You got an excellent line. But from what I see with the WNBA there’s usually only one total that’s even close for the night. The rest are either way over or way under. 

162.5, 167.5 doesn’t matter either way. 

Also like the Mercury tonight but it feels like whenever I lean a favorite the underdog always covers. 

Isn’t Breana Stewart out? Not sure if Minny will be up for the game when NY will be without one of their best players.

Don’t follow WNBA closely enough to tell if she’s a good defender, or her absence on offense and defense will cancel each other out. 

I can't believe you guys have a running thread about Trump on here. 

Trump is just flexxing U.S. muscle for the first time, trying to see if he can get any improvement on trade deals. Anything better he considers a win. He has alienated some of our closest allies, but Trump will ultimately cave like he always does. It's an empty threat, and everyone knows it, so people are calling his bluff and it may go on for a little while. 

People act like his supporters think he's the smartest guy in the world. He's not. But when you're the CEO/President you hire people smarter than you to tell you the details and provide advice and options. The CEO just makes the final call. Other than that, the President just makes speeches.

I will tell you that despite not being the best speaker, or the sharpest tool in the shed, Trump is exceptionally gifted with the media. Hence his success with the apprentice, and getting billions of free media exposure to kick off his original campaign. And eventually getting elected. You gotta give him that. 

Milwaukee has zero power, but 98 home runs in 105 games. I've watched a lot of baseball games where there were no home runs. 

I've got Denver +7.5 and Toronto -1.5 for the last two games.

I've been betting the summer league for the past week or so, and it's shocking to me the amount of underdogs that have won SU and all the juicy MLs that have hit every single day.... until today. 

It's a favorites day for once.

Sort of the opposite that had been going on in the WNBA. Before the NBA finals ended, it felt like favorites were covering 70%. Now it feels like a favorite can't cover 8.5 or more to save their lives. Angel Reese has been surprisingly decent as of late. 

The apps don’t report ur winnings unless you hit a 300-1. So they’ll never see your win loss statements. 

If you’re a pro that does it for a living then that sucks. 

yeah +1100 aint gonna get much better. 

sinner is a choker. Proved so in the first set.

if this goes 5 sinner is done.

Alcaraz is on a different level than Sinner.

How do you lose 4 pts in a row? 

At 4-2 alcaraz was +620 to win the first set. 

Sinner first set +100

With Alcaraz at a break point I think it’s a good opportunity to take sinner for the first set. That line seemed stupid high. 

-170 now

Alcaraz +185 to win the match. Seems a tad bit juicy. We’ll see if Sinner can hold rest of the set. 

Most of the games this set have been competitive. Wouldn’t be that surprising to see another break. 

Carlos at +500 to win the first set is pretty high though.

Fun fact, Rafa never beat Federer 6 times in a row. Though he beat him 5 times in a row on 3 occassions.

Alcaraz is at 5 against Sinner. 

Federer beat Nadal 6 times in a row, but at the end of his career. He caught up. Otherwise it woulda been even more lopsided.

Whoever wins the first set is also winning the second set IMO, which means theyd likely win the match.

Very important first set here. Alcaraz advantage serving first. Pressure is on Sinner every game. 

After giving it some more thought, my best guess is Sinner in 4 (Sinner, Sinner, Alcaraz, Sinner), or Alcaraz wins 3-0. 

Of the two scenarios, I'm afraid Alcaraz 3-0 is the more likely of the two. Either guy could win though. 

Usually in a #1 vs #2 pickem I like taking the #2 guy though. 

Maybe Alcaraz will start cramping up mid match. He's done it more than once I believe. Nobody is talking about Sinner's elbow which threw him off against Dimitrov. That's still hanging out there. 

Not a fan of noticeable, early line movement. Sinner has gone from as much as +105 to as much as -125 at some books. 

He is also the #1 ranked player in the world, playing against the #2 and was underdog until this afternoon.

Not thrilled about the line movement, but my play is in. 

Don't think +1.5 is going to do you much good personally. Freakish things happen where the winner doesn't cover a line cuz they have a bad set, but I don't think 1.5 games will matter here. 

Imagine if Sinner had a bad set, and won the match at even money or better, and you lost on a -130. 

Hopefully this is a trap. 

0-40 break pt already
