Huge Early Money (Sharps) Plays

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:31 PM

Early Official Play:

NBA
Oklahoma City +9 (buy hook)

More to come later had to get on this before it dropped down more throughtout the day. I understand the line slowly dropping has something to do with Amare but I liked the early action on the Thunder last night and it was a lean on my post last night.

Current Record:

NBA...5-3-1
CBB...22-5

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:35 PM

Already +7 on most books

cacophony · 02-20-09, 12:37 PM

I'm so pissed that my book removed the play entirely. I was about to confirm the bet. Seems like the lock of the night for sure

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:40 PM

It was a play last night at +10...Definately a play w/out Amare.....it should be +5 or lower w/out him

Would you still take it at +5? Buy points? Avoid?

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:43 PM

Looks like its holding steady at +7.5...if thats where you get it buy hook to key number of +8

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:44 PM

Let me know what you get it at b4 you play it cac

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:44 PM

It wont be at 5 right now and prob wont drop that far..that was just my opinion. I see it holding @7.5

Hey I'm new to sports betting.. just started yesterday and my record is 11-2 (last night). I know it was just luck picking what looked good though, so now I have come to consult forums.

I see that the OKC is at +7.5 for my book. What do you mean when you say 'if thats where you get it [b]buy hook to key number of +8[b]'?

Thanks schaap, looks like a lot of people are happy with your help on this thread.

Still waiting for my book to put the game back up...

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:58 PM

If its 7.5 buy hook (.5) and get it at +8!

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 12:59 PM

I really dont like playing teams that have a key player out...ie Ginobli last night but i liked this game last night before news of the injury and i still like it.

melincrea · 02-20-09, 01:00 PM

Haha, like I said, I'm new to sports bets.. but I think I found what it is on my site.

"BUY POINTS" .. unfortunately, the drop down list only consists of "Buy no points"... rofl

melincrea · 02-20-09, 01:08 PM

So I have concluded that I can't buy hook/point(s). Should I just do the spread for +7.5 on OKC?

cacophony · 02-20-09, 01:13 PM

Grabbed it at +8, bought the half point.

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:14 PM

You cant buy points mel?

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:15 PM

I would Mel but for the purposes of the thread the booked play is OKCTY +9. I bought the hook when the line was +8.5 last night

ManBearPig · 02-20-09, 01:16 PM

Crap I could've saved u guys the trouble...I actually found out last night about this but didn't post here because I didn't want to look like a dumbass when it turned out to be untrue. I ended up getting the game at +10 w 1pt buy just wish I would've put more on it. Sorry I didn't hook it up.

melincrea · 02-20-09, 01:16 PM

Sadly I can't... On the wagering menu, there is an option to 'Buy Points'.. Once I go there and choose a game, they don't have any options of buying points. It gives me a drop down list with one choice; "buy no points"..

esz04 · 02-20-09, 01:17 PM

My concern is that the original line movement was based on some sharps having this information last night.

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:18 PM

lol...i would still play it at 7.5....but sure would be better to get to key number of +8

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:18 PM

You might be right esz im gonna follow up on it and for the purposes of the thread it would be considered a PLAY thats why i booked it last night late

melincrea · 02-20-09, 01:21 PM

Can anyone recommend a sports bet site to me? My book didn't even have anything up at 2am last night...seems like they put everything up in the morning. I'd like to have that advantage of good bets etc @ midnight for the next day

SlowRoll · 02-20-09, 01:22 PM

What's up Mr. Schaapattack, Gonna grab the OKC line at 7.5 and buy a hook. What's your opinion on the Columbia game though?

SlowRoll · 02-20-09, 01:23 PM

What country are you in Melincrea?

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:27 PM

Slowroll im going through the college as we speak trying to get the plays out a little earlier than usual...

NickBaragona · 02-20-09, 01:29 PM

Schaap, I can get OKC at +7.5 for -105, or +8 for -120. Which would you do?

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:31 PM

+8 (-120) you want it at the key number of 8 in my opinion.
But again for this thread it is +9

SlowRoll · 02-20-09, 01:31 PM

OKC is a

4 me at +8. Take your time Schaap, I personally really like Columbia at +4.

melincrea · 02-20-09, 01:33 PM

I'm in Canada.

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:33 PM

I also liked the early movement last night on the game also slowroll (Columbia)

melincrea · 02-20-09, 01:35 PM

Damnit. My college basketball Columbia spread is at +3.5 -110

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:36 PM

As far as i can find i really dont think the news about Amare came out until around 9-930 EST this morning. The early movement last night had nothing to do with Amare in my opinion

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:37 PM

dont panic mel..lol

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 01:38 PM

As of now Columbia is a no play for me.
