    Looking real good on this play.

    Home dogs vs "public" favorites are a good strategy sometimes too.

    Just went over but that was a lot closer than it should've been... Miami had a 22 point lead and decided to stop playing all together. Sheesh.

    Any suggestions on sites to gamble on? I looked up Americas car room, but all I saw was poker betting. Thinking about signing up on Bovada. Is there an advantage of having a local bookie, compared to online betting, other than the convenience of betting from home?

    it depends on how serious you are about this. if you're doing it for fun, finding any online sports book that makes it easy for you to deposit and withdraw is probably all you need.

    if you're super serious, you'll want to shop for lines in as many places as you feasibly can every time.


    for online sports book, I'd look through here and pick one depending on what you want. http://www.sportsbookreview.com/

    America's Cardroom definitely has sports betting, I've been using them for a while now. You just need to download the application and at the top there is a tab that says 'Sports'. You can bet on just about anything sports related (see below)... Bovada is good too. As far as a local bookie, most of them these days do it thru the internet anyway, so it's almost the same... unless you find an old school guy. I always thought a local was kinda sketchy and didn't want to deal with that, so I like an online book.

    This makes sense, but I don't like betting unders when KD/Westbrook are involved... Think I'm gonna lay off and enjoy the game without a sweat lol.

    That Philly game turned well for you too... was hovering around 10 until the final minute lol... so you're 4-1-1 with Spurs looking good, and Por/OKC pending? Sick day for you so far. BTW, we should post our records for tracking purposes at the beginning of any post containing official picks.

    with the Man U pick this morning, I'm 5/6, including a parlay of 3 money line, the other is a push.

    Good day today :D, but Boston doesn't look to be winning, so won't be a perfect day for me.

    Good call on the CHI-OKC under, Kwame. Def gonna stay under unless something drastic happens, like double OT.

    Nice work! Keep track of your records for future posting, but don't include the soccer bets, only NBA. And I prob wouldn't include the parlays in the tracking either, since it would get pretty messy.

    Lots of winning in this thread today - great start to the degen-ing!

    wtf @ the suns. playing their starters and trying so hard late in the 4th when the game has been over for so long.

    that was way closer than it needed to be.

    LOL. Lindsey Hunter may have had some action on his own guys... he won't get that sweet head coaching paycheck for very much longer :grin:

    can't really blame him even if he doesn't need the money. suns games are super boring without action.
