-5 is not -4 or less. Well, in math it is, but not the way you meant it.

It isn't tricky, it is trying to claim a win that wasn't.

I don't need this winner to have a winning season at NBA.
I'll still have many more winners than losers when all is said and done.
Hopefully someone cashed on this info.
0-0.

Easy to pick winners with "monopoly" money. If sw is implemented in NJ maybe you can fly out there and make your first "real" sports wager in 2014.
Ok I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you bet on the super bowl.

Never tried much handicapping the NBA.
Maybe some one can "steer me right"?
Point spread just seems so tough on most NBA games.
We're talking 5points for the point spread, for games that total 200pts.
In football you get the same 5pts, for games that total 50pts.

Five points is less than a single touchdown.

So i ESSENTIALLY gave out a winner, or at the very worst, gave out information that may have pointed you to a winner or at very least, prevented you from betting on a loser and this is the treatment i get?
If Michael Jordan wanted to come to your house to teach you how to shoot hoops in your driveway, would you tell him that you doubt he's ever really played basketball before? Cmon now.

I would lap up every little increment of knowledge he would share with me what does that have to do with you? Your the one who kept on posting that basketball was fixed and the games are predetermined.
Why don't you go as far back as you want with your magic keyboard and see if I criticized any other individual for their picks.
Last year I FINISHED 32nd out f more than 348,000 entrants in Yahoo NBA basketball picks. You know what that got me??? SQUADOOSH. I never even mentioned it before here because it has no lines to use, just pick the winning team. You can sign up and we can go head on I'll do a screenshot of where I stand now. Once again especially since you are really wagering on these NBA games $50 from the loser donated to the PDJF. Every time a fun wager for a great cause is mentioned you run around like a headless chicken. Surely a man with the basketball expertise you "brag" about here wouldn't BE AFRAID of stomping on a "dummy" like me.
Balls in your court but my hunch is that a traveling "violation" on you has already been called.

Clippers are a mess right now, their last 2 losses were ugly visually. They're back home and will probably win tonight, but 11.5 seems like a lot of points for them right now. Det sneakily has won their last 2 games, maybe the Pistons can keep it close?
