Cavs cover. Im looking at Pacers +135 right now. smaller bet but I think the Rockets arent really playing well at the moment (for their own standards) and the long road trip is eventually gonna take a toll

Pacers +135 risk: 0.74u to win 1u
 
0.5u Wizards -1
0.5u Sixers +7

Wouldn't recommend tailing, not much thought process on these. Wizards are on fire and the Pelicans are super inconsistent. Sixers don't have Embiid, but they've been playing better lately (with and without him) and they Bulls are an absolute mess right now.

I cant bring myself to bet against the Bulls as theyre imploding lol. the sixers bet is a no brainer. even if you lose, that's the right play (i really hope you win, though)

Thanks man. I bet the Heat against them the other night (didn't post because it was very last second when I saw Butler and Wade weren't starting, sorry) so I figured I'd go with it again here lol.

yeah i was out that night and wasnt really checking scores or anything but after the game was over, i sat there and was like why didnt i bet on the heat? hindsight is 20/20 i suppose. did you have an opinion on the pacers game i played? (i ask bc i might live bet more on them if the opportunity presents itself)

Yup, I was kicking myself for not taking the moneyline too!

I looked at that game earlier and couldn't pick a side. I do like your reasoning though and you're looking good so far.
 
Any idea what that website is that streams all th different games? Asking for a friend...
 
2u on Cavs -7.5

I have one other lean today but as much as it pains me, ill pass on it and pocket the 3u.

My final Top 13 picks for Miss Universe 2016

· Barbados
· Brazil
· Costa Rica
· Haiti
· Indonesia
· Mexico
· Myanmar
· Nicaragua
· Panama
· Philippines
· Thailand
· USA
· Venezuela


My final Top 6 picks for Miss Universe 2016

T6: Indonesia
T6: Mexico
T6: Nicaragua
T6: Philippines
T6: Thailand
T6: Venezuela


NOTE: The Miss Universe Organization has decided a day before the coronation to name top 13 finalists instead of 12 as originally announced, as 213 million votes were cast by fans worldwide. The 13th spot will be voted on by fans around the world, and they'll act as a 7th judge.

The top 6 will each be asked a different question sourced from an online agency based in the US, while there will only be one question for the top 3, Shugart said.

Regarding my picks, I had a tough time finalizing my Top 6 women. While I wanted to pick Myanmar because she is well-rounded and had the BEST national costume (posted below in the spoiler), I chose to go with Thailand due to her height, being well-rounded, and the pop she got from the crowd during both the preliminary competition and the national costume competition.

Miss Universe starts today (Sunday) at 7pm PST / 7pm EST (tape delay on the West Coast)



The Top 13 are in:

• Brazil
• Canada (plus-size contestant who is doing the "natural body" movement thing)
• Colombia
• France
• Haiti
• Indonesia
• Kenya
• Mexico
• Panama
• Peru
• Philippines
• Thailand
• USA

I'm REALLY surprised Venezuela didn't make it into the Top 13... Pretty crazy, imo...

I also thought Nicaragua was a shoe-in for Top 13...
 
Are the green coloured ones recommended to take a stab on?

No.

The green colored countries are the countries who advanced to the next round. Look at who I originally picked, and then look at who actually advanced.

Top 3 Results

- Colombia

I originally had Colombia in my Top 13, but I honestly thought her fake tan was too much and that she wouldn't get far... I am really surprised France got to the Top 3, I didn't have her in my Top 13 at all. I'm also surprised no Asian women are in the Top 3.

Wizards are playing out of their minds EDIT: "right" now and cover easily. Sixers dug themselves a huge hole in the first quarter, came back, but ran out of steam at the end of the game. Split the two plays for a tiny loss.

Nice calls on Cavs and Pacers @iGnP

I bet on Colombia at +120 maybe they give it to Colombia b/c they fucked that country over last year, idk. France went through a lot in the last year as has Haiti, maybe one of them get it but Ill take a chance and say they make a make up call for screwing Colombia over last year.

edit: oh shit totally forgot this was on tv lol.
 
Did you actually make any bets, PR? I personally like Miss France best, but not sure if my taste is what goes, lol. I was super impressed that Miss Haiti knew that there were six species of humans only 100,000 years ago, but I don't think Steve Harvey liked that answer.
