I've learned a bunch from the strategy/life posts on 2+2 over the years and want to involve others in my own poker-relat

pretty good line, but you can get a slightly better one if you bet on a peer to peer exchange

my sports betting days are numbered. Only reason I flicked it in is to incinerate some total rewards credits.


Surely you deserve a $25 freeroll for participating, don't you, mark? Only stipulation is that action needs to be Spurs-Knicks related—just lemme know your preferred bet and if you win I'll ship over the moniez. I don't see any NBA boosts in my account at the moment (it's generally been a 25% boost up to $25), but if that changes I'll let you know.

I'll take Brunson to win Finals MVP. Thanks!


I did a deep dive into Weezer a couple of years ago and was a little disappointed to realize their first album is far and away their best (at least, imo). 4 songs on the iPod, the most obvious 3 from their first album and then the slightly later Island in the Sun. I dunno, they have the occasional semi-listenable stuff later, but nothing compared to that first album. Not sure if it was just a 1994 time-of-life thing for me or what.

weezer is one of those bands which has aged better than most which i listened to at that age, but has definitely still aged


i think Shine Again and Troublemaker (2 songs by Weezer) are vintage

It will be tough for Wemby and the Spurs to comeback and win it all... I still think they have this, but I am on the other hand happy that I hedged my Championship bet as the opinions of the Zach Lowe's of the world predicting that the Knicks would overcome SA might be on to something...

Yeah, agreed. To me it's a win win, I'm happy for either team. I mostly hope it's a good series that goes 6 or 7 games

you really gotta stop betting places like dk unless you're going to bet in the few spots where they are weak

wemby's line was 26.5 and brunson's was 25.5

so fair line on each probably about -122 and -133, which should payout to +218 when parlayed, without even using a "boost"

dk literally makes about 40% profit margin on parlays, never bet them there

i know you're just doing it for fun with small wagers, i just ****ing hate that evil predatory company and hate seeing people throw away their money to them

this is the thing with probabilities, while spurs were the favorites, they were never more than like 62% to win the game nor the series, it's really no different from this


and we've all seen this enough where nobody is ever shocked with JT wins the hand, it's not the hand we'd prefer to be holding when the chips go in

it's not really a hot take to think that a team projected to win nearly 40% of the time will actually win it


by rickroll

Totally agree! And which is why I snap-hedged when I saw the Knicks line (for the series) before game 1.

lol sports betting confirmed. I'm glad I went through the experience of flicking in lots of bets this year, but am very much looking forward to it being over (tee minus one week? two? We'll see how long this series goes)

Yeah, amazing series! I don't see the Spurs losing the next game ; then again, I didn't see them dropping the previous one, nor the 2 before that, so... 😊


I'm in a New York state of mind!

Whatta series! Really wanted one more game, but it was supremely entertaining nevertheless. I can't get over how good this guy is

Kudos to you, mark, on a solid Brunsonbet. I have moniez for you! PM me your Venmo or maybe I can transfer to you via Draftkings?


Totally up to you, but if you want you can just hang on to it and you owe me a dinner next time I'm in New Orleans. You decide.
