I guess I'm failing to communicate it...but I'm not talking about basketball when I'm saying this stuff. I'll concede all the basketball knowledge, I don't care. "Value", the way that I'm using it here, is actually way more objective than your "well, they have the best starting five in the West" bec...

Dukes ad Oakland winning was +350 and +700, respectively. Remove the 16's because they really don't win. And bam...you're most of the way there. And then if you're someone like you that can apply advanced knowledge of the sport...maybe you skip an underdog or beef up another, and you stretch your va...

Meanwhile, I wanna know how the f you came up with that 34-2 run, @mikey. That’s otherworldly. After yesterday, I feel like a basketball dumbass. Honestly, it was a combination of reading two quick things about fast teams vs slow teams. Legit top 10 off/def teams that can win versus high seeds that...

That's a good question...what is value? There's nothing better than a winning bet, we all know that. What I've come to realize (vs younger me) is that no matter what you do - whether its an analytical approach, whether you're the best at diagnosing the game you're betting, whatever it is...you're go...

I'm actually saying that back to you. You're a computer programmer, you must have some sort of math/logic back there somewhere. This bet is bad value. You're being played.

It may win. I'm not saying that. I'm saying betting like this is fundamentally flawed.

What a big fat cover by those Long Beach goons.

9 for 9 on bets so far in march madness. Including 3 for 3 on a 12 leg parlay...$10 pays a million.

If this team was a dream team and was all alone, head and shoulders above the West...then, sure, that's fine...they're one of three teams, they're one home loss from being in big trouble in a series...he's parlaying 12 wins in a span of 12 to 21 games and only getting 3:2.

The current #2 team in the West, and they have to win three playoff series...even in the circus clown league where there's only a handful of competitive teams, that's just bad value.

It's not just a player leaving - in this case it was a big player - but it's what your bosses see around you. I'm not going to excuse a two week AWOL or anything, but look at Crosby and Letang...two guys that are really working this year. Imagine you're doing everything you can to get a project back...
