Do work!!! 1/6/09

I Love them Knicks baby. I'm going against my own betting strategy w/ the Knicks which is never to bet the Knicks as a favorite. I suck when betting them as favs.....but, versus OK City, I really don't care. It's OK City and I will bet against them 1000% of the time when they are only giving 2.

Usually they are giving like at least 8+, now only 2. I know it's the Knicks, but they have been playing decent as of late including a HUGE WIN OVER BOSTON. They were down the whole game versus Indiana the game before but still managed to take a lead w/ 1.25 to go only to blow that. They were only up by a point and Indiana scored a bucket to retake the lead. Jarad Jack was a beast that game having like 27 points.

OK City, everyone knows about them. They suck and that's really all I have to say. Yes, they have been covering as of late, but big spreads, not 2 points. So, I'm taking Knicks -2.

Bulls -8
Bulls off a rest day and Kings losing at the Nets by 8. Back to Back road games are tough and Bulls fresh and ready to play. Close game I see until the 4th where Bulls pull away and win by 10-14 points.

That's it for now.

Get the Line ASAP, some sites are already up to 2.5, the line will almost def. go up to maybe as much as 4. I got it yesterday at 2 and I think it will only be rising, so get it early.

If I don't like the game or have any feeling on it, I won't research the game, this is one of those games. Obv. you don't bet every game, so I only pick a few and this isn't one of them so sorry, no feelings on this one.

SexyMit · 01-06-09, 10:55 AM

I'm senseing a trap maybe on the knicks. Just beat the #1 team in the NBA and then they go and play the worst team in the NBA and only giving up 2? Just my 2 cents I respect your picks just be careful

SamsNCharge99 · 01-06-09, 12:03 PM

Not a trap at all....Knicks just played at home to a struggling road team in Boston. I know Boston is still Boston, but I wasn't that surprised to see the Knicks win. Now, they are on the road playing a very fresh OK City team.

rooting for knicks.

Glad to see you are getting back on track Sam, take a look at Hornets, great spot for them to stun Lakers and get the win.

Why is everyone hating on the Knicks today as a favorite. People are acting like they are forced to bet this game and take the Knicks.

This years Knicks aren't the same team as usual. They are a lot better than last year. Not yet a top contender, but still they can beat the bad teams. I'm not saying this is a LOCK.

This is just a normal bet for me and it should be everyone else. Don't take them b/c you think you are forced to.

No Guts No Glory on This game....THat's such a bad statement.

No Guts No Glory....That's like a 8 team parlay. This is just 1 bet. If I win, I win, I Lose, I Lose.

Everyone is acting like they are throwing millions on this game b/c they are forced to.

I looked at this game and had no feeling. I could make a good statement for both teams. Leaning Hornets, but not going to bet it.

Thinking Orlando vs. Wizards. Orlando coming off road loss at Toronto and Wizards off big win vs. Cleveland. Wizards play Cavs well, but can they play 2 straight big games in a row. And, can they play 2 big games in a row and keep it close. I don't think so.

Orlando will want a win, and playing at home they have been playing lights out this year. Orlando have already destroyed Wizards 2x this year, and I expect them to do it again tonight.

strictlywinners · 01-06-09, 01:30 PM

Love the way your thinking here, but here is something else to think about. Wizards do play Cavs well and just got a win, not that it matters but it should make them feel good about themselves giving them false confidence. Orlando has been playing poor as of late, and are facing their first real losing streak of the year. There is some pressure on them to right the ship, pressure that they haven't had all year. False confidence for one team mixed with pressure for another = 1 of 2 things. THe team with the false confidence comes out playing loose and playing way beyond their ability and increasing pressure on the other team, or two they come out and try to do things they can't do, and play terribly and get blown out by the team that is playing for something. I hope the 2nd scenario is the way it goes, but I can't decide so it is leave alone for me.

SportsLockPicks · 01-06-09, 01:33 PM

sam, make a play on the GMAC bowl so we can fade you... fading you on the bowls is 21-10...not bad

Orlando Playing poor as of late??

8-2 in their last 10 Losing to Detroit and Toronto both road losses by 6. Their scedule may be weak lately, but they are usually beating their opponents like they are suppose to be. I see them dominating tonight,

The only reason they lost to Toronto is b/c Howard was in foul trouble early. In the 1st 3 minutes, Howard had all 9 points and 2 fouls, they had to take him out of the game for the rest of the quarter and Toronto took advantage.

If Howard Stays out of foul trouble, GAME OVER

strictlywinners · 01-06-09, 01:35 PM

SPortslock, you got anything for me yet in that game, I took Tulsa already but I don't know how confident I am.

No Chance of me betting this game. I like Ball St. So bet Tulsa.

I love Florida on Thursday. So most Likely, OK is the play. I do win occasionally and I do believe Florida will win this game. I got them early at -3, the line is already up to -4.

Yes poor as of late, you can't look at last 10, last 5 is farthest you can go back, how you were playing 8 games ago 2 weeks early has no bearing on how you play in the present.

Howard could find himself in foul trouble again tonight, Jamison is crafety and long, he could draw a couple and the slashing Caron Butler is always good for that too.

I'm not saying your pick isn't good I was just telling you why it is a leave alone for me.

hey johhny changed his picks. i did that few games back and it didnt count..

SamsNCharge99 · 01-06-09, 09:57 PM

where did I ever change my picks, even if I did, I did it before the 1st game of the night. Look back at the posts. I first have a post where I show my official plays, then I add another post w/ all of our picks.

alittlemoresound · 01-06-09, 10:06 PM

my bad sam, not you johnny baseball changed his laker pick

SamsNCharge99 · 01-06-09, 10:07 PM

the only reason why it's no big deal, is b/c he changed his pick 1 minute later. He probably forgot to add Lakers game Over and just wrote Lakers.
