BL WNBA 09 Picks - Thread for the record

**SportsTerminator** · 09-26-09, 11:48 PM

Good hit BL! I was leaning Phoenix moneyline myself. But no celebration post? Lol.

BL · 09-27-09, 09:58 AM

Here's your celebration post, ST

And now we have the finals we all waited for: Phoenix vs Indiana.

Phoenix -4,5 4 Units WINNER

>>> Overall record: 43-25 +40 Units (63,24%)

**SportsTerminator** · 09-27-09, 12:01 PM

Is game 1 in Indy?

**SportsTerminator** · 09-27-09, 12:12 PM

I'm leaning towards whatever the home team is game 1. Or what would be smart is let whatever team win game 1 then pound the loser game 2. Because I don't see a sweep.

BL · 09-27-09, 12:28 PM

First game at Phoenix!

**SportsTerminator** · 09-27-09, 12:59 PM

Yea I'm just looking at the lines. So it's 2-2-1 which I didn't know. So in Phoenix is the final game game 5.
Mercury is the favorite for the series. Now that I think about it more this is tough to cap lol. Indy has tremendous defense... Offense wins games but defense wins championships...

BL · 09-27-09, 03:00 PM

first game call should be Phoenix. 2nd game Indiana +X if X is high enough

BL · 09-27-09, 03:09 PM

WNBA FINALS GAME 1
Phoenix -4,5 2 Units

Phoenix will get it done in game1. Well rested and still the loss of lasts homegame vs Indiana in their heads - tuesday is Phoenix-Day !

**RoagBettor** · 09-27-09, 07:18 PM

Each team won on the other's home court in the regular season. The first game in Phoenix went under, the second in Indiana went over.

If Indiana is going to win the series, they need Game 1. I might play a 2 teamer, Fever +9.5 and the over 170.

**ztballer** · 09-27-09, 09:04 PM

Phoenix beat Indiana when Katie Douglas was out, Indiana beat Phoenix even with Tammy Sutton Brown out.

I'm a big Mercury fan but they will need to be shooting lights out from the get go to have any chance of winning.

BL · 09-28-09, 05:12 AM

Very easy call for me: If Phoenix loses game1 I can pound them in game2.... But I don't see them losing this one

That's rite. Mercury will win. -4.5. Indiana has been scratchy wo been brilliant . Stop catchings And Douglas and ur home. Bring it on.

BL · 09-29-09, 02:35 AM

If you want to bet the series get phoenix right now at 365. odds are +170 for phoenix... ok they mixed odds up but who cares as long as they usually don't cancel bets.
Well, I won't bet the series again because I already got some money on Phoenix and Indiana to win it all.

And hell yeah, Phoenix -4,5 is still the right call for tonight.
I'm out till Wednesday! See ya then!

**ztballer** · 09-29-09, 03:21 AM

BL what do you mean you've got money on Phoenix AND Indiana to win it all?

BL · 09-29-09, 03:37 AM

Got Phoenix to win championship +350 and Indiana to win championship +350 earlier when Sparks still were favs to win it all!
I'm out now. See ya Wednesday! Good luck and let's hope Phoenix cashes the ticket !

**ztballer** · 09-29-09, 04:06 AM

You hedged your bets on the championship?

BL · 09-29-09, 04:14 AM

I booked them almost at the same time. I thought PHX or IND will win so I booked both of them. Now both playing each other in the finals it's a surebet situation
Tonight I am only rolling with PH -4,5. No bet on the total. I was leaning the under but I think the over is 3-0 in last 3years Finals game1 and.... it's Phoenix

Now I am out for real. See ya Wednesday, hopefully with a Phoenix-Cover and a good line for game2

Tried to do it but saw now that they changed the odds and canceled the bet.

**SexyMit** · 09-29-09, 10:34 AM

Phoenix is the right call tonight!

He didn't hedge either way he wins, gets something back. The odds are +350.

BL · 09-30-09, 09:15 AM

Phoenix -4,5 2 Units LOSER

>>> Overall record: 43-26 +38 Units (62,32%)

BL · 09-30-09, 05:00 PM

let's wait the public to pound Phoenix and get Indiana at something like +5.... not sure about it yet, just my early lean!

BL · 10-01-09, 04:03 PM

WNBA FINALS GAME 1
Indiana +4,5 2 Units

Line is moving back to -4 at some places so I booked it right now. C'mon Indiana! Show me your soul! Tonight Indiana is supposed to give the right answer after that OT-loss !

**SportsTerminator** · 10-01-09, 06:27 PM

Much success on your pick BL. I hope Phoenix wins tonight so I can POUND Indiana game 3.

BL · 10-02-09, 02:13 AM

Indiana +4,5 2 Units WINNER

>>> Overall record: 44-26 +39,82 Units (62,86%)

BL · 10-02-09, 03:43 AM

And you already know what will be my pick for game3

Originally posted by BL

This will get a very close series if you ask me. I think Indiana is the better team but with homecourt-advtg for Phoenix it could turn the other way as well.

My leans are:

Phoenix wins game1 by 7
Indiana wins game2 in a close one
Indiana wins game3 the easy way
Phoenix wins game4 in a ****n blowout
Indiana OR Phoenix to take it all

BL · 10-02-09, 08:02 AM

early lines for Sunday:

Indiana -4,5 / Phoenix +4,5
o/u not released yet

odds based on bwin.com

**ztballer** · 10-02-09, 08:55 AM

I think Indiana will win game 3 as well. They've sold over 16000 tickets and counting. Indiana is rallying up behind Fever.

**SportsTerminator** · 10-02-09, 11:48 AM

Phoenix responds well to blowouts, beatdowns, and terrible performances...

BL · 10-02-09, 02:18 PM

lines are out at 365

Indiana -3
o/u 179

So we could buy Indiana -3 at 365 or Phoenix +4,5 at bwin.com

BL · 10-02-09, 03:05 PM

Ok, guys. Everybody who didn't notice that Indiana is the better team in this series should do it right now! Sure, I loved to bet on Phoenix everytime they lost bad because they are a great if not the best "bounce-back" team. But right now we are in the finals and Indiana is way to smart to give homecourt-advantage back that quick.
There's only one pick for Sunday and because I do not have any idea on what the public will be I am booking it right now:

Finals Game3
Indiana -3 2 Units

Let's hope on a blowout so we get a nice line to take Phoenix in game4!

BL · 10-03-09, 08:56 AM

I may add a wager on the UNDER. Change of the city played in normally makes it easier to hit the UNDER. Last game almost went over the total so it was no "real" UNDER. I think we will get this Sunday in Indiana.
But because of the highscoring in Indiana earlier this season I am 100% sure about it yet. Maybe I'll play it as a sidebet. If I book it as a official project play I will let you know here after another look.
