With these two game nights, it's really easy to lost them all and feel like you did terribly (which you did) or win them all and feel like you did fantastic (which is not exactly true). Winning only one feels "meh" but still results in lost money. Which will it be?
The Results 1/6
Milwaukee (+4.5) over Phoenix. Odds: 1.90.
Suns won by 6. Lost $100
Detroit (+7.5) over San Antonio. Odds: 1.95.
Pistons won by 1. Won $195
Totals: Bets: $200. Winnings: $195. NET: -$5
January Total: -$215
Meh, and I lost $5
The Games 1/7
Houston (-6.5) over Cleveland. Odds: 1.90. I'm done with Cleveland. I'm always expecting them to play better than they do. Houston also hasn't been great but I'm picking against Cleveland out of principal and the hope that I finally win a bet involving them.
76ers (+6.5) over Milwaukee. Odds: 1.90. Milwaukee travels and is on a back to back. Philly has played well?(maybe they've played ok?) I don't know. Go Sixers
New Orleans (-4.5) over Charlotte. Odds: 1.90. I don't trust either team but only one of them has their best player injured.
Washington (-14.5) over New York. Odds: 1.90. I'd love to take New York, I would. That spread is so huge. But I won't.
Brooklyn (-4.5) over Boston. Odds: 1.90. This might be my most uncomfortable, I don't think I've taken Brooklyn yet but I heard that they were playing decent so I'll take a flyer.
Atlanta (-3.5) over Memphis. Odds: 1.90. I'm going to continue betting Hawks until they start disappointing me.
Chicago (-10.5) over Utah. Odds: 1.90. I'll take Chicago beating Utah by double digits.
Detroit (+9.0) over Dallas. Odds: 1.90. Dallas has been good but I'll keep with the streaking Pistons despite the back to back where they travel (essentially same situation as Milwaukee but I'm picking the other way). I'm taking Stan Van Gundy's potty mouth to cover.
Orlando (+7.5) over Denver. Odds: 1.90. Denver is super random this year so I'm just going to guess, no real reasons.
Phoenix (-8.5) over Minnesota. Odds: 1.90. The third team today on a traveling back to back, but I'm picking them because they're playing Minnesota and that's good enough for me.
Oklahoma City (-7.5) over Sacramento. Odds: 1.90. I like OKC to win by double digits, which means that I pick them with this spread.
Golden State (-11.0) over Indiana. Odds: 1.90. I don't dare go against the Warriors, even with the Pacers, who tend to keep it close.
LA Lakers (+10.5) over LA Clippers. Odds: 1.90. This one's a wild one. I think Kobe goes for 90 points and 15 assists, meaning that they'll score at least 120 points which should be good enough to not lose by more than 10. You never know though.
Ball night.
