Shocking to see me back as I retired from gambling & watching the league when my favorite player sat out last season (Lauren Jackson although my other favorite is EDD who I have been high before people knew who she was!). I had planned on coming back this season but once she was out again, I decided to stay away. However I had an itch so I have been keeping up with it in the background. I can't promise I will stick out the rest of the season but I do believe in my mantra, money is money so...

fuckin unreal of a night, thanks for posting. i was on Tulsa HUGE tonight in every which way and still bitter that I pushed my 2nd half moneyline bet being up 11 with :45 seconds left and the ball.

What an awful 3rd quarter for Phoenix, 6 points???

Great night

Random thoughts...

Sparks are a complete mess right now with the new coach
EDD is unbelievable, hope they get into the playoffs and she gets better
Love Sims and Diggins for Tulsa, they are exciting to watch even though they don't like playing defense
Unders 4-1 tonight
Dream have been killed by their schedule after the ASG, no favors there
Minnesota will give Phoenix fits with their defense and depth

Felt like old times last night as from a confidence standpoint it was nice to step right back in as if I had never stopped. I apologize for the NY play, very shocked at their performance as Bill has always been a strong 2nd H play if his team shit the bed in the 1st H which is what a lot of what that play was based on. I'd make it again if the situation was there.

Shocked at the 3rd Q from the Mercury as I don't know what happened there. I find it hard to believe the Dream played that solid of defense so it must of somehow turned into brick city which is what we got with the Lynx in the 4th Q. They were on pace to get near or over 40.5 for the 2nd H & all of a sudden they nor the Fever could make a basket. I expected that from Indiana but not the Lynx. I watched that entire game & lost count of how many layups & point blank shots the Lynx missed especially in the 2nd H.

Thanks brokers, I always appreciate the faith you have in me!

The Sparks are a disappointing franchise nowadays as with the talent they have had, they should have won more titles recently. I gave them mulligans when CP was hurt but when she was healthy, they failed to get the job done. At one point they had too much talent for their own good as a lot of strong scorers but not enough balls or minutes. In a lot of ways they are looking to be dealing with that exact problem again. If they make the playoffs, they are definitely a 1st round exit waiting to happen.

If I can find some futures on Chicago, I will go in on them as I know she is good enough to take them to a title. She is a lot of the reason I decided to come back as she has always been the 2nd coming of Lauren Jackson to me. No one is stopping her but herself whether it be from an off shooting night or her health.

Haha Tulsa has never been known for defense & shocking (no pun intended) to a degree it has not at least somewhat improved with such strong defenders as Diggins & Sims. If they can learn to play good enough defense, they have the horses to eventually make a title run. Hard to stop a team with 2 legit players who could go off for 30+ a night. Not sure as to why Riquana Williams does not play much (assuming injury plagued season or something) as she is another who legit can drop in those kind of numbers as she has some definite game. I'd love to see a 3 prong attack with them & see how far they can go.

The Dream sure got no love from the schedule makers that is for sure. I wonder who they pissed off for this kind of murderous stretch that could end up screwing them big time come playoff seeding if they even make it.

If I had to choose, I'd take the Mercury as I believe they are the best team in the league & the only team I can see with a strong chance to beat them if healthy is the Sky as I believe that much in what EDD can do.

I assume you mean the Liberty vs the Sun. I am hoping for a soft line there on NY. A definite play for me is the 1st Q as I think they come out pissed.

yes, i meant the sun. unders keep coming in, another 2-0 for me tonight.

also had one of the worst beats in the wnba for a while, chicago +8.5 and chicago +3.5 second half. they were up 1 with 1:30 left and outscored 11-0 to end the game which included a bad clear path call and then foul while inbounding the ball. just get me seattle in the late game and have a huge night.

A friend of mine called me cursing up a storm about that Sky game as he was heavy on the Sky. I caught bits & pieces of the game but missed the ending & wondering how they ended up not covering considering what little time was left.

I am fuming now as although I do not have a wager on the full game, I have Atlanta in the Streak For The Cash contest on ESPN as I am sitting at a W11 heading into it. Not looking good...

The Dream got to 38 with 3:07 left in the 4th Q & managed to not score another point in what should have been an easy 2nd H winner. Anyhow....

Atlanta o42 2nd H

tough loss to swallow with 3 minutes left in the game. unfortunately i hit the 2nd half under so couldn't tail on that one. I did just place a huge bet on tulsa under 165 tomorrow night.

best of luck tomorrow, if ogwumike is out tomorrow, i'll be hammering the liberty even more so already

Yeah those losses annoy me but shit happens so nothing I can do. I am not sure I can touch an under with Tulsa as that team takes the El Matador defense to a whole new level. I am waiting for the 1st Q lines to come out as I am all over the Liberty. Best of luck to you as well.
