NBA any one?

i didnt..im wondering about clippers..anyone bet or watching that

and what about the LA game?

come on knicks, OT please.

would be lolicious

lol

very unlikely though

noone watched any of clippers game? damnit

HELD BALL

WHATEVER that means

missed the 3

YOU CLOWN

lost my pictures

My feed has frozen right at the bloody death.

you lost knicks

same here, darlo

silly wisewords, threw away £60 profit there

I can see Portland have won from the market but my game is stuck on 13.8 seconds to go.

by not greening out at the necessary time

oh well, +23.50 better than a red, eh darlo?

right.. MAP OF THE WORLD.. which match you wanna concentrate on?

Green is good.

keep building the mountain, and all that

one day i'm gonna slam my full bank on an NBA team down 16

Like Heat last night at 6.4?

that day will be crazy, but i will do it.

yes, darlo.

not decided on a certain team or anything like that. but i smell the comeback if i watch the whole game. the commentators help alot

i put £20 on the heat at 6.8 last night

as a laugh, and it won

I keep thinking about laying a shortie on the football in a 1-0 or drawn match. For a one-off max lay, 1.0x is too short for one kick of a ball.

Darlo, you're right. It's very possible to find these sort of lays in football betting too

the way i figure is if i'm willing to risk any money on something, then it must be quite likely to happen.

I had a two or three week spell where I thought "this would be the one". I did it five or six times, and each time, they lost. As a multiple (impossible I know) it would have been better odds than winning the lottery.

i'm pretty angry with myself that i didn't manipulate my book in the 3rd there, when i could see exactly what would happen.

i could see that the knicks would close the score up, but eventually lose. they'd blown their time outs, they were conceding too many 3's.

was this with a multiple every time? or single bets?

I mean had I used the profit each time I'd be looking at massive odds.

There was a horse in-running at 1.01 (mind I would have laid at odds-on because of the commentator and it lost for entirely different reasons anyway)
A horse 1.20 pre-off and then 1.35 in-running.
A volleyball match (I don't even know how to play) which was 1.01
An Italian match where I was even calculating a lay at 1.04
A basketball match at 1.01

No times did I put any money on. I've just been trying to calculate in my head when to lay shorties for future use. Gutted I never once took any heed of my own inkling.

and these all got gubbed?

Yep. They were gubbed. I was gutted.

But how on earth would I think "let's lay this 1.01 volleyball"? I didn't know the teams, didn't know the scoring, etc, etc. It was nothing more than a hunch. A very good as it transpired.

It happens all the time. People have no patience. They just want to back o2.5 in the Man Utd match at 1.78 and become rich.

I have similar 'stupid' inclinations. But notice that you also may have them for things that don't occour, but you forget about those

My own strategy is all about patience. Lots of it. Once in a while, I just want to rip it all up and lay a short price for a lot and become rich!!

Darlo, patience is the biggest factor to successful betting. And also NO BET.

I used to look for a bet when there was nothing there when I was a noob.

Thought I had to bet on everything to win alot.

This afternoon, on the 3pm KO's, I sat there and in the end I made 2 bets in the whole time. There was about 100 games going on

one bet earnt me £100, and the other earnt me £25.

considered countless others that won, and also a couple that lost too. important thing was that i took only ones that won.

I try and make as many bets as I can. I don't mind if they only make 1p sometimes. But that's why I need patience, because sometimes I need lots of small wins to add up. But I totally appreciate what you mean about not forcing a bet where one doesn't exist.

That comes from desperation to win more green. The green will arrive in mysterious ways.

but the day will come, and i will lay a very short price for my whole bank.

nuggets doing a nice job here.

market has no clue about this game, hence the little money traded on it

There was a match a few weeks ago where both teams traded 1.01 right on the buzzer. That's the time to lay a short price!!

also in soccer, in a goalfest game, it can be 0-0 ht, and the price for under 3.5 and under 4.5 can be very short

lay these big, and become RICH

example from today: swindon v portsmouth. 0-0 ht, 0-0 until about 60 mins, 5-0 ft.

There must be some modelling which makes goal markets trade at the correct prices, but I do look at them and think the price drop is too linear.

doesn't factor in 'collapse' though

as in, once the first goal goes in against them, certain teams will collapse

whereas other teams will harden in their resolve. it's about knowing the teams makeup / confidence / ability etc

I don't think it factors in the fact a goal is more important late on. If you're 1-0 down after 19 minutes you have 71 to score. 1-0 down after 89 minutes and you need to score. Which also leaves gaps at the other end.

that collapse effect is huge though. a team low on confidence in a relegation dogfight will start to fall to pieces when they concede against a strong in form team late on

Yeah. I've seen it first hand a few times.

clippers streak in big danger

Very big danger.

think they can put together a big run?

even if they don't win, a run to close within 5 say?

The script would suggest so!

i got that feeling, but their shooting from far out has been pretty bad

think it's dead

Agree. This game is done now.

if they did recover, the NBA would be going on about it for ages

like OH MY GOD GREATEST COMEBACK

Game well and truly over so that's me done too.

nothing to it

thats why im number 1

oh wow clips getting killed

hmm anyone watching la

wheres everyone gone they were talking few mins back

sorry map, was away

ah hey

watching la?

yeah, down 4 at ht

what to do eh any idea with that game

spread for them with books is -4.5 so they're -8.5 for 2nd half

total 202.5

geez

damn down 8

6pt game la shooting good %

reckon it's gonna be close till the end but LA win by 2-3

6pt game still come on kobe

boom 2pt game

LAKERS LAKERS

damn la looks like GSM they lose

103-99 la lose at homre by 4 sheesh
