Leans for 1/17/09 Hockeytown11 vs. CK Day 1

joanapoker · 01-17-09, 01:32 PM

I know there's a perfect RLM at PHI/NY but who can bet against these 76ers now?? And isn't 210 a little too high??

Dana4U · 01-17-09, 01:35 PM

ML Bets

Do you think either of these teams can get the job done without the points? Maybe a ML parlay??

Dana4u,

I am taking the Cardinals and Ravens. I am riding the Ravens much the same way that I rode the Giants most of this year, and they have been cashing a lot of tickets for me on this hot streak. So I am going to go down in flames right along with them. As far as the Cardinals are concerned, I always play home dogs that play on a different surface than the favored team coming in. I think that this game will be decided by a field goal and no more than that.

Cardinals+4
Ravens+6

fusion,

The Bucks are playing a back end game, and they went over 100 points last night and went way over the total. My gut feeling on that game is to ride with the under as the total looks suspiciously low to me. The Clips lack players that can create their own shot off the dribble, but they are in a seemingly vulerable position, which makes them a dangerous team. A man laying down in the field is more dangerous than 10 soldiers running in your direction....

ok, finally done with my work here. here are my picks for the day.

Nets +6.5 (i know)
Miami +135
Utah +175 (just went OTB on my book after i locked in)
Spurs/Bulls under 195.5

africanroller · 01-17-09, 01:53 PM

Locked in Oklahoma ST +5.5

If you go back and look at Northeastern they opened at +5

The only one that I would play on a moneyline is the Ravens. I actually think that the Eagles will win but only by a field goal. The Cardinals are super hot though, and have the home field advantage working for them though. I have been riding the Ravens on the moneyline however, and they were my pick to win it all....

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:13 PM

Wow, the Celtics are creaming the Nets. Somebody call the police!

JohnMorr08 · 01-17-09, 02:14 PM

I've locked in Kansas -12 and Penn State -5. Looking for a good dog to lay with. Possibly BC at V Tech...

2qwik · 01-17-09, 02:15 PM

Nets -2 2nd half a good play ? They cant keep that type of lead on Net's homecourt I believe

africanroller · 01-17-09, 02:20 PM

John,Boston College is definately a play along with Airforce who has serious RLM.

Smacksmiter · 01-17-09, 02:20 PM

Celtics shooting 64% from the field and 54% from 3 point land..no way they keep that up...hit the Nets HARD 2nd half... I am!

Cards play on grass, no? That is not turf out in Phoenix. But I do like your point, as the Eagles bread and butter is to grind it out in tough conditions outside, and this weekend will be a fast track with the roof closed. Adv-cards.

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:24 PM

Duke gets ALL of the calls at home. They are the Celtics of NCAA basketball

johnnyP · 01-17-09, 02:25 PM

NCAA-B 1st Half = no moneyline

C.K.

The following NCAA-B-ball teams DO NOT have first half moneylines on BetUS.

San Francisco +14½ -105
Gonzaga -14½ -115

Pepperdine +13 -110
Saint Marys CA -13 -110

Loyola Marymount +13 -110
San Diego -13 -110

Would you take the favorites in each of these?

Thanks and Good Luck today!

Alright, Good Luck to you Smacksmiter! I just doubled what I put in after you gave me a boost of confidence. No worries, if it somehow loses I will not blame you

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:27 PM

flav-o-ice,

The Eagles play on field turf, and the Cardinals play on natural grass. I always fade teams that are road favorites that play on a different surface than the the home dog. It's just a style of mine, i guess.

solobass · 01-17-09, 02:27 PM

so apparently i am playing the village idiot today with my nets pick!

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:29 PM

johnnyP,

Thanks for the heads up! I am throwing some greens on each and every one of those with secret plays! I haven't lost one of those types of bets on college basketball yet this year. It is my favorite situational wager within college basketball

You can probably cover that loss if you put in amount that would save you from taking loss if you take nets -2.5. Merely a suggestion

africanroller · 01-17-09, 02:30 PM

Jaymac I think you got on the wrong side of that Northeastern trap. Sorry Bro

fusion · 01-17-09, 02:30 PM

hey ck what do you think of nets 2nd half bet -2

What do you speak of CK ? "Secret play" Just based off no 1st half ML ?

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:33 PM

We have a push for hockeytown11 in his first game to run his record to 0-0-1

NC State(-5) 76 Georgia Tech 71

I feel like an idiot. I thought philly played on the real stuff. Like the call though as I am rolling home dog plus the points. NFL roadies playing 3rd playoff game on the road are 15-28-1 ats.

WVU 1h already cashed today and mizz 1h looks good. Both fit the trend. Thanks for point it out ck. In addition to those u listed above others that fit are-utah, Wisc-gb,w.kent., unc,

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:37 PM

2qwik,

Yeah, I play all favorites for the 1st half that do not have a first half moneyline. These types of plays hit at an astounding clip in both college football and basketball. One that sticks out in my hed was the 1st half of Oklahoma against Washington in college football. Oklahoma was favored by 16.5 in th e1st half and absolutely demolished the Huskies in the first half. As far as college basketabll is concerned, i have made 6 plays like that and haven't had one lose yet.

nonsense48 · 01-17-09, 02:40 PM

well gang, the j-play northeastern-3 was a flop. sure glad i didn't tail him.

africanroller · 01-17-09, 02:40 PM

CK, Arizona St and Clemosn looking good today also

Smacksmiter · 01-17-09, 02:43 PM

Any opinions on Pittsburgh at Louisville anyone?

cocknocker · 01-17-09, 02:44 PM

I have played all of the games that i am gonna lay today after these 1st half thingies

CK, Just a heads up Kansas looks OK, however i'm showing multiple ML's for Penn St. as well as B.C> PEACE

djpremier36 · 01-17-09, 02:50 PM

CK,

Any chance you could go with the "Leans for ..." heading again? IMO you should have your battle as a side note.

I really detest seeing buddy's name next to yours. It's like comparing Wilt to Bill Walton.

Jay Play? What the heck is that?....this is the house that CK built...not some Johnny come lately

Dfjay9 · 01-17-09, 02:54 PM

NC STATE HIT FOR ME! Wowww I had em at -4.
What a game.

Syracuse also hit, Celtics on the way, Duke is blowing it, Butler is sucking it big time. Even with those 2, good day so far.

I'm leaning Wake later and maybe Kansas then I'll stick to NBA probably after that. Also have leans on Idaho and Air Force which start at 3. GL

ZHUMPY · 01-17-09, 03:08 PM

Hello all, tough day yesterday. Lets get the Books tnight!

I like...

Spurs -3
Bobcats ML

LMU and Pepperdine are arguably two of the worst teams in the nation. Thanks for the heads up on these!
