I already bet Boston at -2. They've been scorching hot lately, are on a mission it seems. I only bought the 2 points because its saved me in 3 of my 9 bets. I think they should cover 4 straight up, but am playing it safe, Oklahoma can always pull something out of their ass, their crowd should be hyped, it could be close since Boston played last night and the Thunder are younger with fresh legs, but Boston has covered like their last 6

Niice, I like that. Im not gonna start betting yet, I think im gonna wait till wednesday when my next paycheck comes in and then ill be ready to role. But if u continue this roll, I might jump in a lil quicker, like this weekend :-)

GarrettKall said...

yeah I'm happy but would love to start hitting one of these parlays

Ohshz said...

What sporting website are u using?

Ohshz said...

I feel like I shud leave Bodoglife, because u gotta put in 50$ to start, and my account is at 0

Ohshz said...

Nevermind u dont need an initiation fee for bodoglife. Im good

GarrettKall said...

I use mysportsbook.com, minimum is 20. Bro, I started with 30 in my account and am now up to 330. If I wasn't such a dumbass, if i didn't bet all my money on the Steelers over the Raiders after 11 straight NBA winners, I'd have over 3 gees right now. Dude, I haven't lost my money bet this year, 23 in a row, I can't fucking believe this is happening. I'm up to putting 150 on each bet. My goal is once I get to 1500, take out 500, then put 500 on a game each night, which would pay out like 300 buying 3 points. As long as I don't lose two days in a row I should be able to make a couple grand easy each month.

Dude thats fucking sick. I figure now is a good time for me to jump into this since I have a 5 day weekend starting 2maro night. Ill put in 100$ tomoro and as soon as its processed well get it going. It'll probably be hard for me to be as focused as I was before because of my job and my long distant girl, and my working out blah blah. But, ive always relied on my eyes, and my instincts before the numbers. Ill still look at the basics, but I wont have time to delve deep into every minor detail. Im proud of u son 23 in a row! Hopefully, I can help as I really trust my basketball knowledge. Lets get that money son!

Yes, I do want some help. I told you my plan, once I have enough I can start betting some serious money. Just sucks that you need money to make money. If I had more than 30 bucks to start, I could have all my bills paid for in 2010 already. I'm still doing what we used to, one money bet, and one parlay. But the weird thing is, despite winning 23 in a row, I have not hit one parlay yet, not a single one, crazy. Honestly I haven't even been doing that much research, I've kept it real simple, the same routine each day: check last night's scores and read the summaries, check the standings, always keep up to date on teams ppg, point differential, defense, rebounding, to's, etc. But I've kept a real basic approach, I'm using more psychology than actual nba hard knowledge. Out of the 23 winners, I've had Boston 5 times and the Spurs 6, Orlando twice, bucks twice, washington once, cleveland once, portland once, oklahoma once, lakers once, suns once, and tonight i took memphis for the first time and they nailed it, they've been playing real good as of late, are covering almost every spread. I even took Philly when they lost 13 straight and they won by 17. That's why to me its all psychological, I look at every game in one day and try to find one that has no shot of losing. There's really only been 3 close calls, only once did i need all three points and 2 other times i needed 2 pts. ButI still buy the three just in case that one time it doesn't fuck me, plus its alot less nerve wracking that way having that extra cushion. But really, I want your help so I can start nailing some of these parlays. I still only put 5 on them but I do 6 teams minimum which pays out to around 250, i usually don't buy points with parlays. You know my strategy though, I usually only put my money bet on favorites, only 1 out of the 23 was an underdog, phoenix at portland, and sure enough that was the one that I needed all three points. I try to target a game where a home team is favored by no more than 8 or 9, that way with the 3 points they only need to win by 6. I did take Boston over minnesota a few nights ago at -11 because i knew they'd kill them, but i try to avoid high spreads in every case possible. But if i could just nail 1 parlay, i'll be at my ultimate goal, will finally have enough to make some serious cash. I really only spend 20 minutes analyzing the board and making my pick, I've found that too much and I tend to overthink and outsmart myself....

I'm gonna start working out again once the new year comes, my 30th bday falls right after, a perfect time to get back into the swing. I had surgery on both my knees 8 months ago, haven't done any rehab since. Because my first 2 surgeries were unsuccessful, I figured just let my body heal naturally this time, no matter how long it took. Smartest thing I ever did, for the first time in 5 years I have no more pain, which probably has alot to do with making these bets with a clear head. I was also seeing a girl for the last 3 months but we just broke up. It was great for what it was though, exactly what i needed. Don't know how you do the long distance thing, I did it once in college, that was literally the worst time in my life, the shit just didn't work no matter how much we both tried. If you can swing it more power to you, I know I can't. That's why we just broke up, the girl is moving to Michigan in 5 months, so we both decided it'd be better to end it before things got too emotional....I know it seems crazy to think you can bet a whole season and never lose, but i really want to make this work, it's always been my dream, to not have to work and just make money betting on sports. I feel like I'm 10% there right now, as long as I don't be stupid and fuck it up. But I really feel like I'm gonna need to hit a big parlay at some point or else my luck will eventually run out. So for now, I'll tell you as soon as I pick my money bet, then from there we can discuss the parlay. Once I lose, then I'll start taking your advice for the money bet, just don't want to mess with what's been working so far, I'm sure u understand. Good to hear from you man! I got lots of dope cds to tell you about, still haven't missed one cd that's come out, have every one since 94 til this tuesday. I'll holla

Ohshz said...

The long distance is tough, especially now that I moved to NYC theres so much fine Pussy. But this girl is really awesome, theres some serious obstacles in the way but I do love her. I also realize though that I need to be realistic. So im taking it one day at a time, and seeing how it ends up. If it works, thats awesome, and if doesn't im sure ill have an amazing time in nyc and take advantage of all the chicks.

Anyways, I know ur style of betting thats why this is going to work out. We both value common sense, and psychology over pure numbers like Josh spews out. Thats not to say I dont like Josh, I do, and I think he's right more often than not. But I believe he lacks that inner feel for the game. Ill start betting a single bet and 5-6 team parlay. Before the games, well try to collaborate and get a consenus. I totally understand that u wanna ride the hothand which is urself, in the meantime ill just give u my 2 cents on it. Like I said i may not be as accessible as I was back in the day, so if u wanna quick opinion just hit me up my number is 9176138641. Lets do this

Ohshz said...

I did a 3 team parlay.

Washington +8 @ Milwaukee

Portland +11.5 @ San Antonio

Atlanta +4 @ Denver

Put 15$ to get 81.25

I just skimmed it real quick, they all could be wrong lol

GarrettKall said...

I'm so terrified I'm going to jinx it now that I'm kinda changing my routine somewhat. But nevertheless, I checked all the games earlier and took Cleveland -3. I really don't love it, of course the day I hype myself up seems to be the one where their isn't one sure lock on the board for the first time in a month. It came down to either that or SA at -8. The reason I like that so much is because Portland lost Pryzbilla last night indefinitely and Roy got a little banged up late in the game, plus they're already without Oden, Fernandez, and Outlaw, that's 4 main rotation players they are without, they've won all they needed to on this trip, I'm figuring tonight they throw in the towel the 2nd half and get blown out going away. I guess I took Cleveland because the points are so low, first game at home for Sac after a long East trip, those games are always tough, plus I just don't think they can compete with Cleveland, they're just too good. I realize Sac is coming off two impressive wins, one of the most impressive in NBAhistory. But before those two games they did get blown out by the T-wolves, I'm hoping that team shows up tonight, Lebron wants to get the W for some momentum headed into the Christmas day showdown with LA. It could be close though, i'm scared, put 160 on it to win 94. Also did a 7 team parlay, SA -8, NJ -2, Tor/Det under I think 198, Phx/Okl over 212, Den/Atl over I think only 207, but billips is questionable, Houston +8, Washington +7, 5 to win 443

Ohshz said...

I think ull win the Cleveland bet, im not worried. Shit, I forgot about pryzbilla.

Ohshz said...

OMG Roy is out tonight. Im fucked.

Ohshz said...

I was gonna take GS spread against NO, but I hesitated. Shud have followed my instincts. NO plays right into nelly style ball

Ohshz said...

My Washington call was good

Ohshz said...

Wow, im going to win my Portland game tonight too. I need an ATL comeback and I win 82$!

GarrettKall said...

I CANNOT believe what Portland was able to do shorthanded on a back to back at San Antonio, freaking mind boggling, amazing how some games play out. Yeah, the more I think about, Washington would have been hella safe at +10, a game they had a great chance of winning outright. I got to keep an open mind with underdogs, consider betting them on a night like tonight where there were no good favorites on the board. Damn, u almost nailed it, still cant believe the portland score, that team is playing with alot of heart right now

Ohshz said...

Jr Smith doesn't like me very much. 43 points, 10 three pointers. W/o that I win my parlay

GarrettKall said...

HELL FUCK YEAH!!! Whew, bro, I told you I had a bad feeling about this one. Sure enough, game goes into OT, then Sacramento doesn't score the whole OT, lol. The best part is I almost reniged at halftime, was about to say fuck it, had the sacramento +2.5 bet wagered up, happy with breaking even if it lost. But nope, I felt lucky and said let it all ride! 24straight, tomorrow their is no games, I need the day off so bad, bout to have a freakin hard attack over here.

Ohshz said...

I told u, ud win the Cleveland game. A little too close for comfort tho.

Lets get some consensus for 2maros games.

GarrettKall said...

tomorrow is a little trickier because its xmas, the games are being played at times different than what the player's bodies have been used to up to this point so far. I might not bet because of this since I'm only a few bets away from getting to my goal, but I'm gonna wait til tomorrow to look at the spreads. Off the top I think Boston will obviously be a little worse without Pierce for two weeks, plus KG missed last game as well with a thigh bruise. Naturally that has me inclined to bet against Boston tomorrow, but I don't know, sometimes other guys step up, like we saw with Bayless and Juwan Howard yesterday

Ohshz said...

I bet Miami +2.

I know u dont like to bet Miami games, but I just feel like Wade needs to show the world he is still BIW. Hes gonna explode, and this is Beaslys chance to show the world he can be a good sidekick.

Ohshz said...

I won the Miami bet!

Ohshz said...

I like Suns -4 @ GS

I like Lakers -7 @ Sactown

I LOVE the Wizards -3 @ Twolves

Im also thinking about teasing down 4 pts for this parlay

Dallas -4 vs Grizzlies
Hawks -3 @ Pacers
Wizards +1.5 @ Twolves
Lakers -2.5 @ Kings
Suns +.5 @ GSW

Ohshz said...

So i took a single bet

Suns -3 against GS

Then I took a 3 team teaser teased down 4 pts

ATL -2.5 against Pacers
Wizards +1 against Twolves
L.A -2 against Sactown

Then I took a 3 team parlay

Wizards -3 against Twolves
L.A -6 against Sactown
Suns- -3.5

Then I took a single bet that ATL will win between 7-9 pts. Put down $4 to win $22

I could EASILY lose every single bet

Ohshz said...

Washington fucked me

GarrettKall said...

yo sorry for not being around, had to see my parents for christmas, got back late. I took yesterday off because christmas featured too many good teams. Then tonight I had to rush it but said fuck it, took the lakers at -3, lol, I can't fucking believe this, double ot, they were down by freaking 7 with a minute left in the first overtime. Somehow, someway the streak lives on! I got 530 in my account now, it was between lakers and suns, just didn't trust phx, they both play the same style, so it was a game i could picture gs pulling the upset. I took the over though in a parlay, but keep going 4 for 7. I'll be back before tomorrow's games for sure

GarrettKall said...

I'm 4 wins a way from starting my dream, need to get to 1500 then I'll be comfortable. That's 25 straight, a quarter of a way to a hundreds getting to be too stressful though, I need to stop fucking around and make better picks. Should have taken Atlanta, SA, or Utah tonight, I got lucky, never again can I be in that position if I want to win. My mom gave me her blessing today, told me to move to vegas if that's what I felt was my destiny

GarrettKall said...

i feel there's bad blood in the wizards locker room right now, arenas gets busted with a gun in his locker, and I don't know what the hell is up with Caron Butler, i think they all hate him now, i don't know if he's dogging it on purpose because he wants to be traded, i don't know what the deal is because there is no reason that team should be doing as bad as they have been, i picked them to be the 6th seed at the beginning of the year, they have so much talent on that team its ridiculous

Ohshz said...

Yea man Wizards fucked me. I was an idiot for putting them in both my teaser and my parlay. I went from 88 to 25 last night. I was betting stupid

Today I was thinkin about doing a 2 team teaser, teased down to 4 pts

Cavs -4.5 vs Rockets
Celtics -4.5 @ Clippers
