Help A Noob With His Picks

[702-Squee]

I'm new here and only 15 so my mind is not as trained as yours are.
What do you guys think? Cleveland needs this win so they don't tie with the lakers. I was thinking it would be perfect but the last time they met up, the spurs were missing Ginobli and Duncan. Just trying to get some expert advice here@).

Here's what I am thinking

Cleveland -6?
Denver -7
LA Lakers -?

Possible over on denver?

I am thinking you are way too young to ruin your life gambling, wait 10 years then do it.

Gambling doesn't ruin lives. Irresponsible betting does.

Oh and It's now Lakers -17 that's a lot.... They may just be looking for an easy win and not cover.

hey. Id make a small play on CLE and DEN... but i wouldnt give 17 points to the clippers when the lakers havent really been turning it on till the last six minutes of a game lately.

imo, the best play on the board is the hornets -3... you MAY be able to find it at -2.5, if not maybe later in the day..

good luck whatever you decide to play, let us know how it goes

Where in the world are you allowed to gamble at age 15?

Well as with all experiences with gambling, there will be winning streaks and there will be losing streaks. Most of the time though, people chase their losses during losing streaks and dig themselves a bigger hole and can never recover from. If I was your age I'd be playing videogames with friends, movies, girls or something like that. Let me tell you, I was up BIG one time in my life and now my losses are 5 times the size of my "BIG" bankroll I once had. If I could redo everything I would never start gambling.

Great/smart players like gynecologist in this forum are up 63 units ($100 per unit - up $6,300) through FOUR years. So on average roughly 1,575$ per year. Now, as a gambler 1,575$ per year is NOTHING considering the amount of time you'll be spending researching your picks, glued to the TV and ripping your hair out...most likely all of your waking hours when you're not working. That is a lot of wasted time.

I understand what can happen if your not careful. Also, I am never and will never bet large amounts. My bday is the 8th and I want extra cash, it's the only reason why I am doing this. I want to save up for a nice guitar. I will only bet $5. Especially without a job I would never risk my extra money.

Some kids are doing drugs and wasting their money on a life of highs and ultimate lows. Or even gambling with sex (like ray suggested), getting girls pregnant and throwing away their lives. I don't think a short term gamble can hurt me too much if anything at all.

 

[raylewis]

holy crap you actually make sense, sorry i'll back off, bol to you.

Welcome to TheRX 702 & Best Of Luck With Your Plays!

Well best of luck on that.

I would suggest following these user's picks because they have been pretty consistent with the right ones:

bitb (he has inside sources from Vegas)
jbragg10 (Awesome record)
Chugg (A very good 2nd half capper)

Others that are pretty good include CarolinaKid and Duke04.

 

[702-Squee]

Yeah I cant believe bragg hit 5 teams
Thanks and BOL to you guys too

 

[TopPicks]

I would reccomend following none of those cappers and do it on your own. Go with your gut. You may as well flip a coin cause in the end you'll either go broke or waste a hell of a lot of time doing this. The cappers you list to follow surprise me. How in the world do you recommend Chugg to this kid? What has he done? The best advice I heard was to not get started. You will end up regretting this later in life if it continues to escalate, and its not hard for that to happen. Gambling is a waste of time. Take your money and save it, then invest it or do something positive with it. Trying to get free money seldom works out.

 

[shockker21]

yeah... invest it... cause that's not a gamble at all... at least with this kid.. you can make the decision to lose your money and not let an overpaid crooked ceo make the decision.
