    Ok Ranger You can be quiet now since you have nothing to offer. I'm not like someone in here never puts there pick out there but says I'm 3-1 Now let's get my last pick out there . Hey tells you & it loses I did put in under nba under someone else link Lets get this last one College Gambler .Is that better Sidepiece. &Ranger . Oh my god Golden goose said he's got Okc opposite from Baronman . Goose even suggest College Gambler bet it. Me oh my what should I do next , keep bashing Baronman or go after Golden Goose Have Snicker Bar & calm down . I'm taking San Diego st +17/ Gonzaga $22-20. If you ever read. , you naysayers my picks . I never tell College to follow . Goose just ask College to follow I tell College don't follow me ever unless you want to throw $50 on it for maybe Dinner. Go Cavs Go College Gambler . Now I'm little worried because Golden Goose is decent handicapper . Not like you & I'm guessing the other 75% of you have NO $$$$ out there Be honest you 2 how much on College plays & Other plays.Also I very respectful everyone out here . Out

    College just saw your play on Suns I put it out there Couple hours ago Don't know of you read my thread or not . Naysayers giving me static. Just threw San Diego st +17/ Gonzaga small play . We need Cavs to win & cover .Golden Goose going against us I believe he bets real $$ Tdog 25 I doubt .I called him out on it , he's not altogether there. Iove your threads. I laugh how theses guys complain constantly & most have no $$ on theses games Hopefully they are taking your picks . Are you at Sportsbook or home . Some day you might go small on Half time line if it's in your favor . Good luck OUT

    Phoenix Suns +5.5 (-110) $550/$500

    Suns are only 2.5 games behind OKC and no one gives them a shot tonight...  OKC has stepped up even with Durant out but it will catch up to them some tonight... I got the best line in town on this game at +5.5 and we will have a very live home dog in the Suns this evening.

    every covers thread also has OKC and 70% of public on them... Will happily take the home dog at +5.5 with Durant out.

    Lets go SUNS!!

    Hawk- ur suggestion this is a chase play and honestly it's not. I monitor lines all day and I said to myself if the Suns ever get to +5.5 I see enough value to warrant a play on them. Let's go SUNS

    This is the demise of the average bettor, even if they are not a square.

    I'll give it to the guy.

    He probably started as good as he could have.

    Went 2-0 with his $1,100 plays but lost one last night after an unpredictable barrage of three's.

    To me, a tough one to swallow but it wasn't necessarily capped wrong despite the final score. That should give him comfort and confidence, even in a loss. Did it? No.

    Then tonight, it is obvious he knows he'll be 1-1 so after two nights here is what he stares at:

    -1,100 last night and then -50 tonight.

    But what pushes him over the top is the 1/2 pt he bought. That clearly eats at him since the 3.5 will be meaningless when the final buzzer sounds on the Warriors. But he had to pay for it and doesn't get the full $500 he should have.

    -$1,200+ over two nights is a little too much to bear at the moment.

    Then all of a sudden the Suns become very attractive. It could be OKC who could be attractive. It doesn't matter.

    It's now about hitting up the late game.

    Don't we all do this?

    Who here doesn't do this?

    We ALL do this.

    We play the early slate and leave a small window for some late action if things go sour.

    And this is how bankrolls get drained. It is exactly the type of bankroll mismanagement that 'gives it all back.'

    Of course, there is no way he capped this game for hours. Remember, CG said he is picking out the best of the best from a sizable slate when he caps in the morning.

    He picked two games and that was it. Never a peep about OKC/Phx.

    Now OKC/Phx is worth $550. Why? No reason except one. A 1-1 night that he wants to salvage from the vig and 1/2 pt. That's it!

    This game is being bet because it is the only one left.

    But as Vanzack alluded to, today's late game is no better than tomorrow's 8 early games. All he has to do is wait and his menu options grow exponentially.

    That folks, is not good bankroll management and I can't tell you how many dozens of times the EXACT same late-night chase damaged my bankroll, sometimes leading to downhill slide I couldn't get up from over the years.

    Except I wasn't in Vegas...not even close to it.

    CG is.

    The Suns better show up for him...that's all I gotta say.

    I've been an ingame trader at Don Best Sports for about a year now part time on the weekends. We provide all four major sports to only a few offshore clients. We only compare our lines to Bet365, but watch every major book who provide in running lines. You can find major discrepancies on spreads and totals. If you're quick enough their are tons of arbs on money lines each and every night.

    Brandon Knight scores 25+ tonight. The combination of him and Bledsoe will get to Westbrooks mojo. Suns are a very live dog tonight

    Betradar is definitely a must as well. It's faster then some of the books updates out there. I will sometimes see a goal 15 seconds before Betonline or 365 will.

    Wish you luck on the Suns tonight but this is the first move I question so far. I would take my Cavs winnings and call it a night down $100.

    @ Rangerz

    How do you find value in a 2 pt middle?

    You know how many vigs you will lose before you land one of those?

    Way more than you'll profit from IMO.

    suns rolling early...  rarely is it smart to add a game like this but when u see EVERYONE  here on OKC big and the public all over them and u get the spread up to +5.5 against a Durant-less squad it was well worth the play whether they cover or not I am 100% happy with my play, hence that was the reason I made it.

    A -110 middle gets you 20-1. I don't make the bet 5 minutes into the game. The spots I take them, I have a better than 20-1 chance to hit. I'll just put it that way.

    Don't say it to yourself. SAY IT TO US. Goes to credibility. You say you got TWO games. You give the amounts/spreads/leans/angles for each play. If you just mention it up front, nobody, not even Scal, can complain.

    Even if you went 2-0, and decide to bet a third game, it looks bad. But when you go 1-1, AND THEN you get a bright idea to bet another game, we start to doubt your "discipline" and start thinking "You know, Scalabrine may have a point"

    Here's a sure bet: You don't want that, right? You say it's not a chase, then don't make it look like one.................

    Hawk think whatever it is that u want. Is it my responsibility to post all my plays to u guys by 11am pacific? Like I said I saw all of covers on okc, 70% of public on them and I obviously looked at the whole card this am and I said to myself if this one hits +5.5 I'm taking it. And I'm glad I did suns up 11 in first quarter. Solid start
