i use these days off to test/refine/tweak......and i have maybe 3 weeks of nba left for me and then on to baseball the #1 money maker out there.

Ok let´s try it this way: OKC might run out of gas, Denver might come out strong and angry, Denver is at home and they need this game.
This is all covered in the fact that they are a 12:1 favorite.
Tell me why the line should be -14 for example.
And no, them beating OKC ages ago doesn´t qualify as a sharp analysis.

Ck,
what's your feel for LAL @ Houston minus Odom...
other than Kobe/Gasol...the rest of LAL is suspect lately..Farmar jcking up shots from everywhere...Harper showing some age.....I think the LAL may get waxed here..

that's a little better....no reason to hate on a guys cappin...enemy is the book...All I ask that if you don't like my analysis just move on..it is free after all
Are you serious? This isn´t the same OKC team, if you cap games like that all i can say is GL coz you will need it.
ouch!! while the thunder are slightly improved defensively from last year, they still give up 103ppg and the nuggets are more then capable of dropping a big number on them. 168 again? of course not with a more structured offense. but a 120-100 game is more then attainable.

i look at the last 5 home games so what are you talking about "ages ago"?
the players playing tonight are the same players for the most part from last year with the exception of westbrook.
as for the line - do you know that kevin durant is out and the thunder are on btb vs a rested nuggets team that is very good at home ats? 14 is a little high, but a sign to me that the books are trying to scare people off of this blowout.
im very much looking forward to your analysis of games now

Yeah! I have had a bad little run here for a few days but it's nothing compared to what I'll be getting back today going heavy. I have never lost a challenge of any kind, so it should be interesting. I'm at my best when the pressure is on for post season games, bowl games, Super Bowl, MLB, it makes me no difference. I wagered on every single NFL playoff game including the Super Bowl and only had 3 losses, I used my MLB system in the playoffs and World Series and only lost three times the entire post season when in only three games did the teams fail to execute a run by the third inning. I only lost 3 and didn't play one NCAA Bowl Game this year and won all the rest. When I play heavy it's good, when I'm just f*cking around, my record doesn't really mean as much to me as it does to others when I'm hedging myself and so on anyway. I haven't made a heavy play in a while but I have three for today. Those picks you speak of will be but a memory. These kinds of games only come up every once in a while. You play em heavy when it counts. Even a service or tout will have regular plays and heavy plays to offer. In the playoffs there are less games to cap, so I can zero in on a select few. Anything goes in our matchup. No restrictions on what you can wager on. Quarters, halves, props etc. are all acceptable. I've done this thing of ours for a long time. I think I'll hold my own.
Once again, congratulations Sexy mit! Prepare for battle!

The last four being losses scared me a bit too, then I saw it was to #20 Syracuse in OT, at #2 Pitt, at #5 Louisville, and home to #5 UConn. They blew the Johnies out by 14 on 2/14. Hopefully they continue to kill the low hanging fruit of the Big East.

Check it out though. I bought a ton of shares of Citibank stock last week with a straddle option when it was under a dollar. This morning it went to $1.51. I believe it will go to $15.00 a share before it's all over after the acquisition. And someone will try to buy my shares from me probably at some point. And I posted it on the thread for all to see. When someone's making money like this, it isn't wise to fade me. You should listen to what I have to say. I am an expert at money management unlike anyone you have ever seen. And what's beautiful about it is I hang out here with degenrates all day because I retired at the age of 26. I'm 41 now. If I ain't makin' money on some small plays oh well! I STILL have something to offer. When you can show people how to make money in divere ways like that, you becme legend. Cold streaks don't matter when you give a person a way to pick up 300 more wins than losses in the hardest sport to cap (MLB). Fade the picks, heed the lesssons. See ya in the playoffs.

It seems to easy the line set at 202!! It started at 201 and it's now at 202.5....Just hope OKC do their part (take a lot of points or score near the 100 mark)

Bank stocks with a straddle option is where it's at right now, repski. Good to see I'm not the only one reaping the benefits! Let's get paid as the market makes it's come back and creditors start to relax a bit.

New Orleans +8
I love this line tonight as the Hornets where on a winning streak of 7 games before going into Atlanta and getting slapped around. Now they get the gift of playing their 2nd game on a 4 game road trip against the Wizards. You know CP3 and Co. are going to come out tonight on a mission to just destroy after getting beat by 10 in their previous game. The Wizards have had only 3 wins ATS & SU over their last 10 games. On the season for Washington after a win by 10 points or more they are 1-5 ATS, and when playing against a team with a winning record - 2nd half of the season they are a horrible 0-9 ATS. I am taking the Hornets in this spot as I expect them to blowout the Wizards with ease.
New York Knicks (+8) vs Detroit Pistons
The Pistons have finally started playing good basketball again and the oddsmakers have decided they are already the Pistons of old that will be back in the Eastern Conference finals. Not so fast as this is a great spot for the Knicks who just pulled off the upset win versus the Bucks last night and now play the Pistons who are just off an emotional win versus the Magic. Even with how solid the Pistons have been playing they are still just 10-22 ATS in home games. Everyone looks at how great the Pistons have been playing, but forget to notice the trends following the Knicks. The Knicks are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games and they have already beating the Pistons once this season. The Knicks have also been a solid bet lately, including a 7-4 ATS record on the second night of back-to-backs. They are on ATS runs of 21-10-1 as underdogs, 7-1 on Wednesdays, 14-5-1 as a road 'dog and 5-2-1 on the road overall. I am taking the Knicks with a generous amount of points tonight as I think the Pistons will win the game, but the Knicks will keep it under the 8 points.
Dallas vs Portland (-8)
I have no doubt that the public will be jumping all over the play on Dallas. The problem with that play is Dallas is only 1-5 both SU and ATS in their last 6 games ATS. During those 6 games they only broke 88 points once and that was against the Suns so it isn't that big of an accomplishment. Now they have to play Portland who only gives up 93 points per game. Portland is going to be out on a mission after the way they manhandled the Lakers in their previous game they want to show that it wasn't just a fluke. Portland is a GREAT team at home who nobody wants to play come playoff time. They have currently won 12 straight games at home. Dallas is still without Josh Howard who was the reason they beat the Spurs a few games ago. I am taking the Blazers here as they will shutdown the Mavericks tonight and run away with the victory.
