And still the G-League squad is going to crush the truly embarrassing roster that OKC is rolling out.
No idea why Casey decided to play the main guys like 5 minutes each... Makes no sense. If you're gonna beat a team automatically, you might as well destroy them and let Cade pad his stats instead of nuke them

Remember when Hinkie was fired and driven out of the league for less?

Props to Turbo_Zone for the sig.

Re: Friday 4/1 Game Thread
Lots of hugs at the end of the Mavs Wizards game. There also looked like there was some amiable banter between KP and his former teammates when he shooting at the line earlier. If there were locker room issues with him in Dallas they sure did a good job of hiding it in this game

Sorry to sound like an old man
I agree. I've been into sports betting since it was grimy and a cold mans game. I don't like them hooking the teeny boppers into it.
Im surprised suicides and stuff arent up with how easy you can gamble now on your phone. I used to have to drive all the way downtown to lose my paycheck at the Casino's. Now you can lose a ton in a second on the comfort of your own couch.
I used to be addicted to playing poker until i realized my wins were not making up for all my losses at all.
Yeah, poker's at least a pure game of skill where if you put in the work and have discipline/bankroll management, you will win (just try to avoid collusion and the bots if you play online, lol). It generally weeds out those that don't have that in them fairly quickly. Sports betting, especially these days, is a much tougher business to win at. But it's a slow ween and everybody thinks they have an edge (about 2% do).

Re: Friday 4/1 Game Thread
Thousands of people are **** over because of this. Why not just give Cade the day off instead of playing him for a few minutes? **** ridiculous. I guess Casey takes April fools day seriously.

I've made $350 profit this month on yahoo daily fantasy. Most months I break even or just win a small amount. So far so good, but maybe that'll change for the worse. we'll see

Re: Friday 4/1 Game Thread
The Wizards and Knicks are two of the three teams who have swept the Mavs, an easy remaining schedule isn't necessarily a good thing for us

Sports betting is entirely a sucker's game.
1. Lines are highly efficient for all major sports leagues: EPL, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, Major College sports. Every line contains the bets of tens of thousands of bettors. Their bets signify the knowledge they bring to the table. When you bet, you're saying tens of thousands of people have mispriced the line but you know the real value. Does that seem likely to you? Of course not.
2. Accordingly you will lose money if you bet with any regularity on these sports.
3. The only way to make money with any consistency is to have the patience to only bet on maybe 1 NBA game out of 50, were the line has some substantial error.
4. Online gambling sportsbooks are designed to make #3 impossible to achieve for most bettors.
5. The spread of smartphone gambling has increased percentage of sports bettors, and percentage of sports bettors that are problem gamblers.
As you said only a small minority, and I think it is a lot smaller than 2%, can beat the odds at a high enough rate to draw a profit.
And the people who are in that small minority have advanced analytical skills. If you have those skills you could make a lot more money investing in the stock market. The wind is at your back with the market not against you in as in sports.

Re: Friday 4/1 Game Thread
Is Minnesota the greatest 3 point shooting team? Austin Rivers with 2 wide open 3’s and can’t make them.
