When Brunson missed that second free throw, my heart sank thinking the Nets would spoil the spread and i'm glad they couldn't get one in.

Props to the Nets player who made an unnecessary foul in the last three seconds after they missed that shot.

I always enjoy listening to talkative dealers, but it still depends on my mood because I have moments where I don't like to engage in a conversation and only focus on playing out the rounds.

It is nice to have a small talk with some dealers as they can give off a welcoming vibe, and it can be entertaining when the other players chime in.

If I can't pick both, i'd probably pick a quiet dealer that's straight to the point because there are levels on the side of the talkative dealers.

I agree there are always users who are down bad while playing.

Thanks, and also congrats to buwaytress for cashing his chunky $100 freebet multi.

These past few days have been great except for my NBA bets.  

I guess i'll give the Bet free-6 a shot. I rarely place my predictions there since i'm better at incorrectly predicting the correct scores.  

In my view, this change was a must for Nigma when their previous roster couldn't even beat the other MENA teams like Winter Bear and teams don't have the luxury to wait this season in hopes of improving their teamwork when the qualifiers can be scheduled a few months early.

I don't follow Raven, but I did see some comments mentioning that he initially wanted the offlane role, and he had no other choice since the org already got Gabbi.

The Knicks vs. Nets game is so trappy i'm still taking the Knicks since the Nets were atrocious the other day against the Clippers and failed to close out the game while having a big lead.

I guess it'll depend on who'll fuck up less as the Knicks can easily give this away if the Nets can redeem themselves and make little to no mistakes.



Edit: Another lackluster fourth quarter from the Nets and what a comeback from the Knicks, winning by 5 points after going down as much as 10 points.

I also thought the Niners spread would be the easiest one because of their trends in the playoffs, but the Packers performed like they weren't a big underdog and still kept it close while having a couple of turnovers.

I'm still on the Chiefs and I like the extra points because the Ravens didn't look as impressive against the Texans. They only took over during the second half when the Texans' offense started to lose steam. I would easily be on the same side if they dominated from start to finish.

Bored and sometimes excited because of the sports bet I placed yesterday.

Positive. Assuming I can get a decent win from these games and end it with a profit.

Always in the neutral vibe, I prefer to suppress myself while making bets, and spending less helps a lot.

Annoyed and motivated. Losing gives me a reason to do better and work on the mistakes i've previously made.

Worried and happy. I'm happy that I get to go on a winning run, but I also wonder about the worst that could happen after this.

Acceptance. Understand that I can't always win and accept the luck i've had for today.

I haven't watched any of the recent open qualifiers, but i'll check on it once the closed qualifiers start next week.

We've got some team announcements earlier today.

• 9Pandas got Kiyotaka back
• Blacklist Rivalry removing Raven
• Nigma Galaxy brought in Fbz and Matthew

The L1ga team with Ramzes probably didn't work out that's why Kiyotaka moved back, and Nigma Galaxy now has a better lineup. If it works, they could maybe take over PSG.Quest in the second spot and give Team Falcons a competition.

It was close and I thought the Suns would lose the game plus the spread when the Pacers got the lead. I did have to buy a point as the current spread was around -6.5 when I placed my bet and convinced myself to push it down because of the Suns' bad ATS record.

---

I'm going for the big favorite today with the Sixers -13.5 against the Spurs. I've been thinking between them or the Timberwolves since they're both facing weaker teams and saw their ATS record overall better than the latter.



Edit: The back-to-back buckets from the Spurs in the end cost us the spread. 

I got my cup bets locked in. As much as I like to back both Division 2 teams in each matchup, I have to switch it up with Hhampuz on the other side. 

I've noticed that in the previous cups, there's always a team from Division 3 making it to the finals, and I picked Ulven because the last time someone eliminated me from an official cup match, they made it all the way.

That happens to me when I become greedy, which I get a lot of the time, and it's what usually kills most of the profits I get instead of simply chilling throughout the day. Once you have those quick and easy wins, it could give you a boost of confidence to go for something aggressive like doubling up, and most of the time, it backfires to put you back to reality. It's okay to play the way you want as long as you can deal with the aftermath, and that's where most gamblers struggle, as these scenarios will continue to occur in most of your sessions.

The Bills were so close to a game-winning TD in the last 4 to 5 minutes of the fourth quarter it almost made me think my bet was cooked, but the Chiefs' defense somehow got the stop within the FG range.

The unexpected part was the missed FG from their kicker. I surely thought it would go to OT when they had a good field position.

I'm happy that I finally get to hit a rare parlay, thanks to the Chiefs. 

It took them a while to officially announce his departure and one or two of the players could also leave because that's what he mentioned in his telegram post(reddit thread).

With Kuroky that's probably the last thing to happen when he seems to be the guy that would easily de-escalate those heated situations.

I'm also on the Suns spread (-5.5), as the Pacers would have less firepower in their lineup now that Haliburton is confirmed out.

The Suns might be one of the worst teams in covering the spread, but with the Pacers needing time to adapt after their loss against the Blazers, i'd better go with the team that could take advantage of that.

Some posts above mentioned the budget, and on top of that, you should check the deposit and withdrawal limits of the casino you've picked because, at some casinos, they only accept specific amounts.

Depending on your luck, you could expect your first session to end within minutes or last for more than an hour.

I'd recommend holding off your emotions whenever you gamble so you don't make rash decisions like going after your losses.

Today, we got one of the best daily specials, and it's for the Liverpool vs. Bournemouth match. I already placed a slightly bigger bet on Liverpool's side, as that's how i'm confident about Liverpool winning by at least two goals, assuming Bournemouth can likely score one.

The difference between the regular odds isn't much, around 1.88 via the betbuilder, so it's more like a free odds boost.

There are still two questions left in the spreadsheet, but i'll need some insane luck to hit those two for a draw, so advance congrats on your sixth win. @vivekdkhyani

I need to stop falling for the underdog bait once more, as I always get too confident after winning the previous round.

Weekly Update(link)

Added Dexsport under PNYC.
Moved BC.Game and Bets from OFNP to CFNP.
Moved Rollbit from CFNP to FLUX.

I used to care about it because I also experienced those coincidences from having a hot streak to suddenly going cold. Now, I don't care as much because the dealers are only doing their part and some factors also change during the transition.

As the others mentioned, when dealers change, you'll notice that other players would do the same, and that could be one of the few examples for you to start losing because having fewer players on the table can sometimes shift your luck the other way.

As much as I agree, he probably won't step down since he has the power to do what he wants for the team, but I hope they've already found a decent replacement for the next qualifiers.

They don't have to find a support player with good reflexes when those are better for the core roles. IMO, they need a support player who can influence the team as a whole and maybe become the secondary captain for the team to help Kuroky fix their long-time problems.
