Game 5 2nd half
Game 5 2nd half
May seem like I'm chasing a bit, but I liked the Bullets team total over 106 this morning before the line got away and it closed 107. Seemed like the trend in this series was higher scoring 1st halves so that's why I settled on a small play on the 1st half over, but now the 2nd half is basically giving me the opening line of the full game total, so I'll bite. If you look back on this series, the team trailing at the half generally has a better offensive performance in the 2nd half. They may not come back to win this game (although I wouldn't be surprised), but I'd expect to see some more aggressiveness out of guys like Wall and Beal in the second half.

Should have seen this coming. Washington's bench is putrid. Relying on them to put up points in the fourth quarter of a blowout is a death sentence. Sorry for the bad pick.
CLE wins at least one of 1st 2 games

I have also laid the ML on CLE to win 4.5x
I am certain they go back to Cleveland either up 2-0 or tied 1-1, so if they don't win game 1, I will be doubling up on the CLE ML for game 2.

NOTE: I actually put the ML in a couple of 2-teamers with heavy soccer favorites (Real Madrid & Monaco today) today reduce the juice some, so that I could lay closer to even money rather than -180 or -200. Up to you how you play it, but Cleveland isn't going home down 2-0. If that happens, then we will be all over the discounted Series price.

HORRIBLE! :facepalm:
Of course there are some plays I haven't posted (I know my record with in-running wagering isn't that bad, but they are hard to post), but overall this paints a pretty dim picture of my postseason wagering so far. Live betting and those two series wagers (thanks Houston and LA) have especially killed me. I still hope I can buckle down and get back to even before the Finals are up. I do have a couple of open future bets on GS to win the title (also not posted here), so that could help. If last night is any indication, I'm on the right track.

This play is inspire by my buddy Burnside, a trend he pointed out, and a bit of my own research. Pre-game the 3rd qtr total was 54.5, now it opens up at 53.5 and is getting bet up as I type this. Best I can get is 54.5, but I think this sails over that...
