Leans for Thursday 1/15/09

[ploben]

Man its almost 4 and I can only find 1 game to play. Watching everything and all the games I am looking at seem 50/50. I think I may just jump with the UNC blowout and Northwestern.

locked in Play Bruins/Isles O/5.5

Line just jumped to O/U 6. But even 5.5, that means BOS will have to score 5 goals because they will be the only team on the ice tonight scoring

[cocknocker]

Ay, maddog,

My boy says he wants to know about some "cannon" stocks you know things that will blow up from the IPO stage, as well as stock in "safes", like the kind you keep in your home with a combination, etc.

We got the idea from watching the Learning Channel. Some place a year or so ago had a tornado pass through, and while the news people were interviewing victims, some dude comes rolling up behind her and walks up to a safe that he had concreted to the ground, opens it up and stated pulling out HELLA CASH and other goodies. We got to thinking maybe people may not trust banks anymore because of tax garnishments, lack of trust in banks etc and they are keeping their money at home like players do. What's funny is that this guy wasn't even the subject of the interview. We just kind of rewound the dvr and saw it a couple of times laughing out loud.

NO +6.5
Mil -2.5

[Mr Handicapable]

I played an online poker tourn. last night and lasted 4 hours just to bubble out (1 away from the paid finishing positions) w/ace/queen allin vs ace/six while also marking time following Golden State/Sactown....having GS ML on the a$$ end of several parlays & they can't hold on to a 5 pt lead w/30 seconds left in the 2nd OT
Woke up to -6 below...can 2010 hurry up and get here??

[ZHUMPY]

Purdue -2
Blazers -1

1st half lines... might make this a little Parlay.. hmmm

[africanroller]

Well the Bruins scored 7 their last time out and that wasnt against the 4th string goalie.

True. Was just making sort of a joke, didn't mean any harm by it.

In all fairness to Danis, he is a 3rd stringer

[africanroller]

Guys pay attention to the Rider game. Opened -4 and has dropped to -3 with 74% on them.

[ZHUMPY]

Anyone have a hockey parlay i can ride tonight?

[MrSink]

My picks for today
por -2
chi +9
pho -2
what about these games?

[KillaBeesSwarmin]

keep in mind tonight, that vince carter is still nursing that sore hip and sprained his ankle last night. He played on the ankle and finished with 26 minutes and 4 points.

also cbs quoted roy today as saying this with blake being out:

""I'll definitely help and have the ball a lot more now with Blake being out," Roy said. "I have to be more aggressive earlier in the game to get us going."

so i also laid a smalle bet on portland -1 in the first half.

[IrwinFletcher]

CK, JohnMorro.. Just saw that Bogut will be out of the line up tomorrow in SAC due to back issues.. whatcha think?

[africanroller]

I never play parlasy but I just threw $10 on one for fun. Boston,Carolina,Van,SJ,Detroit

[tblueeyes]

Dito!!!

I noticed that as well...not sure what it means though but something is going on. I really liked this play but the RLM scares me a little bit. There are many other games to choose from so it's not all bad.

i took bruins and the canadiens in a money line parlay today, does that look good to you.

[JohnMorr08]

Irwin - Just a couple of quick thoughts on Bogut. A rule of thumb I use when evaluating injuries is the 15 pt rule. If a starter has a sudden injury and they average 15 or more... I may pass on that game/series. Bogut only averages 11 or so (he's missed plenty of time this year).

My eyes lit up when I saw -2.5 as the opening number. It almost seems as though Vegas has already adjusted the line for him being out. I capped this game at Milwaukee -9... without Bogut (vs. an exhausted Kings squad) I'd reduce it to 'maybe' 7 or 8. I see it as a wash.

I'd like to see the ML. If it's out soon I'll jump on that. Otherwise -2 (hook buy) is plenty fine with me.

[maddogmadden86]

CK i totally agree with you on that fact banks are in for some hurting the next couple months, me myself i deal with strictly cash and my own investments i dont use credit cards or banks, i have a safe at my house to hold the true loot because the way i think of it why give the bank my money to hold so they can make 5 folds my money off my own money? i tried looking into some companies that make safes but i never got the time to do it justice since you are thinking the same thing i will get back to you on that one, as far as cannon stocks go we just initiated a investment banking unit to our firm so we should be getting some juicy ones soon i will keep you posted

[tblueeyes]

CK, I work at a bank as a loan officer and totally agree that it is not the safest place to store your money at this time!

Thanks John..

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, aye aye aye! I have a associate/friend that's from Australia.. He's an Aborigne (did i spell that right?) Whenever he comes around he is the life of the party. Man that dude can slam some shots. And he's killing the ladies because he is as dark as I am with bright blue eyes. He has some pictires of some gorgeous women from out there, some of them look almost Pinoy. The he has his homies back home and some of them have tattoos on their faces, which is a scary thought in its'self. He said that they are a rough crew and live in remote areas. One thing that I remember was one tme he was over for one of our bar-b-ques, and we had some Heinekens and no bottle opener. Dude took my spatula and opened up the bottles like it was the thing to do. I have never seen that before or since. I have never been to Australia, i mught have to make that one of my destinations before i craok, with the other one being going to Egypt and see the Nile and the Valley of Kings. For some odd reason, I want a picture of me standing with the Sphinx behind me holding my nuts, lol! And then I want to blow it up and put it in our bedroom!

hehehe im from OZ and can picture your mate. the opening of the beer thing is normal here... if cant find that stupid can opener.
You must vistit OZ, wonderful place, nice people, relaxed and always have a bottomless beer... and BBQ of course!

[maddogmadden86]

CK take a look into ASEI as well my good man

[africanroller]

Eastern Illinios started out -1 and now Eastern Kentucky is -1.5. I dont know much about these teams but thats pretty big movement.

I am really beginning to like Rider at -3

[Sloanie29]

God bless all the people involved in the plane crash in the Hudson River in NY/NJ!!! Unbelievable! I live on the water in NJ and can see it from my balcony. Thank God there were no casualties!!!!

[joanapoker]

it was a freaking miracle sloanie!!

congrats to the pilot

[CTS5]

CK, you said there's only 57% of bettors on phoenix, which is true but there is almost 100% of bettors taking the suns moneyline.

[maddogmadden86]

hey sloanie i can see that shit from my beach, were in new jersey you from?

[maddogmadden86]

also does anyone know how i can get a cheap hotel in AC for saturday anyone have any last min cheap deals i can check out or anything

[KillaBeesSwarmin]

maddog good luck on a saturday to get cheap. staying in one of the hotels that arent attached to a casino is prob your best bet for cheap.

or just show up without a reservation and haggle

[Sloanie29]

best of luck man, I got boston, montreal, detroit, and san jose in a 4 teamer

[africanroller]

Ok I have been studying this Rider game all day and RLM or not Rider is the play.

Right when I posted this and went to lock the game in it drops a full point to -2 now. Are the books just trying to get money on Canisius because they dont line up anywhere except rebounds.

[maddogmadden86]

HO-BO-KEn! i love that place hot chicks and the liquor flows like water i myself live on the jersey shore right near sandyhook, long branch/asbury park area

[Killer Chihuahua]

OK
the Clevland line just dropped down a liitle more to -7.5. I think that the linemaker is a really smart dude. What is the only way to get more money at this point on Chicago. To drop this line even lower to sway RLM players to put their hard earned money on Chicago. By this time clevland players are fully vested not thinking this line would drop since it was already too low. I think the linemaker is using reverse, reverse line movement to get in my head. It is working!! Still gonna drop a grand on clevland a show him im not buying any TOMFOOLERY!
