Somebody slap me when I talk about playing any team as a 4 to 1 favorite ever again. Just too much tempation behind the scenes for such a big dog not to bite. Too many minimum wager types in strategic positions to let something like this get away.

Have to ask myself, what do I stand to gain if it wins? Answer: Not Enough.

Confidence is high (still) and I'm smirking again.

For a moment (although a brief one)... I actually considered the Lakers -600 on the money line on Thursday. I was thinking... no way they lose at home to the Wolves.

Obviously something clicked in my brain. Way too much risk for such a minor reward. Lakers lost big to them a couple of nights before... and the Wolves have a better record.

-600 NEVER.

Finding value is the key to success... or you'll always be chasing big losses. And that's not the way to enjoy this.

Good luck!

Right on!

I dodged that same bullet w/ the Lakers.
