Who wants my NBA plays?

[Goat Milk]

lol it was a joke man
no one is telling you what to do

lol it's str8 bro i dnt give a fvck just sayin when I challenge somethin I'm usually right so I don't really get the joke bro (btw not doubting the lakers right now, i'll have a pick for that tmrw). but w/e u can take my advice or leave it.

[migz]

Thanks PHX!

[Goat Milk]

lol to be fair, you do this on every play. Doubt, then go "not saying XXXX isn't the right call". All your bases are always covered. Can't lose! Haha if only sportsbooks would accept that as a wagering method.

That just means I wouldn't play it if i doubt it, or i wouldn't touch that game cuz it's just too risky.

go ahead and go through the thread if you want, there's several things I challenged Thunder +1 second half today, Nuggets would win today, Suns would win today (wanted to bet pac) and that Boston -8 was a bad pick yesterday.

u should get ur facts str8, when i'm wrong, i say i'm wrong

[sweetjones55]

What do you mean they shouldnt have won? They did, it was a game of streaks and the nuggets won. You argument of OKC playing B2B holds no validity because every team in the NBA plays back to back all of the time. The nuggets look to be playing good ball again. Yesterday before their trip to OKC they went and visited Coach Karl and i think that motivated them to play better, there is a good article about it on the web somewhere.

Anyways, not saying the lakers are not the play here i'd still like to look into in a little more. But what happened last time the Lakers came into denver? They won by 26, beat LA in LA by 13 then last lost to Lake by 6.

What I am trying to say is that the Nuggets with 3 days rest should have blown out the Thunder on B2B with OT traveling from Utah. They were down almost the whole 2H to OKC.

I don't think Nuggets are so hot lately. They are 2-9-1 last 12 ATS, that's horrible IMO.

[lakerboy]

Guys easy- I like Goat milk he has brought some different opinions in here and i can tell he has knowledge of the game. Boston last night was a horrible play and he was right, just like OKC was a bad play tonight.

Outstanding day, LB. Wish I'd been around to tail a few. You are the king.

Damn it's about time I get some respect here. I'm only trying to help you guys man cuz I really know a lot about ball and win a lot of money. Every1 else likes to hate. Good looks lakerboy

[shari91]

It's all cool Goat.

Not speaking for anyone else obv, but I think sometimes it just comes down to a bit of a miscommunication problem and the fact that everyone is really full on about keeping this thread friendly and most of all polite after the dramas with LB's other thread and MT's.

Providing an alternate point of view is always a good thing if it's backed up - I think sometimes people are just wary of those who come in here to argue with LB for the sake of it, post crap like "Portland under is toast" (or something like that earlier), and just to call us all a bunch of sheep/minions/brainless, etc.

Again, not speaking for anyone else, but I know I don't follow all of LB's plays and I don't think most of the regular posters in here do either. And that's no disrespect to him but at least for me it's because I start with large units at the beginning of the week and can't really be tossing around x2 on everything. But it's the fact that he's willing to share them, back them up with an explanation if asked and even come in and bloody apologise if he thinks it's going to hell/it loses that really makes this a cool thread.

Keep posting your challenges when you see a bet you think may not be the right one. It's all good. That's what makes this a learning experience for everyone. But just out of curiousity, do you back any of LB's plays ie Clips tonight? No disrespect, just curious.

I want different opinions in here as this is a discussion thread- i have no problem with folks questioning plays- paco and i talked alot about the suns game and we gave each other many angles but no one was gonna change my mind or his. My big plays are mapped out well in advance not on gameday. NO ONE is gonna change my mind on a big play . NEVER. BTW i have 3 more of them before season ends.

[shari91]

Outstanding day, LB. Wish I'd been around to tail a few. You are the king.

Where WERE you today? I was waiting for you to pop in and say you'd tailed something. Pretty sad when my day's not complete unless I see certain names even when I'm operating in stealth mode.

Hope you still cashed today!!

If I had more points to throw you for this entire post, I would.

LB/Paco Minion 2011 bash in Australia? What do y'all think??

Ya but they are 3-0 in their last 3. I hate betting on the lakers now cause they are getting more and more unpredictable. Its used to be that you knew they'd should up every night and play with heart, that doesnt happen anymore. We'll see though, i definietly agree that the lakers are going to try and avenge their blowout to the nugs last time in Denver but again they have nothing to play for and the nuggets have everything to play for.

[Goat Milk]

yes- I tailed his under Portland game. Overall i went 7-3 today. I always make my own picks, but I know Laker is knowledgeable so I enjoy reading his opinions and posts.

But for the record, I never make any of those posts like "something is toast" or "you guys lost." I usually only make positive comments during games, and always try to be optimistic. I always like to see people succeed so plz don't get the wrong idea.

[S.K.M.]

Congrats on a great night LB

very nice night LB Appreciate the Plays

Well Denver backers can claim that the Nuggets are 32-6 at home and that the Lakers aren't the same team without Bynum starting because they have to bring their big time sparkplug bench player Odom into the starting lineup. Lakers are 2-4 SU last 6 with losses by 19, 17, 8, and 16. The Lakers we know never lose by 10+ let alone 3 times in the last 6 games.

Moving.

I made some plays early this morning -- did OK in baseball, and pretty much broke even in basketball. Got burned by the Heat/76ers under. Two damn points. Also took the GS/MIN over -- was really surprised that didn't hit.

Probably won't be around much the rest of the week. I'll try to check in from time to time, but it will likely be late like this.

[ScarFace_1990]

Thank you lb!I really appreciate your willingness to share your picks with us. I have been following you a couple of months and today you really saved my day. After loosing a considerable amount of my bankroll playing the Champions League games( i was on +0,5 on both) i wasn't able to cap the upcoming NBA game (since i was pissed of on how bad i played these two games) and i just followed you on your two stronger picks without doubting you a moment. Thanks my buddy.

[shari91]

I'm glad you got on the Portland under! Still don't know how LB sorted that one out, especially after FireMan came in and posted the scores of their last 3 match-ups (I admit I got a bit nervous then).

And I apologise if it came across that I was referring to you when I posted about those who come in for one post a week just to try to rain shiat when it's obvious we're all backing the same thing. I didn't mean you at all. Was just using that as an example as to why people may get their backs up.

We're all here to make cash and I really don't care how we do it, or what games we're on, as long as at the end of the day we're all up somehow. In case I didn't communicate it properly - I quite like your posts. You back up what you say, and always send me running off to research just a little bit more so I can make up my own mind. And at least for me, that's all I want. I've been doing this for 20yrs on my own, with everyone giving me so much grief for being a chick who bets on sports, so the more help/advice/whatever I can get from y'all so I can continue to make enough to stay home with my baby, the better.

You bring a lot of much needed level-headedness to the board, shari. Very rational.

[sweetjones55]

Another interesting note on the Lakers/Nuggets. The total is 203.5 which is the lowest total ever in Denver against LAL in a longggg time. Nuggets are a high scoring team so i think this total being so low is very telling of the game. I think Vegas is expecting a slower paced game than usual favoring the Lakers big time IMO. The team total for the Nuggets will probably be like 100-102 which is VERY low for them. Denver averages 107ppg and I am sure they average more at home.

[sweetjones55]

L.A. Lakers 101, Denver 120 May 25

No need to go that far back, 11/13/09 Denver beat them by 26, 105-79. Vegas responds to this by making Denver an even smaller favorite at home tonight?

LB I think I know this 3 more of them you talking about but don't worry I just keep my mouth shut. I'll just wait how huge this plays would be. Thanks Buddy

Good find SJ. Denver's defense has stepped up in their last couple of games, its seems they are making more of a point to play some D. Even without Anderson, the Nuggets and allowed only 92 ppg to opponents in their last 3.

EVERYBODY PLEASE READ

Just want to post this thread here because I know everybody IN THE WORLD views all the opinions in this thread.

I have 2 sport accounts, One has $2,600 and the other one has $870.00

LAST NIGHT I MADE THE BIGGEST ERROR A PUNTER CAN MAKE.

Sports book No1 $2600 on MBL Cardinals v Reds Over 7.5runs @$1.80 ( RETURN $4680) and
Sports book No2 $870 on MBL Phillies Beat Nationals ML @ 1.60 ( RETURN $1392)

SO I WENT ALL-IN BOTH ACCOUNTS FOR NO APPARENT REASON

The fact that I WON both bets is irrelevant. The fact that I risked all my money IS .

Please do not respond to this with comments such as " GOOD WIN BRO " " WELL DONE " " NICE WIN " etc etc. It was a fool hardy play and to make matters worse was placed some 13 hours before the start of these games.

WARNING TO ALL EXPERIENCED AND NOVICE BETTORS

Do not ever ever ever allow yourself to go ALL-IN with your bankroll. I was not persuaded by any threads here or elsewhere on these selections. I picked them myself. The previous night I did get done in the NBA to around $190, so I figured I would SLAM the bookies tomorrow with 2 BIG BETS.

ALL-IN is not a option.
BUT YOU WILL SEE threads in SBR with claims of LOCK OF THE CENTURY and GUARENTEED or 50 UNIT BOMB.

It is easy to get caught up here when you see LB, PACO, SJ and shoe slamming winners BUT TO THE NEW GUYS DO NOT PUSH THINGS TO FAR TO QUICKLY.

Some may say " WHY COMPLAIN YOU WON ". True but what about TOMORROW or the DAY AFTER. Maybe even NEXT MONTH. I do want to be around next month.
HAVE A PLAN AND STICK TO IT.
MONEY MANAGEMENT KEEP IT TIGHT.

Apart from that GL to all and may continued success became a WAY OF LIFE.

[knightof7]

thanks for the great picks tonight LB

[refrain87]

Agreed, if you have a small bankroll, and see LB put like x10 units. Please make sure it isn't your whole bankroll. Regardless on how confident LB or any other capper is. You should never risk it all, because anything can happen in any game.... ESPECIALLY in the NBA.. haha.

Don't get that thought that Vegas doesn't know this and do get the thought that Vegas is giving the public an even sweeter line at Denver than ever. Those two blowouts support my play IMO. Don't you think after a blowout like that, that the line should be higher tonight not the lowest it's ever been in Denver in two years?

Lines spot on adjusted with Martin out

[lakerboy]

The line is okay. I personally think the Lakers will do enough here for the win. Its not a game of any meaning for them obviously but no reason to hand it over.
