It's called regular season NBA little buddy. It's why it's an unwatchable pile of #### sport. Now that you can't seem to make me any money at it, I hate it even more.

I went from +$1800 to +$300 in three days. I can blame most of the losses on those two 1 point bad beats.

But this has been a terrible run. I'm down no actual money but I can't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed.

 
that is the one that makes you feel old throughout all of our #### atmosphere from your head to your feet. or your shins. when my dad was a kid he accidentally poured hot oil on his shin in 1934. it made him tough but no matter yo he did it with women from multiple other countries. just saying but dude ok you probably have insurance. dude nerve damage. same thing it just takes time

I'm slightly concerned that my blockchain wallet transaction history is completely wrong.  There are several 30-40k btc transactions in my history that are the correct day but the transaction amounts are WAY off.  I'd love to be throwing around 30-40k btc transactions but it's not happening.  :unsure:

Hmmm.  I did notice that it looks like my historical prices fluctuate based on latest pricing but not by that big of a factor 

Anyway as long as uncle Sam isn't auditing my Bitcoin transaction I guess I don't care as long as my money ends up in the books and then back in my account

yeah it took about a yr last time and I was back to 90% or so right before disney.  I dont remember it this bad for this loing though.  On the way up to 90% I could at least walk and do stuff which I cant do now

Has this affected your free throw %?

Lakers (15-27) play Spurs (30-8) and Pistons (18-22) play Warriors (33-6).  I bet you can never guess what they will be.

I'm much more nuanced than that. If you want to have a cap off, I will take you down ANY day of the week.

Seriously, I don't know who you think you are running your mouth in here. What have you ever won?

Would have played this winter before the set back, but I missed last year entirely. I was excited as it was a big time goal of mine to be able to try and play.

Probably no body slamming guys fighting for rebounds though.  Man I miss it

CAPOFF!!!!!  (to be honest Em, I'm guessing you wouldn't have taken him down on a few days of this week. Just sayin)

Also I miss drinking :(

Have you had any operations? My L5 was herniated 10 years ago and I had it trimmed up. Had 2 occasions since that lasted about 2 weeks with major sciatica, but other than that it's been great.

To hell with the fusion stuff. When I had mine done it was still old fashion go in and slice it off. I've heard decent stuff about the new laser procedures though. 

 
Mayweather talked to literally every person at ESPN this week, resulting in nobody asking him about how he hates women or the (pretty good!) fight card he's supposed to be promoting this weekend in NYC.* It resulted in a gem of an interview with someone in the Mothership's gambling arm, ESPN Chalk, where this question was asked and, uhhh, answered:

Have you ever had your limits cut at a sportsbook?

Sometimes. Twice this year I got there a little late to put the bet in and they said it was too late to put the bet in. I said, 'Yo, the game didn't start yet.' But I was glad because those bets I probably would've lost $100K.

lol.  I have a successful and promising career that allowed me to buy my first home at the age of 23 in an expensive area of the country.  That's a nice win in my book. 

Aside from that, I spent a #### load of time helping @swirvenirvin grade his props this year and build some tools to make his capping easier.  I have a limited amount of time in the day, but I am damn happy with the ROI he has provided me over the past few years.  All I care about is my accounts grow.

I've spent the last three years playing, tracking, and refining a CBB model.  It's a tremendous amount of work - capping every side and total, capturing lines, CLV, 1H, 2H, game.  Everything.  I'm smart enough to know I'm not going to be successful punching in plays from a parking lot. 

Cavaliers (28-10) play the Kings (16-22) tomorrow.  You should be able to get a nice line on those Cavs Q1.

My wife just had L4/L5 fusion in September. She put it off for 3 years but now that it is done she is so much happier. Should have done it sooner but our 1st grandbaby had just been born and she wasn't giving up baby carrying time despite the pain!

Ok Men - so here is the trip/prop report from Vegas.  Sorry it took me so long to find the time but redeye/work happens.

The Westgate is the freaking bees knees.  It was every bit as impressive a sports book as advertised.  I could very easily see myself staying there next time I go.  Even if you choose not to stay it's on the monorail so it's easy to get in and out of.  Wednesday afternoon (for Thur night) and sat afternoon (for Sunday and Monday night) they make a prop card.  All .10 lines, all 1K limits.  Thing of beauty.  All together they had 13 player props listed and had a mix of comps/yards/rec/TD's.  They offered mostly "stars" no totals on the Steelers 3'd string TE.    Very impressive but if your are in town and the two games offered stink for props it could be a headache.   Lines were fairly soft IMHO.  I caught Flacco O 257 and Eli U 266 and both were 10+ yards off and multiple cents higher by game time.

"William Hill" sportsbooks cover mostly low end  casinos around town.  4 queens, the D, Binions downtown on the strip you are looking at the Casino Royal.   Frankly I can't even believe this place is still standing.  Aptly described as a glorified keno desk.  Like the west gate (and others) they had a robust Sunday/Monday night card.   What made this place stand out was 2 things.  1) they will book $50,000 so long as you register for a player card (my guess is that would only last a few plays).  Even still they will book $1K without one.  2) they had a "full" card for Sunday afternoon.  Def wasn't a robust card all yardage props for major QB and RB,14 in total.  It should be noted that the lines were a little better than I would have thought.  I sent them to Swirv and he agreed but we did manage to pick out a nice Andy Luck over that cashed (by 4 yards, but a winner is a winner).  The Sunday night card was more like the Westgate and others maybe with a little more depth as they had reception lines on Witten.  I'm never ever staying here and I wouldn't make it a point to stay next door either but if I'm in town on a Sunday I'll stop by this or one of the other locations for sure.

Ceasers told me to F off.  No player props outside of the super bowl.

both the Palms and the Station casino families were Sunday/Monday only.  The Station book manager kept trying to point me towards the adjusted lines sheet as his "props".  When I asked specificly about players he said they would have a few but they don't get posted until 2.5 hours before kickoff.  Of all the properties that I asked around about player props this was the only place where I got the feeling they didn't want me around nor did they care for the line of questioning.  Most other places were very candid and open.

the "m life" or MGM properties had a nice prop card for Sunday night before I left.  Maybe even a little better than Westgate/Hill in fact because it was less yards and more Comps/Receptions. Swirv saw the card here and there were a few leans but Dak under comps came in big for me.  $1000 limits, no questions asked.  Lines were .15 and they had some lines shaded so it seemed like they were on top of things.

Hope this helps.   Not sure if anyone has questions.  

I'm radioactive at my poker room right now.... all the books/agents know who I am and won't give me any real action anymore.  I've had the talk with my wife that I may start to fly out next year if I can't find local action.
