Leans for Wednesday, 12/3/08

[cocknocker]

cn leaf, you're about to laugh at this one. Greek has taken the Utah/Miami game OFF the board altogether @ 11:47 am pst! And now the consensus is 50% to 50%

[africanroller]

Is the Utah game off the board everywhere. I went to eat and came back to put my play and it was gone?

[nick2060]

why would it be off the board? and its off at 5dimes too

[chipper8888]

-14 for the celtics scares the life out of me

But as a wise man once told me its helathy to be scared

The Pacers had the game of their life last night and are surely due for a let down tonight

[cnleaf]

yeah, i cant find it on my books either.
darn it. Im still waiting for it to drop down a little bit more.

[jjusttiff]

im new to all of this, and i may say that predictions are awsome...though tell me something is miami going to win or utah? im only learning by reading all your spreads..but still trying to work out the "-" thing and "+" thing as i usual bet on o's and unders, or hd/hd.

[africanroller]

NO/PHO went off the board also

[nick2060]

lol its madness, anybody with experience got a theory as to why this usually happens?

[nick2060]

dwayne wade is questionable with a migrane...i guess that could've done it

[cnleaf]

they adjust NOR line to -8.5. Shaq should be rested tonite. It can be the same situation for UTA. someone is coming out to play for UTA.

[cocknocker]

nick2060,

the linemaker has realized that he has made a mistake and has been notified by certain books that he has done so, and the games wer taken off the board while he is trying to appease the books outrage at the amount of bettors placing their money on a certain side that was thought to be the secret or the books side. I know that me and the peope that I associate with privately pounded Utah immediately when the line went down to 3.5, buying a point to make our spreads 2.5. Linesmaker Sportbook had it at 3.5 the longest (30 minutes), Greek had it up for only 15 minutes or so. Then it became hard to pull up their site altogether for a minute.

[nick2060]

Steve nash is doubtful, shaq is questionable, so im guessing nash isn't playing

[cocknocker]

Hopefully the line doesn't come back on the board as Utah -6.5 for the CK mafia types that didn't log on earlier. 6 is perfect, but 6.5 is 8 in basketball wagering. So if so, a hook should be bought to make it 6, as that is around where i had this game pegged from the giddy.

[nick2060]

whats your take on pheonix without nash, you think new orleans is a good play?

[cs11787]

Hey Ck. You still like LA -9 and Bos -14? And What about the Cavs? I say Lebron and team should have their way with the knicks?

[Sloanie29]

3 team tease

opinions on this $500 tease

hawks -2
lakers -1.5
pacers +20.5

[nick2060]

how much does that pay sloanie

[cocknocker]

cs11787,

I would either buy a point for Boston to take it straight, or tease both of them together (Boston-9, Lakers-5) and shorten your bet amount. Boston-13 is basically the same as -12, as it would take a 14 point win to cash the ticket. If you make the Lakers-8. It still takes a 9 point win to cash your ticket. So you might as well take the 9. All that that means is that the Lakers must win by 10 in order to make everyone happy.

[Sloanie29]

only pays $475, but figured maybe worth the risk...seems like has a good shot of hitting

[maddogmadden86]

man i'm glad i got my utah bet in and hammered it when i did god bless CK, know lets cash these tickets! P.s i'm on break during my series 7 class all this shit makes me want to do is smoke a fatty!

[cs11787]

I can get Lakers -8.5 right now so ill do that. Bos is still at -14 so I guess ill buy a point if my local lets me do that im not sure. Sound like a winner? Lol

[nick2060]

yea it looks good man, good luck

[cs11787]

Thanks you too. Still no thoughts on the knicks cavs game guys? Knicks had a good run last night just like the pacers did (except knicks ended up losing). Now theyre going to Cleveland. Sounds like it should be a blowout no?

[maddogmadden86]

has anyone noticed that all the games tonight have the favorites all heavily favored by 8-15 points besides foir the bulls/bucks game done think i have ever seen such high spreads

[maddogmadden86]

lebron at home anything can happen no one on the knicks can stop that gazzel when he drives to the whole plus they dont have any defense or the hight that the cavs do ill look into it later once i get out of this blasted class

[tee401]

Yesterday is a Doggy day!!! maybe today gonna be the Favor day!! Who knows (^.^)/

[The_Kid]

Steve nash is doubtful, shaq is questionable, so im guessing nash isn't playing

Nash is doubtful because of flu like symptoms. He didn't even participate in the morning shootaround, so it looks like he won't be playing. They are calling Wade a game time decision though the Coach said he is feeling better than yesterday.

[wangichu]

Hey Ck do you still like the lakers -8.5, and celts -14? Up to how high would you take them? And what do you think about the over on the LAL game?

I would definitely play the under if anything... no way the sixers score more than 90 and the lakers will happily sit on 108... the sixers have nothing but jump shooters and a few drivers, but the lakers won't let people in the lane, using their overwhelming size advantage over the sixers, and after getting burned by jump shooters last night, there's no way they let a group of less talented jump shooters burn them tonight. From what i've seen the sixers just aren't good enough to hang with the lakers, athleticism, shooting, and definitely down low.. plus i will ALWAYS pound the lakers coming off a loss. Phil straightens them up good and gets them coming out much better and more professionally dominant, especially defensively speaking... they will d the hell up as they have been doing this year, and philly just doesn't have the talent that the pacers have to compete. lakers get pissed after losing and you don't want to piss the lakers off... they just might slaughter you.

[maddogmadden86]

with you on that wang lakers will romp the sixers tonight, what else you like for tonight?

[wangichu]

MIL -4

michael redd is coming back tonight, and ordinarily i'd prefer to fade for minute mixing purposes, but the bulls are tired after an emotional OT loss last night and are facing an angry bucks squad who has gotten slapped around last two and still remembers losing to chicago on opening day, so add revenge to the mix and i can't see the bucks NOT covering tonight...

any thoughts CK?

and damn... still can't get UTAH on sportsbook... lame.

[Devon]

Bogut has been great for the Bucks this year, wang.

Do you reckon he will play considering his knee? Something to think about when taking the Bucks but they do look good.

Milwaukee Bucks status date
Andrew Bogut Day-to-Day Dec 2
Comment: Bogut (knee) is expected to practice on Tuesday and could be back in action for the first time since getting hurt on Nov. 24, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

[maddogmadden86]

anyone liking the twolves, they are 4-1 last 5 ats in orlando
road team is 4-0 ATS
underdog is 9-3 ATS last 12 meetings

[cs11787]

Ya I already took LA -8.5. They will be pissed and fired up tonight. Both teams played last night too and I believe Lakers have more stamina. Also, is it luck I just got Utah -3.5 from a local that didnt have a clue what was going on?

[CTS5]

Lakers 1st half tonight is bank

Take the lakers 1st half -5 heavy. The players are pissed off, the coaches are pissed off, there is no way the lakers wont be up by double digits by half time. LOCK IT!

[showtime2000]

anyone liking the twolves, they are 4-1 last 5 ats in orlando
