Play in
The NBA play in games start tonight. I saw the Pelicans were slightly favoured in their matchup against the Lakers. Does anyone actually believe the Pelicans can win? When I saw this last night, I wanted to make a bet so I looked into nitrobetting which allows you to bet anon with Bitcoin but they don't have lightning deposit and withdraw and the minimum deposit is 5 mBTC (1/1000th of a bitcoin for those of us that don't pay attention to anything but sats) so I didn't bother. I wanted to bet 50k sats on this game not 500k.
We definitely need a LN Markets style product for sats based micro sports betting.
I should have done this earlier but since people zapped me so many sats yesterday on my SN Invite Link post, I should give some away. Lets do a pick 'em for the NBA play in tournament. I will post that shortly since we are on a tight timeline.
SN has announced, former Texas Ranger and Los Angeles Angel, (and mlb all star) CJ Wilson will be doing an AMA today. Hope you will all join. I am really looking forward to this and I know everyone wants to talk to him about Bitcoin and sports so I will try not to ask him too many baseball questions. Try.
Sats for all, GR

@Public_N_M_E don’t forget we are mocking you tomorrow. Can you provide me with your list of positions of need?

Yessir 🫡
Tier 1 needs. iOL, iDL, CB1.
Tier 1.5 needs. ;) QB, Edge.
Tier 2 needs. S. LB.
Tier 2.5 needs. ;) RB. WR3
Tier 3 needs. Punter. Kicker.
I've used 0.5s purely because we've picked up some FAs that we can roll with for this season but we should look to the future at the same time. The tier 1s are things we have a glaring need at and haven't added any free agents.
Let's go!! Baaarrrooooooo! Excitable gjallarhorn noises!

I was just about to ask. I'm going to be kind of busy tomorrow, so I made a preemptive Viking draft. I think it was pretty good.

I'm always happy to take your money. You want to do 5k on Lakers/Pels? You could end up ahead on our NBA bets.

Woah. You want to take the Pelicans? Have you seen those two teams play? The Lakers own them.

You've taken the less favorable end of the past couple of bets, so I'll take the Pelicans this time. Vegas must know something, right?

Good luck on your bet, because I think GR won't be needing the luck by betting on the Lakers.

Pelicans did beat the Lakers once this year. So I guess anything can happen but I would be shocked if the Lakers lose.

I appreciate it.
I did jinx him by choosing the Lakers in the pich 'em, at least.

I spent so many sats on this AMA zapping everything. Things could get ugly if I lose this bet.

Game is closer than I expected. I thought lakers would be up by 30 and then give some back in 4th.

Zion was a beast tonight. I also thought the game wouldn't be so close, that the Lakers would blow the Pels away with a commanding lead. I guess I was wrong.
In other news, they lit the beam in Sacramento tonight. Kings was the team that had the commanding lead and dominant win tonight. Can we finally officially say that the dynasty is over?

Can we finally officially say that the dynasty is over?
I was wondering about that. I'm sure they're going to shed salary this summer, but would it be possible to bundle Paul, Wiggins, and picks to trade for a cheaper talent upgrade?
Steph, Klay, Draymond, Moody, and Kuminga still might be something they can build around.

I think it has been over for awhile now. I think Steph would like to go back to his roots and play for the Raptors.

I think Klay is done. Too inconsistent to win with him. You can't play over 30 minutes in an elimination game and have zero points. Steph's window is quickly closing too, not enough time for the young guys to develop enough to go deep in the playoffs, or even make the playoffs. Then Draymond is just a complete wildcard that you don't know when he will get himself ejected. That core is done, it had a good run and brought 4 championships. Break it up, trade for picks, and rebuild. Let Steph have some veteran influence on the young guys before he retires.

It was over last year when they lost to lakers in playoffs

I thought I had it. WTF happened to Zion?
Until proven otherwise, I'm going to maintain that he pooped his pants like Paul Pierce.

I definitely thought Pelicans were going to take it when they came back from 11 down in 4th to tie it.

That was a lot of fun. Lebron going airborne taking that Zion charge was wild.

Yes, Porter has a bright future as a crypto trader getting blown up betting on dogwifhat coin.

The story how he was caught is interesting. A prop bet on himself raised eyebrows because no one previously made such bets

The perfect crime is most certainly was not. Did they think these betting platforms wouldn't be tracking anomalies?

In other news, Whitey Herzog has died. As a Mets fan in the '80s, of course I despised him, but I can't say I didn't respect him. Incredibly talented.

He was the opposite of Earl Weaver: never steal a base, never sacrifice bunt
Pitching, defense and 3 run homer

Small ball: speed, stealing bases, pitching, defense
Big stadium favored pitchers like John Tudor
