All My Parlays Lost – Discouraged, but not giving up!

That is the parlay life. Got to be able to stomach the losses in between big wins.

Fenerbache/Virtus Bologna over 168 +170 for 1 unit. Taking my talents to Europe on this one. My Euro league betting record depends on this game.

100% boost on Draftkings risking 1.5 units to win 7.38 units – Sengun over 25 points/assists – Rockets over 114.5 – Ohio +8 and over 17.5 team total. Toledo is favored in this game. I do not think they should be. Ohio’s offense has looked great since their loss to rival Miami. Toledo are not bad, but I think Ohio will simply score more. Pacers cannot play interior defense well enough to stop Sengun. Should bang easy, especially if Jalen Green is out. He is questionable as of writing.

No sweat bet risking 2.5 units to win 18.79 units. Lillard 3 threes and 25 points. Fred VanVleet 18 points and 2 threes. Wagner 38PRA and Magic ML. Bulls and Pacers are not great at defense. Magic are better without Banchero. Wagner should takeover against Clippers. No Norman Powell for Clips, so I expect their bench to suffer. Watch Nic Batum go off now…

Giannis as my draftkings star of the night over 30 points -185 for 1 unit.

Charleston -10.5/Columbia -425 parlay risking 1 unit to win 1.35 units. LIU and Citadel suck at basketball. Favorites should roll in these spots.

November 18th Locks (Parlays Really)

Jon Jones is beast. Hornets beat the Bucks. Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers are rolling. Giants sat Daniel Jones. Panthers have a higher winning percentage in November than the Chiefs, who they play next. CMC is back, but 49ers lost to Seahawks on late Geno scramble. Derrick Henry fumbled for the first time in over 500 touches and Ravens barely lose to Steelers. Justin Tucker also missed two field goals.

Heat/Pacers Parlay risking 1.75 units to win 4.18 units.

Jared McCain over 28.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists parlayed with Ivey over 25 PRA and Cade Cunningham over 34.5 PRA. Bulls defense is bad. 76ers have been bad, but Jared McCain has been good. He looks comfy in the NBA only 10 games in. the 76ers and Raptors are bad, hoping they stay bad tonight.

Michigan -17, North Texas over 58.5 points, George Washington under 82.5 and NJIT +13 first half for 2.5 units to win 7.86 units. NJIT have been playing first halves well. Hoping they make it ugly against GW. North Texas are not as bad as the line suggest, but Mcneese can score so staying with the points. Miami of Ohio do not have the depth to compete with Michigan.

Nick Suzuki to score +360 for 2.5 units. Oilers allow goals – they score them too, but I like the Canadiens to score on some power plays and Suzuki will capitalize.

Hooker over 4.5 tackles/assists and Dowdle to score and Cowboys to score 13 risking 0.25 units to win 1.62 units.

Brandon Miller will be better than Anthony Edwards

I realize saying Brandon Miller will be better than Anthony Edwards is a hot take since Ant just dominated the defending champs, but B Miller is nice. Brandon Miller plays for the Hornets, who sucked because of injuries yet again. These injuries gave him a chance to be the focal piece of the offense at times. Brandon Miller shot better than Ant did his rookie year (numbers above), and he has a higher shooting ceiling (form and height).

My Hornets could keep sucking forever, but if LaMelo can ever be healthy and they can ever find a 5 that can play defense. They have something with Brandon Miller. Miller doesn’t have the “pop” athleticism that Ant has, but he does have the ability to hang in the air like Ant. I mean look at this dunk.

The Hornets rarely hit on lottery picks. Hell I wanted them to draft Scoot – maybe it’s just cause of the Miller-Alabama gun stuff – but boy was I wrong. Miller can play. I doubt the Hornets will hit on this year’s 6th pick. I think they should go with Salaun (6 foot 9 hardworking frenchmen), Topic (Tall guard if LaMelo doesn’t pan out), or Cody Williams (nba starter at least). If the Hornets can hit on this pick this year, they are actually setting up nicely. Davis Bertans, who won’t be resigned, is the second biggest cap hit right now after LaMelo. The Batum signing was terrbile. The Rozier/Hayward signings were not viewed as bad, but they kinda were. Rozier and Hayward got paid about 50 million a year combined on the Hornets and didn’t ever make the playoffs. Rozier and Hayward complained and said snide things about how shitty they Hornets culture was after they left – yeah yall were brought to make it better as veterans.

Brandon Miller may never be great because of the team that drafted him, but I think he can be a top 10 nba player and in MVP conversations on the Hornets. If that happens, Hornets fans (me) would love him forever.

Wild Jags Story

The Jaguars hired a sex offender. Found out. Fired him. He would remote into the Jumbotron out of spite? He did it enough that the FBI tracked it and he had more sex offender stuff at his house. Maybe not as crazy as the Baltimore Bridge collapse or P Diddy and Cuban Gooding Jr being sex offenders but the World keeps on spinning.

In other news I’ve been scorched Earth hot gambling. Tickets below.

MARCH. IS. HERE. BEST TIME OF YEAR AHHHHHHHHHH

70-62-2 on NCAAB in 2018/19 up 8.95 units

46-38-1 last season 19/20 up 13.96 units

15-11-2 20/21 up 8.91 units

1-7 this season down 7.48 units

Scottie Scheffler winning the Players back 2 back washed away a lot of college basketball sins. An Auburn over didn’t hit, even though they scored 86 (South Carolina had 55). UNC let up 35 to Pittsburgh in 1H, but Pittsburgh couldn’t break 67 points. I ain’t worried about losing some close ones. A lot of basketball left. Congrats to all the conference winners – especially NC State and Duquesne for winning their conferences for the first time in a long time (’87 and 77′). Sadly those two teams beat my teams. VCU made the NIT. UNC got a 1 seed. Last year VCU made the tourney and UNC didn’t – be cool if they could both make it. Real Cool.

Kentucky -13.5 for 4 units. Using my DK 64% boost here. Hit this one when it opened, and the line hasn’t moved. Oakland allows a high percentage of shots in transition (5th most out of any team in tournament). That scares me against Kentucky’s guards. Over/under is 163 – There will be points in this game and Kentucky will get too many easy ones. Kentucky has almost become a lovable loser in this tournament – They have a chance to go on a run this year.

NC State +5.5/Creighton -13.5/BYU Duquesne over 140.5 Risking 1 unit to win 3.9 units. I watched NC State beat UVA and UNC in person. Burns and Burns are problems. OConnel can shoot. Texas Tech allows 60% of opponents shots at the rim. That’s a lot (6th worst our of tourney teams). The human escalade is gonna get his..

Creighton beat UConn by 19. Once I saw that happen – I was betting their line in NCAA tournament until they lose. They can outshoot anyone

Duquesne have been scoring since they beat VCU in Richmond – Honestly he milked the injury a bit. Just almost lost a tooth. Happens to children all the time. Dae Dae is a problem for the Dukes. BYU have a smooth offense, but I do not think their defense is crazy good. BYU are actually one of the few teams that the tournament seeded correctly. BYU love getting out in transition.

South Carolina/Creighton/Auburn -12.5 risking 1 unit to win 2.89 units. Jay Bilas said Oregon would win, so going with the Cocks. Creighton ain’t losing to Akron – RIGHT? Yale are not great at offense or defense. They just beat Brown by 1 to make the tournament on an unathletic looking last second shot. The opposite of Kyrie’s game winning shot against the Nuggets.

Creighton +2500 for 1 unit. Dook +2500 for 1 unit. North Carolina +1200 for 1 unit. Auburn +1400 for 1 unit. Picking a team from each Region and letting it ride.

Also placed some more golf bets – Wyndham Clark top 10 all 4 Majors on DK +8000 for 1 unit. Lowry top 10 all 4 +8000 for 1 unit. Scheffler top 4 all 4 +650 for 1 unit.

Maverick McNealy top 10 Valspar Championship +650. Brian Harman in my One and Done.

Some NBA Bets for tonight if you are a degenerate and can’t wait for NCAAT like me.

Kyrie Irving 4.5 assists/Kyrie 3 3s made/Mavs over 114.5 tonight against the Spurs. Riskin 1 unit to win 1.89 units. Doncic is Prolly playing, but I like Kyrie to get a little more usage with Luka’s hamstring issue. Kyrie seems to be locking in. He has played in 18 games straight for the first time since 2016 I think it was. Spurs defense will be great one day with Wemby, but that day is not this season.

Jordan Poole first 3 +390. Bet & Get on DK for 0.5 units. No Jones for the Wizards. Was going to go with Kispert or Poole, but Poole’s odds are better. Dk has nuked their odds on this promo, but I hit on Kyrie with Luka out, Kuzma with Jones out, and D Mitchell with Strus out.

61-53-2 on NBA in 2017/18 up 9.28 units

30-28-2 on NBA in 2018/19 up 4.16 units 

7-7-1 on NBA in 2019/20 down 3.91 units

2-1 on NBA in 21/22 up 8.67 units

No Plays in 22/23

3-4 on NBA this year up 2.08 units.

March Madness is here

70-62-2 on NCAAB in 2018/19 up 8.95 units

46-38-1 last season 19/20 up 13.96 units

15-11-2 20/21 up 8.91 units

0-0 this season

BYU ML/1H ML and over 142 against UCF today for 1 unit at +152. Using draftkings SGP insurance boost.

Just gotta get a little action in before my VCU Rams play at 2.

St Mary’s looked good against Gonzaga to win the WCC last night. Zags just don’t have the offensive fire power this year. Scoring is important in basketball.

UNC gonna beat dook 3 times to win the ACC Tourney Title? Idk but stay tuned!

Posting all my records here. Yeah I could be better on soccer betting so what?!? My buddy Hunter recently got into soccer gambling. He just bets Man City and Bayern Munich and he does better than me. Sometimes you gotta keep it simple in this world of sports gambling. MLB Playoffs, NBA Season, NHL Season, CSGO Major (First one since before COVID), Tennis, Soccer, and UFC are all going down this weekend. Should be fun…

Hornets ML -130 for 10 units. LaMelo is a stud. Hayward is a professional. Washington/Bridges are fun. Plumlee sucks. All in all I am happy with where my Hornets are going. Cavs are mids. Hornets are going to be good this year if they stay healthy. Gotta take advantage of these early season lines…

Utah Jazz -6 at -110 for 3 units. Jazz will blow the Kings out. If they don’t, will adjust my view of the Kings. I think the Jazz will be a great regular season team again this year. They covered like 19 some odd games in a row last year. They are 1-0 ATS so far..

Utah Jazz 1Q at -165 for 3 units.

Tottenham +0.5 at -155 for 6 units. West Ham looked good with their backups midweek, Tottenham did not. Makes these odds better for us. Son or Kane can always go off. I do not think West Ham are as good as their record says they are. The best team they have beat this league season in Leicester. I like Tottenham to hold serve.

Everton at -150 for 1 unit.

Dortmund -210 for 2 units.

Bayern win and over 3.5 at -200 for 2 units.

Sassuolo at -190 for 2 units.

Sevilla at -220 for 1 unit. Not writing about soccer because need to post for NBA start times. Good luck this weekend. Let’s get hot and make some money.

Lonnie Walker IV is a Real One For This

The real truth as to why i started doing this early 5th grade, it was a cloaking device for me. During the summer of my 5th grade year I was around more family. Some that names will be left alone I was around more. I was sexually harassed, raped, abused, I even got accustomed to it because being at that age you don’t know what is what. I was a gullible curious kid that didn’t know what the real world was. I had a mindset that my hair was something that I can control. My hair was what I can make and create and be mine. And it gave my confidence. As of recently I wasn’t at my best. Previous History popping up in my head and it sucked mentally “demons”….. because of this virus, I began to truly look at myself in the mirror and see who I truly was even behind closed doors. Long story short I have found peace and internal happiness through this journey god willingly. I forgave everyone even the people that don’t deserve it why? Because it’s dead weight. Time doesn’t wait on anyone so why should I waste my time on it ? Me cutting my hair was more than a cut. My hair was a mask of me hiding the insecurity’s that I felt the world wasn’t ready for. But now better then ever. Out with old. In with the new. I have shed my skin mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Life will always be hard. Gotta play with the cards your dealt with and try and make a winning hand. And if you lose. It’s never a lost. It’s a lesson 🙏🏾. I’m gonna be off this for awhile still growing through this. Just know I love each and everyone one of y’all. Peace love and happiness 💕🙏🏾

CS:GO DreamHack – Natus Vincere vs FaZe Prediction

3-2 on eSports in 2019 up 3.53 units

14-7 in 2020 up 11.30 units

Natus Vincere at -175 for 8 units. It’s simple, one team has s1mple. Nah but really, Navi beat FaZe 2-1 and that was with them picking Vertigo for the showcase. Vertigo won’t be played today. This is the lower bracket final, I feel confident in the number 1 team making the real final. FaZe had a weird win against NIP that was the least competitive 2-1 I have seen in a while. FaZe got dominated on one map and dominated the other. That inconsistency does not bode well for them. Overpass and Dust2 should be auto wins for Navi. Electronic and s1mple are playing at a level that few are. I envision some Perfecto clutches in this one. Niko is obviously filthy at CS, but I don’t think even he can carry FaZe to a win today against a motivated Natus Vincere team.
