Yea, taking both Denver & Houston on Money Lines is what boosted the payout. Usually $20 on a 4 team pick for NBA pays out $220 standard. I just want to be alive heading into 10;30 with only Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz left. I love, love, love love Houston Rockets tonight up 2-0 and smelling blood. I think Milwaukee destroys Pistons by 16+ tonight but this Denver/SA game is super close and tight. Denver down 4 but earlier were down 12 or so. Now down 1 after a 3 back and forth ahhh
Wow Denver went from down 11-12 pts earlier 1st half to now up by double digits after 3 and heading into the 4th Quarter up 12. I'll tell you what. Denver's offense is so fun to watch when clicking and firing on all cylinders these kids play hard and play fast forreal. Vegas wanted me to think Denver were a 4.5-5.0 underdog today. I didn't want to believe it. Denver was clearly the better team throughout the entire season. Despite not beating the Spurs @ San Antonio since 2012 I still had to tell myself fk it there is no more Parker, Manu or Duncan so I took my chances with Nuggets on ML. Looking good but I'm still an idiot for betting against Pops @ SA tho lol heading in I was telling myself I should have bought 7 points with Denver for a +11.5 spread but being a greedy gambler is why I took Denver to win straight up (I usually lose with greedy picks taking underdogs to win). Up 15 with 9;00 left. Game time. Two up. Two down. Only two remain. One game at a time. I went big for my family's Easter Sunday would be nice tomorrow A.M to pick up and get back $386 off $20 from Game room I deserve it lolo
Yea but -9.5 isn't easy as it's hard to win by double digits come postseason play. All day I've felt in my heart that Denver winning on the road @ SA would be my tickets hardest challenge but now I feel Milwaukee beating Detroit by 10+ will be my hardest most difficult challenge. Detroit midway through 1st Q looking like they've came to fight and compete with the return of Blake Griffin. I'm super confident with the Rockets. I feel like this Milwaukee game is the $$$$ game.
Exactly. It's what I said a few posts back. I don't think there bucks will have another lopsided victory.
That's how I was feeling a couple of moments ago but I don't know, this Milwaukee team has great defense and a very explosive offense. Already almost covering and now up 8 points after 1Q and at this rate on pace for a 32 point win. While down 5 I was feeling frustrated but now up 8 and I'm hoping to see Milwaukee up 15+ at the half. Damn, I really want to survive to my 4th and final game with my ticket in the hands of CP3, Harden and Capella while up 2-0 (too much pressure on Utah). Get me past this Bucks game and it'll be game time come 10;30
I love day long parlays, because it makes the work day go by faster, and gives extra incentive for games you don't necessarily care to watch.
Yes. I only place two tickets per wknd. Saturday and Sunday dayoffs. I couldn't gamble M-F because I'd never be able to concentrate on my job lol but I agree 100% I would not be watching any of these games without my Knicks in the playoffs if not for parlay tickets. Makes games so much more intense and interesting.
Garbage time has killed plenty of tickets over the years just thankful, not tonight. Won by 16 on a -9.5. Typical 1 vs. 8 series. Couldn't let Vegas scare me off Milwaukee tonight just knew had to pull the trigger. 3 up. 3 down. 1 more to go! I've been on fire with my picks today including an underdog upset on a ML with Denver on the road @ SA. My most confident pick today was another "underdog" in Houston. I don't see Utah being able to win let alone lose by anything less than double digits but gambling is never easy with parlays so I'm expecting a nail biter. Sometimes my dead bolt locks become the complete opposite lol I'm just still happy Philly covered during my 1st game I was 100% sure while down 10+ my 1st game would be my last one ahhhhhh #HouseMoney!!!
I honestly thought Philly would lose, but I guess Brooklyn isn't as good as advertised. I still think Philly is overrated though.. Go Rockets.
I don't think Philly is overrated just super young. Simmons and Embid are crazy good and Harris monster pickup for them. Role players like JJ from 3 I like them a lot
Yup. Never fails. My mental dead bolt locks always seem to be nail biter win or lose. Luck was on my side yesterday and into Easter morning; that Houston Rockets game had me heavy sweating. Too close for my comfort. All in all what a Saturday of playoff ball this ended up being. Took two road underdogs Denver and Houston and told Vegas keep your points and give me them for the wins. Took a Philly team on the road by -2.5. Gotta kill me. I'm not buying points on that ala dropping my payout. And Milwaukee on the road. -9.5 looked a little scary but I didn't fall for the bait trap of Vegas scaring me off of a 1 vs 8 seed already up 2-0 smelling blood; gotta kill me. They say N.B.A stands for never bet away but today/tonight I had to disagree. All 4 road games. Two underdogs. All W's. Once took 4 underdogs on ML's all 4 won $20 into $2,200 hah but that's too rare never happened again for me. Thnx God didn't bet with my heart. Wanted to take my hot Rays @ home against a struggling Red Sox. 5 teamer for around $600 or so but my wifey lol LET ME KNOW only to place a 4 pick. I listened. I tell you what this Latvian woman just came through in clutch and saved my greedy gambling self my ticket my $20 and this $386 lol gotta mini spoil her now ahhhh can't wait for Easter games $20 on a 4 pick again it is
My 4 picks for Easter Sunday are... 1.) Boston -2.5 over Indiana. Small point spread so have to jump all over it and ride the Celtics as my 1st game. Up 3-0 for a reason. Too much pressure on Indiana. More fire power. A dangerous team I love Celtic's by 7+. Bring out the brooms. 2.)
Placed a $29 5 team parlay for $950 in return. 1.) Celtics -3.0 (won by 4 lol so lucky) 2. TB Rays ML to just win (up 2-1 4th) 3.) Golden State -9.5 on road (as was Milwaukee -9.5 on road last night). 4.) Toronto Raptors -5.5 over a should not be in the playoffs Orlando Magic. 5.) Portland Trailblazers. Money Line to win the game. +190 on payout taking Portland to win @ OKC and not taking the points is what really boosts my tickets payout and makes it jump. As long as TB Rays can hold off Boston up 1 run right now I'm confident I'll have a 9;30 $$ game @ OKC. Taking Portland on the road took balls and a big risk because I love OKC but in gambling I'm confident that I at least have a real fighter of an underdog in Portland who can not only win but also up 2-1 in series. Lots of pressure on OKC tonight with Portland smelling blood .
I root for the Thunder, as long as it doesn't affect the Bucks, but I have a bad feeling about tonight. I don't think they'll win. Hope I'm wrong though.
HR Ray's! Pham looking like a really nice off-season addition big Home Run was down 3-2 bottom 8th one out no one on base; now tied 3-3!
Placed a $30 ticket on a 3 team parlay for $561. Took all three underdogs, to win (on Money Lines) with 3 + payouts. TB Rays ML . Philadelphia 76ers ML. San Antonio Spurs ML. Rays up on Boston 1-0. 2nd pitch HR off David Price to leadoff the game. As a Rays fan I'm not scared of David Price he's a fastball/slider pitcher and getting older ala not 2008 anymore. I just want TB to hold off and win so bad so I can enjoy the 76ers/Raptors game. Philly I think will advance past Toronto just too deep in talent and I absolutely love a trio of Simmons/Harris/Embid. I've loved this Spurs/Nuggets serries. Took Denver as an underdog @ SA last weekend to win the game and boost my ticket. Denver won and I hit my wknd ticket but not tonight. Even on the road I love the Spurs tonight and will never bet against Pops during a game 7. Great coaching under pressure back to the wall is why I took San Antonio tonight and didn't want the +6 points; Spurs all day tonight.
