    Martingale on the Lakers ML today for a nice chunk

    I put $300 on the Lakers in game 3 ML and $150 on the spread and lost both. I'm doubling that bet today but putting it on the ML. I'm risking $900 at +105. That's not a good price but I don't need the couple measly points. If Phil Jackson isn't stupid he will make an adjustment and let Bryant guard Terry and Kidd. I thought he would have done this in the last game but Bryant was used as a roaming defender primarily

    The reason why this bet is big is because I've only been betting a game per week pretty much in the playoffs so while I've lost 4-5 bets I haven't been betting on really any games.

    Gasol should be a force today for a change and the Lakers just need to elimnate the mental mistakes. They had game 3 in the bag and started feeding the ball to Odom in the last 3 minutes. The ball only went to Bryant once in the last three minutes, which anytime this happens, the Lakers will never win any games. Expect Bryant to close this one out before the Mavs even have a chance to get back into it.

    There is no reason to martingale anything... just take Chicago tonight instead and watch a good team make you money.

    dont fight it. Lakers have no one that can cover 7 feet of fade shooting or hitting at 3 point land. Gasols 6 feet something of nothing cant match him. They have no answer for kid. Kobe might be able to keep the lakers in the game but not by the 6-12 points the lakers should e getting. This line is a gift and should be pounded. Laying 2 points to a subpar team should have the local books shreaded.

    Disagree,

    Riding the wave on Dallas b/c even if LAL gets some whistles - Dallas is a jumpshooting team so it's not like hacks will go uncalled when they hardly take it inside to begin with. Homecourt + Sad Panda Pau b/c his girl dumped him = $$$

    Lakers let it go in 4th last game and think they hold on for at least 1 game.

    Not sure I can accomplish what you are doing even if I tried. Feel bad for you. Should think about fading yourself.

    U write good but think bad,a team with trust issius and that have lost to big leads late in 2 out 3 games will have so small confidence that they will have problem beating a college team.And Gasol a big game?You must be kidding have you seen any game of the series?

    Holla at ya boy. How quickly ppl forget their history, this game is a mirror to Boston's clinching game against LA 4 years ago. Same situation - Lakers be frontrunners

    i can never rag somebody for a losing bet because we all make them, but when you are referring to "martingdaling" why not the Mavs? That was my strategy after getting my medicine from LA in Game 2.. The reason for Martingdaling Mavs was because you knew damn good and well that LA was never winning this series, especially after going down 0-3? You was only thinking of martingdaling your loses and should have focused on the series instead and would have gotten back your loses and then some.
