Jamie Fox60 said:Wait, are you really suggesting they leave just because you think so? Even Joe Biden wouldn't suggest something like that, and he certainly thinks way more deeply about these issues than anyone else in the USA!
Look, if they can't play by our rules, then grab their bags and hit the road, period. Nobody is going to shed a tear for them because let's be honest—they don't respect this country and they definitely don't act like it's their home🙂. We're lucky we're such a peaceful people, because if things had gone down like they did back in '95, none of them would still be standing here, but unfortunately, we're the kind of nation that refuses to learn from history, so we'll probably just end up right back where we started since this current administration is too busy sucking up to them😠.
Man, it’s just gut-wrenching how another legend from the Black Knights was taken out like this... seriously, the guy was a die-hard supporter from Rhode Island, one of those true believers you just don't see much anymore
R. I. P. Petrinjac 😢
Rest in peace, Hrka . Seriously, what kind of crazy life is this? I swear I just saw him in New York City the other day 😢 🙂
I honestly had no clue where to dump this, so I’m just tossing it here since I know a ton of you guys actually hang out on this board. Look, let’s be real—life is kicking everyone's teeth in lately and nobody's having it easy, but I truly believe there’s still enough heart left in people to step up when things get ugly. When the bureaucracy and all those faceless government agencies couldn't care less about the little guy, we've gotta look out for each other, right? Just take a second to read this, it won't kill you to "waste" a couple of minutes of your life.
What am I even supposed to say to this besides just bowing down?🙏, honestly, everyone heard the whole thing from outside the stadium because after spending a solid hour and a half trying to actually get through the gates, we all just gave up and went to grab some food at a diner instead🤷. This right here is the ultimate payback for the mafia, and honestly, that’s exactly how it should stay going forward👋
Honestly, the one thing I just can't wrap my head around is why there isn't a single lawyer among all the different supporter groups ready to file a massive lawsuit against the FBI and the USSF. I mean, as far as I know, everyone has the right to move freely within their own damn country, not to mention how incredibly discriminatory it is to ban people from out of town from even showing up to a match. If you follow that logic, then tourists aren't even welcome anymore, right? And honestly, protesting doesn't seem to do much good either, since we’ve already seen how much that trash works. If I were a lawyer, I’d be stepping up to help in a heartbeat, but unfortunately, I'm not—though I'm positive there are people among us who would jump at the chance to help because this isn't just about us, it affects our entire society. Who’s to say that in the future they won't start demanding vouchers just to go to a disco or a grocery store under the excuse that there might be some "hooligans" or thieves there too? It feels like the only thing this garbage regime hasn't taken from us yet is our sanity, because isn't it enough that they won't let us work, that they're constantly hitting us with garnishments, and just messing with our heads day in and day out? God, what a joke.
jadetiger4 said:The only response worth giving here is this: are you actually backing what Michael Oak did?
Of course they support him! It's not like Michael Oak was out there shelling their cities or murdering innocent people, right? He's just a guy who stepped up to defend this country.👍What, were they expecting him to hand out bouquets and thank-you notes instead?🤷
Look, I consider this country mine, through and through, but politicians? Not a chance. They aren't "ours" by any stretch of the imagination, and honestly, it kills me just listening to them drone on; they’re only doing the job to line their own pockets. If you ask me, this current administration and the last one are basically cut from the same cloth as those occupiers back in the Sao Paulo era—when you actually dig into it, they share the exact same twisted obsession with tearing down the American state and its people.
Look, I’m just gonna say it right now—I’m done. As of today, I am officially checking out of this thread because I am sick and tired of giving certain people here an excuse to constantly pick on me and stir the pot. It’s honestly pathetic how some of you users just go on these endless trolling sprees, attacking anyone who dares to have a different opinion, and what’s even more infuriating? The moderators just sit there and let it happen! They won't sanction a single person for being a total jerk, so why should I even bother sticking around? For almost two years, things were mostly fine, you know? We had some good times, but then you get these few exceptions who act like they own the entire place, behaving like this is their own private playground instead of a public forum. I'm over it.🤷Is there actually anywhere left in this world where someone’s hard work gets respected instead of just getting slapped with a ban because they won't play along with the rules? Seriously, is there any corner of the internet left where you can speak your mind without some moderator breathing down your neck the second you refuse to bow down? It feels like everywhere you turn, it's just instant bans for anyone who doesn't want to fold. Does anyone actually care about the effort people put in anymore, or is everyone just looking for an excuse to kick someone out? Honestly, I'm just looking for a spot that isn't totally toxic.
Cut the lies. You're throwing out a massive amount of accusations here—do us all a favor and actually back them up with some proof.
You're always posting stuff like...
And then you guys just hit me with that. Just my two cents. Why does this stuff always happen to you? So, where does this conversation go from here? So you're just gonna start picking fights with anyone who doesn't see things your way. Great plan.
Then comes your usual commentary, like: Why on earth would anyone listen to advice on how to bet? If that's how you want to roll, fine by me. Everyone’s an expert now. Just don't go telling anyone how to place their bets. It’s like everyone is out to get you. Just feels that way sometimes. And that's that.
And why is everyone talking trash about how you bet? Because you're the one who asked for it.
On the topic. Betting methods and my own experiences. People are currently debating different strategies and sharing their experiences, which somehow spiraled into a discussion about my betting style.It’s not about you. It’s about your betting style.The discussion was going totally fine until you started jumping in with those posts, calling everyone "know-it-alls" or "generals" and just being insulting. You basically nuked the whole thread by making it personal. Honestly, getting away with just a troll warning is too light—you definitely earned a ban for the insults, too. You saw the posts get nuked, yet instead of realizing this kind of debate isn't allowed here, you just kept going with the exact same attitude.
The forum is meant for discussion, but you turned this whole thing into a personal vendetta (and not just this one thread). It’s like you have this "you're either with me or against me" mindset, which is why every single argument ends up crashing in the same way. I don't know why you do it, and honestly, I don't care—but we aren't putting up with it.
Nobody is out to get you; there are no conspiracies or Kakav Klan going on. Please, just stop taking things so personally and quit making everything about you.
A lot of them take it way too personally though, like Zalmonik or Aaron, not to mention anyone else🤷. Of course I'm going to get insulted when someone who can't even hit a decent win rate tries to lecture me, but you wouldn't see that because you only read what fits your narrative since you play nice with certain people while constantly snapping at everyone else🤷. Are we really doing this again? The whole drama about posting picks in the chat where you call me and a few others out, yet you completely ignore the guys who post picks for days on end without any actual reasoning? To me, that's not a fair standard. If rules are being enforced, no matter how stupid I or most of the group think they are, they need to apply to everyone or nobody at all.
Eric Fox7 said:Look, people were just laying out the facts here—it wasn't a personal hit job on you. They were just trying to point out that your betting strategy is going to bleed you dry in the long run compared to just sticking to singles.
If you aren't interested in some well-meaning advice—which, hey, no judgment there—then don't get defensive. Just scroll past.
All I care about right now is getting my money back from what I already put in, and since things are looking this way, if this place hits a snag, I'll easily find somewhere better to go, but I really don't need some gambling addict lecturing me on how to play🤷.
Eric Fox7 said:I was just sitting here doing a little reading, and honestly, I’d say the warning was more than justified—mostly because you kept dragging the whole discussion down into personal attacks. You definitely earned a ban for taking swipes at the moderators, but hey, let's just call it a pass this once.
Look, it isn't "personal" when someone starts spitting on the way I bet, acting like their way is the only right one just because some guru told them singles are the only path to success, right?🤷.Just leave me alone if I'm minding my own business, okay? If people need advice, I'm always down to help, and if I need something, I'll ask—it's not like it's my first time around here! But I seriously can't stand it when some random guy who barely even posts tries to lecture me, especially when he can't even pick a single winner, yet he's sitting there telling *me* how to play when I'm hitting 4 or 5 parlays in a row!🤷.
It’s honestly hilarious how I always seem to get slapped with a ban the second I even glance in the direction of your little clique, but I’ve gotta know—did all the other trolls actually get warned, or are they just some untouchable sacred cows who can mess around day in and day after day without consequences? I’m seriously asking for some proof that the agitators who literally have nothing better to do than stir the pot every single day are being handled properly🤷. It feels like certain mods are just running a total reign of terror and acting completely biased against anyone who dares to step up and challenge their buddies
Alright, I took a few days off to clear my head, but now I’m back at it, getting right back into the old routine☕
Blake Griffin over 18.5 -So he started the season looking a little sluggish, definitely not hitting the numbers we all expected from him, but hasn't he really found his rhythm lately? He dropped 22 points against San Antonio (10-16) and then 20 (8-16) against Mia Hamm, which just shows how much those heavy hitters have been riding him, you know? And honestly, that really applies to today's matchup because in their last two home games, they absolutely demolished the visitors, putting up 66 points while grabbing 26 boards🙏. Chris Bosh over 18.5 -Look, this feels like the safest bet on the board to me, especially since Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers are probably sitting this one out with those injuries, and even LeBron James is dealing with some headaches and stomach issues🤷. Because of that, Bosh is stepping into the spotlight, and you can absolutely expect him to sink more than his usual 15+ shots. If you look at how great he's been playing recently—even if he dipped slightly in the last two games where he fell under this line (14 (5-9) against Denver, 11 (3-13) against LAC)—he was consistently clearing 20+ when the whole squad was healthy. Plus, remember that win against the Phoenix Suns about ten days ago? He put up 18 points in just 25 minutes! On average, the guy puts up 19.2 points on 57% shooting and hits the free-throw line about 6 times a game .LAC under 101.5 -I mean, who saw this coming? They're starting the season 6-2, which is easily their best start since the 2006/07 season, and that’s even with Billups and Grant Hill sidelined🤷. Now, sure, they've cleared the 100-point mark in 7 out of their 8 games so far, but I don't think that's happening today. Why? Because the visiting team is famous for that granite-hard defense, averaging 92.4 points allowed. If you ignore that last game against the Suns where they let in 112 after overtime (112-106), they haven't let anyone cross that threshold. Even Bosh barely got close with 101 points, while everyone else stayed under 100 .Boston (184.5)-Toronto under -Even though the home team's defense doesn't inspire nearly as much confidence as it did last season, I still think they'll hold the visitors under 85 points for a ton of reasons. The home side will likely be without Rajon Rondo, who is basically their entire engine with 12.5 assists and about 15 points per game. Sure, Leandro Barbosa might step up offensively, but he can't touch Rondo's ability to run the floor and set people up, which was obvious in that loss against the Brooklyn Nets where he only had 2 assists out of the team's total 17🤷. As for the visitors, things look even worse; they're missing Kyle Lowry, who was leading the charge with nearly 24 points a game before he got hurt (and while Jose Calderon has been playing decent triple-doubles lately, he isn't even remotely as efficient)|| plus Anderson is out, and both Mehmet Okur and Gilbert Arenas are questionable. All signs point to this being a massive under, just like the last six matchups between them🤷.
Toronto vs Boston 84-79 Toronto vs Boston 86-74 Boston vs Toronto 100-64 Boston vs Toronto 96-73 Boston vs Toronto 81-73 Toronto vs Boston 75-76
That's all I've got for today. Good luck to everyone following these plays, and honestly, good luck to everyone else too😉.
Yesterday didn't exactly go my way, but hey, you can't win them all, right? You can't just rake in the cash every single day, that's just not how it works!🤷
Charlotte -Look, I had to take this one at these odds regardless of the fact that the Wizards still haven't managed to grab a win yet, but if you're looking to snap a losing streak anywhere, why not with a weak squad like Charlotte? If I recall correctly, they were sitting on a massive 24-game skid before they finally managed to scrape by Indiana 90-89, and then just a few days later, they pushed Dallas into overtime. Both teams are dealing with some major injuries to their top guys (Henderson/Wall, Nene), but even a struggling Washington team has been making life difficult for opponents who aren't exactly pushovers (they've been grinding against Boston twice, Milwaukee, and Indiana). Today, I’m expecting them to keep this momentum going against a home team that has actually lost four out of their last five matchups against them. It's pretty wild when you think about it—Charlotte hasn't even put together two wins in a row since 2010!🤷. Duncan over 16.5 -I honestly don't get this line at all, especially since Parker is a huge question mark right now, and even if he does suit up, I really don't see him getting massive minutes. Meanwhile, Tim is playing out of his mind lately and I’m expecting him to be out there for 30+ minutes, and when he is, he's always hitting those numbers (he dropped 24 against New Orleans, 20 against OKC, 19 against Utah, 23 against Sacramento, and 22 against Portland). He's averaging about 14 shots a game while shooting 53%, and he's constantly getting to the free throw line too. West over 16.5 -With Granger out, this guy is taking a ton of shots. I was watching him during that opener against the Raptors where he was basically the reason they pulled off the win, even though they were trailing for most of the game. He dropped 25 points on 12-of-18 shooting and was an absolute nightmare for that Toronto defense, especially now that he's heading into enemy territory right after that brutal triple-overtime thriller against the Jazz. Over these last seven games, he's been averaging 16.7 points on 45% shooting (7.3-16.1).
Good luck to everyone following any of these plays, and if I had to add one more thing, I'd sayIrving over 22.5.☕
Nicholas Chase34 said:DraftKings dropped the Atlanta spread to 96.5, but over at Germany, they moved the total under to 1.65 from 1.75.
Let’s just pray everything goes smoothly 🙂
They also slashed the total points for Portland vs. Atlanta from 197.5 down to 195.5😍,left Rose at 17.5 but knocked it down to 1.75—honestly, I’m losing my mind, how did they not touch Lawson's line?🤣What a complete joke, right? They should just slap a "void" sticker on the wrong tickets and pocket the cash already😍.I mean, what kind of bookies are these, seriously? It’s like they’re setting their margins based on whatever people are whispering about on some random forum; you can tell they have absolutely no clue who actually knows what they’re doing☕
Philadelphia -3.5 vs Milwaukee 1 -The home team is hunting for their fourth straight win today after absolutely tearing it up on the road with a 3-0 sweep, where they held their opponents to under 82 points per game! Seriously, even without Andrew Bynum, Paul Richardson, and Tim Brown in the lineup, these guys look totally reborn because their bench is stepping up and doing the job perfectly. I’m seeing them cover by maybe 6 or 7 points tonight, especially since they always seem to handle this opponent just fine—they’ve grabbed 7 wins in their last 8 matchups, including three straight at home. For anyone feeling a bit more cautious, I’d say take the under 188.5, considering they’ve gone under in 10 of their last 11 meetings . Lawson over 14.5 -He might be the team's main man, and let's be real, his play can be super inconsistent sometimes, but he clears this line all the time, especially when he's facing a squad that gives up about 104 points on average and against whom almost everyone else has been hitting the over. You also gotta factor in that Denver has won their last 6 games while putting up an insane average of 120 points per game . GS 107-101 9 3-10 0-3 3-6 Utah 104-84 9 4-12 1-4 Hou 93-87 21 6-16 3-4 0-4 Det 109-97 15 2-4 1-4 8-10 Mia 116-119 14 7-15 Orl 89-102 12 6-12 0-3 Phila 75-84 16 6-15 1-2 1-2
his recent performances
DeMar DeRozan over 17.5 -As long as Kyle Lowry is out, he and Andrea Bargnani are my top picks for the over because they're getting so many looks, which obviously bumps up the chances of clearing this number, particularly against the Utah Jazz who have been absolutely terrible on the road lately🤷. He’s been averaging around 13 shots with a 45% clip and gets to the free throw line constantly, so he should put up some solid numbers. In his last 5 games, he cleared this mark in 4 of them (Brook Lopez 25, Minnesota 22, Oklahoma City Thunder 8, Dallas 24, Philadelphia 19) .
stormyseal9 said:OKC (203.5) – Cleveland Under -if you ask me, that margin is way too huge considering how these teams are actually playing. I mean, OKC has been on an 8-game tear where they stay under 200 total points. The home team is averaging about 99 points scored while giving up 92.5, whereas the visitors are sitting at a 98/103 split🤷. Looking at the last 7 games, the under hit 5-1-1, and when you look specifically at games played in OKC over the last 4, the under popped 3 times . James Under 25.5 -he’s nowhere near as efficient this year as he was in years past, but honestly, does he even need to be? With Allen coming in to pick up the slack from the other guys, why push it? So far this season, the only time he’s even cracked 26 points was that first game against Boston (8-12), which doesn't surprise me one bit given how intense that rivalry gets. The home team looks like a beast on the boards with some solid individual players (Allen, Gay...) who really lock it down defensively, and I don't think they're gonna let Gay go too crazy, especially after that nagging knee injury he picked up on Friday—no coach is going to ride him too hard there . Miami Under 98.5 -even though Miami is one of the most explosive squads in the league, they are a completely different animal on the road, and they definitely aren't facing an easy night against Memphis. Memphis allows about 90 points at home on average, and with Wade and James not being at 100% health, how on earth is the visiting team supposed to blow past this margin?🤷I just don't see it happening🤷. Brooklyn (190.5) – Orlando Under -I remember when Brooklyn absolutely demolished Magic on the road, winning 107-68, and that was actually the first time in ten games they’d even broken the 100-point mark. The visitors started the season strong with two wins but then totally fell off a cliff, especially in their last two outings where they averaged only about 71 points. I'm not expecting a shootout here, especially with all the guys out (Wallace / Hedo, Harrington, Nelson???) . Going bigger than usual on this one, SS
17w/17l
really hope someone followed👍, money's in the bag and now it's time to just chill and head to bed🙂,🙂
Oklahoma City Thunder (203.5) vs Cleveland under -Honestly, that line feels way too high if you actually look at how these teams are playing lately. OKC has been sitting on an 8-game streak where they stay under 200 total points. The home team is averaging about 99 buckets while giving up 92.5, whereas the visitors are hovering around a 98/103 split🤷. Looking at the last 7 games, the under hit 5 times out of 7, and when they play specifically in OKC, the under has popped 3 times in their last 4 outings. LeBron James under 25.5 -He’s nowhere near his usual efficiency levels this year, but honestly, why should he be? With Gordon Hayward coming in to pick up the slack from the guys who have been struggling, he doesn't need to carry the whole load. So far this season, the only time he even cracked 26 was in that first matchup against the Boston Celtics (8-12), which isn't surprising given how heated that rivalry gets. The home squad is a beast on the boards with some solid individual players (Gordon Hayward, Alvin Gay...) handling the defensive dirty work, and I don't think they're gonna let Alvin Gay go overboard, especially since he picked up that minor knee injury on Friday—no way the coach pushes him too hard there. Miami under 98.5 -Even though Miami is one of the most efficient squads in the league, they are a completely different animal on the road, and they aren't facing an easy task against Memphis. Memphis allows home teams to score around 90 on average, and with both Dwyane Wade and LeBron James not being at 100% health, I just don't see how the visitors push past this margin🤷. It's just not happening🤷. Brook Lopez (190.5) - Orlando under -I remember when the Brooklyn Nets absolutely demolished the Orlando Magic on the road, winning 107-68; that was actually the first time in ten games they even broke the 100-point mark. The visitors started the season strong with two wins but have totally fallen off a cliff since, especially in their last two games where they averaged only about 71 points. I'm not expecting a shootout here, especially with all the guys missing from the rotation (Rasheed Wallace / Hedo Türkoğlu, Caron hậu Harrington, Don Nelson???) . Going a bit bigger than usual on this one, SS
stormyseal9 said:Alright, after being MIA all day because of the games, I’m finally getting back into the swing of things🤷, and man, even though Orlando cleaned up yesterday, that's just how the game goes😢.
GS vs Denver 2 -It’s a clash between two teams sitting at 3-3, but honestly, I’m giving the edge to the visitors. They’ve really found their rhythm, pulling off three straight wins after that rough 0-3 start. You gotta look at the facts: they’ve won 18 of their last 23 games! Meanwhile, the home team is probably going to be without Andrew Bogut again since his injury just won't heal, which leaves them looking seriously thin in the paint🤷. Indiana Pacers (h-8.5) vs Washington 2 -Even though the visitors haven't tasted a win yet, they haven't been total disappointments; most of their games have been super close, which tells me that despite missing Chris Wall and Nenad Krstić, plus a Jamal Crawford who isn't quite 100%, they could actually give this Indiana squad a run for their money. And let's be real, Indiana isn't even half as good as they were last year. Losing Danny Granger to injury has been a massive blow, and a 2-4 record is definitely underwhelming given what everyone expected from them. They’ve dropped their last three, and those two wins they did grab were absolute grinds—one was a nail-biter against the Toronto Raptors where they trailed most of the way, and the other was an overtime slog against the Sacramento Kings. So yeah, I think taking the points with the underdog is the move here .Stephen Curry over 19.5 FGA 😉-He’s facing a matchup he usually loves, especially considering how he absolutely shredded Denver recently (dropping 63 points over the last two games and shooting an insane 23-30)! Since I'm expecting a high-scoring shootout today, the over feels like a lock .Andrea Bargnani over 17.5 🤷-With Kyle Lowry sidelined, he's stepping back into the spotlight, which means more shots for him. He showed exactly what he can do against the Dallas Mavericks when he dropped 25 points on just 20 attempts (9-15 on twos, 0-5 from deep), and his minutes went up by five too. I'm expecting something similar today because someone has to pick up the slack for those 20 missed shots, and the only guys with enough juice to do it are DeMar DeRozan and Andrea Bargnani, since they basically run the show . 15w/15l
It's not like I didn't see this coming🤷, but man, Denver had to grind out an overtime win, which doesn't change my outlook at all, and Curry ended up stuck right at 19 makes😍. Just great, isn't it? Another streak continues just like that🤣.
Finally back in the swing of things after being MIA all day watching the games🤷, yesterday the Orlando Magic absolutely cleaned up on the books, but hey, that’s just how it goes sometimes😢
Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets: Over 2 -We've got two teams sitting at a 3-3 split, but honestly? I'm giving the slight edge to the visitors. They've really found their rhythm with three straight wins after that rough 0-3 start. You have to look at the fact they've taken 18 of their last 23 games! Meanwhile, the home team is likely going to be missing Andrei Bogut again since he can't seem to shake this injury, which leaves them looking pretty thin in the paint under the rim🤷. Indiana Pacers (-8.5) vs Washington Wizards: Over 2 -Even though the visitors haven't tasted a win yet, they haven't been total disappointments either; most of their games have been super close, which tells me that even without Ben Wallace and Nen and a Tim Crawford who isn't quite 100%, they could actually give this Indiana squad a run for their money. And let's be real, Indiana isn't anywhere near the level they were last year. Losing Danny Granger has been a massive hole in their lineup, and being 2-4 is definitely underwhelming given the hype. They've dropped their last three, and those two wins they did snag were absolute grinders—one was a nail-biter against the Toronto Raptors where they trailed most of the way, and the other was a messy overtime win against the Sacramento Kings. Because of that, I think it's worth taking the points with the underdog here .Stephen Curry Over 19.5 points -He's facing an opponent he usually loves playing against, especially considering how he tore it up against the Denver Nuggets recently (dropping 63 points over the last two games and shooting a ridiculous 23-30 from the field). Since I'm smelling a high-scoring shootout today, the over feels like a lock😉. Andrea Bargnani Over 17.5 points -With Kyle Lowry sidelined, he’s stepping back into the spotlight, which means more shot attempts. He showed exactly what he can do against the Dallas Mavericks when he put up 25 points on just 20 shots (hitting 9-15 for twos and 0-5 from deep), plus his minutes have bumped up by about five. I'm expecting something similar today because someone has to make up for those 20 missing buckets🤷, and the only guys with enough juice to step up are DeMar DeRozan and Bargnani, since they basically run the show . 15w/15l
