I've seen the line has gone from -8 to -7 because of the Ginobli injury. I bet the Spurs to win straight up before I heard about it. Though, I'm sure they'll win outright, I'm still a little nervous. Anybody think the Spurs will lose tonight?

They were without him on Wednesday against Chicago and they did fine. They still have Parker and Duncan.

I honestly see a 10-15 point win tonight for San Antonio. They've only lost once at home (to Phoenix in a very close game in which they were without Parker).

The line for the Bulls @ Spurs on Wednesday was anywhere from -9 to -10.5 so I'm kind of surprised its at -7 right now. I would have thought it would have been at the same level as it was for the Bulls.

[Mr KLC]

The reason I'm nervous is because I've only been wagering a month now. I'm still learning about picking winners against the line, so a lot of the talk on this board has been greek (no pun intended) to me. Until I feel comfortable, my main success has come from doing parlays on straight up winners and I've built my bank up pretty good with that strategy. I decided to bet 25% of my bank on a San Antonio and Portland winning parlay tonight, and I just think I'm feeling the willies because I've been pretty conservative until today.

The Raptors are a much better team then the Bulls are right now.

But with that being said, I don't see the Raptors winning in San Antonio.

yeah dude putting 25% of your bank is never a good idea, i would stay in the 2-6% range. but it had been working for you so good luck

shocked...

I did the ultimate sin after the game and tried to get it all back with one game. I took the Blazers -1 1/2 in the 2nd half of their game with the Timberwolves. I was glancing through their past games at halftime and saw that they had won the second half at home against their last five non winning record opponents. It ends up that the Blazers covered and I got all of my money, plus some, back. Moral of this story: I am staying conservative from here on out.

KLC,

Does that strategy hold with tonight's hockey game, too...?

Consider yourself lucky,but beware I've been there lots of times when I would win and feel good about myself then turn around and do something stupid so my advice to you is stay in your comfort zone and stay in the game.

3-5% bets from here on out, my friend!
