after the high scoring game 1 why do you think under brother

RoagBettor · 05-22-09, 10:59 AM

I have the under 188 also. Lebron not 100%, the Cavs will slow it down offensively and play hard defense.

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 11:18 AM

i just have a feeling cleveland is really going to dominate this game if orlando isn't hitting the outside shot they won't score 85 and both teams have made adjustments and i dont see either team scoring 95 today cleveland was the best defensive team this year and orlando wasn;t too bad either holding opponent to under 95 points a game and the last 11 times these two teams have met 7 have been unders

aznjeff07 · 05-22-09, 11:27 AM

I understand you want to follow trends and such, but look at last game. They blew the unders out of the water first half, second half, and for the game. I'm not saying that the over is a sure thing, but I could see this game going over again as long as lebron isn't hurt. The rest of his team will pick it up offensively after their last 4th quarter stand around attitude cost them a game.

This is also the playoffs with the cavs at home. They will want to avenge the game by trying to crush the magic and send a message going into game 3. On the other hand the magic know they can win and will also be trying to send a message by having dwight and his outside shooters have a field day

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 11:34 AM

your right it very well could go over i was also leaning under for game one and i played under 2nd half in game one and i got crushed if you go over i wish you luck

aznjeff07 · 05-22-09, 11:38 AM

Honestly I'm not going to bet on the o/u until possibly halftime. That's what I did last time and knew the over was a dare I say lock for the 2nd half. The conf. finals are scaring me with any of the four teams capable of just dominating or flopping. For now it's watch the game until half and possibly use the "anti-morrison" system for baseball

jgbgsox.. with you on the under.. the only pick you have really i am questioning is the nationals pick... why go against baltimore.. so much in their favor.. and vegas is supporting it..

when a team wins 4 in a row i play them until they lose and when a team loses 4 in a row i bet against them until they win just something i have always done over the years. Another thing looking at the nats orioles game is rich hill is 1-1 in his career vs the nationals with an era of 5.25 and a whip of 1.50 and this wil be jordan zimmerman's first career start against the o's and i always give the advantge to the pitcher's when facing a team for the first time but good luck if your going the o's

sorry i didn't feel like making two threads today guess i could have posted this in the mlb forum since i have more mlb picks

kmarinouofm · 05-22-09, 04:34 PM

thats a nice point , but when i saw that zimmerman has gone 0-1 with an 8.34 ERA in four starts this month.
plus you are comparing zimmerman numbers against a different orioles team..

Also Hill's number's against washington don't really reflect him now..
This was one of my stronger plays today.. so i really hope it hits.. but good luck to you as well brother..

Phillth · 05-22-09, 04:37 PM

no worries. at first glance i thought you posting a parlay. no one could be that ambitious though. gonna go against you on the nats pick. I wore an orioles shirt today which i havent done in years. put a small bet on the birds. I also havent bet on mlb is years. good luck

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 04:43 PM

good luck to you guys also and i could be very wrong going with the nats the o's do have a nice lineup and markakis is going to be an all star for along time

jellobiafra · 05-22-09, 04:44 PM

jgbg...

Do you think that the Yankees, Tigers and Padres are better values than the Jays at a very similar price? Thanks.

EDIT:

I guess you do, just wondering why you don't like the Jays I guess if you are willing to lay essentially the same vig on those other 3. I'm on the Jays, if you couldn't tell.

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 04:56 PM

the yanks is my big bet today and halladay is definately a top 3 starter but laying -165 on the road against the braves is tough

jellobiafra · 05-22-09, 07:36 PM

Ahh. I got him at -152. Thought it was a good price. That was before I saw Chipper is out.

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 09:10 PM

baseball has been horrible for me this year

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 10:46 PM

another tough loss tonight

aznjeff07 · 05-22-09, 10:49 PM

Over again. I think every game will go over 190 and will bet on the over as long as it's 185 or under. Too bad vegas has probably figured this out and will make the lines 189ish...

jgbgsox · 05-22-09, 10:52 PM

i dont think vegas will go down to 185 will probally stay between 188-190

aznjeff07 · 05-22-09, 11:03 PM

Yea...hopefully this next game is a complete defensive battle and stays real low to set up another 185 o/u for game 4. I don't see more than 1 game out of the next possible 5 staying under 180 though. \

Too bad the denver/laker game lines are much sharper which will require much more work for tomorrow.
