  • Had a weird development, not sure if it is good or bad: Bookmaker banned me from all promotions and betpoints. It’s weird because I never chased that kind of stuff anyway, except to cash my betpoints in when they accumulated. My betting is all NB…

  • Wow I guess I really don’t visit here very often! Today is probably my first day back since the SuperBowl! Trofos I don’t use an app per se, but I sign onto Bookmaker to place bets. My bets are usually limited to NBA, so I was looking for insight…
    in Is sosoangry making any calls on Super Bowl this year? Comment by rook August 2022
  • https://www.bettingtalk.com/forum/discussion/181934/21-22-nba Hey jets96! Well, as you can see, I’m not around as often as last year. I kind of retired a little bit. Gone from spending 70-80 hours a week to spending maybe 1-2 hours per week, as w…

  • Worst season of my life. 4 years on the plus side, then a huge negative this season. Nobody’s fault but my own. Now back to square one re-building a bankroll from scratch. But the good news is I’m hoping to be in Nevada in October, just in time…

  • Well I had been wrong for the past month, and there’s no reason for me to not be wrong about the finals as well. Antetokounmpo totally blindsided me. Somebody must have convinced him to stop making dumb mistakes in the finals because he has been p…

  • Clippers have been totally unreadable for me, unless they are playing the Lakers.
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook July 2021
  • I think “arghh” I’m even worse at predicting more than one game in a row than predicting single games. Not only that, but people get hurt when I make those predictions (Young, Capela, Antetokounmpo). I have become a danger to society. I think onc…

  • Listed as questionable, went to shoot around practice this morning and looked ok, told reporters he would suit up.

  • Great job jets96, I guess those Clippers will leave me guessing right up the every end! Tonight Bucks roll again!
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Clippers have surprised me all season no matter which way I bet, but I think they have run out of surprises today because they’ve pretty much seen that they can’t quite cope with the Suns in their present state. So today should be their last day.

  • Well hell, Booker got rid of his mask and looked effective, and Payne looked good too. More than the Clippers could handle. I think the Bucks take the next three in a row so they can lose in the finals to the Suns.
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • OK, Payne now probable to play, creating the question of how effective will he be? If he isn’t too hobbled, then there’s less pressure on Booker to play at a super-high level. If he is hobbled to the point of being pathetic, Clippers should cruise…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • If Booker doesn’t play really well, without Payne I don’t think Suns has a chance today…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • One scenario that’s always in play with the Bucks is that they climb ahead by 20 or 30 points in the first half and then you get a back door cover. Or maybe they’re happy with the way they kind of inched their way past the Nets, and they’ll do it a…

  • I think it’s all mental with Bucks. They play up to their capabilities, they blow Hawks out, much like Seventysixers did when they played well. The advantage the Bucks have over the Seventysixers, is they don’t have a star 6’ 10” guard who doesn’t…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Yeah, Bog is in that state, I think, where he’s too hobbled to be of much value whether he plays or not…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • The only thing that makes me doubt the Bucks will cruise is the relative success of the 2 teams in 1st games — Bucks don’t do well 1st game, Hawks do quite well. I’m not seeing any news right now on Bog, BM is offering -8 at this point, don’t know …
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Wow your line says bet on the Hawks. My picks right now are like Ben Simmons shooting free throws — I’m too psyched out to even pick at a 50% rate…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • I can’t even figure out the clippers, even in the middle of the game, except for certain rare times when they get a certain determined look in all their eyes and at that point they are probably going to win against all odds, like vs Jazz. But that …
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Have you made a line for Hawks vs Bucks? I’m thinking about going all in on that game moneyline Bucks -286. It would amount to 44 units to win 16 units. A loss would leave me with 4 units and I would be back to where I was 3 or 4 years ago, strug…

  • Well looks like we won’t get the matchup between Dumb (Simmons) and Dumber (Antetokounmpo)…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Watched through entire Clippers game without betting. Pretty sure the Seventysixers will win but trying to figure out the best timing to bet on them tonight. Maybe after the Hawks make their final late game surge?

  • I think I’ve become Charles Barkley as far as picking winners is concerned. I’m actually glad for Middleton, though, that he didn’t go zombie at any point. And Holiday found his shot in the end.
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Also, 5 games the Nets have led at the half in this year’s playoffs and they have won all 5 games, 8 being their smallest margin…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Reservations because though Antetokounmpo is playing dumb, Middleton hasn’t really gone zombie. On the other hand, Holiday is pretty cold…

  • Ok halftime bet on Nets +1 which since they lead by 6 is effectively Nets -5….lotsa units — luck!
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Glad you left off, smart of you. I crapped out. My back to the wall now, I got to circle the wagons and look for bread-and-butter bets live. Game 7 could well be an opportunity as usually somebody collapses pretty hard. Nets won’t collapse but t…

  • Luck!
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • The Hawks won the 1st quarter in the first game of the series, when they first got the Seventysixers attention. In the last 4 games they haven’t come close in the 1st quarter. And today they really have the Seventysixers attention. Worries for me…
    in nba 20-21 Comment by rook June 2021
  • Boy did i screw that one up. I was feeling good at first because the Nets quickly got to 5 points behind, but then they suddenly implodedinstead of the Bucks, I think because the Nets were pretty worn out. Durant’s shots were shaky (an air ball 3)…
