Don't flatter yourself. I'm up well over 75 Units on the NBA this season. Went 6-1 on my 100K challenge and my loss was on a hook because Kemba Walker couldn't make a late free throw or else I would have most likely completed the 100K challenge. So show some respect because when it comes to the NBA I am pound 4 pound the $harpest capper on Sherdog without a doubt. Not trying to lay into you guy, but it's time I get some respect around here because I've been making a lot of lurkers and regulars here a bunch of money posting my exclusive picks. You're talking to someone who bets for a living so I know what I'm talking about!!!

You literally made $0 on your 100k challenge lol. There's still a lot of games left before the NBA season comes to an end. Why dont you start another 100K challenge? Highly doubt you make it back to 6 straight ;)
 
PSG, City, Bayern, Napoli, Dortmund are all playing very winnable games right away. Did some little 2 leg combo parlays with them. I would warn that Bologna are capable of a draw though - with both Destro and Higuain out it could easily be 0-0.

Barry can't possibly be who he makes himself out to be. There's no way someone that bombastic, arrogant, and successful can actually exist.

Dortmund tomorrow, stupid eyes.

PSG, Bayern, Napoli (lol at 0-0 guess, 6-0) all hit. City missed. 3/4 I'll take.
 
@Soccer Steve

Barry was literally THE laughingstock of the betting threads for a long time. He'd come back whining and saying stuff like "I'm finished, I can't do this anymore. I just lost another $xxxx and it has to stop". I'm serious, he'd post stuff like that in here and it was like you could feel the despair of a problem gambler that just kept betting and just kept losing. Then seemingly overnight he's gone to this "I'm a professional, I'm a sharp, I bet for a living" schtick. It's honestly really bizarre. Myself, Ignp, Obvlivian, maybe Joe B at the end, Edole, and some others remember sad case Barry. We mocked him yes, but he was a lovable loser. Now he's just an obnoxious loser.

That said, he's picked some NBA winners so gotta give him some props at least. And every now and then he makes a good MMA pick. But when he calls Cain (-500), Ronda (-1200), and Conor (-400) "locks that can't lose" and then they do, he won't say anything other than "Uhh, the altitude beat Cain." And not a peep about Rousey or Conor at those insanely steep odds.

So maybe, MAYBE he is a legit NBA capper. But for MMA he still sucks horribly. It's just now I don't feel bad when he loses like I used to.
 
MLB

Sorry haven't posted in a few days but you guys haven't missed much. After a hot streak that put me solidly in the black ytd, I've basically leveled off over the last few days. Haven't given any back but haven't added much either. There are 2 plays I do like tonight though for sure.

TB Rays team total over 4 for 2u

The Rays offense isn't all that great, but as I've said previously I will still take a below average major league lineup vs a below average pitcher. And Red Sox starter Joe Kelly is definitely below average. His last start he went 5 innings and gave up no runs, but that was an anomaly given that he put a whopping TWELVE men on base over those 5 innings (7 hits, 5 walks). He somehow wriggled out of trouble time and again but that hasn't been the norm for him. His ERA has been well over 4 over the last 2 years and his WHIP is an unimpressive 1.39 over the last 3 years. He was shelled in his first start this season so even with his 5 scoreless innings in his latest outing his ERA is over 10. He's just not that good and he walks too many hitters. This over 4 is at -110 and I'd bet ANY major league lineup to score 4 or more runs against Kelly at evens.

Cleveland Indians team total over 4 for 1u

Wade Miley has been blasted in both his first two outings. Granted, both were against the Rangers who have a better offense than Cleveland, but Miley just isn't very effective anymore. His 3 year averages show an ERA over 4 and a WHIP of 1.36. So far this year his K's have been better than normal and his BB's have been lower and he's STILL gotten blasted. If those numbers normalize, he's really gonna get crushed.
 
Unreal. Miley has given up FIVE hits through two innings and the freaking Indians hit into inning ending double plays in both and don't score. So frustrating. Plenty of game left but ugh.
 
I don't have a strong lean in this game but I'm a degen and have to bet : Hawks -6.5 for 0.5u

I like the Grizzlies +18 too but not sure how many I'm willing to risk (if any at all)
 
And...Joe Kelly leaves hurt in the first inning for Boston. Fade the guy and he gets injured and now they probably use better pitchers than he is for the rest of the game. Bizarro night.
 
got ate up on man city earlier.

hit atlanta hawks. got a blackhawks pitsburgh pirates double in play now (i know nothing about nhl or mlb), looks dead already.
 
Went EZ-less for tennis picks today. Do favourites ever lose? lol. Was suspiciously easy to bet.
 
throw whatever you can on West ham to beat watford tonight, watford putting out a reserve team due to the fa cup semi final over the weekend

lol I just saw this, went to the betting tab, West Ham 1.5? 'accept any odds changes', place bet, 5, 4, 3 .... odds change to 1.15, line suspended :p (1-0....)
 
Was -220 good enough? I only did a 1.1u bet to win .5u. I barely know anything about football

did you just place it? the odds are now 1.15 (-800). Yea -220 was good enough, I mean, free money is free money ;)

after missing the boat @ 1-0 I did West Ham (-0.5, -1) asian handicap @ 1.8... (-120ish)... with a bigger stake...
