Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

get that money, don't know if I want Lakers to sign him..would be a great for us but would rather sign Noah for cheap and less years and try to get Cousins in free agency in a few years

Bismack doesn't bring you anything that Bass doesn't over a 82 game season. Or even Black for that matter.

In the West undersized energy bigs aren't as effective as they are in the East, especially in the playoffs

Brandon Bass is 6'7" and can't defend the interior, Bis is 6'9 and has 7 footer length, he'd be a great compliment to Anthony Davis.

I actually can agree with that. I just don't think the Lakers would be able to take advantage of his abilities

hes done well to get a lot of pub he wants out there, and kept a lot of stuff away from view for the most part. his big windfall was owning a piece of some offshore book, that was bought out by another book. most stories will tell you he had his nest egg on the lakers winning, which while he might have scored big on that, was hardly the way he amassed his fortune. i doubt he even bets in nevada the last few years, since its tougher to get down and the feds are all over everyone searching out money laundering/ties to offsore betting rings etc. also ive heard hes scaled way, way back in regards to how many bets he places, because the nba betting market gets tighter and tougher to beat by the year. 5 years ago he was probably still ahead of the oddsmakers, 15 years ago it was probably a complete mint he was making, but its a lot tougher now not only get down big action, but to win. might still be beating halftimes/first halve totals, where i have seen some truly bizarre betting patterns the last few years, but those markets are much smaller than the full game market. getting down like a tenth of what you could to those as a full game side. that hacker/stalker that trolls him has been around a while, thru coulntless betting forums and now onto twitter, but absolutely would have access to what he played. hes certainly bet big and won consistantly over the last couple decades, i just am not sure how much hes actually getting down now, and if hes even ahead anymore on what he does play. cantor in town here used to book his stuff before they got busted and he was down over the course of a couple seasons. and in regards to giving out picks, anyone who actually win for a living would be a complete moron to divulge anything about who they are on, and why they are on them. simply saying what hes on for a couple week period, could lead to someone reverse engineering his methods and beating him to the bets on the good numbers, leaving him with little to no value at all

plus ive seen one of his homes on youtube and seen him sitting courtside at a bunch of games. He clearly has money/connections

New Orleans need to draft Buddy and sign Biz

Noah is fukking awful, fukk outta here wanting him.

Noah is fukking awful, fukk outta here wanting him.

he would be best center we had in a while, and he was awful because he didn't have surgery. He would be the cheapest option, a good locker room veteran and can pass as a big man/defend.

He's done breh, he went on a massive decline to all those injuries and has never been able to finish at the rim and he's even worse now. He's also 30, he'd make for a nice backup but I'd rather get a young, athletic center than old man Noah whose best years are clearly behind him.

I know, I wasn't considering him long term..just saying if we give Biyombo a long term big deal then we are probably not going after Cousins in FA. And as much as I like Biyombo, he is kind of short and very raw at the offensive side. I would take his defense though and would rather have him than Ezili

Interesting to see he lost 230 K on OKC tonight



and he had the under 221 on Friday





I actually wasn't going to touch this game and bet GS ML once it hit +155......At that price point it became a no brainer for me. I'd imagine with the public and sharps all over it that's why it moved to 3.5 (+155)



Yeah I was shocked when he posted this hornets bet. He was trying to prove to everyone that the hacker didn't post his real plays and ended up posting this.

I remember saving it, thanking him for the the pick & asking him a question about his model & he sent me back a dm telling me about how his model sims 2nd halves separately.

I actually learned a little bit just from that pick to look at totals a lot differently. So there's def great danger in giving out your picks. I would have never thought to bet that until he gave that out. (He since deleted it)

so you want NO to spend all their money on Ajinca, Asik and Biyombo?

what the hell am i looking at here? is this vulgarious computer data on how he bets nba games? im very intrigued at this dude and been following him for years on twitter and bill simmons podcast. he sounds like a fukking dork though when he comes on with bill simmons. dude bets a ton on nba games, i've seen his setup at his house when he's watching the nba. he's got like 10 tv screens right next to each other

he plays poker for a living too i think

@Absolut can you give me some more info on this dude? you've met him in real life?

Yeah, he posted that on twitter just to prove his stalker wrong.

He doesn't really give up a lot of info gambling wise but I've learned a lot just from reading his feed and some of the interviews he's done.

There's been numerous articles on him for a while.
Meet the world's top NBA gambler
A Professional Gambler's Take on the Tim Donaghy Scandal
Betting It All On Basketball: A Gambler's Grind In The NBA
Two Plus Two Well The Well: Haralabos Voulgaris (Bob) - High Stakes Poker Pot Limit and No Limit - High Stakes Poker Forum

This is the article that speaks on what Absolut was referring to in terms of him investing in a sportsbook
The Legend of Haralabos “Bob” Voulgaris, the World’s “Greatest NBA Bettor”


He played poker heavy when Poker was going through a boom but he really wouldn't call himself a pro poker player.......although he has played in big poker tournaments (Big One for One Drop [million dollar poker tournament at the WSOP]) has staked people. He staked Daniel Colman in the last Big One of One Drop back in 2014. I don't think they'll be doing the Big One for One drop anymore as it's really not sustainable.


Dude definitely lives an interesting life. I know he was trying to get a front office position at a team a while back but I've always been shocked by the amount he puts himself out there in terms of doing public appearances and podcasts.

After reading more about the 2011 NBA Finals, I'm pretty glad I didn't really watch basketball back then. Sounded horrific for LeBron

hope he doesn't relapse 5 years later
