I'm no expert by any stretch, but.... Pacers = Some of the most sloppy and lackadaisical effort I've seenComment -
Yeah Indiana sucks. Foster missed the game and Troy Murphy left early. Even so, they would have gotten nailed anyway.Comment -
I'm done betting on Indiana in any situation for the rest of the season. I won't let them get me 3 times.Comment -
By the way, I'm on the Hawks ML tonight.Comment -
i took wash HEAVY today but bought to +12. thank godComment -
I have been getting nailed recently. This is a hell of a bad streak for me.Comment -
got that cavs 2nd half
it wasnt a tapeworm!!!

i cant believe miami that is just unreal and KILLS me JUST KILLS MEComment -
Don't you hate it when teams only play good against good teams... play like that EVERY game.Bet To WinComment -
sac +5 tomorrow night, 3rd straight for ATL on the road before they head to Charlotte then back home vs Denver, if the Hawks get the W tonight I like Sac tomorrow (esp +13) Roag? milkshake?Comment -
Danny - I went 0-4 2nite and down about 6 units 2nite...I wouldn't ask me!
With that said...SAC has had some really close games and have played relatively well. ATL looks for real though. I'd have to see how they do 2nite.
I am not going to play a game for a day or two unless a few lines scream at me....2nite was just too frustrating...
actually i hit one of my teasers - looks like dallas came back .... so lucky... so only lost 2 units today....il take it...2day was just AWFULComment -
We get them tomorrow guys!!! Also, remember that we are only 6 days away from college bball!!!!!Comment -
OK fellas....looks go over our stats after week 1!
For me:
Straight Bets:
0-1
-2.2 units
O/U Bets:
1-2
-2.2 units
Small Parlays (1-4 teams)
0-1
-1.0 units
Large Parlays (5-8 teams)
0-3
-3.0 units
3 team teasers:
4-2
+4.1 units
4 team teasers:
2-0
+4.0 units
6 team tease:
0-1
-1.0 units
2nd Half bets:
2-0
+2.5 units
Total: +1.2 units
Notes:
6-2 on 3/4 team teasers + 8.1 units
0-4 on parlays -4.0 units
Down 5.9 units on all non-tease bets
The PHO@MIA cost me 4.2 units. Outscored 29-15 in the fourth at home. Sigh
The DAL@LAL cost me 8.2 units.
Was really confident in both of those but they missed. Would love to be up more than 1.2 stinking units but after the very first week I can't complain. Going to stick with 3/4 team teasers mainly for the next week or two until I really get a feel for the games.
Roag/Haser - any advice from looking these stats besides stay away from the parlays??
Though one big parlay that hits this year will pay off a lot of the little ones. And once college basketball rolls around and there are a lot more games to choose from...I'm sure we will hit some!!
BOL to everyone! Let's keep this thread rolling and make some $$$!Comment -
NBA thoughts from the first week:
LAL - No Pau...will revise later...N/A
Bucks - Going to be ATS MONSTERS this year. Skiles is one of the top 4 or 5 coaches in the league. Gets his guys to play INCREDIBLY hard. Jennings so far (VERY early) looks LEGIT. 2-1 ATS this year (early) but I really think we can milk these guys.
Denver - Title contenders IMO. Right there with the Spurs as #2 in the West. JR coming back. Think they win 55-58 games this year.
Utah and NO - Bad teams. Totally have taken a step down. Still think Utah will win their fair share of home games but will get rocked on the road. NO is so bad. Hard to consistently bet against them because of their talent but..
BOS - Ride them while they hot
ORL - Lost 2nite 2 DET (good call Roag!) but still think they are legit and clear cut #2 in the East.
OKC - ATS monsters as well first half of the year. Think the public will be on them in the 2nd half. Get your $$$ in now!
NY - Do not touch
CHA - Thinking about just pounding some unders on them the next week or two. These guys score like a WNBA team...
CLE - Not as good as last year but don't see CHI or WASH overtaking them this year. Possibly ATL?
ATL - Thought they were going to slow down this year but with Crawford off the bench...they have looked great. Want to see them a little more though.
Thoughts?Comment -
OK I'm picking a lot of winners but getting nowhere because of the Pacers. I think I'll just play straight bets for a few days unless something really looks tempting for a teaser.
Tomorrow I like:
Phoenix/Orlando over anything
Washington ML
Houston ML
Dallas minus whatever and the under
Atlanta (sorry, Sacramento sucks and Atlanta will win this game)Comment -
Good hit Roag, by the time that i saw your post, first quarter had just ended and Hawks were trailing a lot of points. I got my ML at +400,GOOD CALL.
Comment -
milkshake, you're doing just fine. It's been a whacky start to the season, that Lakers/Mavs game killed most of the betting world.Comment -
milkshake, good analysis of the teams. Ride Boston and Denver!Comment -
I'm not going to dick around, only 1 big play for me tomorrow:
Washington Wizards -3
$150 to win $125Comment -
even tho i mentioned that detroit does well vs orl below i never thot for a second that det could pull it off tonight;; orl can bury this tm but they sucked today;; i remember from cocknocker that if an important player is out, play that tm anyway;; but i could not do it;;
its stupid
redd is out but mil cover the number
rip is out but det cover the number;;
wow
pts to ponder;;
utah is allowing 108 per game
lal have won 9 straight vs okc
chi has won 7 straight at home vs mil
det has won 19 of 24 vs orlando
por has won 9 of 10 at home vs atlComment -
Roag, whats your thoughts on your pick? All stats favors Miami but you might be seeing something that I dont. Is it because of Wizards would be putting all their effort at home because they had a great chance beating the Cavs but unfortunately didn't come through? or just Miami relies only to Wade? tksComment -
my faves played like girls today at -5.5 adjusted spread;; only 4of9 faves covered this number;; only 2 of my selected 5 did the job;;
todays faves at -5.5 that i like are;;
den-1.9-just too good W
bos-1.71-won 4 games by avg of 19pts W
lal-1.66-have to give em a chance L
chi-1.55-no redd L
orl-1.76-carter prob;; rip out L
pays 15-1
AT 15-1 I WANT TO WIN ONE(1) PARLAY A WEEK;; 5TM PARLAY ASSUMED;;
Q1; HOW DO THE MAGIC PLAY LIKE GIRLS
Q2; HOW DO THE BULLS PLAY LIKE GIRLS? THEY BEAT UP THE SPURS AT HOME
Q3; HOW DO THE LAKERS PLAY LIKE GIRLS? KOBE AND ARTEST SHOULD ROLL OKC BY THEMSELVES

I like Pacers +5 and a possible ML play too.Comment -
OK after calming down from last night I am seriously thinking of taking the Pacers ML tonight against the Knicks. Somebody give me a good reason why I shouldn't. The Pacers haven't started 0-4 since 1988 and are pissed. I like pissed teams.Comment -
Yeah they are terrible, but they're playing the Knicks who are, well, the Knicks. If the Pacers were ever going to break their losing streak, it would be tonight.Comment -
