Here's where u can talk about a bet u made. Brag about a bet u won , or lament about a bet u lost. Especially for bets where u barely won. Or unique bets where u bet on a huge underdog and won. Shit like that that u just need to let out.

Tonight I was on a slippery slope with the wild Thunder - Jazz game. Goddamn.

Somewhere in the 3rd quarter I put a $100 moneyline bet on the Thunder. Didnt watch the game but was nervous as I kept checking the score and saw it was in 2OT. Somehow they came up with the 148-147 victory (even after Russ fouled out) and I won $67 or some shit.

I was going to go in on the Thunder -2.5 and then I thought better of it, seeing as how the game was even throughout. Good thing I didn't. I learned my lesson the night before when I went Warriors by -2.5, and lost when they won by only 2.

I did a throwaway bet on the way out the door in Vegas. NFL 7 team parlay against the spread 100-1. Unfortunately it was a 2 dollar bet. It was a Sally the Secretary bet with no thought whatsoever.

well last night I bet on the Kings to cover AND WIN in OKC. OKC of course on a back to back the night after the 2OT win against the Jazz. Surely the Kings were motivated to win and OKC would run out of gas in the end, and that's what happened.

Was really staring at putting a big bet on the Warriors at home vs Suns tonight.

Man I am glad I didn't do that. Lost a few bucks on the spread but ok.

Against my better judgment I am playing Parx today. Cancelled a 6-1 winner in the 1st in #3 Only Essa, but just hit in the 4th with #9 True Blue at 7-1.

I'd be surprised if True Blue didn't get claimed. He looked really sharp for such a low stakes horse. He belongs in $25K races or higher, not $7.5K.

JORR, there's one for you. Kentucky bred grandson to Medaglia d'Oro. If you claim him, I want a 20% stake.

#4 Face of Victory in the 7th at GP.

15-1 but had a 15% WP, adjusted for stakes, second best to the favorite, Driven By Thunder (8-5) with 17%. He was at a 50% discount by that metric.

Ran 1 1/16 mi on the turf in 1:40:51. Holy cow! Paid $32.40.

pissed off.

Bet Portland to win tonight in a parlay and on a live bet when they were down 12 in the first half.


Then my dumbass in the 4th quarter thought the Thunder would win and put down $500 to win $50. Basically to negate the would-be losses on the original bets.
Portland came back and won.

Fuckin' pissed off right now.

How the hell do I explain this to a poster like Frank Costanza? He's gonna roast me even more now.

might be a good time to put a bet on the Clippers (+2500) winning the series.

You never know.

Also I was able to get Clippers at +10.5. Spread is too big.

barely winning lately.

Put big money down on the Rockets in Game 4 when they had a huge lead, Warriors came back and almost won. I won $45.

Tonight, put big money down on GS when they had a 14 point lead. Rockets came back and almost won. GS pulled it out without Durant. I won $62.

put a few bets on the Warriors, covering the spread and winning.

Only regret is I didn't put more money on the moneyline. Coulda damn near tripled my money.
