He has not even lost the bet yet. The season has a long way to go.

Not only that but he didn’t bet anyone anything so who cares.

I have always wondered if one should avoided betting games (any sport) after a coach has been fired.
Tonight the Bulls are +8.5 @ Pacers. Can the Bulls start a winning streak tonight and turn things around?

Usually I bet against the team. But I want Bulls to win because I took the lock for $5.

Bulls cover. They also lose and their winning percentage drops to a nice round 0.2. But it was still a great bet and a lock to win, because no matter what the result, ZK is smarter than everyone else, therefore it was a great bet and a lock to win.

Lock of The Century Update.


Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison scored a basket tonight with 21 seconds remaining in the game , shaving the Celtics lead down to just 56. However that would be the lone bright spot in a hard fought 133-77 home loss for Chicago.

You can’t judge them, Bobby Portis is hurt. Result would have been completely different.

Lock of The Century 2 update:

Bulls are 10-31 , at exactly their halfway mark of the season.

Need to go 18-23 over the final 41 games for the lock of the century over 27.5 to win.

Tonight they look to get that second half started well , playing at Golden State.

Keep trolling my thread. When the whole starting lineup except 1 player miss the first 25 games of the season, then idk how you can try to rub it in? You cant predict something like that. When something like that happens, you were just unlucky. No amount of studying or handicapping can forecast major injuries to your whole starting lineup.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

This is untrue.

No need to exaggerate. They were hit hard by injuries, but lavine and carter have been healthy.

Really? Carter? The rookie? Lmao. Hes gonna be good, but hes a rookie and a 7th pick coming out of the draft. No one expected much from him the first year other than to be fundamentally sound and a 'safe pick'. He will be a future all star tho within the next 5 years.

The exact reason why it will never end up good for you. You can’t accept you are not perfect. You can’t accept people lose gambling, even when the odds are in your favor.

Do us all a favor and don’t take innocent people with you when you realize this.

Trust me, you don’t have what it takes.

Therefore no claims of it being a lock can be considered valid.

The red hot Bulls win their third straight game tonight , beating the Celtics as a 10.5 point dog. (+600 on the moneyline)

Now at 16-44 though 60 games. Need to go 12-10 over their final 22 in order for Lock of the Century II to cash.

the 2nd Lock of the Century has been lost

it's crystal clear as to why

clearly the Bulls and other NBA teams knew about the bet and 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 to make sure it lost

that can be the only explanation

That is not fair. He clearly explained that it lost because of injuries. How would anyone even consider the possibility of injuries when quoting a lock of the century? Lol

You'd think the casinos would offer refunds in the unlikely event a star athlete gets hurt. Shame on them.

the Bulls might have been better if the entire team was injured and they had to go to the D league to get players

He's suspended for 30 days, considered voluntary since he pulled the pin with his f-bombs. If he returns, he will do so thru the Wizard.

I like the Knights, how they support the community, and the way they mesh as a team.

I also found it to be a good value bet at the time. Probably still is, though the consensus line is now 13:1.

And, as tough as Boz makes it sometimes, I like him personally and felt like making the bet at a relatively fair value.
