[SexyMit]

From what I can see the public is pounding the lakers and the line has dropped from 2.5 to 2, and now dropped to 1.5.

I guess its Orlando and the under for me.

[SexyMit]

That is what I did was Orlando and under! GL tonight!

Final plays:
OR ML -120 - 2 units
UNDER 201 - 4 units
Tease: OR ML and UNDER - 1 unit

I wanted to play the 1H, but couldn't make up my mind. Might throw some on quarters and 2H depending on how it plays out.
Also thinking of fading the 1Q winner in the 2Q. Seems these teams go back and forth in the 1H quarters.

[wangichu]

ORL ML +160 2nd half. I'm seeing it... They aren't going to let up and the refs have their backs. lakers have a lot of guys with fouls, someone will fould out. Also, they dropped the half time spread at -3.5 saying "hey public take the lakers in the second."

makes me sick as a laker fan, but lakers in the second just seems too easy.

This is the type of line that all 1h-losing-teams receive for second half... when they are on par, and losing by a fair amount (eg; 7+ points)

theres betting at every commercial

GL

i get fading the public when there is RLM involved. but in tonights game, the line did exactly what it was supposed to.

[Dexter]

who'd you take danrman?

[danrman]

havent made a move yet.. i hedged my orlando bet w/ the lakers at the half +335-small to come back and win

[danrman]

orlando at the moment anyway looks to have a deer in the headlights look and the lakers are smelling a championship

[danrman]

if you want to take the lakers.. now is the time w/ the game even

[danrman]

i just put 1 unit on lakers to win at even...

[danrman]

already have a bunch on orlando dex

[FreshCoast]

How can pro basketball players miss so many free throws?

[Dexter]

i just put 1 unit on lakers to win at even...

what kind of bets are these? in game bets that arent qtr related?

[Dexter]

dammit pietrus....we all would have been happy

[danrman]

the game was tied 75-75 dex and i put a small bet on the lakers at even to win.. i also put a small laker bet at the half to come back and win at +335.. there just hedges against my orlando bet

[danrman]

smellin championship????

[danrman]

and the hedges pay off... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Dexter]

Goodnight Orlando:

Game 5: Lakers (3x)

[Dexter]

projected game 5 line:

Magic -3

[slk08]

i cant believe it..... i think i have to stop nba now...

[melincrea]

Wait wait... why is Game 5 in Orlando?..

I thought it was Home Home, Away Away, Home, Away, Home (for the higher seeded team)..

... hm, even if they are their conference winners.. is this how it always works? Or is it like this since Lakers are 3-1?

[slk08]

The finals are 2-3-2. I have no idea why though I think its ridiculous. Lakers should be goin back home to celebrate but no, they have to celebrate now in Orlando.

[Vreston]

Man you guys posted late yesterday didn't you?
I ended up getting lucky and caught both Orlando plus the spread and the under. I was nervous about it bcs when I played it there was no input yet by you guys.
I think you guys are right about the over for game 3. I will think about it a little more though.
I love that Orlando 1st quarter pick CK. Sounds really solid.
I was kind of thinking maybe LA takes game 4 as Orlando will be playing the first time at home in this series and they gave LA a run for it in game 2. Then LA goes home and finishes it in game 6.

Sh*t happens. I felt this from the beginning for no reason based on stats or anything. It just seemed the most logical thing for me. You know how sth hits you as an idea like a light bulb then you go the other way and say damn I should've followed the inspiration.
Now I really think Orlando will win game 5 and LA wins at home.

[cocknocker]

Well I took my second loss of the Finals (Orlando -1.5 1st quarter game 3)but still broke even with a selection for the under for yesterday's action. I honestly thought that Orlando would get it done, but D-Fish hit an incredible shot over a guy who I said shouldn't even be on the floor to begin with. The inclusion of Nelson in the lineup has destroyed team chemistry and split the locker room. Would Anthony Johnson have a better chance at defending that three? Who knows? All that we do know is that he is taller than Nelson to be sure. But that is neither here nor there. Time to move on to the next game, Game 5 wherein I will make a fantastically HUGE play on the over, since I already have a sizeable wager on the Lakers Finals Series as well as a Lakers championship bet prior to the playoffs. So I am locked in on the side and at this point, it doesn't make sense for me to take sides anymore.

Time to zero in on the total and the one for this game is too low for a potential closeout game (198.5) between two teams that are very capable of scoring in the 100's. With desperation in the mix, the Magic are liable to score 112 by themselves. I'm not going to go into my formula for this game because no one cares about that anyway. All you motherf*ckers want are winners. And once again in another postseason I gave them to you going 80% on my HEAVY plays for another professional postseason/amateur postseason (NCAA football, basketball) NFL Playoffs, MLB Playoffs, and now NBA.

This is not self promoting. Just stating a fact. That you can cap your OWN games and make an honest buck. All that it takes is knowing what are the right numbers to look for, and using them to your advantage. You don't get that type of bang from your buck from tout services. No way. The underground movement is where the money is to be made. Don't pay those silly inflated prices to touts when post season play starts. Come on down to the Mafia thread, or go to jgbgsox thread, or Sexymit's, or Today's Action, cheme82, JohnMorr08, TPowell, Pho3nix32, (and any other of the guys in here I foolheartedly forgot to mention) threads to check out guys who give reasoning to their picks and answer intelligent questions. Learn how to pick your OWN games and get insightful information and some sound picks. After all the People's Champ means that I'm a lunch pail type guy just like everybody else in here. Don't pay a service. Never forget that.


My pick Game 5

Lakers/Magic over 197.5 (1 point buy to get under the key number) HEAVY

[RICHIE801]

Those 15 missed free throws, makes me that much more anxious for college football. Orlando had every chance in the world and blew it.

[danychaos]

CK, I'm taking that over along with you, but if you were to pick a side what would it be?

[NBA Hero]

winning season for a lot of guys.
nice ck.
