Yeah, Stars have regained some market value with Hammon getting back into shape.

And Conn still has plenty to prove re its ability to win on the road

Yep, they haven't beaten a quality team on the road yet. I will have to re-think this one now.

Just got on this now. It's good:

Soccer: Sweden 2: Sundsvall +100

I actually didn't think about it in good time. I analyzed the game just prior to kickoff. I'll see how it goes.
In the MLB, Red Sox FF is worth looking at. The Rays have invented a way to often lose the FF of their home games! I like both Red Sox FF and UNDER 9 for that game. The Rays home offense is a mess.

You were fortunate not to have tailed this afterall. This one ended 1-1.

Leaning Sky but again I have to question why the Fever would open up -3 when Chicago has been on a roll lately. The linesmakers are really f*cking with people!

I'm thinking it's because Chicago just lost to them a couple of games ago. I also think this line is just off, false fav in this game.

The linesmakers aren't that dumb though; it just seems too good to be true. Didn't I hear that phrase somewhere?

another line that is exactly where I pegged it (well half a point off, had Indy -3.5). Line was Indy -2.5 when they played in Chi just over a week ago, Indy won by 6.

Also, Indy off a loss, looking to bounce back and with a week to prepare for this game + Chi off a road win as a +6 dog.

Motivation should be high for Indy imo.

RoagBettor · 07-05-10, 09:17 PM

All good points Bull. That's why I don't like to play sides as much as totals.

TeamTT · 07-06-10, 05:42 AM

How do u normally decide on your totals Roag? Pass games? Other stats? Goidluck

Well, normally I would look at the opening line in NBA (I don't play a lot of totals in NBA but every so often there is one staring you in the face), but it's not the same in WNBA. These 2 teams just scored 176 points with a line of 151 and now the line opens up the same? Red flag. But with WNBA you have to really look at offensive and defensive numbers plus the line movement on the side, and I think 151 is simply too low. I'm expecting 155-160 so we'll see. A lot of people are on the under, maybe they're right, that's why it's called gambling!

Rick22 · 07-06-10, 09:22 AM

Looks like I missed a couple of good days. Good job Roag. You know I'll be watching closely today - GL

What do you think her absence would do to the pace of the game?

I think it will speed it up. NY was seriously outrebounded in their last game against Seattle (33-21) and LJ had 12 herself. With her out of the lineup I could see NY pushing the ball more and getting more offensive rebounding opportunities.

Then again, it's WNBA, these chicks beat to a different drummer than most basketball players!

Dwell · 07-06-10, 10:12 AM

Well I'm already on the under so I was kinda hoping that both teams, out of respect for Lauren Jackson's concussed brain, would slow things down so she could follow along without difficulty....

The news report said she showed symptoms of a concussion after the game, so I highly doubt she will play. They aren't going to take a chance, plus the All-Star game is coming up and she might not even play in that if she sits out today.

I'm strongly considering take NY 1H and game.

sweetjones55 · 07-06-10, 10:38 AM

The Storm are a 9 point favorite yet the 1Q line on TheGreek is -3 which is indicative of a 12 point favorite. The linesmakers are strongly pointing in the direction that the Storm are a great 1Q team.
Pinnacle is still offering -2 -115 so I am jumping all over this right now.

RoagBettor · 07-06-10, 10:40 AM

Storm may win the 1Q, but Pinnacle is -4.5 1H and everyone else is 5. Hopefully we both win.

Hey stranger! Are you and tbill on it for the contest? I haven't been following it since I was banned. LOL!

I think we could see a big upset; Netherlands should have a tough time scoring but this WC has been very unpredictable (except by the Octopus!).

That was an absolute Laser to take $50 out of our pocket. It was such a good shot though that I don't feel too bad!!!

RoagBettor · 07-06-10, 01:51 PM

Yeah, that's one of the best goals you'll ever see. Oh well.
