The betting thread - who ya got?

  • birddog23
    Thinking about taking LAC +3 tonight at home vs Spurs. This is SA 3rd game in 4 days
  • reclegend22
    The Clippers are intriguing at +3, but San Antonio has dominated that series in recent history. I might do it anyway.

    I got $100 on the Lions ML (-200) right now. Not a great return at $50, but I'd just be very surprised if they drop this game in Detroit tonight and felt it was an easy 50 to be had. Detroit's gotta tighten up its D here, though.

    I said that about the broncos and look where that got me. Never betting like that again.

    That Denver game actually flashed before my eyes right before pressing "place bet" and then I arrogantly did it anyway.

    And what do you know, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson is on pace to set a career record for most wide-open drops in a game. Haha. Also, the penalties, like with Denver, are starting to pile up for Detroit and leading to Baltimore points. I deserve it.

    None of my bets are looking good. But hopefully the Lions will turn things around in the 2nd half... Really just need that CJ TD.

    Also knew I should have taken the prop bet for Justin Tucker over 7 points...

    You got reggie's td. Megatron will get one, Akers will rat some field goals and SUH will dominate this half. Don't you worry turtles.
  • DeyDurkie5
    There's one field goal.

    I really fucking hope so. It seems like every bet I thought about making but didn't is going to hit. O well back to poker it is for me so I can just lose it betting sports.

    bomb to megatron, akers extra point. stop the ravens. bomb to megatron. stop them for a field goal. BOOM. you cover yards for megatron and stafford. You cover points for akers and you get the mega TD.

    I wish sadly all I'm hoping for is that megatron td

    here it comes turtles!

    Fuckin Stafford

    Detroit is such a wonderful sports town. They need one more pro team. Four is not enough.

    And a big fuck you to Mike Tirico for sounding like a fucking clown at a birthday party as he celebrated that game-winning field goal.
  • birddog23
    C'mon Clips!
  • reclegend22
    Looking good so far. Wish I would've gotten in on it. Thought I'd ride out Detroit tonight, which obviously panned out well.

    Tried to warn you.
  • birddog23
    Clips gonna pull it out. I will probably cash out tomorrow while I'm ahead unless I see something I really like tomorrow.

    Put in a whooping $40 about 3 weeks ago, and will cash out at $110. Not a big spender by any means, rarely have bets over $15(most are usually around 5-10) but keeps me occupied and gives me a reason to watch even more sports.

    I actually really like OKC at -2.5 tonight in Denver. Both Lawson and Foye coming back from injuries. Lawson is a little out of shape he even said

    Yeah. Unless the odds are even, I won't be betting all-in like that again. The return is not worth it. Agreed on that.

    Maybe I'll jump on the birddog winning train tonight and put some down on OKC. I don't really like the college basketball options today. Lots of wide spreads between ranked teams and mid-majors. Too unpredictable a lot of the time, especially around holiday time with games taking place in arenas without students and not as much focus.

    Well starting all over again here is what I'm betting tonight.

    10 on each:
    NBA
    Blazers -5
    Grizzlies -3
    OKC -3
    NCAAB
    Charlotte +9.5
    Wake Forest -7
    Toledo -2.5
    Wichita State -2
    Louisville -21.5
    LMU -2.5
    Wofford +19
    Belmont +5.5
    ArkPineBluff/Creighton over 147

    And then parlayed all of then for $1 to win 1800.

    You hit a decent amount of your college bball picks.
