Hit a decent one last night that gets me back to around even for the past week or two. Ended up being an MLB play and I got a bit lucky with it.

We all take rough losses, but some of the losses I've had this past week or two have been frustrating. I boost them up with taking some real longshots for three point FG's and stuff, and then try to go with someone with an even line and of course the "most likely" one is the one to fukk me.

-Lost a +3350 because of one three point FG from Herro. He made one to hit my bet, yet the officials said he kicked out his leg and it got called a foul.
-Lost a +5000 because I put Brook Lopez in for 12 points. He ended up with nine and Doc sat him in the fourth quarter. My fault for taking a chance on him.
-Lost a +1650 because of Lopez again.



Edit: If Curry makes 4+ three point FG’s tonight, then Kawhi will have been the one leg to ruin my biggest potential payout this month. Still need Curry to hit it as I have him in other plays.

Just placed two small wagers with larger payouts. Definitely a longshot, but hoping the Grizzlies and Heat can keep their momentum going while the Thunder and Cavs play rusty.

Grizzlies 1H ML
Grizzlies FT ML
Heat 1H ML
Heat FT ML

+7900


Grizzlies ML
Bane 18+ points
Heat ML
Herro 20+ points
Bam 10+ rebounds

+11325 (50% boost)

First thing to know is that you are likely to lose money. Not saying that as a knock or anything as MOST people that bet on sports lose. It just comes down to how well you can manage your risk. Be prepared to lose, and be prepared for some of the losses to come in the worst way possible. I'm not saying you can't win or be a winning better over a period of time, but in the long run, most end up losing.

Now, with that being said, here are some real basics.


If there are two teams facing each other in the NBA, one team is going to be the favorite. That is why you will see a spread that says -7 1/2 (-110). That means if you take the team that is the favorite, they HAVE to win by MORE than 7 1/2 points. In that example, the -110 means that to win $100 you have to bet $110. That is how the sportsbooks make their money as the other side of the bet will be + 7 1/2 (-110) in all likelihood. The reason for the spread is because one team is the favorite and the other is the underdog. You won't get the same value betting straight up on a favorite like you will an underdog.

Now, if you want to just bet without needing the team you're betting on to win be a certain amount of points or lose by less than a certain amount, you will be the ML (money-line). If a team is a heavy favorite, they may be -500. That means if you want to win $100, you need to wager $500 on that team. If you choose an underdog that is +350, that means if you bet $100 you will win $350 if the team you're betting on wins. That's the simplest way I can explain it.

You can almost assuredly find great YouTube videos and information out there, but that is the bare basics I just posted. Also, DO NOT pay for picks from any "guru". It is close to 99.5% that those people are NOT winning bettors, and it makes zero sense to pay for picks. It is the biggest scam out there. Do NOT pay for picks or a subscription for some "guru".


Yup


Also just like when you watch sports it's the same for betting..sometimes you'll be so hot and then sometimes so cold.

I know it sounds bad but I can't even watch sports if I don't have anything on it

Kuzma as well

I think I’ve bet on him once this year. It’s MPJ, Trae, and Siakam that kill me the most. When it’s Trae killing me, it’s because I take him for points and he doesn’t score a ton and ends up with 12+ assists. When I take him for assists, he goes off for points.

I think MPJ is the WOAT NBA player to bet on. I don’t have many NFL players on a no bet list, but some of the NBA ones kill me.
