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.

I feel like no one was being tricky today. rather just trying to balance the books. I don't see the point on a day with one game between subpar team and everyone is watching the BCS..

see guys they moved it 199 at all shops at closing time. they moved it up all day slowly and then back down to get over backers suckered in. too bad i didnt play today
glad to see those who cashed. texas got fukked with the injury

Damn.. missed the 2nd half play of this BCS game. Any more recommendations for tonight?

MV · 01-07-10, 11:11 PM

im liking the Lakers -3 @ portland. Lakers should bounce back and Portland's injuries are starting to catch up to them.

hedgejob · 01-07-10, 11:13 PM

Lakers without Gasol

lakerboy · 01-07-10, 11:14 PM

careful with lakers they always struggle in rose garden. what about spurs

nmr123321 · 01-07-10, 11:22 PM

Hey Lakerboy, new to the forum and i've been tailing you the last few days, wanted you to know how much i appreciate you posting your picks like this. I don't want to just come in here as a lurker, take your plays and disappear. I'll try my best to add to the discussion and give you as much feedback as i can

What do you think about the Raptors at +1.5 tomorrow? They've been red hot the last games and have been much better on the road in general. Philly is also a pretty good matchup for the Raps, they don't really shoot 3's or shoot them well and Philly this year has been pretty bad defensively in the half court. I love the Raps tomorrow

lakerboy · 01-07-10, 11:26 PM

thanks no opinion on that game yet.

rochestertitans · 01-08-10, 12:09 AM

How does gradually moving it up and then droping it back down sucker people into an over play? Because people feel fortunate that it dropped because they wanted to play the over to begin with?

MarkTX · 01-08-10, 12:46 AM

damn..... didn't check back cause I thought you weren't playin tonights games.... - nice picks ...I am trying to soak up some of the wisdom nuggets you're dropping on this thread LB. Thanks!

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...

This is exactly what im thinking. How can you ever know WHY the line moved? Did the books move it as a trick? Or did they move it because real money came in forcing them to move it?

NO man think about it. The line was set at 197 at the open. They moved up cause everyone was betting over. Then they started dropping near the end back to the original line cause they knew all along it was an under and if they dropped it they knew more of those over players would play over at even a lower #. Just think of this next time you see a total move back and forth it goes both ways.
