Heh! I wasnt happy with the half-assed play of the Clippers and the way the Lakers kept pulling a few points away from them. It looked like a random coin toss with a slight edge to the Lakers. So during the break before the 4th quarter I live-bet back out of the 10-unit bet for 1.5 units. If only I hadnt been such a coward!

Help me understand this. Your post #126 says +$356.50. Then your post #127 says you're betting two games. You win $8.33 on the Boston bet and lose $100 on your Milwaukee bet. Shouldn't the total be +264.83?

Glad youre keeping an eye out because this is exactly the kind of mistake I could make. However, in this instance, Milwaukee beat the Hawks so that bet should win $13.33 rather than lose $100...

correct--my bad--for some reason I was regarding the Milw game vs the spread not the ML. I mean, c'mon, they only won by 26.

A little luck today and I can go get myself a value meal at Dennys...books must be taking a hit on Bucks bets. -5000 or -18 seems less reasonable and more like they just want to scare people off the Bucks...

I realize that its all relative, but is it really worth risking $100 to win $2?

Probably not, if you crunch the numbers. And especially not considering this Timberwolves crew (without Wiggins and Towns) just recently beat the Nets, so why should it be 50-1 odds for them to upset the Bucks? And though the Timberwolves made mistake after mistake they still pushed the Bucks all the way to the end of this game. But I really didnt think yesterday was going to be the day they beat the Bucks, and maybe someday that $2 might come in handy...
