Bob's Fades (a psychological evaluation) - Saturday Action

Okay, I cap the games, I think I know what I'm doing. But in this particular sport, it seems to ALWAYS go the other way, especially the last couple of seasons. Okay, sure, I've had a few this evening, but if I pick the way I think it should go, then go the opposite, it will hit.

Here is how I have capped Saturday's action based on early lines:

3* Orlando -2
3* Phoenix -1.5
5* Milwaukee -1
2* Lakers/OKC OVER 194

So, I will be laying money on the OPPOSITE of those plays, booking my own action so to speak. Of course, the psychological factor says that I know that I am going to play the opposite of those games, so that could contribute to the way I capped them. AHA... that's where the alcohol comes into play my friends. It dulls the id and the ego and let's me use reverse psychology upon myself without repercussion.

Finally, so as not to tempt the fates or jinx this in any way, I will NOT post my actual plays; however they can be gleaned based on me fading myself of the plays posted above.

Good luck!!


(note that I am 0-2 in NBA action since my return to Cappersmall, much worse with the books).

Of course, this is just an experiment, so please don't take me too seriously. Besides, I've polished off half a liter of Jamaican rum and a few glasses of sangria. Hope you enjoy my descent into the madness

GL Bob

I know your feeling - at one time I was something like 4-12 in the nba- then went on a 21-9 run, lost 3 out of the first 4 in the playoffs but am now at 4-3

streaks come both ways


A little Appleton rum there Bob, or what do you prefer ? I love rum . Too much
