everybody bet the lakers,,they cover when you least expect them to on days when all the underdogs are hitting.. this is a good spot for them... the game against orlando was their 1st game back after a road trip.. kobe will be on tonight.. they've had time to rest and make some adjustments.. lakers by 10

Hey guise,
I've been lurking here since the beginning of this year, and I have been reading every CK thread every day. There is some real gem-making going on here. I just wanted to introduce myself in the hopes that I can learn something from you all. I know least about the NBA; my biggest sport is college football. And since the NBA offers way more betting opportunities, I hope you all welcome me into your basketball picks discussion!
I have one question for you all: do any of you live in Vegas or another gambling city where you make a majority of you wagers at sports books?
I am asking because I go to Vegas fairly often, but I have never bet at sports books there. Which ones would you guys recommend? THanks

Shorthanded Hawks win but do not cover for me, but the Wolves come through and I squeaked out the Wizards/Warriors over by 1/2 of a point. 2-1 thusfar with the Cavs and Celtics to come.
Danrman, my man, I totally respect your input/insight since you have made some stellar picks in the past few weeks since I have been here, BUT both the Cavs and Lakers are coming off 2 days rest. Yes, Kobe will probably be on, but please tell me who on the Lakers team can guard Lebron, with fresh legs, 1 on 1? The answer, my friend is nobody. Should be a close game with possible a middle and a win for everybody. I have the Cavs at +4.5. It got down to 2.5 or 3 earlier today I think so if you got it at that, maybe the Lakers will win by 4 and we both win. I don't think there is a team in the NBA that should be giving Lebron and the Cavs, with or without Delonte, 0.5 points much less 4.5. Just had to point that out. Good luck to you sir in all your endeavors.

RLM on the game for those that are interested in that theory. If the Lakers lose here, then that'll be three in a row and CK knows what to do when that happens.

Good information there djpremier...I am taking a teaser myself...
3 Team 8pt BK Special Teaser ( any tie is a loss )
Boston has found their swagger, Indiana can shoot themselves into covering with that many points...and as we all know, the Lakers are terrible at covering spreads so a double digit cover against Cleveland has about a 10 to 20% chance of happening in my estimation...
As you can see, any tie is a loss here, so you need to select lines that make sure you do not end up with a tie... if possible.
$600 to win $500...
Bumping this up in case anyone wants to hit the last parts of it with me... good luck!
Also, rolling with a little on Carolina and the over in hockey per hockeytown's recommendation..

the easy trend is to bet the celtics who have been covering as of late and bet against the lakes who got smoked on national tv by orlando... conventional wisdom is the cavs. have beaten the lakes 5 straight times and that cleve. is at least as good as orlando and the lakes got no defense so take the points and lebron.. it aint gonna happen.. the celtics wont cover and the lakers will.. tis my opinion.. the other way is tooooooo easy and dont think im a blind lakers fan cause i'll bet against them in a heartbeat.. also i wouldnt be surprised if the lakes are down at halftime.. good luck to whom ever you choose

Are you referring to the Cavs-Lakers game? 61% of the public is on the Cavs' spread, but the line has improved for Cavs backers: going from +4 to +5

2 NHL plays tonight
1. Dallas -110
Dallas 7-0 last 7 meetings in Tampa
Dallas 10-3 last 13 meetings
Road team 6-0 in last 6 meetings
2. Buffalo -even
Both teams are hot right now but I just see Buffalo with more talent.

CK, How do you feel about taking a little action on UAB tonight? Big favorite and seems like easy money first half and game?
I hate tying up that much cash in a single bet but its such a strong play. I know it breaks the rules of money management but how often do we find really solid odds if you know what i mean.
