Best of luck and continued success this season.

Sounds like you are learning some things through your past endeavors.

Even if they played I'd still be on the Wiz. The Sixers have a very formidable bench.

Why, because they disagree with you?

I know the Sixers better than any team in the NBA, its going to be a blowout tonight. Simple as that

Keep laying the chalk and juice on a daily basis. You will find out the hard way.

you're betting on a team that is on a b2b and not rested. If the 76ers were tired and the wizards were coming in fresh i might agree with you but i think the wizards get blown out tonight. Just cause it's a high ml play does not mean its a value play as in this situation I believe the sixxers would win outright all 13 times. They may not cover but they would win.

BOL on your play though, i'm opposite due to the situation washington is in.

Also philly is 1-1 in the division anyone who thinks they already have it locked up is drinking too much koolaid the schedule they played isn't exactly tough, so as you said the value will come. If they make it out of feb in first place they are the real deal cause feb is a gauntlet for them.

Also you're holier than though attitude is completely unsubstantiated, you have no year to date figures and you are just a poster on this site like everyone else. Congrats you hit on the bucks ml last night, i hit them on the spread and hit the pacers ML, you don't see me on here bragging like i'm better than everyone else. People rarely believe the cocky guy, modesty goes a long way.

B2b or b2b2b it doesn't matter. Have you even been watching NBA this season? Teams on the the final game of b2b2b's are actually 9-5su on the season. This crammed season is changing all situations that you used to wager on in the past years. If you can't see that than I suggest you do a little research.

So by me mentioning my money line wager win from last night in my own thread that I created is now cocky? OK, so i'm a bit cocky. You can call it what ever you like. The modesty and betting smarts are in the wagers alone. No matter how loud you may think i;m speaking in my own thread. All I can do is try to help people see the light on how to wager on value day in and out.

done plenty of research man. This situation does not bode well for washington, maybe you should take your own advice and do some more research. Philly will not be over looking wash, they never do.

You keep saying "This situation" but neglect to tell your side of what the situation actually is. Your on the square side of the betting world. And that's just a place I do not want to be.

I love the guys who think their side is sharp and everyone else's is square.

When the Wiz lose by 22 tonight, how sharp will you be?

Interesting. Hmm... I guess if u hit with such underdog 2nd night in a row on ML - wise guys will get start 2 worry somebody's leaking the info out.
But if u dont - all u did yesterday will look like a freak accident.
I personally want u 2 hit this one 2o as the need in a new betting gurus is great. gl

Like the play, 76ers had the Heat on their mind ever since they got eliminated from the playoffs by them last year. Last game was a huge emotional loss for them. How will they get up for a horrible Washington team?

Sharp/Square does not define winners and losers of just one day. Daily sharp plays will guarantee a profit at the end of the season though. That's a fact. Fade me daily and let me know how you end up after a couple weeks or even a month.

You can have your glory that you seem to be seeking for one day.

I could care less how i look from a day to day basis. I will continue to bet value that I like. If I look good in the process, so be it. If I cause a disaster for the feeding frenzy of the public forum to feast on than, so be it.

It's a good argument for people looking for a good situation for sure. Just don't tell earthWake this as he wouldn't know how to handle this comment.

The situation is they're on a b2b against a team that does not like them and will not overlook them for that reason.

You're situation is that the 76ers ATS is a square bet, you have nothing else to back up your bet except for reasons other people gave you. As i said though BOL.
