azn624 · 03-22-10, 11:13 PM

good call on 1st half over, over for game not looking bad either

quick$ · 03-22-10, 11:13 PM

thanks lyon. Stuck with my original bet. Over 243.
Was tempted to add more for 2h over 120. But I'll be
happy if this hit. GL.

Took the under originally, glad I hedged at halftime and as long as it doesn't end on 244/245/246 points I'll escape with only losing a few cents.

cecbo · 03-22-10, 11:19 PM

Score, score, score! Keep up the pace...

cecbo · 03-22-10, 11:26 PM

Nice end to the 3rd Q!

mr. leisure · 03-22-10, 11:27 PM

Score,score ,score

nulldah · 03-22-10, 11:28 PM

ouch, 3 points before 100 mark

. but just hope suns dont suddenly become blazers n make warriors "scoreless" in 4th

aman86 · 03-22-10, 11:34 PM

lets go!

HoulihansTX · 03-22-10, 11:39 PM

Books couldnt make this total high enough.

I havent seen a play with more than one pass the whole game.

Mac4Lyfe · 03-22-10, 11:51 PM

Wow, this is a track meet... Congratulations Over folks. I really didn't think this would go over but back to back to back to back to back 3's really does help. Nice job

cecbo · 03-22-10, 11:51 PM

Congrat fellas! It's going OVER!!!

OK so I already hit you guys with my Team Total of the Year with the Nuggets and my College Basketball game of the Year with Wake Forest which were both big winners. Today I give you my Total game of the year!

Phoenix @ Golden State O/U 243.5

The last time I saw a total this high between these two teams (244 O/U 3/15/2009) I thought to myself, "Jesus Christ, the totals between these two teams are always in the 230-237 range, how in the world are they going to score 245+ points combined. The result that night was a 130-154 Phoenix win @ GS. I think this was the highest combined score of any two teams in god knows how long.

Tonight I am asking myself the same question. Three out of the last four games between these two teams have gone under including their last game in Phoenix which only combined for 215 and went wayyy under the posted total of 233. The last O/U between these two teams all average to around 234.

So what does Vegas do tonight admist these two teams going under mostly lately and going way under last game? THey put out the highest total ever in the last 2 years at 244. Sure enough the public is pounding this total to the tune of 75% on the under, 25% on the over.

Ok now why do I absolutely love this play? Well the fact that this total is so much higher than all the others is a huge sign to me to take the over. Why would Vegas put this total so high knowing that the public will for sure be on the under? My answer is because they think it's going to be a high scoring affair. Now why do I think it's going to be a high scoring affair? It's pretty plain and simple, Golden State has been allowing EVERYONE to score at will on them lately. The biggest exampleo of this was just 3 days ago when they allowed the Spurs, who are by no means a great offensive team, score 147 points on them. They also allowed N.O to score 130 on them twice in the last month, another team that isn't so hot on offense. Now here come in the Suns who are THE high scoring team in the NBA, who are really feeling themselves lately winning their last 4 games. I don't see any reason why the Suns won't score at least 130 points on GS. I think GS will be themselves at home and also go out there and score 120+ especially since they have had a extra day of rest for this game and have Monta, Steph, and Maggette all healthy for tonight.

Suns/Warriors OVER 243.5 TOTAL OF THE YEAR HUGE WINNER!!
Suns/Warrors 1st Half OVER 123 HEAVY WINNER!!

There you have it boys, 3-0 now on my "of the year" plays. Team Total of the year CHECK, College Basketball Game of The Year CHECK, and now my Total of the Year CHECK. HUGEEEEE WIN FOR ME!!! CONGRATS TO ALL WHO TAILED!

Mac4Lyfe · 03-22-10, 11:54 PM

That was a nasty dunk Stoudemire just did. Talk about posterizing. He's killing GS. They need to double team his ass.

sweetjones55 · 03-22-10, 11:55 PM

Congrats now who still tailed like I told you once the line moved up to 247! You just got your winning basket!

shari91 · 03-22-10, 11:57 PM

Much love sweetjones - This is the first time in 20+ yrs of gambling that I'm so happy I misbet by a huge amount. $150 bet became a $1500 bet and I only was betting this one at all because of your write-up.

WT Friggin GO!!
