serge 904 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I am not sure if its my circle of friends, my region , facebook etc but it seems that the public is backing the Knights in an unprecented way..Not sure what the exact number would be but I am thinking very high.. Bodes well for the Capitals. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 While I’m not a huge NBA fan by far, that was really a fun game. The atmosphere is pretty crazy. It started pretty scary for the home team down 17. But they took control in the second half. One thing I don’t remember from when I use to go to games before in Toronto. Timeouts are long. 3:30 minutes is forever. I thought it used to be 20 second and 60 second time-outs before? Bob? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TV timeouts on national games during the regular season and all playoff games are longer. Have to pay those bills. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Its pretty amazing the odds in these NBA finals. I have seen lines up to +700 for the Cavs.. Crazy.. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Congrats Daniel on winning a cool $3 milly last night. While Justin Bonomo "won" $5 milly I am guessing( i could be wrong) Daniel actually made more. Bonomo is on a major heater where he has won like $15 million in the last 6 months. However in the high roller community, most players are backed with investors and play only a small percentage of themselves. He has been around a long time, and has come back after being banned from several online sites for cheating for multi accounting. That was a long time ago, and now he is one of the most respected players in the game. I was pulling for Koon to do a bit better. He is a great guy and just got coolered when he flopped two pair vs Bonomo's bigger two pair.. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Anyone ever heard the term emotional hedge? For example lets say I want the Caps to win the Cup...The Knights are paying currently +440..I should put like $20 on it.. If the Caps win great, you are happy that they won. If they lose just won some nice money on good odds.. Emotional hedge..Its a thing. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that’s pretty smart to be honest - I’ve done it a long time ago - never really helped since at the time I was gambling much bigger bets and the thing I cared about was a hometown team that was much more important...but I think if it isn’t something you are bonkers die-hard over, a couple hundred bucks could help you get over it Link to post Share on other sites

I think its at least mid 4 digits.. Link to post Share on other sites
