Big Play on 76ers ML -120

[t-wizzle]

I think this is a great spot to back the Sixers for a big play. They are coming off an extremely embarrassing loss to the previously winless Detroit Pistons and are now 1-3 at home this year. I think they right the ship tonight against Utah. In order to do so, they will need to man up and battle with Utah's bigs. Collins has challenged his team to play tougher after getting dominated on the boards and I expect them to respond with some fight tonight.

In order to offset some of Utah's size advantage, I look for the Sixers to push the tempo and get out and run with Holiday and Turner. In the midst of a 5 game homestand, I just can't see Philly dropping the first three.

This is my first big play of the year. Yes, I realize it is in the midst of a bad run in the NBA for me but I've more than made up for it in college hoops and football as well. I see this as a good spot to hammer a play that I really like.


76ers ML -120 (20x)

Good luck to everyone tonight

Utahs size is too much man.

[Roscoe_Word]

On it too.....Fri in Philly....would like a cheese steak and a coke....GL tonite !!

[Dharmonize]

I'm on the other side, not a big play, though. I understand your logic and it seems like a good spot for a bounce back, but I'd still hesitate to go big on a team that just lost their previous game to the atrocious Pistons in such an embarrassing manner. GL to you, man!

[PAULYPOKER]

Like the 6ers as well

[BigDofBA]

If you're that confident, why not play the spread?

-120 adds up on 20 unit plays.

If you're betting 20 units you must be confident so why pay a little extra? Surely they cover 1.5 right?

Utah is playing tough right now (almost took out Boston the other night and did take out Toronto in triple overtime). I dont see philly matching up well at all against the Jazz as they lack size in a major way. I think the sixers are last in the league in points in the paint. Just something to think about, in my opinion not the best game to being going "big" on.

[altieriflyers]

Also on it good luck

[mbo4422]

Hopefully they can get some shots to fall. They shot 29.5 % the other night against the Pistons. Its going to be rough until they get Bynum back. With no inside presence they don't get good perimeters shots because teams don't have to worry about an interior threat and can close out outside shooting. They need to get some fast break points because it's obvious their half court offense is not able to generate anything.

I'm laying off this one but I think you'll hit the ML.

[Itsamazing777]

Jazz win

[rumnblack]

Agree its a good spot for Philly, good luck

[impper]

philly are garbage in the weak east, can't score, can't shoot. they're playing nick young for god's sake. utah should pound these bums, road or not. philly can defend but utah is too big, they'll pound em on the boards. utah is legit this year

[SportsTerminator]

WOW, honestly I didn't even see your thread. Two minds do think a like. The 76ers is my free pick of the day. Cheers!

Take this from someone with a degree in actuarial science and statistics...

You don't understand math. Or sports.

[rnunez91]

Damn t wizzle, horrible pick... phili does NOT match up with utah.. this game is so lop sided on the back court it isnt even funny...

Funny considering I have an economics degree.

The probability Philly loses outright is higher than the probability of them winning by exactly 1 point. That's why I would play the spread.

If its a 20 unit play, you would have to be confident they win by more than one wouldn't you?

You look foolish if you think you're better off paying the juice in the long run. One play wouldn't be that bad but this line indicates its a coin flip so paying -120 over time on something that is 50/50 is just stupid.

I would be embarrassed to sport a PSU avatar btw.

[NittanyLionsFan]

It's funny how you're trying to talk down on me when you think the confidence in the pick or size of the wager matters. It doesn't at all. According to what you're saying you should always sell points if possible on all of your strong plays. You're an idiot.

Get a clue then get back to me.

And oh yeah..economics clearly has more to do with statistics than ActSci.

[NittanyLionsFan]

Down to me*

[t-wizzle]

BigD is just a hater. Ignore him Nittany. Go PSU.

[Itsamazing777]

Big play on the jazz. People assume a team will win after they get blown out. They don't magically become better. Utahs size is too much road record, or not.

[MrShrink]

Not a good spot to really bank on either team to come through. Utah= playin great, obv stronger in the frontcourt. Also, middle of an east coast road swing. Philly= rested, at home, good bounce back spot, can defend just about anybody besides al and mill. Think the line's pretty sharp. Both sides seem pretty gamble-y.

Lol. He isn't "selling" points idiot. He is basically buying points by taking the ML.

Are you an advocate of buying points and paying more on things with a probability of 50%?

Maybe you should get a clue.

In a one play instance it's not that big of a deal but long term you go broke faster.

There is a better chance Philly loses than there is they win by "exactly" one.

It would be like putting $1100 down on black while playing roulette and then putting an extra $100 down in case it lands on green.

Where did you get a degree from? Lol.

GL with the play T-Wizz.

[Speedy88]

Good luck bud, hope you hit it.

[t-wizzle]

Positive night?

[Eagles27]

I've been watching College all day, cant wait for this game to get started. Im on Utah, but good luck to everyone!

[t-wizzle]

Good first quarter. If Utah isn't retarded, they will isolate Jefferson on the block.

[tlsmith]

this game ended up being to close on which way it could go. i had to stay away. arena is like half empy mid way through the 2nd.

[tlsmith]

close at the half but good bet so far. hope u win homie

[t-wizzle]

Jazz will keep hanging around

[SmoovCruz]
