Portland -5,5

**thebestthereis** · 11-04-10, 07:48 AM

line will never go to 7, bank on that. last night in oklahoma city's loss they shot 4-26 from 3 point range, not sure either matter very much right now. this is portland's 1st game back home after a long road trip, good spot to go against them. also oklahoma city is now an underdog where i think is a better spot for them to be in (been favored in every game so far this year). i like oklahoma city here tonight +5.5, don't see it going any higher.

**RiverRaid** · 11-04-10, 08:22 AM

I like the Thunder tonight also. GL

**Sawyer** · 11-04-10, 09:19 AM

Nice Writeup Gange. Really liked Portland in this spot, GL Bro!

**Sawyer** · 11-04-10, 09:19 AM

Nice to see you on Porto too

I heard bakijaguar placed a bet on Beşiktaş, LoL.

**jsaunte** · 11-04-10, 09:32 AM

**kmoney** · 11-04-10, 09:53 AM

Hey Gangeriver! I just wanted to hear your opinion about Lottomatica Roma - Real Madrid? Like Madrid in the spot that Roma missing Luigi Datome, Angelo Gigli, and maybe Herve Toure..

yes but Roma is very good this year. I think line is right. no play for me. My play is: Barcelona -3,5 first qtr. if your book doesn't offer quarter bets, -7 first half.
and small play 145 under Panathinaikos-Union Olyimpija

**swaindexter** · 11-04-10, 10:37 AM

Portland has been playing awesome ball so far this season. OK has been playing so so this season. Portland should win this game going away in the 4th quarter. Agree on the play of Portland tonight. GL on your wagers..................

Thunder lost all of quarters last night.Interesting Anyone know a team losing all of quarters against Clippers?
Clippers made 107 points. 58 points in paint!!! Incredible. Also Clippers to just .55 percent free throws. 15/27!! Thunder was very lucky.
Durant had a horrible shooting performance last night. 6/24 FG , 0/10 3pts.
I did't watch last night them but I watched Jazz defeat. Out of favor Jazz won all of quarters. completely joke
27-23 / 29-17/ 35-34 / 29-25 (120-99) Obviously this guys have big mental problems

Portland rested last night.their records is 4-1. I would like to share an info about Bulls defeat, Portland had a .00 percent 3points. 0/14

line is -5,5 right now and there are only 2 matches tonight. It seems line will go to -7. Good luck everyone.

All the stats you bring up are stats that every Joe Shmoe knows about, betting games with ONLY this kind of information will not work in the long run. Everyone knows that OKC is playing terrible right now and Portland is playing well. Portland is playing their 4th game in 6 days.

If the line goes up to -7 Portland then I completely agree they are the play but so far the line has already gone in reverse. The line went to -5.5 on bookmaker then dropped to -5, same goes for BetJamaica. Why would the books be dropping the line right now 0.5 point to -5? And why do you think Pinnacle is offering Portland -5.5 +100 giving them away with no juice?

**lolbear** · 11-04-10, 10:49 AM

Thunder is the play here IMO, let's not forget Portland has 5 games this week. They are off to a tiring road trip and will play twice more the next 3 days. It is more likely for the starters to get rested if the game doesn't go their way.

**pokerpro44** · 11-04-10, 10:51 AM

i like it.good luck.

Thanks for your advice, who is gonna make the points from Barcelona?
And what do u think about taking Fran Vazquez over 9.5 points?

this is not the first time for me. somtimes I take a bet early and line goes to reverse. for example all of giants-phillies series and world series. maybe I suppose that I'm a sharp

In fact I'm not. meanwhile open line was -4,5 at Pinnacle. When I wake up it was -5,5
I trust this pick. thunder has a mental problem nowadays.their defense was like Tulsa Shock defence in last two meetings and they lost last 8 quarters in two matchs. rivals are overrated Jazz and ordinary team Clippers. Tonight their rival is a more stronger team.

**nbarlotta3** · 11-04-10, 11:15 AM

OKC is on the back end of back to back road games. Plus they just lost by 20 to a horrible Clippers team, and by 21 to the Jazz at home.

I think guards can more points.Lavrinovic, Oguz Savas and Mirsad....they are strong players in paint area.(unfortunately our Semih Erden went to Celtics, Omer Asik went to Bulls.) In fact I hate player bets and I'm not so good at player bets.

**dude_bg** · 11-04-10, 11:32 AM

i like portland-2.5 at half time, what do u think

I think Barcelona -3,5 first quarter is the best bet. If your book doesn't offer quarter bets you can take -7 HT
and where is the 148,5 pana under??? it is very good line. my small play is Pana 145 under.

Port ML with a little on -5.5 too, what's wrong with the Thunder right now?

**BillAccpetor** · 11-04-10, 01:43 PM

Tough decision for the total here... Portland with well defense and Oklahoma w/o...

who cares where the thunder are at after 4 games. teams win and play different in different spots. the thunder were on national tv in their opening game and won by double digits vs the bulls. young teams get disinterested at times but tonight's game is on national tv and the only game on at the time. durant and the thunder will show up trust me. not the time to bet against them, obviously they can lose but it is the wrong time to do so. good luck!

**BigDofBA** · 11-04-10, 02:16 PM

We are one week into the season. There are way too many knee jerk reactions going on here.

I'm not too surprised that OKC lost to the Clippers. OKC is starting off slow and probably took the Clippers for granted. Likewise, the Clippers were hungry for a win. While I don't think the Clippers are a great team, I think they are probably better than most people give them credit for.

I wouldn't put a whole lot of money on any of these games this early in the year.

I'm an OKC fan but I think the Thunder are a bit overrated. They overachieved and snuck up on people last year. That will not happen this season. Realistically I feel like OKC will probably be a 6,7, or 8 seed but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make the playoffs.

OKC is still very young and needs a piece or two.
