Who wants my NBA plays?

**lakerboy** · 01-07-10, 05:58 PM

See the bobcats are going back down to 3.5 as more money is coming in on them. They want you to bet on bobcats and over.

HATE it when I make my picks, then see you guys are on the other side.... He said he's playing his SBR points only so.... I see a BIT going our way - lol

thanks Dex - I remember seeing that bama play of yours, I believe it is a pretty big play for you.

I agree with you on Bama, I've had the Alabama and Florida matchups highlighted as I view them as the class of college football. 1, for their talent, size and speed and also who they have on the sidelines. The line movement I have been seeing has made think a little more about the selection, the unpredictability of these bowl games has me questioning everything. I backed TCU the other night, they demolished a very tough schedule this year, bowl opponents a combined 6-0 I believe. I was able to take something from that game and that is the importance of preparation for these bowl games, I think it was pretty clear that Boise's preparation was a lot stronger then TCU's.

With Saban on the sidelines and finally breaking through the Gator barrier my initial instinct is to side with Bama.

On to the total. I remember the nebraska game well. Combined with the way a lot of these big games have been going, I think the under is the rational play and almost expected at this point, which really scares me. I've seen the % on sbr climb up to 53% on the under and I expect that trend to continue as we get closer to kickoff. Does anyone even have a legitimate argument for how this game SHOULD go over? Only thing I can think of is a couple trick-plays and defensive scores to go in range.

**jdhender** · 01-07-10, 06:16 PM

LOVE the knicks tonight, thanks for the picks LB

This is what I need to learn.... How in the faaack LB deduces this shit from the line movement.... I know I'm on the square side tonight, but understanding how a good bettor comes to the conclusion of making a wager off of line movement (eg LAL @ LAC last night) and again tonight if NY takes it, would be very nice.

ive been trying to learn that for years now......still no luck...so i just leave it to the sharps....

**shoebox** · 01-07-10, 06:34 PM

I'm squarely on the bobcats too!

and the over to boot!

**paco** · 01-07-10, 06:38 PM

**chrislau86** · 01-07-10, 06:41 PM

Hmm my book moved the O/U back to 199, should I still go with the under?

Well then,I purpose a "Think Like Laker Boy" Thread... One in which some good folks can post what they have learned from tailing LB's picks and more improtantly, WHY he came to that decision in the first place.....
His head is obbviously 4-in-1, so if we put like 10 - 800 of our heads together, we should be able to come to some sort of consensus -

LB - you are the man bro.....

**shoebox** · 01-07-10, 06:46 PM

All hail lb

**cahustler** · 01-07-10, 06:49 PM

hey guys im stepping out in a half hour or so but from what i read texas +4 is the play as of now. the smart money is still on them. in the nba game the under(200) is the play, the books have moved the # up on purpose all day and will move it back to 199 by gametime to get more people on the over. the bobcats are not the play. they are comingoff a big win over cleveland and will fade. if you can get ny at -3.5 go for it .

shocked you didnt take the dog bobcats after all that late money that came in.

im big on fading team off upset wins.....i do like that angle - but i just salivate when i see this knicks team as a favorite.

how do you determine when the books are trying to "trick" you or not?

im on the side of the fence that says the books move lines when money comes in. plain and simple. perhaps sometimes they get tricky, but if you're following lines, its a guessing game on what their intentions are.

the way i look at that line movement down...the books want equal action (asking for more knick bets) so they can collect their taxes...
