    Brahmabulls 2012 NBA Season Thread

    hey guys last year I had some awesome success in the NBA playoffs (won about 12 out of 14 plays I posted). Anyways, I've been taking a break from gambling for a while because I've been very busy with work and life and I wanted to get back into this so I'm gonna start a new thread with all my plays. Keep in mind, most of my plays in basketball are moneyline parlays - to me, picking straight up winners in basketball is very easy compared to any other sport



    3/5/2012


    ML Parlay - Bulls, Magic, OKC - 1U for 1.59U



    I like this play a lot. Bulls have absolutely owned Indiana in recent seasons and they're looking for revenge after that loss earlier at home. Toronto's home record against winning teams is brutal and OKC has beaten nearly everybody at home (Dallas has struggled against good teams on the road)


    I think you got easily a 50% chance of all 3 teams winning

    yea, I thought it was at least a 50/50 proposition (great value at +169), which is exactly what it turned out to be

    nice job man, had bulls ml and thunder ml parlay. was a bit worried but the Thunder are one of the few teams I can trust late in the 4th quarter. Well, them and the Bucks too.

    I'm not seeing much I like tomorrow


    Price will likely be too high for Orlando and the Heat. Lakers are god awful on the road, Dallas and Boston are too inconsistent, Atlanta is too unpredictable


    u guys see anything you like?

    Might not be your cup of tea because you seem to be a favorite taker, but Pistons +5 looks good. Lakers are 6-12 on the road, 1-5 ATS as a road fav.

    I thought that looked like a great play but the lakers have been starting to play with more confidence recently. Wouldn't be surprised to them finish this off strong and win by 10-14



    Thank god I stayed away from today, Orlando - 500 was way too high for a road game, looks like Indiana is gonna lose as well (Atlanta is just not a team you want to bet for or against)



    A lot better choices for tomorrow - I'm gonna probably put some money on OKC at home against Phoenix, SA at home against NYK and bulls on the road (which isn't even a road game, Milwaukee is basically 60% bulls fans)

    The Hawks are honestly the toughest team in the league to wager on.

    No play is the best play in every one of their games

    Beating the heat on the road with all of their players then lose to them at home when all of the big 3 are out with injuries

    Parlay #2 - 1 u to win 1.02 u


    Bulls
    OKC
    SA


    lots of reasons to like this. Bulls own milwaukee, OKC matches up really really well against Phoenix, SA has been awesome at home and they're playing with Manu returning against struggling NY. I actually think SA will cover the spread but I dunno if I will play it

    I do but 7.5 points is an awful lot for a road game. I would feel much better with 5 or 6

    That's true brahmabull, but I was at the previous game up there (granted that was a Saturday night), and that must have FELT like a road game for the Bucks! The Bulls were on fire that night! Our fans were probably 80-90% of the folks in the building. Bucks fans were nowhere to be found lol. We were also louder & rowdier than the typical sleepy, corporate drones that make up the crowd at Chicago's United Center.

    either way I don't think it's a bad play but I really like the value at -350 ML for the bulls



    the bulls are 7-0 against Milwaukee under Tom Thibadeau. The problem for milwaukee is that the bulls are a VERY bad matchup for them - Milwaukee tries to win games by grinding it out and playing tough defense (which is exactly what the bulls do, but the bulls do it 10 times better). I would handicap this game at about -600 for the bulls. I think they win at least 6 out of 7 times

    Agreed. And if Rose is playing, he pretty much shuts Brandon Jennings out of the equation at least 75% of the time.

    Glad I stayed away from my hometown bulls last night. I knew they could be in for a rough game after such an emotional win the game before

    alright I'm gonna do something different today. Not much I really like in terms of ML parlays but there are several spread plays I really like



    Boston - 3.5 -Pretty simple here, good home team against a very bad road team in Portland that is still getting way too much respect. This line should be around - 6 Boston considering how bad Portland has been recently


    NO + 10.5 - ridiculously inflated line here. Denver hasn't beaten anybody at home by double digits in a long time plus NO won in the building earlier this year


    SA - 5 - I like the spurs here. They beat LAC by 25 earlier this year at home and have traditionally owned LAC. Spurs have also played very well with getting Manu Ginobli back

    Goddamn it, fukking awful finish to the day. Hornets looked good pretty much all the way until late 3rd quarter/4th quarter. Spurs had a good chance to cover as well before they collapsed late



    I wouldn't have played the spurs if I knew tony parker was out (was not disclosed until late). Damn it



    oh well, get em tomorrow

    ML Parlay - Lakers and Clippers - 1 u to win 0.91 U






    note: I edited this post because my rec is actually 3-2 and not 4-3. My only play today is the Lakers/Clippers parlay which I confirmed in several other threads
