Ppl always say this I only go on Thursday nights and I make at least 600 a week

cuz, let me let you in on a little secret

it's all random... no patterns in anything at the casino... actually the only pattern is sustained losing if you gamble for a long time

So I recently got into sports betting because of a stupid younger cousin of mine who introduced me to it, and today I can say it has completely crushed me.

I dropped $750 on Miami Heat beating Cavs :( I know, but the odds were crazy and would've raked in over 6k.
I also dropped 1k on Memphis to beat OKC. Again I was lured by the hefty payout.

So to make the money back I immediately dropped 1.5k in the 4th Quarter for Dallas to beat Utah by +7, that didn't happen as Utah almost won :(

Now I am seething, I literally emptied my bank account to win all that back. I dropped 1.6k on Houston to beat Clippers. They lost :sadbron:

Now I'm broke as shyt with $90 in my bank account. I just transferred $50 to my sportsbook account to start all over :(


I have no idea what got me to this. I've never been a gambler in my life. But I made some money early and thought I could keep winning.........

I have 1.8k coming in next week, this time I'll stick with the favourites. I'm getting that money back!! And then quitting for good.

Moral of the story is folks, don't gamble. You may win some, but in the long you you'll ALWAYS lose.



:mjgrin:



I can’t wait til it’s legal here

Honestly, if you're a knowledgeable NBA head who wants to bet on games with a chance of good money, best to just wait until the playoffs and "parlay" who you think will win each series for round 1. Parlay meaning you string together multiple picks (who wins the 1-8 matchup, the 2-7 matchup, etc) with the condition that ALL your picks have to be correct in order for you to win the bet.

The day-to-day regular season is a bit too unpredictable, but betting on who wins a playoff series is a bit easier since 5 or 6 of the 8 first round matchups might be fairly easy to call once the seedings are established. For example, if LAL, LAC, HOU, DAL are the top 4 seeds, then those teams + the Bucks make a fairly safe 5 team parlay.

Bet $100 on that and you make between $400-$600. Cash out some of that money and flip the rest for the 2nd round (rinse and repeat). Of course, it's easy to get greedy and try to parlay all 8 first round matchups so that the $100 you bet will net you a stack, just don't be mad when you go 7/8 in your picks and Bovada/5Dimes are left holding your cash like :umad:

Most places give back ur intital bet if u only have one loser on a 7+ parlay bet


And also, that math is wrong. If u parlay 4 or 5 teams with $100, ur gonna get more then 400 to 600 back unles the ML is something crazy like -300 for all teams
