**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 07:03 PM

I never go big on half/quarter bets but I really like Spurs first half...

Total Plays for the Game:

Spurs ML (-175): 2 Units
Spurs (-4.5): 1 Unit
Spurs 1H (-2.5): 1 Unit

**lakerboy** · 04-29-10, 07:10 PM

Twiz this is my first visit here and i would like to say good work and best of luck.

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 07:15 PM

Thanks LB i really appreciate that. I would never have felt so confident to make my own thread of plays if not for you my friend.

I think the spurs will control this game but i didn't wanna take a chance with the spread. Did you happen to see the late money on spurs first half? I don't like making those kinds of bets but i had to throw a unit down on that.

**lakerboy** · 04-29-10, 07:19 PM

yeah i saw that and if the spurs win the first half dallas has no chance. they will get down and give up

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 08:17 PM

Spurs 1H cashes... then again that only took about 5 minutes or so.

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 08:33 PM

Spurs 2H (+2): 1 Unit

Why not?

**phillybadboy** · 04-29-10, 09:19 PM

I use 5dimes a lot because of their reduced juice.

Suns ML(+108): 1 Unit

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 09:45 PM

Not sure if I'll be around at the end of the night, but so far for tonight...

2-1, +2.85 Units

I actually made a live in-game bet that cashed to make back my unit from my 2nd half bet loss but i didn't count that in my record.

**jresse** · 04-29-10, 09:51 PM

good luck

**phillybadboy** · 04-29-10, 10:37 PM

hey twiz, i meant some place ex. bodog the spread favors dogs, what is a place where the spread favors faves, or at least isn't edged towards dogs, since i like to bet favs? thanks

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 10:46 PM

oh man i dunno phillybadboy... i really don't know too much about different sportsbooks, i wish i could help you but i can't. sorry man.

**phillybadboy** · 04-29-10, 10:48 PM

it's cool ,thanks bro, i see u doing good tonight

**phillybadboy** · 04-29-10, 10:49 PM

reminder, if u like dogs, bodog gives good odds

**phillybadboy** · 04-29-10, 10:51 PM

i think its best to find two sportsbooks, one that favors dogs, and one that favors favs

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 10:54 PM

I have used bodog before but not anymore.

Read through the list and see what you like. You can do better than bodog.

**phillybadboy** · 04-29-10, 10:55 PM

oh okay, thanks good night

**t-wizzle** · 04-29-10, 11:09 PM

Suns are looking good tonight... I fully expected them to come out and play hard tonight.

Anyway, for tomorrow, as I've been saying for a few months now the Nuggets aren't the team they were in the first half of the season or playoffs last year. Billups got old, unfortunately they lost karl, and melo has had to shoulder the load. I can't ever see Carmelo carrying a team by himself. At least not anytime soon. He lacks a certain amount of poise necessary to lead a team. Time and time again i see him show his frustrations on the court and it really affects his play which is why i always say that billups is the true mvp of that team. They became a contender when he was traded there and now that he has lost a step, they aren't as good.

All this said, I think it's clear that the Jazz are the better team. I thought they'd win last night but Denver was able to get one more. Utah will close out the series with a convincing win at home in this spot.

Utah Jazz (-4.5): 3 Units

As always, I tend to add to my play later so there's a good chance i'll do that here.

**t-wizzle** · 04-30-10, 12:37 AM

Suns moneyline hits...

Tonight's Record:

3-1, +3.85 Units

**RobertPaulson** · 04-30-10, 02:05 AM

Thank you i appreciate it

Let's make some more money on these playoffs

**sweetjones55** · 04-30-10, 04:19 PM

Good luck on your plays tonight.

**t-wizzle** · 04-30-10, 07:59 PM

Thanks SJ you too...

Tonight's Plays:

Utah Jazz (-4.5): 3 Units; (-6): 2 Units
Lakers/Thunder (Under 194.5): 1 Unit

Good luck to everyone on their plays tonight... I may change my mind but I think i'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the lakers/thunder game and stay away from taking a side. Part of me thinks the Thunder are able to push it to a game 7 but another part of me sees the Lakers coming out all business and controlling the game from the tip.

**t-wizzle** · 05-01-10, 01:53 AM

Another winning night

Record: 16-9-1, +17.91 units

I'm currently celebrating

I might not play this celts-cavs game. I'm kinda leaning on boston to put up a good fight tonight so +7 might be the play, but i don't really like it that much.

**t-wizzle** · 05-01-10, 11:56 AM

I hope some people have taken notice of my thread, not because i want the attention but because i'm pretty hot right now so it may be a good opportunity to tail. At some point my luck may take a turn but i want people to have a chance to capitalize on my hot streak...

NBA Playoffs posted plays: 7-1, +16.35

My only loss was a small one unit 2nd half play. Again, not trying to toot my own horn, just trying to win people some money

**t-wizzle** · 05-01-10, 12:11 PM

I'm not going to be around today or tonight before the game so there will be no play on this one. If i had to pick, i like boston. Good luck to whoever plays it.

**t-wizzle** · 05-01-10, 08:25 PM

Looks like boston was the play tonight, too bad i didn't take it

Had .5 units on Paddy O'Prado in the derby, he almost made a push there at the end but oh well

**t-wizzle** · 05-01-10, 08:31 PM

I regret not taking Boston so i'm gonna throw a unit on them for the 2nd half.

Celtics 2H (+7.5): 1 Unit

Wouldn't be surprised to see them melt down but they're playing well right now so i think the smart play is to take them.

**phillybadboy** · 05-01-10, 09:13 PM

good luck bro
