Not 100% sure France makes a deep run.   Obviously Spain is the front runner on that side of the bracket.   I like them over Russia but the home field shenanigans is holding me back.

Not sure what to make of this but in a FIBA World Cup Americas Qualifying game at halftime: Cuba 42 Puerto Rico 35.

Puerto Rico was a -25.5 fave in this one, now at halftime they are -4.5 live.

Glad i missed this one...i wouldve lost by the hook....meanwhile USA is down 40-28 to Mexico as 14.5 pt favs in the 2nd Q...sets up potentially for a halftime wager on the Yanks

I did not bet on that Puerto Rico v Cuba game but there were many many opportunities to get Puerto Rico at plus money on the moneyline during the 3rd qtr when they were down by 10-11 points. 

I guess I just dont trust the oddsmakers take on these intl. qualifier games.  Most of these teams havent played in months, so I just don't think anybody really knows what to expect.  Too much of a risk to take for me.

FYI,

5Dimes has pulled all futures for Lebron and Leonard. 

Not sure why. (They know something we don’t?).

Maybe its because tomorrow LA Brongalos has to let THE CAVES know his decision so the books are protecting themselves from any true insider info?

Maybe...

Regardless this will be a very tense couple of days for my Lebron and Leonard bets...

If Lebron leaves now, he leaves the Cavs totally dead. ZERO assets and not substantially under the cap...It will be a debacle beyond losing Lebron as he would have held the team hostage, not allowing a trade or free agent acquisitions to be discussed and NO assets in return for all that waiting...

esports = nerds playing video games.  having a ton of success betting these so just throwing them out there.  


Looks like he is opting out.....could it be we were all wrong?   Is he really gonna go to LA and try and win with these youngsters?

The opt out is an f-over of the Cavs but not crucial to the signing between the Cavs or lakers as he’d take no less than a 5 year deal with the Cavs.

This though has me worried....VERY worried. Stephen A. I know I know...but still...

According to a couple of owners I’ve spoken to and a few executives I’ve spoken to, Dan Gilbert is known for not being particularly fond of LeBron James. He doesn’t mind the thought of LeBron James leaving at all. As a matter of fact, I had one executive tell me, “Excuse me, I can’t wait until he leaves, because I’ll get my team back.” This is something Dan Gilbert has actually echoed.

How in the world are you monitoring esports. Are you live streaming their play to know which team is better (in addition to even knowing what the fu** is going on in the game itself)...

If so this is sick dedication to an exotic cap!

Sixers PLEASE make him stay East. They are my only hope now as he can’t be traded to Houston now (trade was necessary for cap purposes).

I’m getting sick.

Why the fu** did I get involved in this circus.

THIRD best team in the west if he goes to LA, maybe 4th if the T wolves mature. Why why why....

Lakers dream case scenario:

James

Leonard

George

Paul

Howard

Oh my gosh thats a scary effing starting 5...can Magic really pull this off? Dont really know how he can do it, but he did cure his Aidz with "vitamins" so anything is possible when you have his kind of money.

I recommend steering clear of this FIBA international hoops qualifying round, but Im too bored to follow my own advice.

Favored Brazil (-3.5) is losing at Venezuela.  Halftime score: 38-24

Brazil is now (+8.5) live, but Im more interested in the total which was originally 142.5 and is now 130.5

I can't see Brazil being held to under 35 points in the second half so I think this game sails OVER.

Full disclaimer...so dont laugh...yesterday was my 43rd bday and i placed a really epic degen wager (no esports sorry BigD...just not at your level yet):

Locked in as a birthday wish:

Federer to win wimby

Halep to win wimby

Croatia to win world cup

All parlayed...$28 to win $12,600...i blew out the candles all on my first try so i guess you could say this parlay is a stone pipe lock fellas!!!

Also found out we are expecting our 3rd child, so life is gravy right about now
