•• i know LB recommended the Lakers... but...

lyon804 · 03-26-10, 05:48 PM

That's interesting. I have the same amount on the other side -1. Maybe we should have just skipped the juice with the books and bet with each other.

sweetjones55 · 03-26-10, 06:10 PM

I think the Thunder is the play. Lakers have beaten them ten times and this is the lowest line ever offered between the two teams. I think OKC stirs up some home cooking and gets some calls late and takes this one down. Vegas knew that the public was going to pound the Lakers and they even went a step further by offering at PK knowing that the public would have taken the Lakers happily at -1.5 to begin with. They really want this game as lopsided as possible to the Lakeshow.

That might have something to do with OKC being better than they ever have been dont you think? I mean even the cavs were only -3.5 in OKC in December when OKC wasnt proven yet.

Late money on OKC? Line just jumped from 1,5 to 1 (and PK somewhere).

lakerboy · 03-26-10, 07:02 PM

Congrats Jedi - nice call. Late money just won for you. Lakers get blown out.

We shall see. I'll believe the Durantulas can beat LAL when I see it. Love OKC, but it's a big leap to assume they'll beat a motivated Laker team tonight IMHO.

axxL · 03-26-10, 07:05 PM

I hope it turns out like the Hawks - Magic game some days ago, Lakers being the Hawks in this case

Jedi · 03-26-10, 07:07 PM

hi LB- i am not altogether clear... this means that a group or single individual with Millions of $$$, with special information or insight, made the call on OKC?

how does this work?..

why would they wait so long....? waiting for the masses to drive Laker line up?
what is their information? who are these people traditionally..?

.. Vegas whales?

or late money means it is 'fixed'?

as some may know, i don't believe in fixes... i just capped this normally like any game.

lakerboy · 03-26-10, 07:14 PM

They are insiders in the buildings and people close to the players- who else would it be? Guys watching the warmups and looking at what these clowns are saying and how they are acting and passing info to books and big shots. Late money doesnt always win but its better to be on its side than against. My only question is why didnt pinny/matchy/greek move- i mean i cant see how any whales or real sharps play at 5dimes

Jedi · 03-26-10, 07:21 PM

thank you... yes.. i would definitely like to be on the side of large, late wagers. I can only imagine that these cats know what's up as much as anyone..

Lakerboy i was just about to ask that question!! I remember you said a while ago on your thread you felt that the Greek was maybe the sharpest book then pinnacle and if i seen right on SBR odds they stayed with lakers -1 and shorter odds favs. So Lakers could still be the play then?? I decided to go OKC then try middle it early withan early lead lookin ok so far. Just playing with small stakes while i try learn this buddy!!

Edit prob a stupid way of betting coz if i should maybe just bet OKC 1st quarter lol but as i said playing with small stakes!!

Jedi · 03-26-10, 07:37 PM

well, nothing over yet... but this is what i was talking about.... Thunder the WHOLE the way.

anjaru · 03-26-10, 07:38 PM

A bit off topic but since we're on the subject of books, which site do you guys recommend as the best betting site? I've been using sportsbetting.com for the last 4 years. I know it has a bad rating but I've grown used to it.

Yes I absolutely does have to do with OKC being better than ever but offering a PK against the basketball team on the planet with the best player on the planet and best coach on the planet? Come on that's pushing it, something is up.

keijo32 · 03-26-10, 08:11 PM

Jedi · 03-26-10, 08:15 PM
