    Absolutely maddening. Every game i play I'm up big and end up losing.

    These top 3 seeds in the East are the most pathetic top 3 I've seen in so long. The Western Conference winner is an absolute lock in the finals.

    Play the middle live when your team is up big, You can't lose and you can win both with almost nothing at stake and it's much less stressful.

    @LVPrince

     I'm not going to go through life betting against myself every time I'm ahead Ive just never seen such a streak of blown leads in the playoffs like this in a while and higher seeds at home just totally unable to win going away as they should be.

    Cavaliers just another punch in the gut, go up by 11 with 3.43 left in the game and fail to make a single shot from the floor the rest of the game and actually miss 2 of 3 FTs as well it's actually insane how bad they play at the end of every half the last 2 games. Mitchell and Harden are the 2 biggest brick layers in crunch time.

    Mitchell is the biggest fraud ever. All I ever see him do is try these stupid driving floaters that never go down.

    The NBA is a clown show bra. Learn from this and move forward. These maggots in LA probably won’t even score 200 points all together as pros.  I’m starting to respect golf players more than the NBA. Bunch of rich youngsters getting their balls drained every night by thirsty hoes.

    @NutinButtLove

     i've had a ton of success taking the teams trailing in games that don't look like blowouts with the points.  i picked up the rockets 1h +7.5 towards the end of the first quarter.  these games are so tight and have lots of swings.

     Toronto led by 10 numerous times. You think you should cover 10 when Toronto controlled game 80% of the game ?

    Well when I had the Blazers and they were +5.5 and up 17 at the half shouldn't I have covered then? Or the Cavs the game before when they controlled most of the game? Or the Celtics who were up most of the game?

    My point is i lost all those games with the script being flipped in the last half. When a team finally seems like they have done it FOR me and not against me, and go up 11 with 3.43 mins left. To then go basically scoreless the entire rest of the game and lose the cover for me again is just nuts. Lose 3 or 4 times to comebacks and then make a comeback finally and still can't cash a damn ticket.

    @NutinButtLove  Toronto led by 10 numerous times. You think you should cover 10 when Toronto controlled game 80% of the game ?

    Well when I had the Blazers and they were +5.5 and up 17 at the half shouldn't I have covered then? Or the Cavs the game before when they controlled most of the game? Or the Celtics who were up most of the game?

    My point is i lost all those games with the script being flipped in the last half. When a team finally seems like they have done it FOR me and not against me, and go up 11 with 3.43 mins left. To then go basically scoreless the entire rest of the game and lose the cover for me again is just nuts. Lose 3 or 4 times to comebacks and then make a comeback finally and still can't cash a damn ticket.

Cavaliers just another punch in the gut, go up by 11 with 3.43 left in the game and fail to make a single shot from the floor the rest of the game and actually miss 2 of 3 FTs as well it's actually insane how bad they play at the end of every half the last 2 games. Mitchell and Harden are the 2 biggest brick layers in crunch time. Mitchell is the biggest fraud ever. All I ever see him do is try these stupid driving floaters that never go down.

    I think he was only suggesting with the NBA where blown leans have become the norm where you almost have to expect it.  Why not guarantee yourself some profit and possibly hit both sides

    Well I almost jumped on the Hawks +45.5 at halftime. Number seemed so insane that I actually stayed off it. Glad i did, they lost by 51. Very surprised the Knicks didn't take the foot off the gas.

    But teams up less than that can't keep their dicks up.
