GoeGurt · 01-21-13, 01:42 PM

amrit · 01-21-13, 01:47 PM

I'm definitely taking a shot on them tonight.

LOL -- in theory Speedy.

In theory.

Speedy88 · 01-21-13, 04:05 PM

I can't think of the last time I won money off the Lakers......Just want to know if today is the day. I feel like LA is the play, but it almost looks too easy.

jazzyj7 · 01-21-13, 05:20 PM

I sorta see the trap but not really, That's why I'm pounding LA here. If the line was +2.5, +3 then I would consider it a trap. Reminds me of North Carolina, Virginia line. Virginia-1 Then moves to -3 hoping to lure people in on the ML for North Carolina. If the bulls were gonna win I think you would see the line at +2.5 LA. With the current line they don't get pounded on the ML for LA backers and they still have the publc taking the bulls. I'm prob. wrong but that's just my opinion.

leetreaper · 01-21-13, 05:24 PM

Why would anyone even CONSIDER betting lakers at this point...???

necro · 01-21-13, 05:39 PM

I'm on them, think they gonna bounce back after yesterday debacle.

Gamble32jn · 01-21-13, 05:40 PM

My first bet of the season and I HATE betting the lakers but im putting 1unit on them. I have watched them this year fall apart like crazy but bulls have been the same. I see the lakers winning here. Just my thoughts

Speedy88 · 01-21-13, 05:49 PM

Any news on Deng yet?

innovation · 01-21-13, 05:54 PM

same as this morning from Rotoworld
Luol Deng (hamstring) did not participate in shootaround and is unlikely to play against the Lakers on Monday.
Deng has not officially been ruled out and Tom Thibodeau said "we'll see" when asked of Deng's availability, but he was a game-time call in his last one and wound up not playing. After aggravating a hamstring injury on Friday, the Bulls can't afford to rush Deng back out on the floor, and we don't expect him to play. Jimmy Butler would draw another start if Deng sits.

I like the Lakers and I played them here. Hopefully I continue my current hot streak, down only 5x on the season after being down 45 late december.

lol unreal same news same time.

Speedy88 · 01-21-13, 05:56 PM

I'm usually not one to fade a team because a player is out due to injury, but I got no problem playing LA if he is out.

innovation · 01-21-13, 05:57 PM

ditto

If he was playing this line should be even more of a red flag for bulls backers.

Then again with Miami, Lakers, Knicks lines are always skewed. To try and make sense of when the books are hinting or not.

Yep the current line is assuming he is out. If not this would probably be CHI -3.

cockblocker · 01-21-13, 06:05 PM

Nobody even mentioning that the Bulls are playing 3 games in 4 days with all of them going to OT.

No coincidences · 01-21-13, 06:52 PM

Did you ever think you'd see the day when the Lakers were playing the Bulls with no Rose and probably no Deng and yet they're still an underdog?

no respect to LA haha

DallasMaverick41 · 01-21-13, 06:59 PM

If I win my spurs bet, I'll put some down on the Lakers.

krk1030 · 01-21-13, 07:09 PM

Lakers/Spurs ML Parlay

250/450

JM92 · 01-21-13, 07:17 PM

I am on the Lakers for the 5th time this year on the spread. 4-0 so far. 4-1 betting against them on the spread, tryin' to make it 9-1. This is absolutely ridiculous having in mind I usually don't get to watch them a lot, probably the team watch less per year (even lesser that the Warriors and the Kings), yet they have been makin me money this season. Let's see tonight, I just don't think Chi-town can pull this one through.

bjb7223 · 01-21-13, 07:30 PM

under in both lakers and spurs games

Speedy88 · 01-21-13, 08:08 PM

I'm gonna take the Lakers here. Please don't let me down Lakers.

If the Lakers lose this one, it's time to exchange them for the Sparks.

Huego · 01-21-13, 08:46 PM

Lakers on b2b roadies this season:

first game 0-4 ATS
second game 4-0 ATS

bleek88 · 01-21-13, 08:49 PM

if u play the lakers, you my friend, are lost.

Told You So! · 01-21-13, 08:58 PM

I'm on the lakers and starting to get that doubt/regret In my stomach which is 100% accurate that I am on the wrong side...

abc888 · 01-22-13, 01:06 AM

i realize the nba moneyline odd shown in pinnaclesport website is somehow different from the one shown in sbforum?
For example, match between boston celtic and cleveland, the spread odd shown on pinnacle site is -2.020 where it shows -110 on the forum. Just wondering whats the problem.
Anyway, mind telling me what sportbooks you guys are using right now?

Try any in the recommended list above... You can also click 'Become A Pro' under your avatar and sign up on one of those sports-books.

Me... i've been using 'Heritage Sports' faithfully and think it is one of the best.

No. The Lakers were not the play.

I still don't know why I took them. Really had no read or angle on the game. I just thought they would be too much for the a Bulls team w/o Rose and Deng. Sad day for Laker nation.

PAULYPOKER · 01-22-13, 03:01 AM

I bet the fukkin Lakeshow for the last time against the heat

They actually made one of my 90% losing LOCK threads cover,Lol

Miami Heat +2.5 are an absolute WINDFALL!

Speedy88 · 01-23-13, 06:56 PM

Ok....tonight is the night guys. I THINK the Lakers are the play tonight against Memphis. Gonna take one last shot with them.
