My Gambling Thread

[soxmuscle]

NFL Sunday:
0-6
-35 units

Really tough day. Considering the whole reason I started this thread was because over a two week stretch I went 16-2 in the NFL and thought I was the shit. Blah.

 

[soxmuscle]

NHL Sunday:

1-0
+9.1 units

Loved Edmonton here with the Devils so battered and bruised. Added an extra 5 units on the game bringing me to +9.1 on the day.

 

[soxmuscle]

NBA Sunday:

1-0
+4.55 units

 

[soxmuscle]

On the year...

MLB: 1-0
NHL: 6-4
NBA: 4-6
CFB: 6-3
NFL: 6-11-1

Yesterday's bankroll: 155.43
Today's bankroll: 134.08

High water mark after those two hot NFL weekends was 187 units, I've lost over 50 units in the last couple of weeks. God, I suck.

Edmonton got out played and out shot.

Really?

I'm glad I didn't watch it then.

After throwing up a goose egg in football, I just chalked it up as a loss.

 

[soxmuscle]

Spurs -4 2nd half (need to win) (-110); 5 units wins 4.55

 

[soxmuscle]

Winner last night.

NBA: 5-6
Bankroll: 138.63 units

 

[soxmuscle]

Futures:
Bruins to win the Cup 20/1; 2.5 units wins 50 units

Now have 4.5 units to win 100 units on the Bruins. They've become an elite team and that number will be down to single digits in a couple of months.

Tonight:
Bruins over Montreal (+110); 10 units wins 11 units

Really like the Bruins tonight, will probably homer it up some more and bet the Pats as well. Like both those match ups.

I will say it right now.... Bruins will not win the cup this year. They always choke come the end of the year.

I think it's worth a shot at those odds. I value your opinion but this team has always been a fringe playoff team, of the 4-5-6-7-8 mold.. meaning they really haven't been a dominant team.

They are young though..

Thoughts on tonights Bruins/Habs and Pats/Jets games?

 

[tucker01]

Boston might have it tough.... Back to back games last night went to a shootout.

I will always chose against the Jets, cause of Favre alone. That is why I am not a gambler, emotions ride.

 

[soxmuscle]

CFB:
- Miami (FL) -4; 10 units wins 9.52
- Akron -3; 5 units wins 5
- UNLV -7; 5 units wins 5
- UNLV/Wyoming under 48; 5 units wins 4.55

 

[soxmuscle]

NHL:
- Boston +110; 10 units wins 11 units
- Boston +125; 5 units wins 6.25

Could have more.. Bruins up 1-0 early.

This was a really big play, but I may bet my biggest on the Pats here shortly. Still waiting for the line to drop to 3...

 

[soxmuscle]

NBA:
- Denver +7; 5 units wins 4.35

This is one of those statement games, at home.. I just really think they'll win this one, even with the game last night in the Chi. The Bruins have the opportunity to play well in back to back games with Tim Thomas and Manny Fernandez. Fernandez looks like his Minnesota days version tonight... get 'em!

Good man. I really think the Patriots win this game too. Like you said, emotions ride...

 

[soxmuscle]

GOAL!

2-0 Bruins.

 

[soxmuscle]

Another goal!!!

3-0 Bruins with 6 seconds to go in the period.

60 minutes boys.

 

[soxmuscle]

NFL:
Patriots ML; 25 units wins 17.24 units

Biggest play to date.

 

[tucker01]

Well you got your Bruins......

But ouch on the Pats.

 

[MCx2]

I lost about the same on the Pats last night. Foxboro, cold weather, short week, near impossible to bet against the Pats there.

 

[tucker01]

BTW fuck Favre

 

[soxmuscle]

Well you got your Bruins......

But ouch on the Pats.

Won big on the Bruins, lost big on the Patriots.

I went to this bar for the game last night and there were about 20 Jets fans screaming "J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!" after everything that happened. False starts, 4 yard runs.. every fucking thing..

All week I've been on the Bruins and Patriots, not sure why I chose to put the 25 units on the Pats and 15 units on the Bruins, but hindsight is 20/20.

Still up overall, although I need a comeback weekend after the putrid 0-6 performance in the NFL last week.

Who do you got tonight? Any good looking games out there?

 

[soxmuscle]

The Jets just didn't make many mistakes.

Hate losing one of my big plays because I only put that kind of dough on games that I "know" I will win. Oh, how wrong I can be...

 

[soxmuscle]

BTW fuck Favre

BTW fuck the NFL overtime.

How anticlimatic after nearly shitting my pants on the Moss touchdown...

 

[soxmuscle]

The day wouldn't have been that bad overall if I hadn't lost on the points in my one NBA game and my college football plays.

Hate losing that Miami game especially.. or that Denver game because Kenyon Martin couldn't compose himself and got a technical in the final minute. You fucking bastard.

[soxmuscle]

NFL:

Vikings +6; 10 wins 8.33
Texans +9; 10 wins 8

Should have more afternoon plays. Drank too much, woke up late and didn't have enough time to do the studying I normally do.

I've been in a wicked rut of late, lets turn this around starting today!

 

[soxmuscle]

Updated record...

MLB: 1-0
NHL: 7-4
NBA: 4-7
CFB: 8-5
NFL: 6-12-1

 

[soxmuscle]

NHL:

Blackhawks (even); 5 wins 5
Lightning +125; 5 wins 6.25
Thrashers +140; 5 wins 7

The Hawks have the biggest game of their season tonight and I think after two straight overtime losses, the puck falls their way.

No more Melrose, playing a shit Carolina team that's lost three in a row.

The odds are simply too much here IMO. Philly shouldn't be a -160 favorite against the Thrashers.
