I thought about it also, hope you cash it!

Some nice movement on the Tulsa line.. I got it at PK, and it closed at -2.. They started the game off with an 8-0 lead, hopefully this is an easy winner, but with the WNBA, you gotta watch out for those quarters where you're outscored 27-6..

Well I couldn't have been more wrong about the Tulsa game, but at least the 2H under cashes; 1-2 on the night with the Mercury play pending for tomorrow.

Roag,

Good 2H call on the Lynx/Shock. It helped mitigate the results from the earlier games a bit.

I was out with the family and was only on the first 2 picks. Missed this 2H call.

I will be out of town for a week camping with the family starting Tuesday. I am hoping to go away on a winning streak.

Keep up the good work!!!

Sam, where are you from? I'm from Southeastern Massachusetts originally.

samdapatriotsfan · 06-19-10, 10:00 PM

Born and raised in California. The next question is usually, how did I wind up a Patriots fan? To summarize the story.....I am the youngest of 9 kids. Growing up I absolutely hated hearing about the Niners winning all the time. And the obnoxious Raiders fans I encountered (Not all Raiders fans are obnoxious) definitely ensured I would not ever root for Oakland.

So in 1982 when my brother took me a Pats v. Raiders game (Patriots lost by the way). I got a jacket and a sticker. And I have rolled with them ever since, bad times.....and recently good.

I hate the Patriots ever since they beat my Panthers in the 2003 Super Bowl. And being from NY doesnt help to quell any of those sentiments lol.

The general rule I follow is if the 1H goes under (especially way under), take the 2H over. But the Mystics are shooting 22.2% and the Sky shot 48% but scored only 32 pts. The 2H total is 77.5, it's going to be close I think so no sense taking a chance. There is always a better bet waiting out there, no need to be an action junkie especially if the project goal is to be reached.

Sounds like a good rule to follow... Keep following those rules they will make you alot of money. The guy that came up with those are a GENIUS.

You had said in an earlier post not to take a wager if we can't find the numbers you list in your picks. Best I could find on Pho/Conn 1stH over is 89.5 Best I could find on game total is 183. I'll take the 183 since it would be a push if your 182.5 hits. But does that 1st half line have some cushion in it? Or do you recommend we pass?

I think they'll score over 90, but it's up to you. Maybe play it for 1/2 of your original bet?

Can you buy points with your book? Maybe buy the hook to get to 182.5?

samdapatriotsfan · 06-20-10, 01:40 PM

I'm with you Dume. The best line I could find for the total was 183 as well. I took it @ 183, like you said if the 182.5 hits the worst you would get is a push.

dume walker · 06-20-10, 03:18 PM

I took the 89.5 on the 1st half as well. Let's hope these ladies roll.

I want to get over $1,000 first, unless I see something I can't pass up. But yeah, not even 1 parlay for $15-$25, I must be under some strange influence!

You've won it. Congrats ahead! I also have Mercury 1H and game. Mercury 1H will also complete a 2-teamer for me.

Notice I didn't take Mercury 1H, just the total. I expected the Sun to come out hot from their win over the Sparks. I still think Phoenix will pull this game out though.
