    Alright gentleman after taking a break for a couple of days, I'm on Golden State +7.5. I think the Nuggets win a close one and the Warriors close it out in game 6. Denver just looks demoralized. Bonus mlb pick: NY Yankees -1.5 runline against the Astros.

    I stayed away from that game, but it looks good.

    That was the backdoor of backdoor covers, but sometimes the ball bounces your way and sometimes it doesn't. This just happened to be one of those times when it went my way. I had actually given up on the game and was happy to break even with the Yankees covering so it was a nice surprise.

    2-0 tonight which brings my post-season record to 15-6-1. A degenerate soccer special for tomorrow: Barcelona -.5 a goal against Bayern Munich. I might be betting on either one or two of the playoff games tomorrow too. I'll edit this post later with NBA picks if I do.

    thanks for this bro!! I was pondering whether to take the over or the under and when I saw your post on this I instantly just decided to follow your pick. Turns out it was right! Cheers brother!

    Guys i come here for a quick guide on this betting thing..

    Would someone please explain how all this works..

    You go to the website and bet, but for examople how does it work..

    For Example you say thunder -8.5? So what does it mean?
    How much can you win? stuff like this?

    I would like to try this, but would love to have an idea of how it works first?

    You're gonna lose.

    Thunder -8.5 (95% confidence)
    Boston +9 (70% confidence)
    Pacers -7.5 (75% confidence)

    Only play for me as of now is Indi -7... I would be surprised if this one isn't a blowout.

    Trying to recover from that ridiculous soccer bet, I'm on the Knicks -9. Thunder-Rockets game is too close for me to call. I see no reason for the Thunder to be favored by 8.5, but since it's in OKC, they might end up getting the benefit of the doubt on calls and their role players may play better. It's a toss-up to me. If I had to make a play, I would take the Rockets +8.5.

    Nice hit...In-game wagering is the main advantage of online betting imo.

    Should have went with Knicks -9. I was leaning towards that at first, but I thought J.R. Smith was out for this game.

    Yes, it was. They got out to an 11-0 start and I thought I was wrong. So far tonight I am 2/2

    I really hope I am wrong about the Rockets game.

    0-2 today...I should have done what I did for game 2, which is take the Rockets ats for the half and game. 15-8-1 in the post-season so far. Time for me to take a few days off. Good luck fellas.

    Thunder and Rockets line have open to 1 in favor of OKC. Vegas will either push it up to 3 or favor the rockets by 1 before Friday game. Let just hope Rockets are minus one before the game because like today- 90 percent of the money was on OKC, OVER OKC, OKC+OVER.
