unbelievable

alamo · 02-22-10, 01:24 AM

Took Nets +6......they lose a 16 point lead and not only lose but don't cover.
Took Hawks -5....they lose an 18 point lead and lose outright.
Took Blazers -1.....they lose a 25 point lead and ????
Oh yeah, now my under is in jeopardy......

Would you believe I did the exact same bets. I'm just in shock that I got the under up. I actually thought that was fcked too. I just checked the mirror. My hair has gone from brown to grey after tonight.

Worst scoring I've ever seen! I couldn't even get my 2H over even with OT? huh? Double fukked! We will get em tomorrow...

By my tally, add IND, NJ, LAC and SAC to that list. They simply can't be trusted -- even as big underdogs. You just never know with some of these teams.

Wow. That sucks. Three really bad beats in one night.

portland...my god...that was a layup. and they missed. holy f**k

alamo · 02-22-10, 01:30 AM

Lakerboy, Bet365 had the line at 198 about 20mins ago in the Jazz hawks game. Its now down to 197 ?

I pounded 198.... Should I pound 197 ? Im surprised to see the line going south as opposed to north !

Jazz/Hawks over 197.5 (10x)

Another play i have targeted for awhile. Trust me the total will climb. Dont blame me later if you dont get this #. This one is good to go.

sir LB if this goes up to 198.5 or 199 can i still grab it?

lakerboy · 02-22-10, 01:33 AM

Oh well i guess i should have followed Durrr- he had Utah ML- he is the best on the NBA forum.

lakerboy · 02-22-10, 01:34 AM

The line in the Jazz game tomorrow went down cause of the ot in Portland. Lets wait until tomorrow and see how it goes. If it drops a lot we can always buy back and lose nothing. I still feel the play is good.

Bud, please do not second be-rated your handicap skills, you got bad beat and thats the end of it. Durr i respect, hes a good caller and he has been in the business for a while, I respect both you guys and you both have your ON DAYS and OFF DAYS. In my books, you called the right play and you play that over 50 plays, 80% of them will come through. Its just like POKER, you got rivered and bad luck. I went w/ UTAH due to my system giving me a -1.5 edge in UTAH favour and it came through... but doesnt mean I would be called the best NBA Picker in SBR. End of day we got lucky, (the people who were on UTAH).

But its the NBA and you gotta be able to handle the swings. I had money on ATL to cover -5 and blew up in my face.

Your Handicap rating still at peak spot at the moment (went down from 131.6 to 129). Still good in my books and keep the picks coming.

I will be analysing the POR OVER 197.5 game tommorrow to double check my stats. PM me if your interested in what I decide

Thanks LB. One question which you might clarify for me. If I bet deep Over 197 and the total for whatever reason drops to say 193 I assume I'm in a worse position on the other hand if it goes up Im in a strong pos. Would that be correct ?

Its just that when you say "If it drops a lot we can always buy back and lose nothing" Im a bit

by that...
Thx in advance bud

It wont drop that much and if does drop that much just bet over 193. I believe in my call. I see zero defense tomorrow. The first meeting was low scoring and usually its the opposite in the second go around. Wait 5-6 hours and if you dont like what you are seeing just take the under. I doubt it will drop more than a point in 5 hours.

Trev Dog · 02-22-10, 01:48 AM

Decided I wasnt going to bet against the jazz again until they lost 2 in a row ATS. Its worked rather well so far although it was EXTREMELY difficult tonight with everyone aiming at the Blazers. (esp. LB) Whats the line tomorow bro? Im taking it regARDLESS. Jazz will cover at home...B2B or not! Esp. with the Hawks on a B2B as well. this one is looking VERY strong! And Ill be right there at energy solutions witnessing from the 10th row. Just need to decide on the units LB!

ikerfi · 02-22-10, 01:52 AM

Thanks Lb....!!!!

Im skeptical about this pick, the Under is looking quite attractive from the stats. But then again means nothing and the way ATL playing first half looked very impressive. Its just there 4th quarter im worried about. Im hoping Crawford will get his rythem back and Bibby/Smith get into DDigits.

At this stage, they definitely have scorers on both side of the ball.

Problem is, for guys like this, if they already went big on over 197 before this happened and then go big again at over 193 if it gets that low, and then the game finishes 98-93, they're doubly effed.

I still think you're right even given the odd circumstances of tonight with both teams, but you have to be pretty confident double dipping on the over.

As for the second part of your answer, what if someone went big at over 197, it dropped to 193, they took the under to hedge, then it wound up in no-man's land between 194 and 196?

fsugolf · 02-22-10, 02:00 AM

don't forget the 197 and 193 to push one and win other

That's a hell of a risk, giving that many points to a damn good and damn angry team, when Okur's not around and your starters played as many minutes as they did tonight.

1st half over may be worth considering.

ikerfi · 02-22-10, 09:06 AM

ATL-UTA Bet365 now 196....

bballs84 · 02-22-10, 09:19 AM

BOL today LB

JR007 · 02-22-10, 09:37 AM

Thanks for the help

dimon · 02-22-10, 09:54 AM

portland is a joke

lakerboy · 02-22-10, 09:54 AM

The total has dropped to 196 but pinny is still showing the over as the -110 play. Im sticking with this play. If i want i have the option to cancel with my local but i dont see me doing that.

kobefanatic · 02-22-10, 09:59 AM

sir LB i got atl @ utah over 196.5 is it good to pound this one?

ikerfi · 02-22-10, 10:01 AM

Thanks Lb

I have it in 197.....

you may be in position for a decent middle if it keeps dropping...

JRswish · 02-22-10, 11:05 AM

the line isn't up at bodog yet... maybe i'll just take the over at 3x if it moves alot

bringdownthehous · 02-22-10, 11:14 AM

damnn I got it at 198 when you told everyone to pound the over last night..I put 5 Units on it too..I figure maybe Ill ride it out..but everything points to the under
