Roag's NBA Regular Season Thread

[RoagBettor]

Toronto played Orlando tough at home last year, I wouldn't be surprised to see the upset. Then again I wouldn't be surprised to see Orlando win by 15. I can't touch it, too many variables in this game including injuries and suspensions.

The teaser I just posted are the 3 best plays I think.

[MarkHammond]

what happened to your portland love?

[Danskeren]

I see..
Love that teaser. - I will get some of it too.
good luck tonight!

[Danskeren]

How do you feel about the celtics tonight? for the game -10.5.

[RoagBettor]

what happened to your portland love?

I'm still playing Portland, waiting for the line to drop to -1.

[travisowain]

roag, sportsterminator, monkeybiz, all the regs on this thread...i joined the november NBA capping comp, we should all do it and keep track of our strait bets on there. itd be a fun little competition for us all in here

[sterkarm]

Roag, don't you think getting phoenix at -5 is a safer bet than the lakers? PHX is getting richardson back and minnesota is struggling with injuries to love and jefferson..

[Turob]

The Magic vs Raptors line is moving a lot because of uncertanty regarding Vince Carter being able to play. Looks like the final word is he's not playing via Matt Devlin (raptors announcer) twitter:

"No VC no Pietrus....JJ and Barnes will start!"

Taking Raptors but with caution, been burned last game.

Ok, Teaser Gods, I'm hooked. Take a look at this and would very much appreciate your comments. Anything from "Great pick, Monkey" to You are absolutely braindead" (something in between would be preferable)

5 Point 4 teamer. I can't play the 8 point 3 teamer yet. Need to move some cash

Celts -6
Blazers +2.5
Denver -5.5
Lakers -3

Pays $200 on a $100 wager.

I guess the Blazers are the biggest ?? I have. Am I just buying junk points ? Replace with Twolves-Suns under 224 ? Ot just go with the 3 teamer at $140 for $100.

If the Lakers lose today I'll never bet NBA again.

[MUHerd37]

Gasol prolly won't play again today. When he comes back I expect them to go on a tear.

[RoagBettor]

I don't care if Gasol plays or not today. Rest assured the Lakers will win.

[RoagBettor]

Raptors 1Q +2 -115

$25 to win $21.74

[BL]

same pick here Roag! Good luck !

[milkshakeballa]

sac town has been playing well in the 2nd half too. i bet on them to cover their 2nd half. look at the 3 games theyve played and all the preseason games. they do well even against good teams. apart of it is that they are so far behind, but still, its a trend i like...and im gonna be a heavy 3rd quarter better now. all 3 of my 3d quarter bets won, and im hoping the mavs will complete it. but the damn knicks game and the under screwed me. i gotta stop putting the same game into all my parlays and teasers. its such a rookie move. like the lakers last night. just put them in one, MAX 2 and then move on and spread your money around. freakin greenhorn over here

and im still going with the spurs for the over in most games. they really like to push the ball now, and with blair getting them more off rebounds they are gonna get more second change points than they have been. they shot 40% in the bulls game, thats not gonna happen very often. i should of done it tonight, but im gonna stick with them, especially at home and if its under 205

ugh me 2 travis...lakers cost me over 8 unit and lsat night the U on NY cost me both bets like 3 units! we will get it back tho!

Raptors 1Q +2 -115

[milkshakeballa]

Iight guys:

3 team teaser (thanks roag - need help now!)
LA PK
BOS -3.5
DEN -3
4.2 units to win 3.5 (get my amn $$ back from PHi/NY U >( )

6 team parlay:
LA ML
PHO ML
BOS ML
DEN ML
OKC ML
CHI ML
1 unit to win 9.2 units

Only dog is CHI @ Miami but I think they are a better team and will come out strong against wade and co. Heat are a good home team but I think Chi town can pull this off.

OKC - rested young legs...going to ride them at home right now! roag - you are the master and are calling portland so I am worried


BOL to everyone 2day

[sterkarm]

If the Lakers lose today I'll never bet NBA again.

thanks roag. ill take ur confidence over mine any day lol. trying to climb out of a $340 hole due to the lakers the other day.

[travisowain]

jesus christ! im gonna throw up with these 70pt quarters like last night and today. there is no defense in the NBA this year

[RoagBettor]

im taking the halftime under of 99.5...i dont see toronto shooting 57% and i just dont think the magic are gonna play much better offensively than they did in the first half. they are relying on hustle, turnover, and dwight howard, but that doesnt lead to a quick game. i mean JJ reddick is top scorer, jesus christ whiteboy!....DAMNET!!! the line closed just as i making the bet!!! oh well, lets hope it was for the best, but i liked it anyways-->wait, just got it on my other site. god i love bookmaker.com (thanks sports terminator!!!)

whoops! i rescind my previous statement! evidently the magic can shoot lights out with a bunch of bums out there! and toronto cant defend the 2nd unit of another NBA team

71 pts in the 3Q. Another rule is to NEVER play an under when Orlando, GS, or Phoenix is playing. It's just not worth the risk.

last season orlando unders were money in the regular season if they allowed 100+ in the previous game.

OK thanks; will have to watch that angle this season.

[travisowain]

why can the grizz not score? they have some freakin scorers on their team, and they have a decent distributing PG. i dont get it. i wanted to go over against the Nuggs tonight at 207, cause the nuggs always score at home and can control the pace of the game. but then i looked at how much the grizz score and its just too up and down. cmon fellas, put the ball in the hoop. i love your new jerseys, it makes me wanna bet on you!

once again, tonight im going with denver and celtics in the 3Q -2.5....i would of gone with lakers as well, but in looking at their box scores, that is there worst quarter, preseason and regular season both. it says a lot about a team if they cant come out of half time and put you away

[ASH0479]

Careful with Portland, 4th game in 5 nights and the second half of a back to back after a tough loss last night in Houston

[monkeybiz]

Good Luck gang.

Thanks for your inspiration and angles. Sorry if I pissed someone off or was just too stupid to post on this board. I would still take the Celtics tonite and in a teaser they are as close to a lock as you are going to find.

Enjoyed it.

Any thoughts on Memphis Grizzlies (+1) vs. Sacramento Kings (-1) tomorrow? I like Memphis and Iverson should be back tomorrow, but I don't know if that's a good or bad thing lol. And Tyrek Evans MAY be out tomorrow because of the ankle injury.

[RoagBettor]

I like the Kings tomorrow. They're tough at home even against good teams.

[The Donk]

You guys think that the t-wolves will cover 18 points tonight against the suns?

[RoagBettor]

Probably, but it's a tough call, could go either way.

[RoagBettor]

Portland 1H -2 (-105)

$26.25 to win $25

[SamAceRothstein]

Roag, I see you are on the Lakers to win, but what about laying the points?? thoughts??

[RoagBettor]

WTF? I tried to bet Portland 1Q before the game started and it wasn't up on the board. So I took them -2 1H. They win the 1Q by 10 and now are down by 1 in the 2H. Unf'nreal.

[RoagBettor]

Roag, I see you are on the Lakers to win, but what about laying the points?? thoughts??

All I know is that the refs gave the Mavs a gift on Friday night. I can't see them giving the same gift to the Hawks tonight.
