5 - 1. I hope everyone is cashing in on this as much as I am. Bankjob did you ride game 6? After chickening out in some early games I went at game 6 BIG. That was the easiest money I have made in a long time.

Like taking candy from a baby son. I finally stepped to the plate and took the Lakers/Under in a two team parlay in Game 6!

Thoughts on game 7 at 187? Worth a double down here?

It's early, but of course my lean is back to the Under once again.

The problem though is Perkins is done and Bynum will be very limited which hurts the defensive cause for both teams. Perkins is hands down the best defender on Gasol (although KG has been much better recently). With Odom and Wallace getting more minutes than Bynum and Perkins, things change a bit.

Spar, are you officially taking the over or under in this game?

Still debating. I usually don't make my final decision and put bets in until 30 minutes or so before the game, unless I really love something and think there will be movement in my favor.

I will post an official stance later. Right now I am leaning Boston in the first half and Over for the game. I think this game is tight for 2 - 3 quarters and then LA wins it down the stretch. I can picture an exhausted Celtics front court wearing down late.

under is for sure the safest bet of the night
I cant find any value to play la ml or spread

All right so here we go. I don't really expect anyone to believe me, but I am 7-0 in the this series and I am looking to finish it out strong. I picked the Under in games 1, 3, 5, and 6. I took Boston in games 2 and 4, and I had LA in game 6. I have been killing this series. I have lost bets because I have made a ton of live bets and prop bets, but I have won more than I lost there. Anyway, enough bragging, here is my game 7.

This game is the Duke-Butler game. Everyone knew LA would be here, they have the best coach and the best player, and they are giving 7 points accordingly. No one expected Boston to be here, so despite the fact that they are dead even with LA they are getting 7 points.

Butler won 20-25 straight to get to that title game. Boston knocked off Wade, Lebron, and the defending Eastern Conference Champs. And they are getting 7 points? I'll take it.

To be honest, this isn't even close to my largest bet of the playoffs, but I am going with it. I have worries in the back of my head that BOS keeps it close for 42 minutes and then foul trouble and fatigue take over with only 3 bodies in their front court. But despite that I can't resist +7 for one of the two best teams in the league.

Boston +7, 2 units. GO CELTS!!!

I am also betting the over, but small. My research always pointed to under and I made good money following that, so I won't stray too far.

Up about 35 units in the playoffs, going 2 units on Boston and 1 on the over.

Good analysis and relative to Duke-Butler. Not to mention THA DIESEL picked the Lakers originally

Man I hate to keep bragging, and I shouldn't too much because I lost $165 on the Over, but I KILLED THIS FINALS. I had a series bet on LA to win at -110 when it was 3-2 and I matched that bet on BOSTON +7 tonight, so I middled it. I made close to $1,000 tonight with nearly no risk.

8-1 in the finals, although I hate to put that -1 against me with only 1 unit on the over tonight. Either way great series. I ****ing hate LA but Fisher and Artest hit big shots and they earned it.

One last side note if anyone is even reading this. There are some very unintelligent people out there paying crooked touts money for their picks. These touts recommend teasers, buying 0.5 points, and bet nothing but favorites. Please be warned, these scam artists prey on new bettors who will fall for this completely ignorant advice. Teasing an NBA spread/total is a terrible idea. Buying 0.5 point on a 7 spread is a terrible idea. They are con artists and they sell terrible advice to newbies who don't know any better. I keep trying to advise these newbies but they are so stubborn they won't even listen.

DO NOT PAY A TOUT. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

It was a great season and a tremendously profitable postseason. Best of luck to all of you.

Good stuff Spar!

**SparJMU** · 06-18-10, 11:31 AM

Thanks guys, and sorry for boasting last night, that is not a classy move.

I was out drinking a lot of beers with friends last night, loving a beautiful Phillies win, and loving some nice bets from Game 7. I also witnessed two very hot lesbians flirting and making out at the bar, and then disappearing into a single person bathroom for 20 minutes. It was a very fun night and I felt the need to gloat a little right before I passed out. Won't happen again.

Either way great series, hope everyone made out nicely. Take care.

Sounds like the kind of night you need to keep us informed on
