Roag's NBA Regular Season Thread

RoagBettor · 10-25-09, 01:29 PM

The over/under on the Celts/Cavs game is 187.5 at BookF*cker. I can't play it, this game will go down to the wire and could to to OT.

Orlando won the NBA Preseason Championship. Big f'n deal. Teams have long memories, and everyone will be gunning for them right from the first game. I'm not impressed with them at this point.

RoagBettor · 10-25-09, 01:32 PM

Guys, my picks were posted all over the place, I'm not one of those people who keeps spreadsheets and such. I'm a Roag Bettor. I played a lot of 3 Team/8 Pt Teasers with NBA and NCAA basketball and I know I hit at least 70% of those. It's the other sh*t I bet that kills me (like soccer).

All my NBA plays will be posted here.

RoagBettor · 10-25-09, 01:49 PM

Lines are out for Tuesday and Wednesday and I see money in the bank baby!

Here is what I'm leaning towards for my 3 Team/8 Pt Teaser:

Lakers -2
Celtics -2.5
San Antonio -.5

Orlando is a no play for me. Philly is for real this season, and after their playoff series I can't touch this game. The other 3 should hit.

I love it, this should hit. I'm also liking Detroit -2 pointspread.

BOL this season Roag

pockets89 · 10-25-09, 05:50 PM

Hey Roag any value in teasing maybe portland/lakers together on opening night or straight bet portland on top of your lakers/mavs teaser? I just dont see houston winning on the road without yao and tmac i honestly dont think the game is even going to be close.

RoagBettor · 10-25-09, 05:57 PM

Don't underestimate Houston this year without Yao. They have some players and they play hard from start to finish. That being said, Portland should win but it's a no play for me personally.

I can't play unknown teams at the beginning of the season. Most of my teasers will be with the Celtics, Cavs, Lakers, and the Spurs for now, and then Denver, Utah, Orlando, and Indiana only at home and depending upon who their opponent is. All other teams I'll wait to see how they play for the first month or so.

pockets89 · 10-25-09, 06:19 PM

Oh I see so once you get an idea on how the teams are doing for the first month then you start to branch out with your picks a bit?

Absolutely. There will be some surprises, but not with the top 4 teams in the league.

I'm still not sold on Orlando. Winning the NBA Preseason Championship means nothing.

Karayilan9 · 10-25-09, 09:14 PM

BOL Roag, I'll be round here when NBA kicks off

RoagBettor · 10-26-09, 02:32 PM

And away we go!

3 Team/8 Point Teaser

Lakers -2
Celtics (Game 2 against Charlotte) -2.5
Spurs -.5

Nice one! Your teasers are tailing-material at its best. BOL

williams22 · 10-26-09, 02:56 PM

Roag, I definitely like this first teaser. What do you think about including Portland on Opening Night as well?

Portland should win, but I don't see them covering 9.5. The Rockets are just one of those teams that do well against good teams and poorly against weak teams.

I'm probably going to take the Rockets +11.5 in my parlay (I always buy 2 pts in my basketball parlays).

I guess I wasn't clear. I meant what do you think about including Portland in the teaser, at -1.5.

RoagBettor · 10-26-09, 03:09 PM

My book only allows 3 Team/8 Pt teasers; if I could add a 4th team it would be Portland at -1.5 but I wouldn't play it for as much as I did the 3 Teamer.

azn624 · 10-26-09, 03:12 PM

I'll be following this and gl roag and also will you be doing all teasers for this?

I just realized that it looks like 5Dimes doesn't allow teasers across multiple nights. I m ay be going with a teaser of Portland, LA Lakers, and possibly the Celtics as I just don't see the Cavs blowing them out on opening night.

RoagBettor · 10-26-09, 03:19 PM

I'll play mainly 3 Team/8 Pt Teasers, but once in awhile I'll play some 5 point teasers (mostly 2 teamers). I'll also play 3-4 small parlays per week. Rarely will I play the money line, but when I do it will be a heavy underdog with the books begging for people to keep betting a heavy favorite (but only in certain situations).

pockets89 · 10-26-09, 04:27 PM

how did you get the laker game part of the teaser roag? I use bookmaker and all the other books seem to have the game down for the time being. Guess I have to wait for the line to come back up.

RoagBettor · 10-26-09, 04:35 PM

Laker game was on BookF*cker early this afternoon at Lakers -10, that's why I booked it right away.

raddle_snake · 10-26-09, 04:39 PM

Hi, much preferred on Soccer, I haven't bet on NBA Basketball. How does it works? sorry..

azn624 · 10-26-09, 11:36 PM

which books give you -120 for 3 team/ 8 point teaser, cause dsi got them at -160 and that sucks

secret007 · 10-27-09, 12:34 AM

5dimes only give you -145 , where can you get -120 ? I am looking for a new book and after doing some researches, I think 5dimes is the best in term of juice. So where can I get -120?

thanks

bookmaker has them at -120

betus has them for -140, but I wouldn't exactly recommend them. They've been good to me but I've heard some complaints in the past.

i have both books because bookmaker has horrible soccer odds, and I like the half/quarter/team total etc options betus has.

why don't you just go with the 8 point teaser and get dallas pk, portland -1.5, and lakers -2? you have to lay an extra $18 to get the same payout but I'd rather have all those matchups at the key -2 number or below.

The Greek and Betjam only have 7 pt teasers and it would be 260 to win 200.

I see a lot people complaining about not getting paid from Bookmaker or checks not clearing. I'd rather pay a little extra juice and know I'll get my money right away for any amount I want.

RoagBettor · 10-27-09, 06:26 AM

I'm hoping to get the Celtics at +5 and Rockets at +10 later today so I can play the following 3/8 teaser:

Celtics +13
Rockets +18
Rockets/Blazers over 178

Also considering the following parlay (I always buy 2 pts):

Celtics +6.5 (or 7)
Rockets/Blazers over 184
Spurs -6.5
Thunder -5.5

RoagBettor · 10-27-09, 08:43 AM

Well I can't trust betus and don't wanna go with bookmaker either because of they're payout issues, so is 5dimes at -145 juice for3team/8pt teasers?
