I got curious and punched SportsHoopla's vBookie results in the NBA and NHL Finals into a spreadsheet. :typing:
In case anyone else is interested, here it is: :tea:

View attachment 16777

Summary:

- The House loved the NBA Finals (+27K) but hated the NHL Finals (-30K). Together, the 2 series were close to a wash for the House.

- Of the bettors, everyone hated the NBA Finals except me (+4K).

- @Ritzarmy was truly phenomenal (+19K) in the NHL Finals.

Of course I only bet once tonight and I copied Busport. I bet almost $1,000 on Braves winning and they lose. Bus bet on like 6 other games and I think they all win. :L The one game I copy him on. Is it hockey season yet? :gaah:

...but... I didn't bet on the Braves... I bet on the under. So you have to be more careful if copying. ;)

Actually, though, I lost a bunch of vcash tonight. *Shakes head at Peru's inability to score even with Venezuela down a man for half the match.*

Damn did you at least win on the under for the braves game or would I have lost either way?

Anyone know of a real betting site that you bet just like on here? Not fan dual. I want to bet on who wins who loses, over/under not creating a team. I shouldn't be asking because I'm afraid of losing my shirt, then the closet with the shirts then the house.

Hi, I'm MRW2KU and I'm a degenerate gambler. First time meeting since I threw away 4 large stacks of "High Society" on the LA Dodgers ML versus the Diamondbacks of Zona w/ Kershaw on the bump.

I thought I was "cured", but here I am...again. I want to drink tonight.

Yeah, I won on the under 7.5. Just barely, though; thought I was going to lose when it hit 5-2 in the top of the 7th.

I dont understand @Microwahevo @SportsHoopla Bookie why i lost the argentina vs columbia game. I picked argentina and they won in PK


In soccer betting, it is always considered a regulation time only bet. That is why draw is one of the options. It was also mentioned in the description. This game went into penalty kicks which is not part of regulation time.

For Women's World Cup and Copa America and any elimination tournament we are going to try and odds with (to advance) as options which would include any extra time or penalty kicks.

I've been doing better since I started following you, Nos, Bus, and Why work.

Once again I warn you not to follow my bets. I make stupid picks once in awhile. The only good picks I make is when it's copying @whywork2 and @BusSport. Those 2 are great betters. I got lucky in NHL finals. Hope you continue your mini hot streak :suds:

The Angels bet today threw me a little. I just bet the over, not the actual winner.
