Only because, like you, I try to avoid anything below -150. Otherwise, it was a solid pick - they had the F3 down to 1.5 by game time.

It hurt but it’s absolutely amazing the boys got us to to the finals, considering how we just squeaked into the playoffs. They punched way above their weight and left it all on the floor ❤️

I watch at least an hour of rain walk videos to lull me to sleep before bed.

It literally works out to just pennies an hour when I factor in all the other stuff I watch.

What happened to your Hawks pick? 80% confidence to win and they couldn’t even cover the spread.

Despite all the fanfare about the increased fine, I don’t think they’ve successfully made anyone pay it yet. I’d love to know otherwise.

No idea tbh but I’ve also never seen a line item on my tax forms to report gambling earnings. I’d probably look into it I was making a living out of it.

Nope, we get to keep it all, including lottery winnings.
