[cocknocker]

Dex,

At this rate, you will get that over you wanted. The Ducks and the Cowboys can't stop one another. I just hope the Quacks have the ball last

[cocknocker]

Dex, oh yeah, you know I don't play under or over key numbers on anything. Of course i got Buffalo as well, lol! I even bought a point with Arkansas today to get the line to 6.5, although I didn't need it. i also got Southern Mississippi down to 3.5, and Illinois i bought up to +7.5

[shoebox]

Come on Sac!!!!!!!!!

[Dexter]

one day, you have to explain to me "key numbers" - cause i have no idea what you're talking about...lol

[cocknocker]

Once Boston figures out that Blake is the only person on the Blazers doing ANYTHING, that would make things easier.

[maddogmadden86]

hey CK what are your thoughts on the under for the magic/bulls game tomorrow i feal pretty strong about this one they have never scored that many points each other and the bulls wont be able to do much agaisnt the magics D

[maddogmadden86]

dex i agree with you on denver tomorrow that was another one of my plays i like

[nonsense48]

one day, you have to explain to me "key numbers" - cause i have no idea what you're talking about...lol

dex a key # is an even # in bb 2 4 6 8 10 ect in football 3 6 7 10 13 14 ect u avoid pushes that way and up the odds in your favor

[nonsense48]

i like den also but i haven't seen a spread yet on that one bos by 5 at half

[cocknocker]

Dexter,

The nba is scored in multiples of 1, 2, 3 and an occasional 4 point play. The idea is to think in terms of 2 though as the majority of scores are 2 point baskets. The key numbers are the EVEN numbers and numbers with hooks attached. If I can get a line of 2.5, then that means that the favorite team for all intents and purposes has to win by 4. So what i would do with that spread is to take it to 1.5, and now the favorite only has to win by a 2 point bucket. SO what i try to do is to stay either on top of or under a key number. if i have to buy a hook off then i do that. If te line is a large line, then I will do what is necessary to get back to the closest key number and help my chances of getting a push.

For instance, say the Hornets are favored by 12.5. I would get that number down to 11.5 or 12, but i prefer to get it down to 11.5, but if I am not playing it too heavy , then i would buy a hook off and play the game at 12, which means that I would have to have the Hornes win by 14, and 12 would get me a push. But at 11.5, 12 would get me a win..

spal2811,

I have the NBA package, but it is downstairs in the living room. My computer is upstairs in my office which is in the back of our house. So mostly I only will watch a PC Play on television, other than that, I like to watch the ticker on CBS Sports.com as it shows scores from all of the games. I don't like to hog the television from everyone else. Up here, I have my Jack and my cigars, I have my desk, a deck to barbeue on and I can see the what my dog is doing.

haha sounds like paradise

only reason i asked is because i have the nba package also and watch the games mostly on my computer via league pass broadband. the quality of each game is very good and it comes free with league pass

[cocknocker]

Thanks nonsense48! I could have saved myself a lot of typing! But yes, Dexter, what nonsense48 is saying is exactly what a key number is. try to stay away from the even numbers, and in football try to stay away from 3, 4, 7, 10, 13, 14. If a line is 3.5, try to get back onto the 3 or 2.5 if you have the favorite. If a line is 3, then buy a hook and try to get your line to 3.5 if you have a dog, because in football 3.5 is essentially a touchdown.

[spal2811]

any halftime ideas for celtics blazers?

im liking celtics -2.5

that should be solid

[Dexter]

boozer out a month

[cocknocker]

spal2811,

My home is nice, and the view is nice, but it's not paradise. I live in a small ocean side town called Vallejo. Our downtown is the size of a phonebooth, and we don't have not one building in downtown over 5 stories tall. It is the only city in California that filed for bankruptcy. Despite the fact that my personal element is nice, there has been a lot of missed opportunites for our city to have expanded when we had chances to vote on making our city much more appealing and profitable. Sometimes I look around at this place and wonder aloud, "Only in America" I am a wagerer by profession. It takes a whole lot of first inning runs to keep the lights on, lol!

[cocknocker]

Now what's wrong with Boozer? Damn he's always hurt. That's why I am kind of hesitant about wagering on the Jazz

[Dexter]

thx fellas..

yeah spal2811 - i have the nba ticket as well...love it.....and mlb extra innings............and the nfl sunday ticket

[nonsense48]

ck, i'm gonna check with u come spring for baseball advice. it's a long lonely spring and summer as i have never made a baseball wager but u make it sound very interesting and rewarding. i look forward to this spring now. keep in touch.

[spal2811]

ck

first thing that comes to mind when i hear vallejo is the late great mac dre. and of course E40. a bunch of celebs came from vho actually, i know cc sabathia is from there and i think maybe jeff gordan

more claim to fame then rochester, ny!

although we do got kodak and xerox

[nonsense48]

TOLEDO OHIO here. we have ah...i'll have to get back to u on that

[cocknocker]

I can't see a thing right now, the fog is rolling into my backyard and it's super thick. But I can see the Duckies are trying to cash that ticket!

On to the NBA,

The rebounds don't look good enough for me to take Boston in the 2nd half. Portland has 8 offensive rebounds and Boston only has 3. Overall Boston only has 18 rebounds and Portland has 21. I think that this may end up being a squeaker, but i still think that the Celtics are 2 baskets better than the Blazers. When Blake is the leading scorer, something is dreadfully wrong. I'm gonna sit that wager out as i alrady have a sizeable wager on the C's for the game.

Quack, quack!

[cocknocker]

nonsense48,

You guys have point shavers! And the Mudhens! And yes, spal2811, yuo are correct. For such a small city we have quite a few celebrities from here. My son plays in the same little league that CC played in, although he could use a little work on his control!

right on both ck. the mudhens i can live with. this point shaving little prick makes it real tough tho. i'm still way ahead of him tho and i think that's why he shaves like he does but i still nick him.

[ManBearPig]

OMG...WTF is SAC doing? 10 pts in the 3rd quarter at home...this is rediculous. They were up huge in the 1st and now this...gotta love the NBA. Even Boston is having a hard time with Portland. I really hope both these teams wake up cuz dats our money main!

[Dexter]

damn - what a run by 9

cmon zach....

[cocknocker]

Wow, I know that that run by Blount is gonna be on Sportscenter later on!

[NBA Hero]

ck,
boozer will require arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. it is scheduled on jan, possibly on the 9th, maybe due to holiday or swelling

dont know why a strained knee will require surg

[cocknocker]

Boston is getting killed on the boards 33-23. I knew I couldn't take them in the second half!

[cocknocker]

Quack, quack!

[maddogmadden86]

ducks cashed the ticket

[nonsense48]

boston is usually money in the 4th q. we shall see.
