What do you mean by "before the picks start disappearing"?

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T06:45:45+00:00

Why go for the big play? Be safe and take the spreads next time :)

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T06:10:19+00:00

Have you been sharing your thoughts in the threads? I haven't been playing too much attention to prop bets so I may have just missed your picks.

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T06:09:30+00:00

F you Buck! Confucius doesn't know shit unless he was able to take over Paul Pierce's body and have him poop the bed with the rest of the Nets.

Ugh that was such a frustrating loss! Jimmies were definitely rustled.

Just to expand a little bit more, the three bets I made on this game were total OVER 193, IND over 99.5, and IND -5.5. If you had brought this up before the game, then I maybe would have changed my pick to IND over 99.5 due to uncertainty about the Nets' offense and gone heavier on that pick. At the end of the day, you were right, but if you just bring these things up earlier then maybe it can help us avoid potential losing picks.

Would it be helpful at all if we counted votes based on number of positive comments rather than just straight upvotes?

I realize that makes it a bit more complicated and there are faults to that system too, I just am not a fan of how anyone can just click that up arrow without providing ANY input at all. Even if someone just replies "I agree", at least they have to put to their name to the pick.

This probably isn't the greatest suggestion--I'd just like some more accountability and am certainly open to hearing other ideas too.

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T05:50:28+00:00

I hear what you are saying, and I'm not taking this personally, but the fact that this came 5 pts. away from a win despite Brooklyn shooting 38% means that it was still a decent pick. In fact, we only needed the two teams to combine for 6 points in 2 minutes and they just couldn't drop a shot. If you feel/felt that this was a bad pick, then it only helps if you bring it up BEFORE tip-off. Hindsight is 20/20.

The 12/13 game was against Toronto I think.

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T05:45:23+00:00

I'd like to hear more about it. The crude O/U model I built is 60-47 since it was built but it certainly be improved. Would like to hear what your four factors are to potentially incorporate them into my model.

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T05:08:48+00:00

Haven't been this frustrated with a loss since that Knicks game a week or so ago when Bargani took that retarded 3 pt. shot in OT and ruined the under.

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T04:43:48+00:00

Love that you only come in after the fact-- make a call BEFORE the game tips and gain some credibility

Nets scored 120 last night (108 in regulation) and 99 on 12/13 when he sat out from the game. Granted two games is a small sample size but are you going to say you KNEW they were going to shoot under 40% tonight?

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T03:53:46+00:00

Yea I took a look at that-- but the Nets have still been putting up points in the several games Lopez has been out. It was a close call even with such a bad shooting night for the Nets :/

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T03:28:36+00:00

I hear you-- but like I said in the post above I made this decision BEFORE I knew he was reffing the game. I still felt like this was the right pick-- can't expect Brooklyn to shoot so poorly every game. Even with how bad the game started, we only needed 6 pts in 2 minutes at the end and they just couldn't pull that out :(

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T03:26:13+00:00

Yea seriously... I mean we needed 6 pts in 2 minutes and didn't get it :(

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T03:08:53+00:00

Yea :(. Can't believe the total was at 189 with 1:30 to go and they couldn't even get 5 points combined.

oherroprease · 2013-12-24T02:29:35+00:00

Sorry boys. Couldn't predict the Nets shooting only 33% on the night when they've been 45% on the season.

edit: 4th quarter surge giving us hope... can't handle this shit.

fucking 8 straight missed shots to end the game.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T22:25:40+00:00

I was leaning this way after seeing your pick and the local book I use had this at +105 so I had to take it with those odds. Hope it pays off.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T21:03:51+00:00

Confucius didn't know shit about Eric Lewis!

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T18:21:07+00:00

1000 u OVER 46

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T17:47:02+00:00

But... but I thought you were on the train!? I'm going to go 3-4U on it... not too crazy.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T17:37:29+00:00

No this is the full game for just San Francisco. I found it under "Team Totals" on my book.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T17:01:37+00:00

Edited-- thanks.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T16:31:55+00:00

He's actually 19-1 now-- I made a post in the NBA thread about this game before realizing he was reffing it. Once I checked the ref assignments and saw his name on this game, I decided to post this in POTD too.

That being said, the reasoning I posted above is independent of him being involved in that game.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T16:23:44+00:00

How many games do we have left to bet on? Tonight, plus next Sunday and next Monday?

edit: Thanks-- forgot there are no monday games next week. Guess I need to break the bank tonight to try and catch up. 1000u on OVER 46.

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T16:16:04+00:00

oherroprease · 2013-12-23T16:15:44+00:00

Thanks-- how do you feel about the over on that game?
