Spurs are a great team, not gonna lie. I'm jealous that you're able to go easily watch that shit in person.

I gotta drive like 6 hours to Portland to watch my nearest game in person.

Who do you thinks gonna win the championship this year man?

I've actually really been liking what I've been seeing out of the Celtics. I think they might be a darkhorse team this year.

do you realize that if you flipped a coin you'd be at 50 percent. you're barely better than random chance.

How many out of ten thousand are below 50? worse than flipping a coin

That's the thing. In sports gambling, you can make a rich, doctor life style if you can hit at 60=65%.

And with gambling there's A HUGE difference from 50 percent to 55 percent... In fact if you'd look at this contest, there's a TON of contestants who are well in the minuses.

You guys can check out Fuzzrod on Covers.com to validate that I'm not bullshitting either.

Disco King was making fun of me for making 16 dollars an hour, but the truth is, I'm making more money betting on the NBA than I am at my job right now.

LMAO *in real life*

no no no, no Larkin London. But he's actually quite a good musician. And it would be more punk and more edgy if Billy hired him to play bass rather than another set of tits and cute smile.

ay, welcome back. Here, let me pitch in to make you feel at home again.


I'll be like, "Fuck you Trots. you Commie."


and then you might say, "wow you haven't killed yourself accidentally yet? this truly is the darkest timeline."


wait, you just used that one.


"I see you've misplaced your thorazine. btw, you still need help."


and I'll be like...


"Dubs picked up Matt Barnes, nice to have a bad boy on the team along with Day-day."


"yah, but without K.D. your Warriors are sunk."


"ya, maybe so. Either way, here's hoping they avoid the Spurs for the 3rd playoffs in a row. Woo-hoo!!!"

Interesting rankings. Some type of aggregate formula? looks like you have the 2nd highest percentage among the top ten, though with not as many wagers.

pfft...I bet that lady he choked was about to taze him. As it is, who the hell wants to get up on Matt Barnes when he's hanging with Demarcus 6'11" 280lbs Cousins. Some crazy ass New Yorker for sure.

Let him have his day in court. I've seen a woman pull out a tazer before in a situation that got heated and only escalated things as a result.

But I'd guess she was sizing Barnes up in another manner and her man didn't like it. So he went up to Barnes like, 'wut-wut' with his lady and why you lookin at her and Barnes says, "Shit. She been looking at me since I walked in, why don't you handle your business before you lose it." And it's on, bar fight with a woman.

I don't know why Barnes or other NBA players even going out to bars, but whatev.

Yeah, essentially you can wager anywhere from 100-500 "imaginary" dollars on each outcome and each over/under. So a percentage could not really be all that important if you're nailing all the games you bet 500 on and losing the smaller bets.

The prize pool isn't that great for the contest though but it's more about bragging rights for a lot of the people in that community. The prizes are:

1st $3500
2nd $1500
3rd $500
4th - 20th Hoodie
21st - 30th Hat & $30 Covers Experts Credit
31st - 40th Mug & $30 Covers Experts Credit
41st - 100th $30 Covers Experts Credit
Weekly Prize $100 Cash & $30 CE Credit

I think If I actually tried from the start that I'd be able to snag one of the cash prizes though. At this point I'm just hoping to snag one of those hats or hoodies. They are surprisingly very high quality apparel and in the Vegas ranks are kinda worn as something of a badge of honor.

The best contest they have going on the website is the "Streak Survivor". That's where the majority of their funding goes, and quite a few people have won a shitload of money on it.

You essentially have to successfully bet a certain number of games in a row (but for hockey and MLB you're only able to pick the games that are between + 120 to -120 odds-so as that you can't just rack up the easy picks that don't pay much), and the higher you get the better the prizes. The highest I've managed is to different streaks of 7 in a row though
