Making strides in figuring this hoops thing out!! As I have said before and will say a million more times, I have only been a football guy as far as betting goes!! This hoops and bases thing is an experiment and I'll see how I do and be ready to play next year!! I hate diving into something without knowin how it works!!
That said, I'm gonna try and get some picks on record here at the forum to see how I'm doing at this thing! I'll play with a fictional bankroll of $1000 and see how long I can keep my head above H2O!!

[YUNGBUCK]

HOOPS ARE BACK!!! Maybe not quite as good as they were when this picture was made, but closer than it's been in YEARS to that level!! I'm pumped......and I ain't watched any hoops besides SportsCenter highlights since 1996-97!!!!

This is what I think about today's games:

707 Cleveland Cavaliers ml +500
707 Cleveland Cavaliers +9.5 (-110)
707/708 Clev/Bost Under 183 (-110)


***All for 1 Unit/Play


GL2A,
Buck

[crazytrain]

On the spread and under with ya Buck
GL T'nite

[tool21]

Under is a solid play. I'm not to impressed with your Cleveland plays though....i think Boston dominates this game.

[JTGAMBLE]

goodluck Buck

[YUNGBUCK]

Thanks guys!
Tool, I hope your wrong buddy!lol
Looks good so far at the half for the Under and the game appears to be close as well!



***SIDE NOTE****
I'm listening to some Old-School Scarface that is cold as hell!!!
Buck is on "Spring" Break from Law School and is Chiefin' and Workin on His Gamblin' Career!!

707/708 Clev/Bost Under 183 (Winner)

Looks like +90 and was a finger-roll away from being +700 on my first day!!!

Anyway:
Fictional Bankroll = $1090

I got so faded from my hangover (And even more from hangover cure!), that I tried to grade these plays!! I forgot that I had posted them before I went back to sleep for my in-game hangover nap!!! I tried to grade today's plays and they haven't been played yet!!LMAO And now, the buck is ready to get back into it for the night!! I DO love spring break!!!

Spurs ML +170 (1.5 Units)
Spurs/Hornets Over 186.5 (3 Units)
Hornets -4.5 (2 Units)


1. If the Spurs lose by 1,2,3, or 4 and total goes over, I'm [down 0.7 Units]
2. If the Spurs lose by 1,2,3, or 4, AND the score stays under 186.5, I'm TORPEDOED at [down -7 Units]
3. If the Hornets win by >5, and the game stays under, I'm [down 3.8 Units]
4. If the Hornets win by >5 and the game goes over, I'm up [UP 3.5 Units]
5. If the Spurs win and the total stays under, I'm [down 3.45 Units]
6. If the Spurs win and the total goes over, I'm [UP 3.55 Units]


I. This may look bleak to some of you, but I think I've got the symmetry where I want it that I feel strongest that scenarios #6(+3.55), #4(+3.5), or #1(-0.7) will be the most likely to happen! And basically, I'm betting that those will happen more probably than will the other 3!! Does anyone understand my backwards logic here?!?lmao

II. The scenario I'm most afraid will happen is scenario #5(-3.45)!! I feel like if San Antonio wins, the game will be a low-scoring affair!!

III. Scenario #2 is the killer at -7 Units!! But I don't feel like Spurs lose a low-scoring, close game to this bunch! I've got it at the fifth most likely scenario!

IV. In my opinion, the least likely of the six scenarios is #3(-3.8), which has the Hornets winning a low-scoring game by >5!! I don't think so!! I think, if they win at all, it will be like a 110-97 game!!



Anyways, that's hoops for the day!!

:+textin b3
Buck........OUT!!!

[tool21]

Yungbuck, i don't understand you taking the favorite ATS and the dog ML. That moneyline is equal to +4.5 (-103.4) and you have -4.5 (-110) so basically you're paying extra for nothing.

You're exactly right!! Basically, you'd think I was stoned or something when I did that!! What I should have done was just make a small play on the SA ML!! B/C I'm basically betting a 0.5 Unit or a 1 Unit Winner vs. a possible 3.7 Unit loser!!
BTW, I had that graded wrong! It hashes out like this (Changes Highlighted in Green):

Looks like a pretty close game @ halftime! Averages out to 182 at this scoring clip, but you always gotta account for end-of-the-game free throws!! As long as the total goes over, I won't get hurt too badly for my stupidity......and could still end up winning a chunk!!

Let's get' em!!

Spurs ML +170 (1.5 Units) (Loser -150)

+$1425 = Bankroll

+$1145 = New Bankroll
YTD Record = (9-8; +1.25 Units)

The thing worked out kinda like a 1/2 Unit Play on NO -4.5
I was really disappointed at the total getting to 180 and SA gave up
on some easy mop-up scoring opps at the end and I don't like seeing
that shit!!! Oh well, the Buck will press on and I'm still 1.5 Units for
these playoffs!!

If the Underdogs go 1-1 tonight, I'll make either +630 or +570 on these plays. Dogs go 2-0, and I'm in the jackpot @ +1600. Of Course, the dreaded 0-2 makes me -400!!
