Thank you for the kind words folks .... now let's nail this bet .... I get more enjoyment out of the discussions that follow and the sharing of information for or against than the actual rush of winning the bet sometimes ... although I wuld rather have the 3 grand if this bet wins.
That's what providing rationale does... it lets people know why you like a game and it opens the door for discussion.
Covers has some of the best minds in handicapping... too many to name and I don't want to name any for fear I might leave someone out. However, writing these things is time consuming added to the fact that they take a lot of time to research properly ... so I understand why many don't write them up. However, providing your reasoning is what stimulates discussion and may point out things we might have missed. Good to see that the jackasses that normally permeate these threads are staying away. Win or lose, if you've known me long enough ... heck, been posting here for 10 years, then you know I have no patience for idiots. Much respect to everyone in this thread.... some great ideas and info being tossed about.
Cheers ... time to walk the dog and enjoy my evening Cigar.

FEVER - I'm hear ya. I was mired in the infantile NBA RX forum (off/on/off since 2002) until someone there last week linked one of your posts.
I love your strong analysis and winning results (...AND WHY...). It's clear that I'm not the only one. If you are ever near LAX, let me buy you drinks
lol ... I apprecaite the kind offer JK ... but in this business one is only as good as their recent results. A poster that gets 2000 reads will see that number dwindle to 200 in a poor run .. which is unfortunate because many a bright mind is here at Covers and they don't get their true props.
I've been betting for 25 years .... you have to be able to withstand the good runs with the bad ones ,, however, unlike many kids that permeate these boards, I would rather give props to a handicapper with proven results and sound rationale even if that play loses than some nut claiming they have the inside scoop on the play of the year.
I will take you up on that offer some day ... I'll bring the Cigars ... you buy the drinks. lol

Cha Ching!!!! Congrats to anyone that followed.... Updated record 5-1 + $10,700.00
I said the game would be decided by 4-5 pnts and that the better FT shooting team would win in such a battle and that's the way it turned out. 81% to 76% from the Charity stripe.... The Celts miss a couple and the Heat make a couple and the Heat win.

JK.... I didn't bet any in game..... I had some unexpected company so I missed a lot of the game. I just caught the last 2 minutes of the game. Nice hit on that in game over though bud!

Nice grab on that moneyline bet Iansc2 ,,,, I really thought long about putting a small punt on the ml closer to game time but decided I'd rather take the points instead. I was conflicted on the ml ... my gut said Boston but I really thought the Heat would eeek out a small win so like I said, I took the bucket load of points.
