Laid off last night and probably a good thing. Gonna lay in on all 3 games today. First one is an easy one for me no thinking involved  Knicks -1.5. At home and basically a pickem. The garden is gonna be lit, I expect a good hard nosed game that the Knicks pull out. Wolves +2 at home. Home games in the playoffs can't be played down and getting home dogs is an easy one for me. Gimme the wolves Same story on the third game, Atlanta +5. Getting a decent amount of points. I don't expect a sweep in this series. Trey should shine as he normally does at home. Gimme the home dog here. Good luck and enjoy the games everyone. Go knicks!! |

I'm not a huge slot guy but I think of it more in terms of fun. Playing slots that have bonus games that make it more fun. Go in with only the amount you are willing to lose. And don't chase bets. If you lose so be it. Dont make it worse by taking money you weren't planning on gambling with and lose that. That's where things go sideways

Laid off last night and glad I did would have went even either way.
Tonight I got all 3 games in and it goes 2 home teams and one away team:
1) memphis even. I still like Memphis in this series amd not convinced with the Lakers.
2) bucks -8.5 at home. I think Bucks make the necessary adjustments on Jimmy buckets and without Herro in they will need another shooter to come up huge.
3) Timberwolves. Last game was terrible and they played like crud. Expecting a closer game all the way around. I'm counting on a back door cover with Denver winning but not covering.
Wolves folded at the end otherwise would have been a sweep. I'm wondering what the line will end up at for the next Lakers and Grizzlies game. How does ja factor into that. I can't see Lakers winning both at home so I'm probably just going money line with the Grizzlies for the next 2 games in LA. Need to check out tonight's lines still. Love playoff basketball time! |

We gotta remember Lakers is the 7th seed, and Memphis is the 2nd seed in the west right now. I can understand why many people want to see Lakers winning and even odds showing that but remember odds are done based on your bets, so if you bet on Lakers to win all the time, and most people do, then the odds would be better for them to win, doesn't mean they are the favorites.
I still think that Lakers may end up losing this series, after all the seed should mean something and yes upsets happen but they are not the common one. How many 7 seeds have won against 2nd seed and how many 2nd seeds won those series? I bet most of the time 2nd seed ends up winning the series, and there is no reason why it should be any different now.
Agreed. Brooks is doing all this to get under the teams hood. Maybe not Bron but the rest of the team is going to change their game. Ja will be back and I expect Grizzlies to take this in 6 or 7. I just don't think Lakers have enough to win in what is now a best of 3 series with the Grizzlies. First game I think was a wakeup call for them. Lakers are good. Just no depth. |

Timberwolves and Nuggets game of the night. The other 2 were terrible. Wolves played like crap in the first half down almost 20 going into the half and now up 2 going into the 4th. That third quarter was amazing. And even though they gave up the leave at the end Nuggets started tearing it up. One thing I found out is Jamal Murray is completely back from that terrible injury. Dude can't be covered. Gonna be a sick 4th. Sitting on a wolves +8.5 bet. Will give me a 3 for 3 night. House money at this point. Gotta believe the 4th will be even better than the 3rd was.

Too much money coming in on the Lakers. Vegas never loses, I'm taking the home town Grizzlies here. With or without Ja I'm taking them. Ja playing will just be a bonus. I'm still not convinced the Lakers can keep this up. I could be wrong. But betting on a home team as a pickem in the playoffs can never be a bad bet.
Risky bet. The odds of Anthony Davis getting injured or LeBron James getting frustrated are probably higher than most people think though, so you’ve got a shot. If AD and LeBron are playing 35+ minutes though I don’t think the Grizzlies have a chance. We’ll see. The more interesting matchup for me tonight is the Timberwolves and Nuggets. I agree with the wolves being a good game think this one should be a lot closer. Rarely do you get a shot to bet on a home team pickem in the playoffs. And they still win at a respectable rate without ja. Desperation type play always becomes a factor 2. They don't want to go back to LA down 2. It's gonna take a couple people to step up. Tyus has to have a great game tonight. |

I am just curious to know why people favor one Sport over another, when it comes to betting? Is there specific Sport that increase your win chance or do you bet on those Sport for other reasons? I know most people will favor certain Sport, because they know more about the players or the teams and information is power, when it comes to betting... but some Sport are 50/50 when it comes to the outcome of the match. (One lucky punch or kick can make a underdog a champion) Please share your thoughts...  Most likely has to do with their knowledge of that sport. The more you watch and are interested in a sport gives you a slight advantage to know when you shoukd or shouldn't bet. If you don't watch it, you have no way to know if a line is favorable or not. I got to think that's got to be it for most people. |

And now the Warriors are down 0-2 and Draymond Green is suspended in the next game. So might be very difficult to overcome that as he is one of the leaders for this team and then don't want to be down 0-3. The good news is that the series shifts to their home court is Chase center and we all know that they have a good record in their.
Their big 3 will have to step up, they have the championship DNA in Curry, Thompson and Poole and Wiggins.
They just have to work double hard in this series as the Kings is very different now with Sabonis and Fox leading them.
To be honest with everyone and I know that I will be mocked for saying this but I never truly believed that Draymond was a helper at this point. Sure back in the day he was amazing guy, he was the glue guy, everyone else scored easily anyway so he defended and passed very well and that was a great thing, we all remember him getting a triple double without points, that is as Draymond Green as it gets. However, that's not him anymore, he is becoming more and more a liability than asset, and I feel like him missing these games could actually help them out more than it hurts them. Plus, it is just one game right? If they can't win a single game without him, maybe they should not get a win anyway, that would be very sad for them. Draymond not on the floor is not a plus to them. Not to say they won't win but it very much has to do with how good golden state is at home and how bad they've played on the road. Their other options covering sarongs isn't going to be any better. He does more than just what's on the stat sheet. |

Both are skill based yet former is considered sheer gambling while later is not. Fantasy sports has become norm, while on the other hand if people come to know that you bet on sports you'll be met with eyebrow raise.
^ that's my opinion. What's yours? Do you consider both of them same or different?
Way different. That's like saying poker and slots are the same. One you are playing against the house with Odds skewd in their favor, the other you are playing against other people. If you are better at something than other people over time you will win more than they will. It's the whole against the house or against other people that separate the 2. |

My pick for tonight.
Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) vs Brooklyn Nets = First Quarter Win 1,86 Odds.
Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors (-2.5) = Golden State Warriors Win 1,86 Odds.
My last bet lost but, I hope my picks for tonight will win.
Good luck guys.
It's amazing how much golden state gets the benefit of the doubt. They are a terrible road team all year long and they are favored on the road against a quote better team at least by record. Getting close to the end of the 4th quarter but how can anyone bet on golden state favored on the road against a higher seed. I still think they will win the series but no way could I lay in on them on game 1 or 2. |

Dang those are some sweet pics. Was the sale price for that 1/1 piece publicly told? What did you get for it if you don't mind me asking. And lastly did you pull that or did you pick it up off of someone. So many questions! Lol. I missed out on all the fun early on.
I sold the 1/1 Mini Glossy for $6,000 USD which was 1.5 BTC at the time. (Yes, I still regret it.) I originally paid $3,000 USD, so I shouldn't really complain.  Regards, Chris So you sold it for $45k all good 😁 |

The only game here I’m not feeling confident about is the Bucks and Heat. If Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have big games and manage to contain Giannis, I feel like they could make that a close game.
I think Bucks can handle this and I’m more on hesitant on betting to Lakers than Bucks right now since they will play against Grizzlies on the home which we all know Ja is so good. Lebron has a high chance of choking on game 1 on playoffs with the current roster. Lakers just manage to do the win streak run because they are facing teams without their core players available. So literally they are just playing against the enemy team bench player and still they have a hard time on some these matches. Still early on but the Lakers aren't playing too bad. I'm hesitent to bet either way on any of these games in that series. In the other games I got The Suns -7.5 Heat with the points +9.5 And I'm also taking the Timberwolves +8. KAT and gobert should keep this close and not let jokic take over. Enjoy the games everyone and good luck Caught the Miami game with points wish I took the ML but is what it is. Suns right now down 3 and staring down a game 1 loss. My saving grace will need to be the Timberwolves. I'm feeling another upset and really thinking about taking the money line on that game. I haven't looked but the umders seemed to be have hitting more as well. Anyone have stats on on the over/under so far? |

I am aware that DCA is better in a coin you know will last somehow long depending on how long you have to DCA.
DCA is the only means that is easy for me to buy coins. Which altcoin can you recommend for me to start DCAing till halving when the bull run is expected.
I am afraid , that before bull run such coin might have problems. I don't want coins above $100, so that it will be possible to run on good profits if the investment works.
First off coin price is not relevent probably more so the market cap of a coin. But either way if you are looking for a good project that should have a good run up through halving would be MATIC/POLYGON. Project has been progressing nicely and is hovering in a good price range at around $1.15. Either way DCA isn't a bad strategy through the halving. Good luck to you. |

What I meant was that there are sites, sportsbet.io is one of them, accepting bets on the nominees:   Maybe somewhere we can bet on who comes for second and third, but I don't know such places. Those opportunities, imo, would also be attractive. I am quite surprised to see such strong odds for Biden and very unfavorable ones for Kamala Harris. Given the fact that the next POTUS elections are 1.5 years away, there is a good chance that Biden's health deteriorating further making him incapable of participating in the elections. At the same time, odds for Ron DeSantis look too favorable for me. His ratings have gone down like a falling knife over the past 2-3 months and even in Florida he is trailing in opinion polls. But then, I need to admit that he has plenty of time to recover. I'm surprised at the trump odds more so than anything. I think there are some die hands that will lay money on him but I can't see 2024 with him having any real shot at POTUS. I wish we can bet the other way and bet on who we think WONT be the next POTUS. wonder what the odds on trump would be for that. Would be very telling what people really think. |

Knick game day finally here! Been waiting all week. What's everyone think of the knicks/cavs series. I'm a knick fan so I see through different colored glasses but I think the knicks can pull this series out. They on 3 out of 4 during the year and were an excellent road team. I think if they can pull off 1 of the first 2 on clevland they got a good shot. Took the odds on knicks to win the series. Interested in peoes take on the series that aren't fans of either team?
New York Knicks successfully defeated the home team, the Cleveland Cavaliers on their 1st game. Been predicting what would be the outcome of this series and in the 1st game, I favored the Knicks being the underdog and took the advantage of the sweet ML. But I honestly can't deny that I also had some doubts before the game commenced because the Cavs is just hard to defeat too because they got a lot of good pieces compared to the Knicks where everything is just volume. Fortunately, my bet went through as the Knicks weathered the Cavs. What do you mean "where everything is just volume" for the Knicks. The knicks beat the cavs 3 out of 4 times this year. They match up well against the cavs. Mitchell is going to score in bunches but I can't see anyone stopping brunsen. He plays to big for the clevland guards to stop him. I like the Knicks in 6. |

Knicks!!
Just going to say this, jalen brunsen can't be covered in this series. The only way clevland can cover him is with this double. He will bully Garland and Mitchell all series long. Then they threw osman on him lol. Guaranteed they double him next game. Knicks will be dependent on the 2nd 3rd and 4th guys hitting open shots. No way they let JB cook them all series long. Gonna be a good one.

With only light betting during the week with the playin the playoffs are finally here. Have to take a stab at all 4.
1) taking Philly at home -8.5
2) Hawks +9.5. Trey is a different dude in the playoffs between him and Murray they should be able to keep this close.
3) THEEEEE NY Knicks moneyline. Yep Homer bet but I'm taking it.
4) and too much money coming in on the Warriors. I'm taking the home team -1 kings. Think GS takes the series but this will be a tough game. Going against the grain.
Good luck everyone and enjoy!! Go KNICKS!!!
I wasn’t sure about the Knicks and the Knicks and Cavs but there’s no way I was going to bet against the Kings at home. I’ve spent too many years in Sacramento and I know that arena is going to be the hardest place the Warriors have to play in these playoffs. Everyone in that building is going to want to see the beam getting lit tonight. Agreed. Aside from watching my knicks, Sacramento back when c web, Peja, Bibby, j wil were running the court that arena was lit. Golden state hasn't exactly run well on the road and think this is a betting trap game. Gotta think at almost a pickem kings are gonna have a chip on theor shoulder. Gonna be a good night cap to the day. |
