Annoying that I accidently did the overs in the Knicks game instead of the unders as that was my more confident play for today. Frustrating.

I did the same thing with Detroit 1-10, just went onto the account and realised now. Very annoying.

If the Lakers Suns game goes another 11 points I'm up 10 units for the day

 

[demon_fanatic]

wow suns up 7 and lakers suddenly chop it back to 2.. but odom gets a tech foul.. what an idiot!! lakers need a stop out of the timeout.. down 3

 

[DT_35]

F*cking pathetic lakers

 

[IDIG]

Up 4¼ units with the last game to come. Didn't plan on betting on it but the line just seemed too high.

Damn should've stuck with just going h2h but wasnt planning on betting on that game anyway so the extra half unit is a nice bonus

 

[Borgsta]

I am starting to think 0.5 units on each team could be profitable long term. I will start tomorrow by putting $1 on each team 1-10 so that I am not throwing away too much money if my theory goes **** up.

Good first day. Winners are as follows.

Phoenix 1-10 @ 6.10
Houston 1-10 @ 3.05
Detroit 1-10 @ 3.60
Atlanta 1-10@ 2.60

Spent $10
Returned $15.35

Haha. I saw this, liked the insight, and intended to do a unit on each but got caught in a meeting. Missed all the early games and figured I'd missed the boat, but took Phoenix 1-10 for a unit anyway @ 5.50.

 

[foxy_dal]

Not sure exactly but I think over the last 3 days if you backed the team with the positive points start you would have hit 18/23. Few close ones which could have gone either way depending when you got them (such as Bobcats +1.5 yesterday) but you get the idea.

tailed you on this experiment for $5 a pop. And due to OKC game not being on sportingbet it helped me go 4/4.
+$36.75

Tomorrow:

1 unit on MIN+9.5 @ $1.90 into DET+7 @ $1.90

Starting to really like the Timberwolves.

Since that Lakers game their form has improved. That +9.5 looks good. The headstart has been set too high in many of the games and until this trend stops can't see any reason to go against it.

Surely everybody now knows Orlando is in a form slump? Need to turn around that shooting percentage. Rudy Gay is having a breakout year. Wouldn't mind if Orlando smashed them but gotta take +8.5.

Pistons on a short backup and going against a fresher Golden State is a danger game.

David Lee is out with a knee op but Monta Ellis is so exciting anything can happen. +7 Pistons looks decent enough.

Nets have been the Miami whipping boy team early in the season. Lopez is improving and starting to nail the shots. Backing a bad team like the Clippers is too dangerous for me. +2 Nets.

Considering using my $100 free bet on Minnesota...thoughts?

 

[Cruiser23]

Wish i had have had time yesterday, Detroit and Phoenix were juciy with their lines. Might from now on take the 1-10 plus the points for underdogs if i think they've got some sort of chance at pulling an upset.

Wolves have killed me so far, might will be on them today, hopefully they pull through, though the three in four, back to back today is a slight worry.

Like Denver in their situation too.

Don't bet on shit teams.

Better chance putting it on Denver

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Flush it down the toilet instead?

Nah, they could pull of an upset, who knows, stranger things have happened. If I were you tho, I'd fight something close to even money and put it on that. I know it's tempting to go the long odds, but I'd go for something shorter with a better chance.

 

[Hodgepodgey]

2.5 Units S.A against OHC $2.15


4 Units Lakers -9.5 against Phoenix $1.87

Lakers are a pain to predict, don't think i'll be betting on their lines for a while

They have been in better form IMO, the flight will lessen their chances but I'm reasonably confident. I already won 2 free $50 bets on odds of $3.50 (Boston v Miami) and $2 so I have already locked in some profit, I'd rather go for longer odds now, which is what I have done.

Agree and agree. Memphis aren't a bad team and pushed Boston to OT 2 days ago. Big chance to beat the Magic and they actually have quality big men in Zbo and MGasman.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Plays for 16/11

Not a whole lot I like tomorrow, I think the line that the Timberwolves have probably sticks out, but Beasley and KLove are playing some good Basketball at the moment and that alone should be enough to keep them within the line. They were good today I thought. Charlotte are an OK team and a lot of there games end close as they struggle to put teams away so I am hoping for a similar game tomorrow.

Orlando are in an offensive slump but the defence is still holding up OK, coming in at #4 in the league for least amount of points allowed per game with just 92 and only puting up 99 themselves I can see this game being a low scoring one. Memphis shot 54% against Boston and put up 99 in real time and I think the Orlando defence is a bit tighter than the Boston one so far.

Timberwolves +9 vs. Bobcats @ 1.91 - 1.3 units
Memphis vs. Orlando - Under 200 @ 1.90 - 1 unit

YTD Outlay: 58 units
YTD Bets: 45 (/19/24)
YTD Return: (54.9 units -.8 units)

I think Denver are a pretty good show. Pumped from their win over the Lakers and with a rest vs a Phoenix team that seems to struggle on the B2B.

They have played two this season, beat Utah then lost to the Lakers, beat Atlanta then lost to Memphis.

Also like the Grizzlies with that line, Orlando are struggling a bit having lost to the Raps at home then squeaking past the Nets. Shard and Q Rich aren't doing a hell of a lot so they are almost playing with 3 starters right now. Memphis were impressive against a very strong Boston outfit recently too.

 

[demon_fanatic]

oh dear damn lakers cost me today $20 multi at 2.23 ($26 profit) $5 multi at $7 ($30 profit) and $2 multi for them -9 at $25 ($48 profit) so over $100 in profit... would of at least expected them to win... oh well i still ended up $22.08 for day after nailing my gut feelings on HOUSTON, DETROIT AND SPURS.. all experienced underdogs on the road against young home teams that simply arent firing properly at the moment.. so was happy there

tommorow i like pistons +7... Gordon, Villanueva off bench is really great for them and the starting 5 is still solid.. this current good run of form should see them play well and with spirit against a Golden State team minus David Lee.. that is huge as Detroit struggle on the boards normally.. Can't see Detroit getting blown away here.. line has come into +6.5 now..

will go with the trend and back twolves +9.5 and grizz +8.5.. but i think Magic may awaken tommorow but oh well got to fade them while they struggle...

also going Suns/Nugs +217.. despite Suns playing tonight.. i don't see them wanting to slow down at home.. so if Jrich/nash/Turkoglu and then JR/Billups/Harrington etc can hit an ok amount of threes.. we should see a 115-110 scoreline type.. also with Lopez out maybe.. suns might try and play even quicker...

i also like Denver to finally break their 11 game losing streak at Phoenix.. just a gut feel.. but won't act on it.. who else likes denvers chances?

yer denver is tempting but lost their past 11 at phoenix.. i guess streaks have to end somewhere.. maybe Lopez out turns it into a 3 point shooting contest basically.. as suns minor advantage of having him to score inside is gone if he is out
