Lucky streak so far.

[Gopi-1]

i just got home too like 2 hours ago from school.. I'm still studying.. graduating this year.. 6 years? thats a long time! Well it hasn't really changed much just the weather, it gets hotter every year. Everyone's fussing about the election and all. We do have a new casino, resorts world..haha

my bookie closes around 12.. anyway ill give you my picks and you can read them when you wake up..

My early picks are :

Chicago: I think that this will be a pretty close game. But i have to side on Chicago on this one. They have something going for them after the win against miami. i hope that boosts not only their confidence but their mentality and chemistry as well

I'm on it if Joekim Noah is back, but he's not. I'll pass on this one...

NY: Sac won the last two meetings by double digits. They almost own the Knicks! But the kings are getting +5?? I'll go Ny this time. I bet they've prepared a game plan for this one.

The Knicks' heart and soul (Nate Ronbinson) was listed as day-to-day for today's game, groin injury. I think the lines (-5) for the Knicks was all about their last game, and they gave the Cavs a scare before succumbing in the end. Another stay away game for me, need confirmation on Nate here...

Oklahoma: i'm riding them till they lose a game..

I was high on OKC for the past few games now, but I think this one is a toss-up. Your bet here is good, but I'll tell you the same thing if you went Portland's way as well...

BOL on our plays today bro!

[Gopi-1]

I couldn't get any confirmation if Nate Robinson is playing today, been
searching the net for the past 10 hours now. I smell money here...

[Gopi-1]

Atlanta could be playing without Joe Johnson today too, and the Grizz are a tough out at home...

[Gopi-1]

The Rockets' Trevor Ariza could be out for tonight's game too, they'll be playing the Heat (-5) on the road...

[JaySotto]

5-1 today
26-9 total

Must be a glitch Jay, just email them about their error.

It was an a'ight day for me, won 3 (Jazz, Kings and Denver), but lost two (Wolves and a parlay). Still up yesterday, some chump change. I usually try to play at least one parlay (4-team parlay usually) a day, and hope that all the stars are aligned for my 4-teamer!

[ron.angeles]

at 10 30 est ( we got less than 2 hours left)

[Gopi-1]

at 10 30 est ( we got less than 2 hours left)

They close at 11:30 pm? Are they legal or illegal?

[JaySotto]

@ron are you from manila too?
@Gopi you know how it is here.. haha mine is illegal, i dont think we have a legit bookie here.. Remember the NBA betting scandal in xavier before? Or the one with jaworski's son..

[JaySotto]

Okay ron i have some first choices here.. i dont really have writeups yet.. and im still reviewing them..

here they are : atlanta, orl, cha, det and suns.. i might change my mind later.. but so far those are my picks

[Gopi-1]

Those were the days.

I used to live a block away from a racetrack (San Lazaro), and there are illegal bookies on every little nook and cranny you can find! The good thing about them is they give incentives on their bettors, unlike here where you have to pay the vig/juice if you lose. It was a cutthroat competition for the competing bookies back then. You place a 100 bet, you only pay 80, or bet 125, but only pay 100. Good deal huh?

Is it still the same Jay?

[JaySotto]

now there's usually a minimum bet. for my bookie its 1k.. if you win you get 90%.. payments are done on mondays..

[JaySotto]

i think i'd stick to my first picks:

atlanta

orlando

cha

det

pho

[ron.angeles]

same rule of bookie jay and yup from manila.....
my picks are actually almost the same:
atlanta

27-13 total

[Gopi-1]

It really doesn't feel right last night, that's why I laid low. I'm taking the 2 favorites tonight, plus the UNDER on both the Cavs and the Nuggets game. Hang in there Jay, there will be good and bad days, ALWAYS. GL!

[ron.angeles]

but scared about denver... because everyone says its denver which makes me suspicious... and this week all underdogs are winnin as usual the law of allstar ... impossinle is possible.... darn! so confused for tom... help me gopi and jay if u can on suggesting wat to do thanx man...

[ron.angeles]

I don't know if this bit of information might help you decide who to bet on, but the last time the Spurs played at home before they went on their current 8 game road trip, they got their ass handed to them by the Nuggets (89-103). They are currently on their 5th road game and the weary Spurs will be playing at the Mile High City, meaning, high altitude, not a good place for grandpas.

[Gopi-1]

and confused about cavs orlando... since whenever i go against orlando i lose and for orlando i lose .... so annoyed especially with this week it has been horrible !!!

... and here's something about the "TNT" trend:


The home team has gone 11-2 in the 13 games.

The favorite has gone 10-3 straight up. The three underdogs that have won outright were the Mavericks at Boston, Bulls at Boston and Trail Blazers versus San Antonio last Thursday.

Gamblers have watched the favorites and underdogs produce a 6-6-1 stalemate.

Total players have seen the "under" go 9-4 during this run.

One other trend that has stood out relates to the Spurs. San Antonio has been on TNT six times this season and it has gone 1-5 over this span. And the club lost another game on Thursday this year to the Jazz.

[JaySotto]

okay i have thought about this long and hard.

i really really really want to go for denver. but i;m going for spurs
picks:

Sas: Popovich is a great coach. If you review the scores of sas games, every time sas loses by a blowout, the next game is usually a winner or a loss but within single digits. After a bad bad performance against the lakers. A veteran team, a veteran coach would have made some adjustment. Going into the all star break, i think the denver team will be a bit lax. i'm guessing that sas wants this more.

Orlando: These guys will grind it out tomorrow. Carter is starting to get hot. Too much points is given to the magic. Because shaq is playing a good game, they would match dwight and shaq one on one on this one. And ive got a feeling that howard wants revenge.
