NOT soccer (wait that IS soccer right or something else? ) Hopefully you get some better luck now with the soccer betting

Based on the regular season records lol That's why they were playing all these games before the playoffs started. So then now the top teams (like Bucks, Lakers, Clippers, Raptors) are facing the bottom teams that BARELY even qualified (like the Blazers ). And it goes from there based on their win/loss record so like the mid-tier teams are going at it right now in Round 1 - OKC Thunder vs. Houston Rockets being one of them

[JerseyWins]

2/6

Risked: $150
Return: $114.54

Profit/Loss: -$35.46

Overall: 101/182 (+$426.99)

I suck now I mean I'm not surprised tho lol, the playoffs are so damn unpredictable from game to game.

Gonna keep going at it. Also going for the Denver Nuggets AGAIN. Surely eventually it'll work out lol...

Nuggets can't flop every time right

Yeah it is but I had to use it on that game otherwise if it'd been a free choice I probs would've used it on NBA even though I've sucked way more than you at it

I don't get it Like how it was decided which teams would play each other in this round and why the top/bottom teams are together and the midpack ones And NO WAY Bucks are gonna be a top team after this season, such a flop

[JerseyWins]

Added this lil boost bet

Surely they can They actually seem so overmatched by the Jazz but I'm just stubborn to go against them after I've already went for them 3 times in a row (tbf they've also won one for me when I bet them in the first game of these playoffs so one more today & they're 2-2 )

Ahhh you'll be waaay in the + once you get the game & start understanding spread betting more

And lmaooo the Bucks are pretty damn good, that were #1 ranked this season (from before the restart in July - after the restart they were already guaranteed #1 seeding from winning so much and had nothing to play for so they didn't care much ). That said, they can still flop in the later rounds of these playoffs when they face TOUGH competition as well

As for the playoffs seeding/ranks... so like Top 8 in each conference qualify (with two conferences so 16 total playoff teams). Each conference plays each other in the playoffs until there's 1 each for the championship round. So it goes from 8 & 8 teams to 1 & 1 in one final round. The way the "seeding" (ranks) go for the playoffs is based on which team won the most games to the team that won the least games (of the top 8).

Using the Western Conference as an example, it was:

1. LA Lakers (52 wins)
2. LA Clippers (49 wins)
3. Denver Nuggets (46 wins)
4. Houston Rockets (44 wins)
5. OKC Thunder (44 wins)
6. Utah Jazz (44 wins)
7. Dallas Mavericks (43 wins)
8. Portland Trail Blazers (35 wins)

1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5... and then the same for the Eastern conference. And it's a bracket styled Best of 7 games elimination format all the way to 1 champion in the end

It's prob so confusing tho and I'm not great at explaining

Gahhh I'm SOOO unlucky with the over/under bets lately

Had the win going into the final seconds with under 213, then the score goes to 213 in the final seconds when the game was already out of hand anyway (ie. they should just be killing time / not caring for more points just finishing the game). Then the guy makes a contested final second shot for me to lose It went from 206 to 216 in like the final minute nnn

Oh well... also, won the boosted bet I posted above tho so there's that

[JerseyWins]

I got bailed OUT at the end of today's games! I thought I was gonna go 1/6 today but went 2/2 in my last game. And Denver CAME THROUGH for me

Btw Stacey this is a perfect example of point spread (going WELL )

I had Denver Nuggets +3.5... They lost 127-129 but I win my bet. With the +3.5 I win 130.5-129 so they lose -> I still win

Today's results:

3/6

Risked: $160
Return: $143.29

Profit/Loss: -$16.71

Overall: 104/188 (+$410.28)

Gah this playoffs betting has been so rough & I called it beforehand, just too unpredictable... I've lost (little amts thankfully tho) for daaays in a row now Screw it I'm gonna keep going at it tho

[JerseyWins]

Got a bunch of weeeird **** I'm betting on for $10 each in NBA tomorrow. Just experimenting with how this goes I've tried these type of bets long in the past and don't think they've gone too well overall but not that bad either so I'll give it a try for these games

Spoiler:

Trusting OKC again too Tbh I don't feel as good about it as last time but YOLO

Still better than point spread, but... that ain't hard

Nah though I do actually get it now. I've seen the Western/Eastern thing online before when I've looked it up so it makes sense to me

Hmm yeah I get that too. But what a strange type of betting to exist

Nuggets finally working it out

Oh I just saw now that I won my £5 free bet which is NICE too

[caprimint]

Because BUCKS SUCKS!!!

[JerseyWins]

Going OTT with these weird side-bet types but I added one more:



Best player on the Bucks

AHHHHH the way you HATE the Bucks

Nice tho, hope you get this

[caprimint]

Lost again

This **** is SO dumb

[JerseyWins]

Gahhh You were in solid position to win with the +13.5 like the whole game & then the Bucks turned it up at the end & you just BARELY lost

[Beso]

We need jersey to do some courtsiding for us brits.

[JerseyWins]

2/2 on the OKC game. THUNDER coming through again and over Gah Stacey you have such bad timing for when you don't bet the Thunder

[JerseyWins]

Aight back on the + side again at least

8/15 (3/5 on actual game bets, 5/10 on all the $10-20 random extra bets)

Risked: $265
Return: $282.47

Profit/Loss: +$17.47

Overall: 112/203 (+$427.75)

Only 2 NBA games tomorrow so I went for a biiit of baseball again too

Spoiler:

[caprimint]

Omg I did NOT expect OKC to win again but @ that. My luck on this lately though </333

[caprimint]

I know I said I wouldn't but...



I don't actually know either of these players () but I think there's a good chance it could be a draw so trying to cover it with the favourite winning. Maybe my luck will get better here

[caprimint]

Why for **** sake

[JerseyWins]

^ What happened?

Added in a bunch more little player-related bets for these 2 night NBA games

Spoiler:

[JerseyWins]

I HATE doing in-game bets because I think it can so easily spiral out of control if you keep doing them but as a one-time type of thing I'm going for it in this one!



Come on Nuggets! Make the comeback so I can win both my Nuggets bets

[JerseyWins]

Nuggets were losing 74-84... now they're winning 92-90

They going on a RUN. Let's gooooooo Denver keep it going!!!!! No jinxes tho

[JerseyWins]

Holy **** the Nuggets WON by 10

Nuggets back on my good list after this. 2/2 bets in one game on them I got 6/7 of my bets on that game as well (just barely missed out on 7/7)! AND a helluva thriller game so that was a REALLY fun one to watch

[caprimint]

Nuggets be slaying for you lately Those damn in-play bets though Oh and Jazz seem like the most irrelevant team ever. Like just soooo dull/boring

Oh and I lost just by like 1 point, I think the result ended up being 7-5 but tbf my guy played like ****
