    Yeah I'm the same. Even when I pick what should be an easy win for the favourite it ends up being an upset.

    Houston - 12
    Portland - 7.5

    Today's bets. Tempted to do Houston/ NY over 194 total too.

    Hmm, Houston on a back to back is what puts me in a little doubt for that one. Mind you, NY are also on a b2b.
    I like the Portland bet though, good luck.

    I quite like the overs on Houston/NY, only thing I hate is NY's terrible offense. We know that Houston will definitely put up the points, it's all on NY to back us up on the other end.

    I'll be back with my final picks later.

    Whichever Maritimo player gave away a penalty tonight is a cunt. Cost me £250.

    Jumping on Heat/Blazers OVER. Bad start to the day 0/2, hopefully get these last two plays.
     
  10. kingdamo DRP Taylor

    Make that 1/3. Looking for some quality scoring in Heat/Blazers game.
     
  11. Gazza GJ Weaver

    That bet didn't go well at all
     
  12. kingdamo DRP Taylor

    Jumping on Heat +9.5. Not confident at all!
     
  13. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Should have gone with my bets boys...

    2-0 so far. Portland still to play.

    wtf is wrong with you. i've never sportsbet other than with some free money you can get on sites, i definitely don't think i'm +ev and i'm not stupid enough to delude myself into thinking i am

    showing that you've won over a certain sample doesn't necessarily prove you're +ev. idk much about variance in sportsbetting (and what is a proper sample size etc). what's your sample of bets in that screenshot?

    Damn, looks like I'll go 1-4 for the day. Oh well, still +$20 for the week!
     
  16. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Statistically speaking I know what you're getting at. In my betting lifetime I'm a +ev better - so far. Whether that stays the same in 5, 10, 20 years time, well who knows.

    Looks like 10 bets per page so 764 bets.

    Hard luck - should've used my bets :p. Only have to win 52% of bets to turn a profit providing - varying on odds obviously so off days are no biggy and happen.

    3-0 for me today. 5-0 for the past 2 days.
     
  18. kingdamo DRP Taylor

    Yeah mate, your right. I'm 10-7 for the week so still cracking along alright, as long as I'm on top for the week I'm happy enough lol. Bad days still suck, time to bounce back tomorrow.
     
  19. Rego RS Hutchinson

    How much do you typically stake on a bet?

    10-7 isn't bad. Not too sure what I am for the week (NBA wise) but will look later.
     
  20. kingdamo DRP Taylor

    Only staking $10 at a time, which is why I'm only up $20. But it minimises losses for me, once I build a bit of a bank I'll start upping the stake.
