a quick obama money aside: how stupid were the bookies which, when Silver (and others) had the chance of victory at 91% last night, were still offering 1.4 in some places? I would have suspended betting right after Sandy; most books probably got cleaned out last night.

Mavs -6.5 tonight. My buddy was at the Thunder-Raptors game last night and said Toronto looks like absolute poo poo. The Mavs are pretty hot right now too.

2-4 That Wiz/Celtics under was a terrible beat, they had 79 points at halftime. Bobcats was rough too, loving Shannon Brown heats up.

There are two ways to lose an NBA bet:
1. The wagered team starts the first half covering comfortably. The bettor relaxes, maybe switches channels to catch some Sons of Anarchy, or Seinfeld reruns. The bettor flips back in the 3rd to see that their side came out allowing a 12-0 run, and are no longer covering. The game ends in a brutal 1-2 point loss.

2. The wagered team immediately falls behind the number. The bettor says 'gently caress it!' and either switches over to Sons of Anarchy/Seinfeld, or hangs on to watch. As the bettor either watches live or constantly refreshes their ScoreMobile app, their side fights back to cover. Hope springs. Their side slips away in the 4th for a brutal loss.

One way to win an NBA bet:
1. Sheer, dumb luck, or you accidentally checked off the wrong side on the bet slip.

This right here is the secret to winning.

Cavs+4.5
Pacers +2.5

2u each

YTD: 7-12 (-13.24u)

Really like the Bucks to cover 3.5 vs. Wizards

took that for 2U

and then parlayed Bucks -3.5, Nets -3, Spurs -6, and Cavs ML at 1U to win 15U

YTD 5-4 (+3U)

In college betting. Homer bet on North Texas +10 @ Creighton. 2 of UNTs best players (but not best) didn't make grades and did not play in the spring. I expected this line to be around +6 but that's what happens when Creighton is #16.

taking your tip, my book has them at 10.5 which is just massive.

I'll bite on NT as well. I'm in Dallas, so I like a good opportunity to bet on them.

Also on MIA tonight. Wanted IND at +2 but they've fallen back to +1.5 and I'm second guessing myself now.

edit: I've also got some UFC picks for tomorrow.

- Rich Franklin really, really ought to win tomorrow. Cung Le is on the lower end of the downside of his career - they're really trying to squeeze one more main event out of him, since this is the UFC's first foray into China. Additionally, all signs point to Franklin retiring when the 2 fights on his contract are finished, so I imagine he's really wanting to win so that he can get one final big fight.

It's a 5 rounder, and I don't think either quite have the gas for that at this point in their careers. Franklin by stoppage is -195, by TKO/KO is -150. If you're feeling ballsy, Franklin in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are +305, +500, and +525.

- I really wish I would have moved on Gomi earlier. I saw him at +235 about a week or so ago, but his odds have fallen quite a bit (as a matter of fact, right now Gomi outright is +190, and his odds to win inside distance are +180 ). Right now, I wouldn't touch anything, but if odds creep back up to ~+220 for a Gomi win or ~+250 for a Gomi win by stoppage, it's probably worth a play. Danzig should be able to wrestle his way to a victory, but he is also stupid and may just let Gomi punch his head off.

- Possibly leaning towards Paulo Thiago by stoppage. Just like the Gomi fight, his opponent should be able to keep him pinned down for a majority of the fight and win a decision, but Thiago definitely has a shot to pull out a stoppage victory. Right now, it's +350 for a Thiago stoppage.

- I also wanted to bet against a lot of the Asian fighters on the card, since they're mainly there to draw a local crowd and not because they're real contenders, but good god, the UFC found some cans to line them up against. While researching these guys, I actually think I might have talked my way into betting for Tiequan Zhang, a very not good fighter, because his opponent, Jon Tuck, is getting -300 in his debut UFC fight (if you don't consider losing in the opening round of The Ultimate Fighter).

I may add some more if 5D puts up points handicap lines. I think those don't go up until the day of.
