JAZZ +10.5.. here's why

[Snowball]

I really like the Jazz tonight.
Final game before the big road trip for the Lakers. Mostly against weak opponents.
Look what Pau Gasol had to say:
"No partying at all," forward Pau Gasol said after scoring 14 points in the Lakers' eighth straight win in Los Angeles. "We understand we have so many home games together. I want to see us do this on the road in tougher situations against teams that are ready to play.
"Right now we're in good shape, but we've still got a long way to go."

Boozer last 3 games: 35,21,27
Jazz pts scored last 3 games: 96,101,104
He averaged 20.6 points and 13.2 boards against the Lakers in the playoffs
Don't forget Deron Williams-
Williams scored 20.2 points per game with 10.8 assists in the playoff series

Utah just beat Spurs on the road 104-101

IMO JAZZ +10.5 or however you want to play it is a GOOD BET

Battle Tested Jazz the biggest challenge Lakers have faced in weeks.
Lakers have only scored 106,110,108,108 respectively vs. Nets, Hornets, Heat Suns all those teams were road-weary and do not have the defense Utah has.

Utah +2.05 Rebound differential this year, Lakers +1.05

Something about kicking back with 10+ knowing the Lakers have their minds on the big road trip and Utah is more battle-tested in my opinion
sounds PROFITABLE to ME.

Yeah, you can never count on Lakers to cover double digit spreads with any ease, I have gone with the under 206.5 but I thought about taking the Jazz+10.5. Hopefully we both cash.

[Snowball]

Jazz are +475 on the ML i may touch a little of that also but +10.5, +13 is where I'm going
with the wad.

[Kav]

trying to see if the spread would move up a little in the jazz's favour before gametime. regardless if it does or doesnt im on jazz for a small 1 unit play. +10.5

[Snowball]

when you say unit, do you mean SBR point ? what's a unit ?
I'm new to SBR I have 70 points on the Jazz here and hundreds with my book

[ExposingLines247]

you fail to mention the defense of the lakers lately and how they have been blowing teams out of late 10 of their last 11 home games have been won by double digits.

[bustabook]

a unit can be anything.. like a standard amount...

for instance, my "unit" is $100... someone else's "unit" (perhaps with a slightly smaller bankroll) could be $50, or $10...

[Kav]

a unit is how much a person wagers each time, me personally a unit is $25.00. for everyone its different could be $50, $100 etc. so lets say i liked this game a lot and it was my top play of the day and i said im wagering 4 units on it, then that would mean im wagering $100 cause $25 x 4 = 100$.

so yeah thats would a unit means in sports betting.

[vinny808]

Too much stats. I watch the Lakers play all the time. I don't know if Boozer will be able to perform vs Gasol and Bynum. Deron definately will have a good night, as the Lakers weakness is always PG penetration and point guard scoring in general. We'll see, we'll see. The Lakers have had many double digit wins vs the Jazz in the past, we'll see if they bring it tonight.

I'm from the old school, street betting..

$5 = a "time"
$25 = "5 timer"
$100 = "20 timer"
and so on..

[pokerpro44]

i really like the jazz also.

[Snowball]

I will admit that when they buzzer-beat the Heat Friday night
I had the Lakers and perhaps I am out for revenge.
lol.

[Capybara]

I might be crazy, but you've sold me, Snowball. Let's get it!

[Snowball]

do it to it, Capy !

[Brakon00]

IM ON LAKERS -10 BIG! lakers will crush jazz....their missing kirilenko and deron williams and boozer have horrible history in LA. Lakers have won the last 3 out of 4 vs. Jazz in LA by 12+ on avg....this is an easy cover and easy $$

[nightlife32]

I'm with you on this one Snowball!

[Kav]

[SportsTerminator]

How did some get -9? Did it drop to 8.5 if that's the case then how is it -8.5 -115... I guess some opened at -8.5 while others -9...

[Mybologne]

[bustabook]

lol snowball... "5 times"... "100 times" ... haven't heard those terms since a NYC gambler who was betting with me use to say that... awesome.

[Snowball]

started at 8.5 and still 8.5 no movement on my book

[Snowball]

lol snowball... "5 times"... "100 times" ... haven't heard those terms since a NYC gambler who was betting with me use to say that... awesome.

oh yea bustabook ! I'm from RI.. I started young. My father would place the bets at the bars he went to, had bookie friends. Can't even tell you how many 5 timers and 10 timers I bet growing up.. lol.. definite connection here with the NY..
