The Chef Hires A Servant To Stop The Kang From Ringing: Cavs vs Warriors III

[sfgiants]

they need to put this on the visiting locker room when the cavs come to oakland next year

 

[sfgiants]

Since you're being an obstinate homer of a Golden State fan, I am going to get the 4th quarter gifs of Lebron tearing apart Steph. I will have the game when it is up and you'll debate in a thread. OK?

wait so what you're telling me is, a 6'8" 260 small forward was scoring on a 6'3 guard????????

HOLY shyt!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

This is literally about to be the biggest backfire in the history of the sports

So when Cavs get swept can we agree to run a neg train on you for saying such stupid bullshyt

I think I know where my edge is initially but I'll have to brush up on all football positions specifics and their winning correlations to formulate a winning strategy. If the best bettors only win 50% of the time, I suppose I'll have to restrict my bets and only bet when I'm sure, or else double up my next bet when I lose? Is that what you do when you lose? What do you do?

This is called the martingale strategy......no, you don't want to do this.

Martingale (betting system) - Wikipedia

A martingale is any of a class of betting strategies that originated from and were popular in 18th century France. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins his stake if a coin comes up heads and loses it if the coin comes up tails. The strategy had the gambler double his bet after every loss, so that the first win would recover all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake. The martingale strategy has been applied to roulette as well, as the probability of hitting either red or black is close to 50%.

Since a gambler with infinite wealth will, almost surely, eventually flip heads, the martingale betting strategy was seen as a sure thing by those who advocated it. Of course, none of the gamblers in fact possessed infinite wealth, and the exponential growth of the bets would eventually bankrupt "unlucky" gamblers who chose to use the martingale. The gambler usually wins a small net reward, thus appearing to have a sound strategy. However, the gambler's expected value does indeed remain zero (or less than zero) because the small probability that he will suffer a catastrophic loss exactly balances with his expected gain. (In a casino, the expected value is negative, due to the house's edge.) The likelihood of catastrophic loss may not even be very small. The bet size rises exponentially. This, combined with the fact that strings of consecutive losses actually occur more often than common intuition suggests, can bankrupt a gambler quickly.

Honestly, I don't think you're ready from this conversation.

You should do some reading on the internet and read books like Conquering Risk, Wong-Sharp Sports betting, The Smart Money: How the World's Best Sports Bettors Beat the Bookies Out of Millions), just so you can gain some basic knowledge, and probably use the Coli's betting system to bet with play money before jumping in. It's extremely difficult to beat the juice. It's taken me years to learn how to get good at this and I'm not some big time gambler like Billy Walters or Haralabob.

Breh stop. The "Bron had no help" narrative ain't flying this time.

The Cavs had this game int he bag and let it go. If CLE pulls this one out we're talking about how great Bron is but they didn't so don't flip the narrative now that they lost.

Word...these teams match up pretty evenly

LeBron had 39 points. KD had 31 points IIRC.
Kyrie had 38 points. Steph had 26 points.

Here's where the problem starts.

Klay is their 3rd option and had 30 points.
Kevin Love is the Cavs 3rd option and only had 9 points. Now he did have 13 rebounds and 6 steals but, the Cavs need more production from their 3rd option. Kevin Love is of equal talent to Klay but, he's not playing like it offensively.

Then there's Dray & Tristan Thompson.

Dray had 8 or 9 points IIRC and some defensive stops.
Tristan had ZERO points. ZERO. JR Smith isn't even counted on to be a 3rd or a 4th option but he put up more points than TT & Kevin Love. When Golden State got three guys putting up 30 points, Cleveland needs Love to step up and have a 25 point game too to help out LeBron & Kyrie and they need Tristan to be a beast down low but, it's not happening.

 

[Izanami]

And to think nikkas wanted KD to stay in OKC and play another year with that ball hogging ninja turtle

I think people wanted Durant to join a team he didn't choke away a 3-1 lead to. KD doing this with any other team would be universaly saluted. Him doing this with a warriors team that went to back to back finals and broke the season record isn't as impressive to me.

HOLY shyt!!!!!!!!!!

I was just responding to @Izanami who implied Lebron didn't go at Steph in the 4th quarter. Don't blame me for answering the question; blame @Izanami for asking such a foolish one. If even you know Lebron breezes past Steph like a blade of grass, why shouldn't he? Counsel your fellow Golden State fans for their blind homerism, not me for correcting them.

Thanks for the informative link. You're right I'm still a tyro (beginner) on sports betting and gambling in general. I'll read some books and articles on gambling strategies like you say. The Coli's systems should help me like stock bettors use paper stocks to practice. I'm learning fantasy football and will use that as a launching tool tool.

LeBron thought Korver was gonna give him that Ray Allen special.

Not this time bruh.

 

[Bilz]

The funny thing is that if he had missed that shot, every stupid talking head on TV would be ripping Durants shot selection.

Korver was a monumentally poor acquisition. He's just a body on the floor. I have no idea how he was so good in Atlanta but I know why Atlanta threw him in the so readily.

that 3 was nasty

Klay is a better player than Love. Stop it

 

[Brief Keef]

WHERE IS DURANT???
Oh yea it's a close game.

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

End of the day KD hit a critical three in front of Lebron in the NBA Finals against the defense Lebron chose to play. That goes in the record books.

Got to live with the decision. Everything else is would'ves, could'ves and what ifs.

Kobe and Jordan never had to guard anybody like that, because they were that to the players that had to guard them.

i keep tellling nikkas the same thing when they bring up excuses oh Jordan/Kobe never faced a team like this etc etc yeah Cause this dude made sure his team was the best team in the league.
