RB, when you make a play on the ML, you are betting that the team you are picking wins straight up without the spread...

LB great job yesterday man.. Been keeping up with your thread for awhile now and I have been agreeing with almost all your picks lately. Was on the opposite side of that Portland and Miami game but good thing for me. (decided to switch up on Portland since they killed us last time). Read your opinions on the games tonight and will have to say I agree as well. Utah will win outright people have too much confidence in the cavs and Boston has been playing horrible at home. They start off with the lead but in the end always let it go. Good luck tonight and keep up the good work man your on FIRE!!

Ohhhhh its that simple ay, thanks cecbo for clearing that up for me....so i am guessing the only disadvantage on betting on the ML instead of a spread is that you usually dont win as much as you would if you bet the spread?

Unless you bet on the dog...like I did last night with the Lakers! They were +285. Bet 100 to win 285.

And I'd like to thank LB again for helping me feel more confident of my gut feeling along with my breakdown of the history and stats to put down more for that game.

LB (straight up), that Laker call last night was brillant. I've only been in this forum alittle over a week and you are by far the most impressive player in here (like Mexican Stallions' plays, too).
Look forward in comparing my plays to this thread. You definitely have a feel for this b-ball thang.

Thank u Jalein, I normally play only 1 or 2 parlays per day when there are 7-11 games in the card. Since I can make my picks more carefully and analize more games to find a slight edge. My single bets are $100 per game and only $50 on parlays. I totally agree with u on the facts tht parlays are waste of time, but it's just the excitments that gets me hooked, lol I don't go overboard with parlay with normal only parlay 3s and occassionally 4s, and thus far I hit about 4 parlays a week which isn't too bad. I wish I have the control like th pros here to only bet a few games but as times goes on the day while watching the games, I just can't help myself to jump on 2nd half plays, lol

You strike me to be awfully self aware which is good. I am willing to bet if you tracked your win-loss and profit that you would be waaaaaay ahead. I was where you are now and I tracked my loot and realized I was MUCH better off without the parlays. Just some respectful food for thought.

Liking the under in the cavs-jazz. The way both teams have been scoring lately the over seems like the sure bet but that's why I'm thinking under.
I don't know about bulls and celtics though.

LB's cooking up something.... believe his initial (and still possibly on) CHI plus the points, and UTH... make sure with him first though...

No public O/U (not that the forum doesn't know your stance) or too much line movement since?

Rose is out for the first half. Not a good sign, is it?

Can't be too bad if we're still up by 10. Pretty deep with kirk as a backup

kirk has actually been starting alongside rose the last 9 (6-3)....one of rose's fouls was a horrible call.
the bulls have to continue crashing the boards and getting second chance pts with no kg/wallace.....bulls have the size advantage big time.

Right, he's a starter now... but it's easy to move him to PG and bring salmons off the bench to SG. Not like we have to play pargo at pg for the remainder of the half
