Win at Lakers for the first time in forever last night, and play Phoenix at home next. Perfect sandwich situation.

**rmcaj** · 03-12-07, 01:12 PM

OMG GUYS major system play here! When a road favorite plays back to back nights, wins in the first game then turns around and is on the road and favored again in the second of back to back nights take the home dog. 80% of the time this is a winner. Please take Golden State and cash your money in tomm morning.

**Crayzee** · 03-12-07, 01:17 PM

line is up 8
golden state probably a good play
but outright?

**babaoriley** · 03-12-07, 03:23 PM

Bet Golden State ML big tonight and then try to figure out how to explain it to your wife.

**Crayzee** · 03-12-07, 03:29 PM

I agree Crayzee. Those are the only plays I'll make on this game. And I like the Under of 207. I was welcoming rmcaj to board sarcasm. The dallas winning streak will end soon, but not tonight. Avery has them up for every opponent, regardless of opponent strength. I'm looking forward to the Phoenix game.

I don't know about 80%, but the system described by rmcaj HAS been a gold mine over the years. Scary thng is this Dallas team has been blowing up trends like this all year.

Just thought I would add, Dallas has actually lost, outright, its last 3 games vs GS. So i don't know about "pounding the ML", that makes me uncomfortable. "Pounding" anything in general gives me pause (although without question there are times when it is warranted) and I really don't think this is a good spot for that. But this is just my opinion.

No no, Crayzee, it wasn't a dumb word to use, I mean people use it all the time, and they mean different things by it. Some people might mean "5 units" while others might mean "half my bankroll". I'm just looking out for the good people of this board, and since it's a natural tendency for people to use bad money management (bet too much) in this business, I like to try to be a voice of reason from the other side.

It was actually quite an interesting thread, Crayzee, and it brought up some unique points and situations regarding NBA capping - teams as road faves on consecutive days being bad bets, Dallas as a team seeming to have the rules not apply to them, sandwich situations, etc etc.

It's actually an interesting question - Dallas IS on a seemingly unstoppable roll, and GS is in fact off of a bad loss, and coming home on the second of a back-to-back facing a juggernaut like Dallas. So how do you play that? It's actually a very interesting thread - too interesting, in fact, to yield any clear angles of value.

**Illusion** · 03-12-07, 09:30 PM

I like GS +2.5 1st qtr.

**Crayzee** · 03-12-07, 09:56 PM

1 went with gs+8

It's still too early to think Dallas lost this game.

it IS the gs warriors we're talking about here

**Dark Horse** · 03-12-07, 10:53 PM

Like Razz said, sandwich game.

Interesting 2H bet though.

**Razz** · 03-12-07, 10:56 PM

You have to think everybody and their brother is playing the Mavs at the half.

**Dark Horse** · 03-12-07, 10:58 PM

I'm letting it pass. Greek wants you to take DAL -8.
