Brooklyn did their jobs tonight. Hoping Brooklyn wins another one and Philly gets out tanked by Washington in their final matchup.

Philly won't win another game at this point. They are not going to give OKC their pick(top 6 protection) which complicates things.

We'll just have to go 2-6 the rest of the way to secure that 4th slot.


Yep...Hammered the money line on Heat at -2.90 earlier today. Eventually moved to around -3.40 or so. Takes a bit of "nerve" to lay that much...but it's pretty much a lock.

Got it earlier this morning (just checked & it was 9:57 AM)...moved all the way to -3.50 later in the day. Not exactly sure what it went off at...on my site. (Edit...almost pulled the trigger on the Wizards vs Nets...glad I didn't)

The front office doesn't want to unnecessarily get in trouble with the league. Zion can play against LAL and/or LAC and maybe in MIL. I expect him to play two or three more games, but they'll be targeted for games we should still lose.

If Zion doesn't play another game, that will be 4 out of 6 seasons that he played 30 games or less. That's just crazy. Even his two "healthy" seasons, he missed double digit games and went into the offseason with concerns.

This just isn't sustainable. I don't understand how people feel comfortable doing this year after year..

One of the reasons that I won't be renewing my season tickets. The management of the Pelicans is near the bottom of the league.

Another bit of line movement this morning on Raptors/76ers game tonight.

Managed to get Raptors -1.90 on the money line around 10AM...now, I think it's sitting around -2.60. I think the Raptors have pretty much given up on making up ground on Nets or 76ers...and the 76ers are in TOTAL tank mode with 2 objecctives. Put distance between themselves and the Nets and maybe even catching up with the Pels...assuming the Pels are dumb enough to win 3 games and give them a chance at that 4th spot.

The possibility of the 76ers totally losing that draft pick if it ends up outside the top 6...has got me riding the 76ers opponent for the rest of this season...or until something takes a drastic change.

Who knows...the 76ers may beat the crap outta the Raptors tonight...but I sure do like my bet...especially with this line movement...that basically made a substantial jump...around noon today.

You are smart to bet against these tanking teams. They are competing to lose, but still it is the NBA and random shite happens. Last year I had a ridiculous run late in the season turning 150 into 2200 and the only thing left to turn my 2200 into 4300 was Knicks ML over Spurs and the Spurs fricking won in OT. I’ll never bet against those frickers again.

What I meant was no betting site says -2.90. They say -290.
So what are you using?

Yep...there's a reason they call it "gambling"...

I've become a bit leery of betting against the Nets at this point...since they can pretty much only lose one spot in the draft order...but the stars have lined up pretty much perfectly...regarding the 76ers "situation". They just have waaaay too much to lose...if they screw around and somehow win almost ANY games down the stretch.

But like my dear ol' pappy always said, "Gamblin' money...AIN'T got NO home !!

So, I'll be sweatin' those Raptors tonight...for sure.

Sorry...that's just the way I refer to it...not the site. Rest assured, my site had moved that line up to somewhere around -360 or so by the time we were posting about the game.

I just happened to get down my bet...earlier that morning...before the basic line moved from around 3 1/2 to around 6 1/2...which, of course, moved the money line also.

For sure...Wish I could find a site that was "off" by that much...in real time. Nothing special about my "site"...it'll be pretty much right in line...with all the other sites. (Just gets down to getting lucky on "timing")

I usually don't like ANYTHING about betting early...especially with the NBA...where you NEVER know who is gonna play or not...but this is a rather unique situation with the 76ers...where I don't really care WHO plays for the 76ers...THEY JUST WANT TO LOSE !!

Kinda hard to lay that -260 on the Raptors tonight...but go ahead and jump onboard with me...NO way they can beat BOTH of us !! (Famous last words)

I had Warriors ML + Draymond 3 rebounds, Dyson 2 steals, Cavaliers +6.5, and Raptors +7.5 parlayed for +103 odds. Looking like all very very easy hits. Bonus $50 bet into $51 cash. The journey begins. It will probably end tomorrow lol.

I got dizzy and passed out...just trying to figure out that parlay. After I woke up...it looked like you won it so...congrats.

Pels winning SHOULD increase 76ers tanking. I'm gonna have to lay some HUGE money line odds taking the 76ers' opponents for the next few games...IF I can even get the bet down. Might have to just bet on point spread instead of the ML...I assume Knicks will be massive favorites on Tuesday, at home vs the 76ers.

BUT...looks to me like Knicks are pretty much "locked in" for the 3rd spot in the East...and stranger things have happened (it IS the NBA after all)...so I'm a bit leery of taking the Knicks in this one...even though I'm sure the 76ers will be doing all they can...to lose.

This is the kinda game where I might well end up getting..."paralysis by analysis"...and end up not playing the game at all.

After the win over Charlotte, I'm worried. The Sixers do still have a game left at WAS on April 9th. We really need them to win that one.

The 76ers are probably the worst team in the league right now. Also kind of surprised how blatant tanking is allowed in the NBA. Hornets just pulled Miles Bridges early in the 4th and he never returned. They don’t even have to try to hide it.

Tonight the Clippers v Magic line is intriguing.. unless there’s something I’m unaware of like Paolo being out. Clippers on 2nd night of a B2B, traveling from Cleveland to Orlando and yet the Clippers are favored. I’d like the Magic straight up. Magic +12.5 is -380.
