$200 2/3 - T-Wolves (-17) @ GSW - I'm not great on the road. I might still win, but not by that much.

$100 - 2/14 - Bucks @ Kings - pick'em - I like home teams. Call it a sickness.

$200 - 2/5 - Celtics (-5) @ Cavs - Except here. Feels like a trap game but I'm still going to go with the Celtics.

$100 Is the ASG MVP a:
Center - 3/1
Forward - 1/1
Guard - 2/1 - I think this is a good value bet. There are enough good guards to make this work.

$100 2/15 - Jazz @ Mavs - Player of game:
Duncan or Jamison - 1/3
Field - 4/1 - LET'S GO BONZI OR ANDRE!

[Soundwave]

$700 2/7 - Will more home teams or road teams win on 2/7?
Home - 1/2
- The home team schedule on this day is STACKED! Will not pay much, but This is about as confident as I have been on any pick'em bet yet.


$300 2/15 - Jazz @ Mavs - Player of game:
Duncan or Jamison - 1/3
Field - 4/1
- Not as confident here but the odds are too good to not lay some money on this.

[Conroy]

$400 - 2/5 - Celtics (-5) @ Cavs - probably not good to bet this much on yourself, and feels like a trap. No reverse curse here.
$300 - 2/7 - Will more home teams or road teams win on 2/7? - Always lean towards home teams anyways, then you have teams like Philly, Sacramento, Denver, and Dallas all playing at home feels safe.
Home - 1/2
Is the ASG MVP a:
$150 Center - 3/1 - Putting all my eggs in the Duncan basket
Forward - 1/1
Guard - 2/1 -
$200 - 2/14 - Bucks @ Kings - pick'em- Kings strictly because they are at home.

ALL STAR GAME - East vs. West - pick'em
$1 West wins. The only good thing the East does well is suck each other off.


2/13 - Bucks (-3) @ Celtics
$0 Celtics

2/14 - Bucks @ Kings - pick'em
$0 Kings

Bucks record for 2/13-14:
2-0 - 3/2
1-1 - 3/2
0-2 - 3/1

$999 on 0-2

Because Frye this traping OP ass team with the only team to have two current purples in the league. Not only did this team trape a new GM, but also a new divisional GM! Yet other east teams are eager to defend that vile excuse of a trade. No guilt shown, and only the numb-of-heart can sctually sit there and watch it happen.

Glad I bet on a game that wasn't even in the sim.


That should be an automatic winner

[IamQuailman]

Didn't realize that Ryan had put the pickem through 2/15... February is usually through 2/14 (go back and check).

I'd rather just carry over those bets to next sim rather than sim the extra day to keep sim schedules consistent. Waiting for feedback from Sim Vegas Mob Boss, Syndicate. But that would be the ideal. Not like it changes anything. no conference is getting "extra money" next sim.

[TheSyndicate]

Those bets will be adjudicated when the sim happens.

Free suspense, everybody! Sorry I got the dates wrong, didn't realize you stop on the 14th for February.
