Dexter, that'sthe thing that is giving the role players on the Rockets fits. Artest is playing very other day as well as McGrady a la Shaq. And they seem to play better when Artest is in and McGrady is out, homes.

oh i know - i watched a lot of rocket games lately, and they are tons better with my sju alum in the lineup - i'm curious if artest is out, i may drop a few extra on okl...tmac is trash right now..

Luv2Poker,

No but with the travel issues, they may be sluggish on the 2nd half. The travel issue makes the game a little more, shall we say, even. I am still on Miami, and I had already played them at 3.5, so given the fact that I am working with a person with limited funds, I wouldn't recommend that play with the line movement involved. Plus I am trying to get that gentleman into the mix early, so that he would have some working capitol for later on this evening for the Lakers 2nd half...One thing I do know, the Heat will still have to win the game by 2 baskets. The linemaker will not take the line below 2.5. If he does I will pound that game EVEN harder making an additional play at Miami-1.5 by buying a point. They will win this gam, it's just a matter of by how much. The Kings are not in their league, and is being made a home dog accordingly. the Kings are just out of gas right now after the long road trip.They covered 3 out of their last 4, so that takes quite a bit of energy.

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 07:13 PM

Dexter,

Find comfort in the fact that if both of them play there will be even more minute mixing again as usual. The inconsistency is what is causing the Rockets to play poorly against the spread and also have locker room problems.

CK Okla Thunder pick is solid tonight. Artest is out tonight, also Barry who gives McGrady some relief is out tonight attending family matter. McGrady is back, but that is not a good thing, as his effort is poor, and certain members of the team are having issue with him. I see a let down after the Celtic win, which by the way McGrady didn't play in, but Artest did. So gimpy no effort McGrady on floor, let down situation, and CK on Ok City sounds like a solid play. Good Luck all!

mmaddness - pls post a link next time you have injury news. sounds like artest is playing - have to realize that people bet a lot of money in these threads, and thats key information you were sounding so definitive on. thx.

i hear you CK - did you end up on niagra?

Netprofit · 01-09-09, 07:34 PM

"Beat the Champs" hex is broken tonight - Houston covers and will have a strong ATS run for a couple of weeks.

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 07:42 PM

Dexter,

I took Niagra last night at 11.5 for a small play

nick2060 · 01-09-09, 07:43 PM

wow sorry if this comes off as negative but can anyone smell their hawks money burning already? really bugs me when a team gives such a little effort on the defensive end

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 07:48 PM

I just got the call a few seconds ago. We will have another PC Play on Sunday in NBA action

nick2060 · 01-09-09, 07:49 PM

lol yeaaa way to go ck, help me make back this atlanta money

schaapattack · 01-09-09, 07:51 PM

ty ck

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 08:02 PM

We have a rarity of a situation coming up on Sunday, and it is 52-13 ats since 1998. Oh man, I might stop wagering until then for this one. I do know that I will be going light until that play presents its'self now. i love those big paydays more than the zillion games of action of days like tonight.

nick2060 · 01-09-09, 08:03 PM

you sure know how to build the suspense my friend

Dexter · 01-09-09, 08:03 PM

i dont play second halves, but those that do should not forget how poor orlando was offensively in the second half of the hornets blowout 12/25. (27pts)

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 08:06 PM

nick2060

I can't see how you don't see that taking Atlanta in the 2nd half will cash your ticket... I sure as hll am taking them. They may only have to lose by 20 to get your money back and then some

Tell your friend to put up a $20.00 on Atlanta 2nd half no matter what the spread is.

BigMoneyMan · 01-09-09, 08:14 PM

OK Atlanta is getting buried but Orlando was shooting 90% going into the second period. I know Orlando and at home they always come out flat in the third so Atlanta second half probably is a play. I took New Orleans because they beat them on average by 20+ at home and who is going to play for the clips? They are on a BTB and averaging 42 minutes a game. please. The other games I like so far are Washington and in college hoops San Fransisco. GAL

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 08:20 PM

Okay a 32 point loss means you get your money with Atlanta homies. I know that i am taking this one to the bank with a medium sized wager, which is a rarity with me.

Atlanta-4.5 2nd half

woodyman · 01-09-09, 08:25 PM

agreed!

texhooper · 01-09-09, 08:27 PM

doubled up on atl second half to come out a winner on the game.

we're getting this one.

Smacksmiter · 01-09-09, 08:31 PM

Im on it ... 2nd half... Atlanta -4 for $500! Lets do it!

jaymac82980 · 01-09-09, 08:39 PM

CK, I'm in the negative for the week with my local, but I'm looking to make it back before a pay out on Monday. My picks tonight seem risky, but I am confident. I took...

Orlando 1st half over 93.5
Celts/Houston Tease (+7.5/+10.5 respectively)
Niagra/Miami Tease (-9.5/pick respectively)
Niagra -13.5
Boston 1st half over 92.5

Now I am looking at some late night hail mary games....

What do you (or any one else) think about the over on the lakers game??? I really like this one. I know it's not "Over Day", but how can this one not go over 224.5???

Help me out here guys, tonight needs to be a good night for me, because I'm stuck with the gf all day tomorrow, and she hates my gambling...even though it has bought her some nice things!

williebob777 · 01-09-09, 08:39 PM

Hey CK
You now me I just sit back and read your posts and try to learn as much as I can.
I think I finally found something interesting and helpful That I can share with you and the rest of the board.

Toronto has been winning the first quarter 17 out of the last 20 games.

Is there anyway this will continue and can we make money off of this?

Dexter · 01-09-09, 08:41 PM

oh, for the record. panthers - HUGE

darkenergy · 01-09-09, 08:41 PM

I bet on local guy entire game for 3k, doesn't look too good. He has no second half, so I went 1k through betus on second half. Let hope this not poke a big hole in my account. GLTA

woodyman · 01-09-09, 08:42 PM

wow hawks cant even score...

Broncos9798 · 01-09-09, 08:44 PM

CK,

I agree with the theory on taking Atlanta whatever the spread second half but ow my lord they are taking a beating.

jaymac82980 · 01-09-09, 08:44 PM

dex, you like carolina -10 huge??? I was thinking the same, especially since I heard boldin may be out. I think car is better, but 10 is a lot to lay on playoffs. I figured the over would be better.....but regarding tonight, what do you think about the lakers over? You seem to know your #$%@ pretty well too (except for the celts game- haha - sorry i'm from boston)

nick2060 · 01-09-09, 08:46 PM

oh my god this night seriously cannot be going any worse

Dexter · 01-09-09, 08:49 PM

jaymac - be careful - the last 3 meetings between the lakers/pacers in staples have gone under the total. and never was the total this high. ford is doubtful,and he helps the pacers play at that crazy pace. public % is on the under at about 70% right now according to one book. i would only play that over if you see some late upwards action back to 225/226...

i'm on the cavs - see page 1...game is far from over. the celts will make a run and prob even take the lead.

i dont like to go against cocknocker - his thread gets the most hits for a reason. but if its not heavy or from the circle, i'm cool with a normal size wager of my own opinion. thats why i NEVER look at the big board until my analysis is complete. i love to find strong agreements (ie, cavs(pc) gators last night etc)

joanapoker · 01-09-09, 08:54 PM

King james is the man! Cavs play well overall!

I'm also on the Cavs Dex! I guess will cash this one.....well as far as the other games....damn I'm seeing this a little shaky.....I gues I'm gonna miss the Over at Philly and the +6.5

jaymac82980 · 01-09-09, 08:55 PM

Yeah, I know youre on the cavs, thats why i said what i said. I feel that the celts will pick up a lead - or at least some points in the 3rd as usual.

cocknocker · 01-09-09, 08:56 PM

Okay, i am beginning to think that Atlanta is toast tonight, lol!
