Yeah I was going to bet some others too but only deposited $100 haha. 4 out of 5 others I would have bet would have been winners maybe I should have just stuck to CBB instead of betting the NBA games. Hoping I can finish the night at 7-5 or 8-4. Anything above .500 would be good.

Lol I've bet them like 7 times this year and they have covered every time. Should finish 7-5 for bets on the night unless Belmont somehow comes back.

Thunder for the win, and thank god. Great bounce-back night. The lows suck, but the highs are oh so great.

Hit a 4 team (+5) Teaser also.

Louisville -16.5
Florida +2
Florida St. -5
Alabama +7.5

All covered their original spread but Florida, which was the game I was worried about. So I am glad I made the teaser pick instead and played it safe. Payout not as great, but its not a loss lol

EDIT: Just looked, and Alabama didnt cover initial spread. They fouled last 2 times and WSU went 4/4 to make it a 5 pts game. Bama had the ball with a chance to win also.

Even though the pay-out isn't as great on teasers, they can win you money over time as long as you're careful about picking your spots. I'm reckless as shit and completely unstable when handling the funds in my account after bigger losses, so in those instances I like to go with a teaser that I feel really confident about to try to slowly build back up. Doesn't always work, but I've had some success.

I've won on Toledo once this year (vs. Detroit), so might have to start looking into the Rockets more.

Ive hit on Toledo like 9 times. I dont think Vegas is in tune to what we all were saying pre-season, Toledo is the best in the MAC and if they take care of business should be in the NCAAs. No reason for some of the spreads I have seen this year lol

Toledo is good, but they haven't exactly played (beaten) anyone yet to make me a true believer.

I've got UMass -2 as well as a parlay involving Heat ML, Nets ML and UMass -2.5. Banking on the Minutemen this evening. I wanted to take it earlier at -1, but waited too long to decide.

That's almost five full points more than Bovada. Shit.

Gonna hit on UMass, so I'll just forget I ever made that parlay. Pacers are too good.

Suns +4 looks good with Tony Parker out.

Yeah, haha, but the NBA always makes me go the more cautious route. Others here have said the NBA is their bread and butter, but I've found it to be much more volatile than other sports in my experience.

Houston remains at 8.5 on Bovada. Damn.

Oh god damnit...Chicago +13 is against the damn Thunder, tomorrow.

It was sitting right next to the other NBA lines for tonight, wtf?

I hate how sportsbook doesn't sort by date sometimes.

Yeah not too much I like either. Like S&L I didn't notice yesterday that the Bulls/Thunder game was on today so I already have 10 on that. Then I put 5 on these:

Bulls +850
76ers +6
Bucks +9
Lakers +5.5
Duke -5.5
Duke/UCLA over 162.5
Clemson -5.5

Also as I always do I parlayed all of the 5 dollar bets. $1 to win 459.

Might bet some more on some other NCAA games if I win some more at poker.

That double block from Ibaka, leading to a Durant 3, just killed us.

Where do you play poker turtles?
