The Magic had an easy game last night, if they show up tonight they can win. The Lakers have been cold but I am sure can turn it around anytime, if I was betting I would either not bet or take Utah. Utah is a legit NBA Finals team, I think tonight is a statement game.

Here is tonight... Week ends tonight, we meet tomorrow morning.

Lakers minus 4.5, 100$

Spurs minus 3, 100$

Bulls minus 5, 200$

Reverse Closer from last night- Golden St minus 4... "He already hit first half"


The reverse from last night is $100 so the Knicks are big for me tonight. He hits that, its $400.


i like the bulls as does paulie from the bronx , 5 is a big number but they should handle that

orlando can win again tonight , they didn't even break a sweat last night

the knick / gs game is a crapshoot , they are both comimg off of blowout losses , usually the dog is good there

i like the lakers but not eneough to play them

no opinion on the totals

why don't u layoff the bull game ?

cause the line opened at 4.5 and i think if the bulls were that live it would be 6 or 7 not move .5 points.

Obviously they are a good team, but he has been on them for what seems like the entire cold streak.
As far as the Knicks go, they could be looking foward to a Saturady off day and more importantly off night with no game until Sunday night. They only get into LA a couple of times a year and this time it they happen to be their on an off Saturday night. With the game meaning absolutely nothing (for both teams) the Knicks might be looking to leave Oakland a bit early to get their grooves on in LA.

So your saying I might be in a world of trouble in that game?

RockHardTen1985 04-02-2010 07:09 PM

Gales Wizards are hanging really tough tonight... Lead has been no bigger then 7 and its 3 at halftime.

They seem to mail in on many occasions, I personally think that tonight is an idea spot for them to do that again. They will be looking foward towards a big off day/night out in LA La land.

Well thats a big game cause he would hit a reverse but his biggest single bet of the night is the Bulls and Washington is hanging really tough, If I get this one and Pacers stay under, he Cant make a profit.

You know Joseph, as much as you want this guy to get absolutely pounded. It might be good for buisness, if he ended the week up small. Just like everything else whether is sports betting, horses, blackjack, poker, etc people have their limits and you would think after a while he's going to get tired of getting his teeth kicked in and take his ball and go home.

I love West Virginia.
I like Michigan St, they seem to find a way to win.... Butler is a nice story though.

I agree with you here. If he's up $100 on the week, so what? It's been evident from the start he's a losing player, far worse than most that bet regularly, so keeping him on the hook with a slow drain is better than getting pounded because that leads to desperation and vicious swings.

i like west va to dan , but , you have to remember you are going to be fighting the refs here as well , whether people want to believe it or not Coach K will get the benefit of the doubt on the big calls over Huggins

It's an ugly part of the game , but , has to be acknowledged

A team like west va can overcome this , but, i wouldn't feel safe with them until that final sounds

good luck

He made 1000 last night... He went 6-6... He was down 726 so he ends up 274.

Totally agree Marty - the same reason Duke was handed a 1 seed playing the bubble team and the Big East Champs were essentially 7th overall... I'm not betting the game as they need to be 6 points better to over come the inevitable bullsh1t bias... 2.5 is too short IMO... I think they are good enough beat Duke but not playing at that price...

Agree with this too gales. I didn't bet the side because of it. My computer makes Duke a 6.5 point favorite- however I picked WV to win the NC in all of my brackets, might be worth something.

That's not bad. Obviously you can cover that amount and it keeps him around for a while longer.

RockHardTen1985 04-05-2010 07:09 PM

My guy wants an INSANE amount on Butler tonight... I told him he has to bring me 1/3 of it, I cant take that much on credit... He has till tip off, last we spoke he's on his way. I really dont even want to say the amount and Im not even totally sure yet I want to take it, even though I think Duke is easy tonight.

Im scared... And it feels like Im betting cause I love Duke, and the point of me doing this was to take his bets, if he shows up here with what he says hes bringing, Ill have no choice, the GAMBLER IN ME WILL TAKE OVER.

So the whole time, the guy was a shark, playing things to a tee, just so he could make this one big score. Brilliant, and he fooled everyone else on here too.

Tough beat RHT, sorry to see it ended this way. I think you are right, he just got lucky.

He will pay off. keep taking his plays. NBA playoffs are a nightmare.

He'll get destroyed betting baseball, too. Take the hit this week and count the profits in the future.

Joseph did you ever think about laying part of the bet off?

you can fool some of the people some of the time , but , you can't fool all the people all the time:D:D

you should have told him that your guy has a limit per game

It was more of your opinion. You loved Duke so you took the whole thing. If he liked Duke, you would have probably put a cap on him. I told you last week when you wanted to talk him out of games, you can't afford to have an opinion. Last week it would have cost you and this week it put you out of buisness.

Take this advice. You will get your money back. Anyone who chases losses with reverses is a sure loser. Stay with him. GL KP

gales0678 04-08-2010 04:04 PM

rht - get it all back tonight - take the Lakers
