still profit from it, but you have to stop looking at it in the eyes of the crowd and instead look at it from a trader point of view, as if the lines are stocks you either buy or sell ... !!

Besides my post above about the 3rd quarter ... ask yourself: Is it coincidence 4th quarter in 1 minute they scored 8 points to make the bettors take the "over" in live and get screwed? Is it all coincidence?
Gimme a break if you guys still think the NBA is not rigged ... I'm just tired of arguing with people who don't know how this doesn't make any sense!

It could be refs, coaches, anything ... just read BetRadar.com's document and see how their oddsmakers run the odds in live and they're not the only ones.
There are also many articles in big papers about how the NBA is like stock market nowadays ... but I think I put enough links for reading already.

You can read my entire story in my website:
https://www.gamblingstories.com
I managed to make a net profit of $16k in 2015, most of it came from live betting ... if you would ask me to pick a winner before the game starts each time - it would be a recipe for disaster ... just visit my site or my story specifically and see for yourself all the type of bets I placed:
https://www.gamblingstories.com/forum/5-my-story/
I documented everything that was involved with gambling and until now I'm not a big advocator of doing it.

So you think I capped this game the way I did because the Lakers lost to the Sixers this year?
And what 'outlier stats' did I post???
After reading this entire thread, that is what you get out of it?
I was pointing out what kind of team this is and that is a purposefully tanking team that is playing a guy who on certain nights can't even shoot over 30%, just to serenade him on his way out the door (oh and it solidifies their draft position with a pick they desperately want to keep...how convenient). Byron Scott can be seen in post-game interviews laughing and smirking and reporters poke and pry with questions as to why this is one of the worst lakers teams in the history of their franchise (maybe the worst and that is to be determined).
And you take that as the sole reason for a cap and attribute it to tunnel vision...this from a guy with a sign up date of Dec 2015 and 10 posts.
Yes that poster, here today and gone tomorrow like a fart in the wind, will tell you how to cap people. Even though he's never provided anyone anything on this site, except criticism. And the criticism comes AFTER the game mind you...
Momentum shifts...gosh, thanks for the terminology. I've never head of
that. That is how we will cap this game! Momentum shifts!!!
Kid, go back to bed. You have a long, long way to go before you tell me or anyone else here about capping. It's called a 'miss'. It happens.
Do you think cappers go 100%??? Yes you do. As do the trolls that are exactly like you.
Win win win win win...BUT when a capper misses, you'll be there with your stilettos on to kick him. Seriously YOU are why people jump ship on this site. GOOD cappers jumping ship. And you think in your heart of heart syou are right and provide post-game 'analysis' when all you do is play Monday morning QB?
A respectable troll is here BEFORE the game with a detailed explanation as to why a pick will lose, not after.
Learn how to be a respectable troll!
Oh just to note, in the OP, I was DOWNGRADING the Lakers WIN OVER THE SIXERS last game, not the LOSS (which I mentioned well after the game was out of hand just to magnify what this team is), in the original cap.
Again, have some self-respect and learn how to troll properly.

Well ... here is another reason for me not publishing anything here ... in a few hours this thread would be DEAD and no one would look at it anymore ... because everyone would be busy with the next games to bet on ...
That's why I had to document everything I do/did in a separate website ... I do see some long threads here like CrazyMilkMan's but for me it's harder to follow up with that or to send reference to some of the "mid-pages" in that thread.
And I have to type in bold and big letters because otherwise no one pays attention, and if one person gets the right message I would feel blessed from it.

Well who is the garbage in this game before tip? The Suns or the Lakers?
By your own one-liner, both teams are losing plays!

scalabrine,
People here haven't heard of the term "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" - just forget about those who criticize you ... I don't think what you did was wrong, I just personally prefer to bet on totals ... those who don't know even know what "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" means should read this in full:

Rofl, you are so sour that your garbage bet didn't hit because you did NO research FOLLOWED the misinformed "common" opinion and got your money in on a garbage -EV bet. You say im a "troll" when i'm backing up my opinions with clear facts that can be easily attributed to the outcome of the game, you just spew RANDOM garbage.
You had no friggin facts or reasoning backing up the suns win except for that THEY GOT THEIR behind HANDED TO THEM BY THE SOFT KINGS SO THEY WANT REDEMPTION?? REDEMPTION?? BRO?? This isn't a reason to bet for them its a reason to bet against them, they just had a hard game on the road last night that they are exhausted from and took a confidence loss from, GREAT SHAPE RIGHT!!
You mentioned the lakers loss to the sixers twice in two different posts like it has merits, exaggerating how big of a loss it was by mentioning they had the worst starting record in pro sports history
. "So you think I capped this game the way I did because the Lakers lost to the Sixers this year?";
Ya pretty much, you didn't give any other reasoning for your pick except stupid things like "they will throw for the draft pick(LOL? not halfway into the season when they can still reach playoffs? No)" Other noteworthy info you stated to back your pick besides the 2 posted in this paragraph were; Lakers win at Boston and the suns loss at kings. The Boston game itself was proof that the Lakers are able to make big plays, in the clutch nonetheless. You gave no praise for them beating the Sixers who were on a 2 road game win streak before losing to LA, that streak included a win over the kings 110-105. OH A COMMON OPPONENT BETWEEN THE TEAMS!! SIXERS>KINGS, LA>SIXERS, KINGS> SUNS, BY SIMPLE CONDUCTIVE PROCESS YOU CAN ARGUE LA>SUNS LIKE THEY DID!! You probably didn't even know the sixers beat the kings, as you didn't mention it 
do some research brah and back up your pick with some relevant info PLEASE.

Maybe you are solid in MLB, NFL, or w.e u pick, but the NBA doesn't seem to be ur strongest knowledge field. Don't come at me with bullshit like "im a troll, 2015 fart in the wind, u expect cappers to go 100%". I replied to your post with critic and I had valid points, the tone was a bit rude to be fair but I was tired and it wasn't really my intention(not the case for this post). Man up and accept you had a bad pick or at least come back at me with something discussion worthy instead of posting your dumb tilt non-coherent post.
"By your own one-liner, both teams are losing plays!"
lol not true some of us got the winning side
