Don Logan Goes Down to Georgia, Lookin' For An O/U Bet to Steal

[don logan]

Memphis/Atlanta UNDER 206

This number's a shade high, I think 200 is more appropriate. Public anticipates a high scoring game so oddsmakers have gone overboard a bit between a couple of teams that rarely play each other. Hawks always a threat to go over if they sink a gazillion jumpers, but I think both teams have been playing a bit over their heads offensively and odds favor betting UNDER here...

[don logan]

Line is still 207 at Stations in Vegas. Best line I see, no surprise they're behind the ball again. Typical.

my local has it now at 206.5

but i see value in taking the over. atl has been lighting it up lately, and memphis themselves avg over 100 ppg. why would these trends stop tonight? when i saw the total go down, i put a little more on the over.

[don logan]

Oddsmakers don't seem to think Memphis is good for 100 points against Hawks D, and I don't either. But Atlanta needs a frenzy of made jumpers to put this thing over, imo. So I'm gambling here that O/U is set too high. Both teams have also played at a progressively slower pace into the season. Point spread looks dead-on to me fwiw. GL either way.

More Dixieland action for you NHL studs:

Carolina +125 vs Dallas

Canes defense vs Stars offense should be interesting and determine outcome of this game, imo. Dunno what has happened to Carolina's goaltending this year, it was so good last year. But keeping Dallas outta the net hasn't been a problem for most teams going back to last season. Odds are good enough to bet home dog against a really sub-par Dallas squad.

Ward was out for along time.

Took the over myself, not really in love with the play. I think if there is a sharp side here its the under, I've just seen the Hawks go apesh*t at home on the offensive side so many times that I had to play the over. Good luck to you Don, I like your side of the action more than mine.

The referees assigned to this matchup, when the O/U is set at 205+, are 3-11 (3 overs, 11 unders).

[jaymac82980]

i will admit i took this over as part of a 3 team parlay, and I loved it - i will say there is still much game left, but if memphis has another quarter like this one, it doesnt have a chance

[Razz_Donkey]

Really close call, as an over backer I was lucky to get a big second half. Sorry to see that happen to you Don, still think you had the right side here.

Carolina Ice Girls in rare off-ice moment:

I actually bet U207 here in Vegas, so at least I didn't lose a bet. But pretty typical of the way I've been losing games lately. Just for that no Grizzles/Hawks dance team photos

[jaymac82980]

i took over 207, and i initially liked it. but it cames as a push. i wish i could say good call, but on a push i guess we both had similar calls.

however, towards tip, the total dropped and if you bet the over at 206.5, which was where it was at most places hours before and less at tip, your call would have been bad.

anyways, since you claim you had under 207 i guess we both had a push. but i didnt like your reasoning anyways. good luck next bet!

[jaymac82980]

by the way, your thread was "under 206"....so why play the hack and claim after the game that you had 207? kinda kills your credibility. slacker!

I mentioned five minutes into the thread that 207 was available. Thats what I put my greenbacks on.

Remind me again, what's my posted win/loss record? I don't even post one. If you wanna tail me and count this as a loss I have no problem with that.

cmon bro, how one particular game plays out doesn't determine whether it was a good call or not before tipoff. It's either a good call, or it isn't, regardless of the result.

Anyway you've got a pretty wide range of responses, ranging from "nice call" to "go fukk a monkey" so maybe you should learn to control your emotions a bit, bro.

dude, maybe you should keep track of what you post. thats all im saying.

i hate when people talk about one spread, and then when the game is over they push with a miracle.

you thought nobody would see the first post of 206 under! your first post called under 206 and then miraculously when the total is 207 you get a push? c'mon dude! go find brakon and talk about how to change posts! you lost!

if you look at my posts i clearly let it be known that i took over 207. you however lost your under and then posted that u - by a miracke - took the bet T 207. FUKK YOU. you lost! just admit it and we can move on!

[don logan]

ugh, thanks to one basket too many in this game, I gotta read all the garbage you keep posting in my thread.

Score this as a loss, I really don't care. Some loss anyway, they needed a miracle 2nd half to get there. What I said was that I personally bet my money on UNDER 207. I live in Vegas, dude. I ain't betting/posting simultaneously. I think 207.5 was even available in some places. If I were making a pathetic attempt to fool anyone then I would've used that number instead.

[don logan]

Anyway, I think everyone in here is aware that I posted 206 and that 206 lost. I don't deny that and no one is trying to "hide" anything, friend. But I'm not gonna respond to any more of the crap you keep unloading in here.

[jaymac82980]

your an idiot. it pisses me off when people like you start a thread with a number (under 206 in this case) and when you lose, you post, "oh well, ho hum, i got a push because i actually bet under 207. i know my post is under 206, but i bet 207 so i didnt really lose"
