Hey guys...what site do you watch your live games on? I watch mine at Joko.tv. I love this site because they have every sports game imaginable for free. The bad thing is that like every 2minutes or so, I get an ad and it's annoying as hell. While trying to click out, it's impossible to click out without clicking on the ad.

So any suggestions?

[Ralphalph]

So...looks like Clippers are winning this game outright and the Under is beautiful at 103...i'm going for the under. GL!

Thanks Vasilli

Been gone all night. Come back to see that this heat under could be close. I still like it though. I see me and Ralph have gone opposite ways on the Denver game. GL

[Ralphalph]

lol...yeah, i'm very confident this Atlanta and Denver game will go over. Maybe you should hedge the bet at halftime? And of course it looks like the Under for the Heat game is locked. I don't say this very often, but I think Heat got cheated first half, and then Clippers got cheated second half...Refs did a bad job this game I thought.

[mattyg93]

I probably should hedge this with the hedge this with the amount of shots in the first half but I am going to ride it out.

[Ralphalph]

I love the over for the Lakers and Houston...Lakers brought their A game today. I put $210 on the over at 218.5 on live betting.

[mattyg93]

I am cutting myself off from live betting. Pretty much the only reason I'm loosing.

Overall Record: 24-21
ytd: +1.03u

Need to get back on track. Not worried. Done live betting though.

[Ralphalph]

Probably a good idea to stay away from live betting. I win some and lose some. I think overall, it hasn't been very useful to me. Here's a good experiment...Know your first inclination for a pick, and then bet the opposite! lol I've always thought of doing that.

My day wasn't so bad. I won $500. I should've gotten another $500 but stupid dwight missed his free throws for my 18pts and I missed that live bet for Houston/Laker game over 218.5.

Tomorrow's picks are plentiful and easy I think. Not only NBA, but NCAAM begins tomorrow! I looked over the NCAA games, but I didn't see anything very easy or that I liked. I might have to rely on others thoughts and scouting report for NCAA for the first quarter of the season.

Based on my projections for tomorrow. The picks in bold are highly considerable.

Bobcats +2.5...Bobcats are at home playing the lifeless Knicks and missing huge stars like Chandler (the heart of the team and their defensive man of the year in 2011 season) and J.R Smith (the second most prolific scorer on the knicks 6th man award of 2012 season)...Knicks' don't stand a chance. I don't sense revenge ball here, although, not sure why Felton is apologizing to Knicks' fans like things are gonna get better any time soon. Bargnani and Kenyon are stepping up the plate, but I don't think that's enough. Melo isn't a leader this season thus far...I dont expect him to come out to be anytime soon. I also hear that Al Jefferson may be in the lineup tonight for the Bobcats. I've also read somewhere that Bobcats are 9 - 0 in the their last 9 home games? Not sure if that's true, but you get the point. I think Bobcats recognize their a bunch of underrated group of guys willing to put in that grit to win games. I also like Bobcats and Knicks Over 191.5...Since knicks don't play defense, then this could be a high scoring game. I honestly think Knicks' defense is their offense. They think they can win games by shooting the 3 and purely out scoring their opponents. Needless to say it's an ineffective strategy.

I like Toronto +9....This one needs more thought, but my first reaction was Toronto has too many points to play with here. I think Toronto is due for something substantive. Not saying their gonna win, but something will emerge tomorrow. Needs more research and thought...

Orlando -6.5...wow, -6.5 is a steal here. Based on the (insert 3 superlatives here) atrocious offensive effort on the part of Boston, and the very awesome defensive effort on the part of Orlando. For me, this is another max bet before the line moves. I think Orlando wins tomorrow by at least 20pts. This is the pick of the day for me. I might get another taste tomorrow for total of $300 or $400 on this one.

Brooklyn and Wizards Over 197...This is sounds really good. I really thought this is too low for these teams. Brooklyn can be a prolific scoring team when they want to be. Wizards are at home and all fired from the last win. I expect this to be a shoot out by Brooklyn coupled with some fast paced offensive by the Wizards.

Thunder -3...This sounds really weird to say, but I think the Thunder are back. Not quite in full-form but have the major chess pieces to win a real match. It looks like Westbrook hasn't missed a whole lot off his game. If this number goes any higher, it doesn't interest me very much. I like it at -3.

Sacramento +7.5 Gosh, I keep talking about this team. I believe their turned over a new leaf...but that old face keeps showing up. Any day now and their gonna be turning some heads and possibly slip into the playoffs this year. They have the aggressiveness to get what they want when they want it...the biggest problem is that they can be too aggressive and lose focus fast. All-in-all, their a dangerous team to be given 7.5 points. I expect this to be close, but for sure to cover. I also like Sacramento and Portland over 203.

Timberwolves -4...I think Dallas may be a mirage. They have all the stars to do some damage, but they work kinda awkward together. This isn't going to fly in Minnesota. Minnesota is much like Thunder, but better. If Dallas can't take care of Thunder while as semi-weak as they were, then it's not happening tomorrow. Timberwolves are rolling peeps any chance they take the floor.

Input as usual...

[vasilli07]

I like that Wolves pick. Not too sure about Magic, they have been playing well, just too well at the moment. Could be due a bad game anytime. Or play down to the opposition.

[Ralphalph]

Vasili, I think Orlando is the real deal here. Of course every bet should possess some share of skepticism, but that's like everything in life. Orlando's strength of schedule has been very difficult Indiana, Minnesota, and Cleveland (they can be good when they want to be) and yet they've kept those games close. I may be over exaggerating this statement a little, but to me defense is everything and they got that going for them. I can't say much the same about Boston. Boston has no real offensive threats, they don't shoot the ball very well, their chemistry is awful and their strength of schedule hasn't been too impressive. And they have a new coach who is a nice guy to say the least. All of these things riding against plus their on the road...if your still skeptical, then bet lightly. I happen to think it's really weird Vegas didn't start the line at least 13pts; go figure.

[mattyg93]

Interesting write ups. Today I like the magic over. Then the thunder, cavs and twolves by the spread.

1x Cavs -3 @-110
1x Thunder -3 @-115
1x Twolves -4 @-110
1x Bobcats +3 @-110
1x Celtics over 191 @-115

Most likely all for today unless I see a halftime line I like. Done with live betting for now. Lets get this back in the right direction.

[Ralphalph]

Here's another interesting bet, just for kicks...I really like Cal Poly San Luis Obispo +17. Their playing sixth ranked Arizona (6) tonight. Clearly not going to be an upset, but lots to play around with. I didn't pick this one myself, but I liked it enough to go large on it. GL!

[Ralphalph]

I took Cavs in a teaser, Magic -6.5, Bobcats +3 and Over 94pts all lost...Embarrassing. Insert foot in mouth. That's gambling for ya!

[mattyg93]

Overall Record: 26-24
ytd: -.19u

[Ralphalph]

Got any picks today Matty?

[mattyg93]

Here goes nothing.

1x Clippers over 214 @-110
1x 76ers under 201 @-110
1x Mavs -2.5 @-110
1x Cavs halftime -4.5 @-110
1x Nets halftime PICK @-110

Will bet on golden state if I can get a line. Thoughts Ralph?

[Ralphalph]

I like golden state +3. My initial thought was "trap" because golden state is without curry, but I think igoudala was just a very good addition to support them when klay or curry are out. This Memphis team is still in hibernation. I doubt they come out tonight. All my money is on other bets now, but I would've taken it if I could.

I took Orlando +6.5. I want my money back from last night.

GL!

[mattyg93]

Overall Record: 29-26
ytd: +.45u

[mattyg93]

1x Pelicans -2 @-110
1x Twolves -3.5 @-115
1x Wizards +9.5 @-110

Could use a clean sweep today

[vasilli07]

Like that Pelicans pick too. GL.

[Ralphalph]

I took Spurs -3, Pelicans -2, and Wizards -9. Might get a piece of that Minnesota game later. GL!

[mattyg93]

[Ralphalph]

Thanks. Seemed like an easier day for some reason. Tonight seems harder but I like Pistons and Portland over 198, Hawks -2.5, Minnesota +6.5, and Pacers -6.5. GL!

[Ralphalph]

Ouch Matty,...You got burned today It was a hard day to bet I think. We'll get'em back tomorrow.

[Ralphalph]

I like Golden State and Pistons over 202.5 and Lakers and Pelicans over 199.

[mattyg93]

Yea. Rough day yesterday. Can't edit my post for some reason. Good job on the 2-1 yesterday. I also agree on both your picks today.

Overall Record: 32-32
ytd: -2.9u

1x Lakers over 200 @-110
1x Pistons Over 203 @-105
1x Mavs over 206 @-115

winning night please

[Shifty107]

Hey Matty. Keep your head up mate. I too felt a dog day yesterday and it just didn't come off. Sad to see you on the over in LA but I thought I'd be cute and get it in early at 198 thinking it would drop. Looks like if we had reversed our timing a middle would have been possible. None the less best of luck today brother.

[Ralphalph]

2 and 1? You mean 4 and 4. I got all the picks right yesterday :0)

Shifty, it's very tempting to take Lakers and Pelican's Under. I considered it a lot. However, I think that's a setup. This will be a close game, perhaps Lakers winning, but it will mean that the over is much more likely.

Thank you. I hope you are still killing it still.

Ralph my bad.Don't even know what post I was looking at.

It's paid, but relatively inexpensive in comparison to League Pass.
