Recap:
Winner. What a fucking tournament. I had a tournament and a half. I loved every second of it. Yeah, it was chalk but man, did I enjoy making money off the chalk. This was a pretty nice win. Houston hit some shots early, but then things started to slow down in the first half. It picked up slightly later on, but then Houston went cold again to end it. I was sitting nice with them finishing at 31 in the first half. The score was also close enough that I knew it would slow down late. I didn’t expect dog shit officiating in the second half, though. I don’t know what was said at halftime between the refs, but it was complete bullshit. I think they were told to slow the game down after calling a great first half for whatever fucking reason. Florida had five fouls in three minutes. So obviously the refs had to call some makeup fouls against Houston, which was great for the bet. Terrible for the actual game and viewing experience, but great for the bet. Houston was going to fuck me by getting to the foul line and heating up. At one point, they had a big enough lead that I was seriously worried about getting fouled to death. Thankfully, the bricks started flying and Florida was able to make a run and get back in the game. Just as Houston lived by the sword of being on the right side of a choke job, they died by the sword and choked. They kept turning it over and bricking shots in the final five minutes. Florida took the lead by two from the foul line and it was actually better that they missed one and only led by two. Houston had 20 seconds left, and all I could do was pray they went for three so we could avoid an OT loser. Thank you, Houston, for coming up big for me one more time with that final possession. Winner. I hated betting against Houston because I like them and how they play. They were good to me all season, and I appreciate them coming through one last time even at their own expense. But you don’t watch basketball all season to go with your heart in the title game. You go with what you know and I was dead on. What a tournament. Probably my best one ever from a betting standpoint going game by game. I think I only missed Gonzaga/Houston. Now it’s time to carry this into every sport, because I am on one. I need to make this run go on forever.

Groundbreaking Analysis:
I’m sticking with basketball. I can’t get enough of it right now. I don’t know what it is, but I’m hooked. Maybe it has something to do with this run I’m on or the fact that my favorite team has Luka Doncic. Either way, I found another play I love here. This is a primetime game, but it’s a meaningless spot for both teams. The Celtics are locked into the 2 seed, and the Knicks are locked into the 3 seed. Why does that matter, other than this being a meaningless game? Because these two teams should face each other in the second round of the playoffs. I don’t see how that doesn’t happen, especially with how weak the conference is. That means neither team wants to show their hand in a throwaway regular season game. If anything, I think the Knicks might try harder just because they’re the Knicks, and they never do the right thing. I like both teams to mail it in here, and I expect a lower scoring game. It is as simple as that. We keep it going. We keep pushing. We keep running. Give me another under. Under. Under. Under. For Underia. 🏴
