Nice little parlay perhaps....

I like Washington and Philly to cover their respective game spreads.
I like these to cover the 1H spread:
GSW
Charlotte

2daBank · 02-19-10, 02:40 AM

all sounds good to me...GS probably bigger than most

Wade Dwayne · 02-19-10, 02:41 AM

philly looks good

RDeFaz · 02-19-10, 02:41 AM

I don't think the injuries with golden state matters lately once they start making shots they don't stop especially those 3 pointers

Hey Wilforth i noticed you are really into first half's in all sports- why arent you more into second halfs when you have a better advantage with more viewing and stronger lines?

JumpoffJoeBeezy · 02-19-10, 02:44 AM

Well I know in college hoops I DREAD the second half..

Reasons:
1) My record with 1H dogs in basketball (especially college basketball) is better than my record with anything else.
2) Generally speaking, dogs bark more in the 1H of all sports than in the whole game. The reason is that the better teams show up more often in the 2H. So the good teams don't mind trailing in the 1H. The thing with the 2H though is that when a favorite team loses the 1H, you're not sure if they'll bounce back in the 2H or if they're having a bad day. So I like to generally stay away from 2Hs.

cant argue with that Wilforth....ive had lot of college hoops dogs piss away nice halftime leads in the second

2daBank · 02-19-10, 04:02 AM

then again every time i try the 1st half thing my team waits till the half to show up

It happens very often. You find a 10-point dog even winning the 1H SU and then go on to lose the 2H by a huge margin thereby failing to cover the game spread.

good tip to remember wilforth. i'll keep that in mind next time i net on 1h or 2h for that matter. thanks

Just try to keep track of how many times the Lakers cover the 1H spread as a home favorite (of course, they're always favorites at home). When they have their full roster (including Kobe). They hardly cover 1H spreads at home. What they usually do is win the 1Q and then lose the 2Q such that the road dog covers the 1H spread.

The baseball season is coming. The Yankees are also good at not covering the the FF spread at home. What they mostly do is fall behind in the FF and then put up a lot of runs around the 7th and 8th inning. That's why going Under in the FF of Yankee home games is profitable in the long run.

Irish Lumberjack · 02-19-10, 08:12 AM

GS has the best shot IMO.

Glitch · 02-19-10, 08:24 AM

philly and washington. that is all.

warriors will cover for the entire game then fall apart in the 4th.

THEGREAT30 · 02-19-10, 08:33 AM

atleast 2 cover good day

rake922 · 02-19-10, 09:01 AM

Bobcats will win by alot

JMUplayer · 02-19-10, 09:14 AM

Why would anyone like the wizards here other than the Nuggets are coming off a big win vs. Cleveland.

benjy · 02-19-10, 09:43 AM

I'd be leaning Charlotte, Minny & GS but my leans lately have been worse than most downhillers in Vancouver.

3-for-3 so far. Played CHA; chickened out on WASH and PHI.

HoulihansTX · 02-19-10, 09:53 PM

Great thread.

Awesome foresight too.
