Jokic screwed me tonight. Still broke even for the night, at least. Could end up winning a bit more.
Hit on 25+ for Bridges and SGA to double up.
Giddey needs to start scoring.

Doubled up on Giddey 15/6/4 thanks to birddog.
Salvaged an 0-2 start on an over Giannis and Lopez totals and under on Chris Paul points parlay.
By the way, something I’ve been thinking about lately. I’ve had a lot of luck this season on betting the over on totals for Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic. But as the season starts to wind down and the MVP race between those three heats up, you know they’re going to be killing it every night. Jokic will want that third straight MVP, Embiid probably desperate for his first, and Giannis as always just super competitive. Not to mention the playoff seeding for their teams. Milwaukee and Denver want to stay on top of their conferences. Denver has been on a bit of a skid lately. Jokic still getting his numbers but Embiid and Giannis might smell blood in the water. That part may not be as significant though.

Let's have a night.
Broke even on day for the 2nd straight day...
Disappointed Mississippi St couldn't pull it out last night and pissed at myself for not locking in Barrett earlier in the day at 26.5 (he of course finished with 27 points/rebounds).
Such is gambling....

I like this. I just locked in Embiid over 46.5 PRA for tonight. And Allen may be out for CLE too. He's averaging 37 points a game alone over his last 5 contests.
For you nerds using "units" as your betting increment, are you using any sort of spreadsheet template for tracking that stuff? I assume since you're copypasta'ing from google sheets you're tracking that way to some extent.

Yes. That.
I just have a column each day for amount won/amount lost. Then each week, I will add them up to see how things are going.
My unit is $20. So I don’t really track (the apps do it all anyway). But when I post, I like to put that down so someone doesn’t drop a full $20 on some 300-1 long shot in golf haha. I’ll say .1 unit, because I’m likely only putting $2 bucks on the at person.

Embiid clears his line in 3rd QTR
Big hitter.

That is a nice one!
Round Robin all these games. $.25 each. Total bets is around $140
Lordy, that's a lot of money on 25¢ bets. What's the possible payout?

Just over $6k I believe.
Who has NBA bets I can tail or is everyone focused on March Madness right now?
I put $5 on the FanDuel boost for all the #1 seeds to win by 11+ at +200.
I’m kind of reluctant on the overs for Jokic and Giannis. A lot of that Pacers lineup is questionable so could be ugly for them. Denver playing Detroit so could be similar situation with how bad they are.
Only two MM picks today (so far?): Virginia and Maryland overs which both lost and no overtime games.
1u Fred VanVleet Over 19.5 PTS
1u Jaden Ivey Under 18.5 PTS
Also did the following parlays:
.1u
Michael Porter Jr 5+ Threes
Fred VanVleet 5+ Threes
Dorian Finney-Smith 3+ Threes
.25u
Michael Porter Jr 4+ Threes
Fred VanVleet 4+ Threes
Dorian Finney-Smith 3+ Threes
.5u
Michael Porter Jr 3+ Threes
Fred VanVleet 3+ Threes
Dorian Finney-Smith 2+ Threes
Is that considered a ladder? It's my first time trying a bet like this.
And to clarify on units, that's 1% of your available funds, right? So it goes up or down based on how much you win and lose? Or do you just use a fixed number regardless of your bankroll?
I'd like to do another straight bet or two but the data sheets I've seen on twitter today aren't super helpful.
My next best play I'm considering is Sabonis Over 13.5 REB at +104.
Have Schenk to be Round 1 leader at the Valspar at +8500, currently tied for the lead. $1 bet could be $86; current offer is $23.60; 7 holes to play.

Dang, I'd probably cash out but hope he holds on for you if you let it ride. I have no PGA bets this week.
Also have same bet with Fleetwood; he is 1 shot back and may be about to tie for the lead; +3800

I was going to say >13.5 rebounds seems steep but he’s done it nearly 50% last 12 games or so. And Brooklyn not a great rebounding team.
