Has anyone made any money betting on sports steadily throughout the past year? 'cause I did! See how

 Using some discipline, taking my own look at games and cross referencing them with capers on here, I've put myself up 10,000 in the last 3 weeks since first posting here :) starting with 100.  lets here a PHUCK ya for that :) 

 

 Phixer,..... Regarding my last comment to you. Again there was zero disrespect towards you in my questioning the NY total that day. I simply wanted to see why you liked it under because I liked the opposite, simply to cross reference ideas on it. As you stated myself wanting to be an " Internet attention female" not even close and I will forget you mentioned that :) I pick the games damn well, just not always the 2 or 3 I write down that win for me. Your good, more than just you are here :) I just personally like to read why someone with your record, has a game the way I don't like it. :) keep up what your doing Phixer, king, cp, turbo, lopel, there's more :) I wish I had more time to sit down all day and cap the games. I've got my reasoning on games, and love to come in here and see others reasoning. See if mine fits in along with what's being mentioned. That's what I love about this tread :) . I don't hear lock in here, that makes me feel there's good capers here because nothing is a lock. 

 Like Chicago last night. Good thing to learn on, I don't eer like to bet against a team that's beat the other team handily the last 4 or 5 times they played in either house. That's maybe what many could learn from that one. DONT BET AGAINST A STREAK, one thing I've learned. If you don't like it don't play it. I layed off that game because of the line movement :( when I wanted to play Chi. Kinda like people betting last week for OKC to end Denver's streak. 

 Don't listen to the trolls, don't even respond to them. That's when you've given them the attention they want. Go about business, continue discussions, and lets beat the books together. :) 

To end this, lets here another PHUCK ya for + 9900 in 3 weeks :) PHUCK YA 

 I'm with ya buddy :)

The teams match up well in my opinion and CHI is not a good a team as you may think, ask the Kings who wiped the floor with them. How did the Bulls win this game, because they played better than the other team, yes it is that simple. Would you say the Suns have a better team than the Lakers? stuff happens you move on but not without learning from it and all the things that I looked at before selecting this game are still true today after a 7 pt loss which could have been a lot worse- There are times when you are wrong and you are just making an emotional pick " ohh ohhh ohh I went to UNC they are gonna kill the Jayhawks " kind of mentality but when you do your homework and something unexpected happens you put it in the books as a bad outcome not a bad bet because as long you follow your rules the bet is not bad it is a losing bet or a winning bet. Sometimes you win games you had no business winning is that a good bet, no, it is a bad bet that won. That is how I see it and Matt explained it also. As long as you can live with your decisions and have good money management you will be ok. Do I make stupid bet sure, we all do at times, I placed a small wager on the NCAA yesterday just to make the game interesting without any home work just because I thought the dogs would put up a fight yesterday- and most of them did. Sometimes you bet to make money sometimes you bet to watch the game and make it interesting, I enjoy that more than going to some games live.

Also there was a comment earlier degrading gamblers... If you are on Covers you should not be allow to make the statement, definition of a gamble...

Very well said. Thanks for the kind words, I see you are getting better every day- stay humble, follow the system rules and don't bet every game but do write down and paper bet as many of them as you can.

Mavin good job. 

The game was not a big surprise, it is being blown out of proportion in this thread because most of us were betting it. When we are all on one game (it has occurred before) and we win it does not generate this kind of nonsense.

I have not read all the posts yet ( I was way too busy crunching numbers on NCAA and have a couple of weeks left of that ) however someone will correct me later, has anyone done their post game write up? if so I will see them later as I read, you can say idiot read the thread to the end then comment and you may have a valid argument- however I reply to posts as I go to make sure that I give attention to most of them not just make general statements. 

Thanks for the publicity.. I still wanted to be #10000    

Nice bounce back.

With great power comes great responsibility and I one of them is dealing with people like you- no disrespect but go to "LVTruck or 3ballbomber's threads" (i have no clue who they are) and post there. The mere fact that you are here tells me you also like to follow the great ones here Phixer and King. If you want to buy them out you are doing a poor job of it. 

 they never learn to stay away-

I like how you are complimenting others as if to fit in.  no baiting here.

A good avatar? that is a matter of taste not a matter of right or wrong or good or bad.

"Mavin, first of all i can see from your insult behaviour that i'm right. If i weren't, you'd be igonoring. But this bothers you so much (when people say the truth) that you're into to small details like "is there's another mavin?". WOW"

who said David Beckham is was good looking again a matter of opinion.

Under 100 1H ORL Magic - MIA Heat

My reasoning is this game is going under, and even more in First half, Where Heat usually score less than 2nd half.

Orlando score less 1rst half too

Last meetings : 96-97 (95 pt First half) with Wade 26 pts for Heat and Vucevic 25 pts, 21 rbds for Magic 

Both injuries tonight Afflalo too.

Last 3 games score decrease for both : 

ORL : 85 PPG

MIA : 103.5 PPG

Same for last 3 games 1st half :

ORL : 36.3 PPG

MIA : 44 PPG

Heat is under 8-2 when no rest

LBJ doesnt care about low start according this quote : 

Indeed´line is starting to decrease to 198 from 198.5

BOL Everyone 

Couldn't agree more... 

neat- 

I know is an expression but the heart does not tell the brain what to do- it is quite the opposite. 

I just started reading this thread the other day and went back a ways to read through the analysis, etc (not all 10,000 posts!).  I also took a play yesterday (and won) which was nice.  I really like the analysis, especially the write up on the under SAC yesterday.  That was superb.

I hope that you guys continue to offer insight when time allows as this really helps the guys, like me, who are a bit more a novice at betting NBA.  I think I'll jump on the bandwagon and ride a little while and we'll see what happens.  Hopefully the streak continues.

I think the only thing that was frustrating about the thread was how much airplay was given to Trolls.  If you don't respond, they'll just go away.  They are exactly like children.  Ignore their antics and they get bored.  (If you must respond, just type "TROLL" and everyone will understand why you aren't responding to whatever baiting tactic they are using at that point.

That being said, I will admit that I sometimes find myself on the phone with telemarketers and go around and around with them for pure entertainment purposes.  (Keep quoting them unrealistic prices that they didn't say and insisting they said it....Pretend to put them on hold while I have a fake conference with my dog....make up ridiculously long stories that go nowhere but keep telling them "you've to hear this part.."  So, I do understand that it can sometimes be fun to laugh at the children (read Trolls/telemarketers) while they are doing whatever attention grabbing antic is on their mind.  However, they eventually start to repeat themselves and the convo/behavior simply degrades into name calling from their side.  So, I would say that after a response or two, just ignore them.  They are children after all.  I will set the example and regardless of whatever inanity a Troll potentially says after this post, I will pretend their post doesn't exist and will look past it (can you Ignore people on this site?).

Keep up the great work guys.  Thanks!!

While my mind is not made up yet I think the Grizz are done with their great defense and are trying to focus on scoring, just an observation- 

Wouldn't Gasol being out mean less D and more points for Wizz?

LA Lakers +1

La now coming off 2 straight losses, will bounce back here. Kind of like Chi yesterday, Lakers have had their way with GS in recent past. This is a team that they are trying to catch for the playoffs. Lakers find a way to get another victory here in GS.

The biggest thing about that game that scares me is the fact that Memphis is just coming off a game playing Boston. In history the last five times Memphis has played  Boston they have outright lost the next game. Which would leave me to believe that if Washington can put up points here this might not be a good play on Memphis or under. With Memphis after their last five games allowing 100 points I do believe their  5-0 ats. Somehow I see Washington doing what is needed tonight to pull off this victory and for that total to go over. 

I think we both agree the over on this is a good lean.
