Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the forum portion of covers, but I love analyzing games and I'm a firm believer of rigged/fixed games so I only pick to win. That's why I prefer to bet during the 2nd half of games, rather than before a game starts. Similar to my username, my philosophy is to pick to win, or don't pick at all. Afterall, a slide is better than a loss, and you'll live to see another day. 

Anyways, here's my pick of the day:

Los Angeles Lakers -6.5

The lakers just hit .500 since they hired D'antoni with a 3-1 record with the loss to the spurs in a nail biter. Now that the lakers have settled into the system and the possible appearance of coach D'antoni tonight, the lakers are going to come swinging for that above .500 to show that they made the right choice in choosing D'antoni, and don't expect nothing less. 
Don't get me wrong, the brooklyn nets have a lot of potential, but I believe they still have a lot of work to do to unlock that potential. Joe Johnson's been struggling to get his rhythm and find his role among the team, and Humphries and Brooks are going to struggle to keep up with the dynamic Gasol and Howard who's been producing well. The main thing I believe this game comes down to is the struggles Brooklyn has had closing out the 2nd halves of games. They have a nice 6-2 record, but they've got all their wins from below .500 teams excluding Boston who played without Rondo during their match.
Look for a blowout by the Lakers by at least 10 points. 
Yes, I do believe some games are rigged, otherwise Vegas and books would go broke IMO. That's something that I can go on about forever. Don't get me wrong guys, only fixed to an extent.
And yes, I believe this game will be clear of any upsets, that's why expect a WIN with LAL


Not here to bash you but there are some holes in your capping report...first I want to point out what you had to say about Brooks and Humphries not keeping up with Howard and Gasol...The problem with that statement is that Brooks comes off the bench plus he plays the 2 sometimes 3...he doesn't have to keep up with Gasol and DH...Plus Brooks is Avery's secret weapon off the bench.

So fn gay and retarded. College, sure, can and has happpened. But Pro???? So stupid. These guys have NOOOOOO reason to tank games. And in ALLLLLL these years, ALLLLL these games, NEVER once has ONE player come forward and said I fixed games lol...what is it, the deepest darkest secret in the world????? Wake up fella.....seriously, you sound like a fool.

Yeah thats why Michael Vick was betting 2k per dog fight lmao. A couple extra foul calls or slowing the pace of the game can easily be done by a ref at any time. Just 1 or 2 calls a game can swing 5-10 points on over unders and momentum shifts. Im not saying that the games are rigged I just know how easily it could really be done.

FWIW: I would assume from his 5 solid black stars that neither the NBA or "Vegas" need to fix any games to beat this joker.


Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

I'm not gonna deny I lost my -6.5, but I bet half time at -4.5 (-3.5 whole game) and evened out that bet.

The most ironic thing happened in this game though. The Lakers were struggling to get a shot off and score against Brooklyn's defense during the entire 4th quarter, and Brooklyn was able to make plays and find high % shots, yet the Lakers were able to keep up and win the game. Interesting how they did it as well, the Lakers shot 25% from the field with 3/12 shooting, while Brooklyn shot 35% with 7/20 shooting, yet the Lakers were able to win by 3, or 5 rather (got me my 2nd half win). Of course, I was ecstatic at not having to lose money, but beside that point, the Lakers shot 12/22 from the free throw line versus Brooklyns 3/3 freethrows.

I'm not even gonna say it, if you watched the game you'd know what I'm talking about. If you didn't see the game, the stats don't lie. I said this game should be free of an upset, yet an upset happened in this game. The upset that Brooklyn should have won the game. So Ironic I think it's hilarious. Even though I lost juice. Oh and that foul call at the end of the game on Kobe, ECSTATIC.

cut the guy some slack. you guys turned his play of the day into a debate over fixed games.

haha but while we're here. im a big sports fan and I would absolutely hate the day we are exposed to undeniable evidence that pro sports are rigged. ever since i started betting on a regular basis, I have noticed some things here and there that would cause me to question whether or not sports are rigged or influenced by vegas. i don't want to believe it, but i can understand why a lot of people do. plays like green bay losing to seattle a few months ago dont exactly help.

fixed or not, it will be an endless debate. if you believe the games are fixed, would you ever bet your life on it? i dont think anyone truly believes games are fixed without a doubt in their mind.

if sports were ever revealed to be fixed, i would stop watching.

Lakers win  Nets cover

Seem like you might be a decent capper, some okay insight--but any bettor who says ANYTHING about fixes, eliminates all credibility immediately. Unless we're talking about old school boxing, or some of the smaller market Euro soccer leagues, you're full of shit if you want to claim any of the major US sports are fixed. These athletes are paid quite well to play a game for a living. There are so many things that would have to come into play for 'fixes.' It's just an embarrassing cry that bettors use when they lose, and it makes the betting community look bad. 

If I EVER thought something I loved doing, betting, were rigged/fixed--I would stop doing it immediately. If you really believe it is, then you should to. How would you enjoy betting on something you think the end result is pre-determined, ever? And "I'm just trying to be on the right side of the fix" is such a stupid line, hope you can give something better than that. I'm not taking low blows, not calling you an idiot--hope you'll give an honest response to me.

I have respect for anyone that will speak logically even if you're talking shit. Not saying you are. But to honestly answer your question about why I would ever enjoy betting on something I think the end result may be rigged or pre-determined? For The Money.

I don't know about you guys, and no disrespect to you, but I solely do this for the money. If I was to sit at home and cap sports all day without getting paid out, I would feel like I'm wasting my time, effort, and life away. Being it sports that I'm making money off of makes it all the better! Whether it's a rigged game or not, there's still going to be a clear winner. What I love about sports gambling is that you are in control of what you gamble, unlike a casino, or hold'em even. In sports gambling, it's a straight 50/50 chance from a gambling perspective, but as cappers we get to increase our chances from the control we have. There's always another game, another opportunity, and you control your hand and decide when to put your money down. You're not playing against anyone except yourself. You can sit for a week and when you see a great bet, go big and have a great chance of winning. That's what I love about sports betting, whether it's fixed or not.

As well as the fact that just cause it's rigged, doesn't mean you can't win. If you can figure out what team the game is rigged for to win, you can increase your chances of winning. Can't just complain about it, gotta capitalize and throw a big screw you at Vegas.

To be clear, I don't have all the answers. Obviously right?? But I try to figure shit out, unlike ignorant people who just like to stick with what society believes. Think for yourselves, quit blindly following the crowd, I promise you your perspective on life will get so much better.

Don't take none of this personally dwarfman, I'm probably referring to most of the people on this forum, that I've been in contact with so far at least. 


If you saw this game and feel that the Lakers deserved to win, you're just lying to yourselves. Brooklyn completely shut down the Lakers offense in the 4th quarter which was completely unexpected IMO. This game was a great example of what I've been talking about, and the ironic part was that it was in my favor, but I still lost. It was all in the refs.

I said in my original post that the setting of this game was screaming for the Lakers to blow out the Nets. I exaggerated, but did believe that the Lakers would have played better in the 4th, Kobe missing 2 free throws, joke. Beside that, if you think about it from a strategical business standpoint, the NBA stands to profit much more to have the "Lakeshow" win at home with D'antoni's debut as head coach at home. This was also a prime time game where all eyes were on them. Yeah they didn't cover, but when did I ever say that games were fixed to specifically cover spreads??

You are right, you know Lakers well but the fact that you don't know BKN well...BKN=one of the defensive team right now. Having the Lakers shut down their offense is because BKN is defensive team. That alone should explain everything. If I were you I'll stop blamingat someone why you lost(the ironic part was that it was in my favor, but I still lost. It was all in the refs.)

You. Are. The. Definition. Of. Immature. Ignorant. Imbecile.

No idea how you're considered a Veteran. Oh wait, it's cause you posted 4000 times. Yeah that means something.

Easy winner? I made my bet believing in what I believed the whole game, that the lakers would pull away 4th quarter and win the game. with -3.5 that's an easy way to double my money. Kid I make my money off of quality bets, not quantity. I don't like to spread my money thin.

I could go on and on about why youre an idiot but ill make it simple for you. First off noone knows who the fuck you are, so for you to expect anyone to really believe anything you say (on this site where its 99% bullshit) is ridiculous. Then in your opening post you talk about how you believe the games are rigged, which all serious cappers agree is amatuer and idiot talk. Then you post a play that loses, only to brag about an unposted play that was supposedly a winner. Noone on this site cares about plays that arent posted, EVERYONE is undefeated in unposted plays. So all in all youre 0-1 after talking a bunch of nonsense about how awesome you are.

Get a winning record, count your POSTED plays only and people may start to respect you but as of now youre just another guy posting losing picks talking about how ganes are rigged. Idiocy 101

You must have small penis syndrome. Sorry buddy. I don't know why you assume everything as a pissing contest, but it's pretty annoying. Brag about an unposted play? I don't recall any of that. Supposedly a winner? I said I lost my -6.5 which was all that mattered. I expected a win at half time still with my -6.5. If and when I do post my next pick, I'm not going to say 1-1, I'm not a fake like that. I call it like it is, cause there's no reason for me to lie. All these dudes saying I got 5 black stars. IDGAF. Why you think ima start lying now to save my reputation? You're only gonna cheat yourself, and I ain't interested in cheating myself in a game where I'm only playing against myself. And I never asked for your respect, I could careless what you think dude. But all you bring to the table is all this bull shit. You tell me to get a winning record first before people start respecting me, sure. Does that mean that If I have a 0-0 record or a 0-1 record you should disrespect me?

It doesn't even matter. You're a firm believer that I'm an idiot for believing games are rigged. and I'm a firm believer that games are rigged. That's what it comes down to. Ain't gonna get nowhere. Time will tell. I'm just a little heated and not really thinkin straight. Not gonna let this shit get to me and neither should you.
