Sixers Cavs

First let me start off by saying that I have been gambling since I was 13 with football pools.

I am now 46 so I have been involved with a lot of outcomes relating to sports betting.

Watching the Sixers and Cavs was one of those special ones.

I took the over for the game 186.5 for a nice piece.

I then lay the over 92.5 for the 2nd half going for broke to cover my 186.5 for the game lowering it to 180.5.

After the 3rd qt its a lost cause.

Then in the forth it gets interesting.

With a minute to go I need 10 points.

I'm think wow can't believe I got this close but know way I'm getting 10.

Looking for OT

To make a long story short Cavs in bound with 4.5 and I believe it was James

Drove to the hoop lost control and Devin Brown scooped it up drove from the

left base line and was fouled by 2 Sixers take your pick they said Dalembert.

The game was over!

Sixers head to the locker room I'm down by 1.5 and screaming foul!

Now you almost never see what I saw happen when you have already lost.

The ref on Sixers court goes to the replay and states he called a foul and needs

to see if it was called before time ran out.

Sure enough and I'm from Philly mind you the replay shows the call.

The announcement is made over the pa and there is bedlam.

They have to pull the Sixers players out of the locker room.

Needless to say Harper make both and the Sixers lose.

But I pull one of the greatest wagers I ever placed, and that's saying

something.

Just a gamblers story I wanted to share.

Rightfully so.... that was brutal, not a fan of either team, it was just brutal, I'm thinking a litle too much Lebron love?

Phily has been playing ball as of late
