    sorry but i have the impression that more and more people are trying to make their bets according to line movements.
    Thats ok if you know what you're doing , but i would argue that there are a lot of people who don't even know how rlm works and try to find logical arguments , which could explain the moves.
    Sry if it sounded offensive , but i just wanted to point out that the money is the key factor whether the line moves or not .

    the only play i like for todays nba card is houston +6.
    The fact that t-mac is out makes me even more comfortable to cash the wager .
    T-Mac was playin awful the last weeks, took a lot of bad shots and is responsible for some bad houston games / losses ( game at no).
    Apart from this i hate todays card, but i'm probably going to play san diego and arizona in the nfl .

    Whatever you choose for tonight ,
    BOL to everyone.

    jayc88,

    Gotcha babe. For the record I don't place that much stock into line movements. I go by power reankings first, historical head to head play second, third i like to see when the wise guy play was made (the lines will chane at the 6 books in Vegas when itis done. The Vegas Insider is a brilliant site to check out the exact moment that the wise guy play ws made and how it affected the line everywhere else shrtly after it was made) and then i make my way to consensus, and the certain direction that the line moves. For the most part, i already have a play in mind a week in advance. i can tell you right now what i will play next week from Monday through Friday. I may deviate a little due to unforeseen circumstances, but usually I have a plan days in advance.... Good luck to you, but my good man... You still have not given us what sides you are playing...

    LT was a nonfactor this season Sproles was the back to watch out for.

    i agree with this - sproles is the playmaker now for the chargers. this is philip rivers team now, not LT's..

    if a person who wagers doesn't know that the money moves the line then they shouldn't be wagering but you must be very careful in that money line moves can be very deceptive.

    Oh my God, these kids from UCONN are gonna give me heartburn. I can't quite remember a game where one team has so thoroughly outplayed the other, yet the score is tied due to bone headed blunders and miscues. Truly amazing

    On January 2, at 5:35 pm I lost my beloved dog Yoyo. I helplessly witnessed how painfully in agony he departed this life. He died from internal bleeding. He was 14 years old. When he was 7 years old, he lost the use of his back legs, and for the past 7 years he's been dragging himself until his painful and horrifying end. He was always cheerful and happy friend.
    Yoyo, I am going to love you and miss you forever.

    I am beginning to think that the UCONN players are throwing the game. No way can that many mistakes with special teams can be made in one game

    yes 90% of the time and he keeps track of your plays and if one of your fav plays is a dog he'll add 1/2 a point to a point. so i might stick him with hou this eve.

    Sorry to hear that Pronk, there is no doubt that Dog is mans best friend. You may not want to see the movie Marley and me for awhile, don't want to give away any spoilers here for those who haven't seen, but you may want to wait. Sorry to hear, but Yoyo is no longer in pain or suffering, and its amazing how a dog in that condition, is so loyal to its owner to stay with you so long. Heres to Yoyo salute.

    the book came up with a deal in bb if u played 3 or more teams in a night, u got 3 points in your favor off of or added to the line depending on weather you played the fav or the dog. so my friend and i got together and we played the exact opposites of each other every nite hoping to middle them and we both hit for 11 dimes in less then 10 days.

    hence they got pissed but they came up with the deal and we took advantage of it. i think they should have at least given us our initial 5k deposit tho.

    CK I hear all of your logic and stats on Houston and in total agreement. But this team is going through to many issues. Battier who is heart and soul of the team is out, McGrady has been a dog, and still slight chance he may play he said, Artest is playing on bad ankle and I'm sure after being on a plane last night and playing did not help. I want to see if Yao will ever even remotely be like Olajuwon and put a team on his back, I have not really seen it, he has been good NBA player, but I still think he is more hype. The one thing I do like is the spirit of the team Mutumbo will be on the bench tonight. I could see a lift. To be honest, I could see McGrady go against sitting tonight, and Artest be out. Houston can't stay healthy unfortunately. We may never see what they can be. I think I will play Houston, but not big like you are.

    WHOA PRONK, sorry to hear of the loss of your great friend. i know just where you're are at brother as the same happened to me not long ago and i was a wreck for quite a while and still he enters my thoughts on a daily basis but i can tell you that it does get easier with time. even though i got another dog he'll never replace "MY ZEKE"
