    Any possible way Orlando could lose tonight?
    Yesterday when i took a look at the games for today, i saw the orlando/chicago game, and felt preety confident that orlando could come out with the win.

    This morning, i don't feel the same.

    Why?? well, like alot of other ppl on this board, i've been hit with a hard loosing streak. Yesterday, San antonio was supposed to get me out of it. But that didn't happen, and then i had confidence that the celtics would be able to beat the blazers, esspecialy without Brandon Roy in the picture. Yet those 2 backfired on me.

    And i've been only playing the ML too, No spread to worry about.

    Now folks, i'm staring at the list of games for today. But for some reason i feel that if i wager on it, then somehow i'll jynx it....which totally goes against the "No matter what, you have no control over the outcome of the game" concept that i so constantly remind myself of.

    Out of all the games listed, i feel this one is the best pick, and could be the one to get me out of my current slump. I'd go with the Denver game, but it doesn't look like their gonna be doin any odds for it today.

    So with Orlando being healthy, and the bulls missing a few key components.....do you see any possible way they could lose this? sure its basketball, sure its gambling, and sure anything can happen. But i can't see how they would lose this one?!

    Don't make these "they can't lose" threads, all they are are jinxes

    Magic have a very good chance to knock off the Bulls, but the Bulls have a great home record, BUT they've also beat mostly cupcakes to get that record. Took Magic -5.5 (bought the 1/2 pt)

      The Bulls play well at home...I can see D-Rose taking over and pulling off the upset

          gordon is still the main man for chi, rose should understand he have to earn the respects of nba fans.
          when they won over NJ, gordon is the one who is taking the shot in the 4th, rose had a great game with season best in assist.
          like in Orl, they play team ball. evryone gets their share thats why they are getting the desired result.

          no guarantee... no guts, no glory...........all guts, all glory!!!!!!!!

                The best way to look at ML bets is the odds that you are given as compared to what you can estimate is the likely ratio of losses to wins for that particular matchup. So, Orlando is about -240 depending on your book. As long as Orlando wins this match 2.5 more often then losing (or 5 out of 7 games if you prefer round numbers) then it can be considered a bet with a positive expected value. Check the stats, and if you think Orlando is that big of a favorite then go for it.
