Grizzlies-1 -105 (5dimes) (risking 3.15x to win 3x)

Grizzlies getting disrespected here. Books are probably skeptical about their good start but I'm not. Gasol claims he's playing for sure so probably no worries there, don't want to risk having to lay more.

[Seto]

Wizards-4.5 -106 (5dimes) (risking 1.06x to win 1x)
Nets+1.5 -106 (5dimes) (risking 1.06x to win 1x)

I really should take the ml on brooklyn, absolutely more +ev but I dunno I just took that pt.

[Seto]

Thunder-5.5 -110 (skybet) (first half) (risking 2.2x to win 2x)
Thunder-7.5 +125 (skybet) (first half) (risking 1x to win 1.25x)
Thunder-20.5 +850 (william hill) (first half) (risking 0.5x to win 4.25x)

Thunder-16.5 +188 (skybet) (risking 0.5x to win 0.94x)
Thunder-19.5 +350 (skybet) (risking 0.5x to win 1.75x)
Thunder-30.5 OR Sixers-30.5 +2000 (william hill) (risking 0.15x to win 3x)

[KRIT]

Like the Grizz play, will probably be on them too.

What do you think about the Twolves? Coming off bad loss to winless Sixers, Houston coming off big win against Grizz and have Suns tomorrow. Seems like a letdown spot for Houston.

Lakers look good tonight too.

I don't know they're just too awful for me to back them tbh (Wolves).

I liked Boston initially, they finally got the monkey off their back after blowing all those leads (they also blew an 11-point lead with 3 minutes to go in that game before recovering in OT). The Lakers are probably a bit better than them though I dunno. Probably a pass there.

[KRIT]

Yeah that's the thing with Wolves, as many angles that point to them, game still comes down to talent which they have none of.

GL with those Thunder bets. I took them too, can't remember the last time I took a double digit road fav in NBA, should hit though. Only thing I can think of that may hold them back is the team chemistry.

[NBA Maniac]

Seto do you know what is the biggest concern with 76'ers ??
Coach may rest key players in the 4th... if i was he, i would do that... wouldn't want to get my stars injured again...

Remember 1 time when coach benched K.Durant, when he could continue his scoring record ?? "to score 25 points or more for 40 straight games in one season".

I will took the points next to tip off with 76'ers.

I'm not even sure I've ever taken one (on the normal spread).

Might have to go all the way back to when I was in my early days gambling. I vaguely remember betting Miami-13 in Cleveland in LeBron's first year in Miami towards the end of the season and they lost SU by 13. LOL. I think I had it parlayed with 1 or 2 other bets that won too smh.

Yeah the backdoor is a possibility obviously. If it wasn't I'd be betting 10 units on this game.

I just think the lead will be big enough by then. I hope so at least.

Thunder scrubs > Sixers starting lineup

[NBA Maniac]

Cleveland won 5 straight against low teams (Wizards the only exception).
Lucky versus Bucks and Knicks....
We could look to revenge angle... but this game for me looks like they are going to get blown again , is too bad the line keep going against me (-4.5 right now).

If the Raptors weren't off that West Coast swing I'd be backing them. They're a better team at this point in the season even without DeRozan.

That game will most likely be close. Cleveland will probably take an early lead then the Raptors will make a run in the 3rd quarter and the game will come down to the last few minutes. That's the way I see it.

[Seto]

Bulls are 2 point dogs tomorrow at home to the Warriors. We won't be seeing much of them as home dogs this season. Warriors are so hot right now though

[Seto]

Thunder scrubs > Sixers starting lineup

Probably yeah. They are a bit offensively challenged though so I hope they won't go cold when they're in there.

I think the time without Westbrook and Durant might have helped some of those guys. It's a shame Perry Jones couldn't stay healthy after the first couple games he had.

I'd still be surprised not to see them win 55.

Bulls or nothing imo. Love taking the Bulls against these finesse 3pt shooting teams. Bad matchup for GSW I think.

Yeah Bulls do well against the Warriors especially at home.

Warriors had that long road trip then came back home for a couple games and are back out East again. Not sure if there's an angle there but they do have to lose eventually.

[NBA Maniac]

UAU we can get Cleveland +5 at 1.909
More and more i think they will get blown.

This line should be 3 in my opinion.

[Vinnie Paz]

Fkn joke in that thunder game. Of course it lands on 12. Fukc me. Happens so often lately I feel like I should be buying points every Fukkin bet

[Seto]

Yeah they just couldn't pull away when it looked they had a chance to push it to 25-30. Durant only had 10pts and didn't seem interested today, just let russ do his thing. Fair enough I guess.

For once that getting a good number actually helped me. First push I've had all year.

Up 1.54 units (already counting nets as a loss nice of them to show up) going into the last couple games. I wanted to take memphis live but couldn't risk losing more than those 3 units on this game. I've always felt like they would win this game despite the start though. l guess we'll see.

[Seto]

Guess the spurs just own memphis. At the end of the day 3 units was too much here. Probably should've lost 1 less.

Anyway it is what it is. Need sac for a winning night. Won't be able to watch, I might not check scores or check in here either to watch the mavs 4th quarter without spoilers when i get home.

[KRIT]

Nothing better than losing on the hook. Last time I probably ever play a DD road fave. Oh well, learning experience. Hope Kings hit for you Seto.

We should have just took Thunder ML, what were we thinking.

[Vinnie Paz]

What we should've done was just play them first half. I'd imagine it's tough getting up mentally/ emotionally into playing the damn 6ers for a full 48minutes especially on the road. "As long as we win in the end then who really cares" is probably their attitude lol

[KRIT]

Sixers are heating up. From a team that never covered, they've covered their last 4. Maybe their last 6, not sure what the line was when they played Brook last week and lost by 8 at home.

Sixers @ Pistons tomorrow should be interesting

[Vinnie Paz]

Pistons laying 9.5 lmao. Gotta give it to philly at least they have heart. Them dudes just keep fighting and don't go away sometimes. Now Detroit on the other hand is basically the complete opposite

[Seto]

Bulls+3 -110 (betcris) (risking 1.65x to win 1.5x)
Bulls-4 +210 (bet365) (risking 0.5x to win 1.05x)

Will answer ur posts and update the record a bit later. Fukking kings blew it. Useless shitheads.

[t-wizzle]

I like Chicago too.

[KRIT]

I like Chicago too. Hopefully Noah plays.

[Pick'nParlays]

Warriors for me boys

Butler can't stay that hot

Curry can.... ML for me

That game actually worked out ok for me, I did have majority on the first half (partially cause I got a great line) and pushed full game.

Grizzlies and Kings buried me though. I do sort of regret putting that much on the Grizzlies but I really was confident about the Kings. They led by 8 with 3 minutes to go (against the Pacers of all teams), all they had to do was either not give up the lead or make free throws down the stretch and they actually almost managed to lose the game (and it's a fukking shame they didn't happy they lost today though).

They actually won last night. Wow Pistons are actually the most pathetic team of all time. They've been pathetic for a few years and this year they were expected to be a bit better with SVG but they're WORSE

[Seto]

Friday: 3-8-1, -5.41x
Saturday: 0-2, -2.15x
Total: 55-90-1, +10.11x

Been a season of runs so far. Hopefully this bad one doesn't last too long.

[Seto]

Hawks-5 -115 (betcris) (risking 1.15x to win 1x)
Wizards+4 -107 (5dimes) (risking 1.07x to win 1x)

Not sure why cris are hanging -5 -115 with every book at 5.5 or 6. Might be a "trap", but if it's as much of a trap as those pinny leads the last year and a half, I don't have too much to be worried about lol.

[pupung]

Wizards +4?

[Seto]

Lakers+2.5 -105 (5dimes) (risking 1.05x to win 1x)

That's (probably) it for today. Hopefully I can have a 3-0 Sunday like last Sunday.
