Who's that posting using FA's handle ??
Looks like the mirror image of his usual betting slip.
May be the first time I have agreed with all his bets although I don't like half time bets. Also I don't think I would touch the Giants - Boys game. Romo unproven in post season and Eli is too schizo.
| By Khun_mor on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 09:17 pm: Edit |
Ouch !!
Looks like the Pats and those half time bets killed you .
Good luck to you tomorrow. I think your Indy bet is safe but as I said I don't think the Boys are by any means a lock to cover.

Additional Bets on Dallas
2 Team Parlay --- 2 units to win 5.2 units
Dallas -7 over Giants
Dallas over 47
Dallas -7 over Giants --- 2.2 units to win 2 units
1ST Half
2 Team Parlay --- 1 unit to win 2.6 units
Dallas -4
Dallas over 24
Dallas -4 --- 1.1 units to win 1 unit
I can't figire out why so many people like Giants, alot of experts think they will win outright, it doesn't make any sense, Dallas is clearly the better team, ussually when something doesn't make sense the experts and betting public get hammered.
We'll see.

Way to throw good money after bad !!
I hope these bets are "for entertainment purposes only".
A weekend that looked like a lock for all the favorites turned ugly.
That's why I gave up betting a year ago. In the long run you lose -- any way you slice it.

Wow I always thought FA was a big Playoff winner.
Seems like in 2006-2007 he was.
Thankfully not this time.
I made a small $50 bet on the money line. Giants to win $170.
A small bet on first half Giants +7
A small bet on the game Giants +12
Of course the one time I go small I go three for three but at least the Patriots and sore loser Belicheat lost and lost their bid for all the bullshit hype of a perfect season and greatest team ever crap.

Yea, fooledagain1 got hammered, by far my worst playoff performance in over 4 years of posting picks.
It appears the days of backing the dominate regular season teams in the postseason are over. Now that we're deep into free agency it's ruined teams ability to dominate in the post season.

Unfortunately for the Pats, the heat was on for spying on the other team. Do you really think the Giants were so good the Pats didn't have an answer for their offense or defense??? Or was it they just didn't have privy information this time??? Makes you go HMMMMMMMM

| By sampson on Wednesday, February 06, 2008 - 04:59 pm: Edit |
I think the Giants just got hot at the right time. They were very consistent on the road this year. I don't know if ever a team has one as a Road underdog 4 times. I know wild card teams have won the Super Bowl before but the best I can remember 4 games on the road and as an underdog this is the first time.

March Madness, Elite 8
Kansas to win title (+275) --- 1.5 units to win 4.12 units
UCLA to win title (+300) --- 1 unit to win 3 units
Carolina's drill'in people but I like Louisville + points if it was a couple more points, thought it might be 8 or so based on how Carolina's playing, I'll pass for now and look to next round if Carolina covers.

I like Davidson and the 9 or 10 that are available tomorrow.
| By sampson on Sunday, March 30, 2008 - 05:21 pm: Edit |
First time ever four number one's advanced to the final four. I hope the games are good as 2 of the last four were blowouts, and Louisville was never in danger of winning....that last game was really fun to watch. I thought for sure Davidson would pull it out.
| By Fooledagain1 on Monday, March 31, 2008 - 06:27 am: Edit |
Wow, what a game, Davidson gave Kansas a big scare. I was a little worried coming in as 3 number 1's already had advanced and thought there'd be 1 upset for sure.
Kansas got they're bad game out the way, the moneys coming in on Carolina already, I'll look to back Kansas as Carolina hasn't had a close game yet but probally will before all is said and done.
The team least likely to win the title.... Memphis, are you out there John Calipari ??

Wow, how good is Boston playing ??? They're defense is on onther level, and they've put together one of the most dominating season in NBA history.
Fooledagain1's Favorites to win the Title.
LA Lakers to win the West (+200) --- 3 units to win 6 units
Lakers are the best in the west, but injuries could affect they're chances, I'll take some small action and a wait and see approach for now and look for oppurtunitys down the road to back the Lakers.

FA Nice day for you. Good thing you passed on the under.
Who ever figures in overtime in over/under bets?
| By Fooledagain1 on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 06:07 am: Edit |
Actually the game still went under the total of 147, the 142 was my prediction of total points scored in the game, it was going way under with Kansas's sufficating defense before the overtime.
I could of hit the parlay with under in 1st half and game, oh well.
With a little help of the overtime, I pretty much called the game to a T, off by just 2 pts with Kansas margin of victory and off by just 1 pt on the total points scored.

2008 NBA Playoffs
EAST
no.1 Boston --- Finished the season one of the best statistical teams in NBA history.
They're 10.2 margin of victory is better than any of Bird's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, The Bad Boy Pistons, Shag and Kobe's Lakers, or Ducan's Spurs teams. And better than 3 of MJ'S 6 Bulls title teams, just a shade behind 2 Bulls title teams.
WOW, that's damn impressive.
I would look for Boston to do some special things this postseason. Likely set some records, they could win a game by 40 even 50 pts, they are that good.
They're defense is off the charts, much better than the 2cd best defense in the league.
no.2 Detroit --- Pistons are back on they're game, possible title contender. The 2cd best team in the league.
no.3 Orlando --- Nice team, could make some noise, Det better be ready in 2cd round. Slim chance to win title.
no.4 Cleveland --- Defending conference champs, not very good, slim, slim chance to return to finals.
| By Fooledagain1 on Saturday, April 19, 2008 - 09:21 am: Edit |
2008 NBA Playoffs
WEST --- The west is much deeper from top to bottom that the East, sure they are, however, they're is no great or dominate team, possibly the Lakers could be but injuries have taken away they're best big-man, Bynum, who had elavated his game this season.
With no dominate teams, surprises could be in-store, not likely any of these teams could challenge the 2 best teams, Boston or Det in the finals.
no.1 Lakers --- Best team in the west, however, injuries could derail LA. A tad weak in rebounding, they need Bynum back in the worst way and as for now doesn't look so good.
But still a strong contender to win the west.
With a healthy Bynum, could challenge Boston or Det.
no 2. New Orleans --- Weak no.2 seed, more lucky than good, slim, slim chance to win the title.
I'll be looking for oppurtunities to go agaisnt this team.
no. 3 San Antonio --- Experienced teams don't win titles, good teams do, and the Spurs are way, way off they're game.
Slim, slim chance to win the title.
no. 4 Utah --- Possible surprise team, could win the west.
no. 5 Houston --- Many injuries, slim chance to win the title.
no. 6 Phoniex --- Pathetically weak rebounding team, a team similar in style to Phoniex comes along most every season, rarely can they beat the top contenders, but will beat every non-contender put in front of them. Excellent oppurtunities vs non- contenders.
If this teams ever planning on going to the finals this is the type of season they better do it. With no dominate teams in the west other than possibly the Lakers who are nursing injuries, the Suns better make they're move.
no. 7 Dallas --- Possible surprise team, could win the west.
no. 8 Denver --- For some strange reason many experts seem to like Denver come playoff time, slim chance to none to win the west.

Suns 1st half +1 --- 2.2 units to win 2 units
| By sampson on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 10:00 am: Edit |
Value is as perceived. One could make this argument:
If Cleveland is the favorite in the game and you get points with them for only 1/2 the game then that is great value.
| By Fooledagain1 on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 05:14 pm: Edit |
I'm not so sure about that. Backing Cavs +3 in 2cd half , while up by 13, gives you Cavs -10 on the game, if you didn't like the Cavs to start the game at -2, why would you like them at -10 ?
The NBA is a game of runs, more often than not, teams with double digit leads at half will not hold that half time lead.
In this case they did hold it and build on it, but overall the odds are against it based on history.
| By Fooledagain1 on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 05:31 pm: Edit |
Dallas down 16 at halftime
Dallas 2cd half -4 (+106) over NO --- 1 unit to win 1.06 units
That's +12 for the game, you wouldn't take Dallas +12 for the game ? NO already had they're run, making 61.5% from the field and 55% from 3 pt land.
When teams make everything they throw up that's when they have they're run, however that's not maintainable and it's highly likely Dallas will have a run of they're own b4 it's over.
I should of parlayed the 2cd half with Suns and over.
| By sampson on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - 11:35 am: Edit |

The game was like 60-40 betting in favor of Orlando, so it was not a big house decision.
| By Fooledagain1 on Sunday, May 11, 2008 - 11:15 am: Edit |
It wasn't a big score for the house, but they got some back, but lost it on Cavs beating Boston.
That's one reason I thought Boston would beat Cavs coz the house was due.
You can make out fairly well by just following whether the public wins or loses and bet accordingly.
The public has done well recently, on Utah game and Cavs, now they're throwing moneny on Lakers over Utah in game 4. I think Utah is the right play, and the public throwing money on LA is a added bonus and with the house being due I'll look to back Utah with strong play.
I would look for the house to win with Utah and Boston in game 4's. I'll likely parlay the 2.

You got Utah +1....then line started Utah -5 and got bet down to -1 and -1.5.....never saw the line swing to La being favored. Yes the suckers lined up to bet LA today...I didn't bet the game, but you could see that coming.
| By Fooledagain1 on Monday, May 12, 2008 - 05:29 am: Edit |
The line opened -2.5 or -3 and was bet down to pk and +1 at most places I saw including vegas, once it went to +1 LA money came in and pushed it back to -1 or -1.5, where I think it closed.
| By sampson on Monday, May 12, 2008 - 01:40 pm: Edit |
The line opened at Utah -5...some places ended at Utah -3.5 and some lower. That is great that you found Utah +1.

Game 4

I would expect the Celts to come out pretty motivated tonight considering how they've been embarrased on the road, if they don't put out a real good effort I'd have to question the heart of this team.
I can't see them losing back to back games twice already, vs Atlanta then vs Cavs, just can't see it.
I'll probally regret not going down much bigger.

boston +3? ohh that Celtics. The one you saw during the regular season.

Ha, ha, ha, funny stuff !!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the Celts look like a bunch of hacks, a shadow of the team we saw in the regular season.
I'll bet they'll be heard from before all is said and done.

Celts are killing me, but I'll likely get it all back and more next round vs Det, the experts are all lining up on Det and you know what that means.

This year NBA playoffs on Mexican TV not split by conference (last year could see at least west conference games on espn latin america) -- half of the country can't see ANYTHING of the playoffs. Thank god for pirated internet feeds. Or is that a curse, since the fucking NBA is a minor league in the world sports scene now?
| By sampson on Saturday, May 17, 2008 - 12:40 am: Edit |
This is probably the most compelling NBA playoffs that I can remember, and it still pales next to NFL, NCAACF, NCAABB, and MLB.....I guess they are moving in the right directions with players like James and Hall....I hate the Laker's but nice to see how they move the ball and play more of a team game....be good for ratings if the final is Boston/LA
I found it interesting that Utah started -2 and went up to -4 even though the money all came in on LA...like they were asking for people to bet LA...this time the public got the dough...doesn't happen very often like that though.

Chris Paul perhaps ??
