keep it going nice calls

GTS925 · 12-21-10, 05:46 AM

My bookie is offering +4 on DAL, is there something wrong with DAL? The line opened at +3.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 05:47 AM

GTS, some books were even offering 5. I cannot explain why the line has gone up unless there is a lot of public betting on Orlando at home or there is an undisclosed Dallas injury, but I still love Dallas barring injury.

Avon. Mistakes happen, and after re-reading your first post regarding the 2nd half post it does say under and is not edited... I forgive you! Ha

Nice job though you sure do know how to pick em

Nitro3 · 12-21-10, 07:16 AM

P.S.- love the twitter idea

VicVega91 · 12-21-10, 07:22 AM

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 02:07 PM

Official Plays:
Dallas Mavericks +5
Sacramento Kings 1Q -1
Los Angeles Lakers 1H -7.5
Oklahoma City Thunder 1H -3.5
Dallas Mavericks - Orlando Magic Under 190.5
Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers Under 192

aznjeff07 · 12-21-10, 02:09 PM

you buy a point or more on dal?

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 02:11 PM

no. it was +5 very early this morning.

i would still play it at the opening +3 line.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 02:19 PM

I also like this parlay, but I won't make it an official play:
Dallas ML / Lakers ML / Thunder ML

should pay more than 2:1

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:01 PM

I also like this 6 pt teaser - Dallas +9 / Oklahoma City -.5 / LAL -6

LRKontroll · 12-21-10, 03:04 PM

Magic today isnt a defensive team
So Im a little bit worried with under.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:09 PM

I see where you're coming from. They have only allowed 3 100pt games all season and they've only scored over 100 once in their last 9. They don't have any set offense or defense yet with the new players and are on a b2b. Last 3 games between these 2 went under.

Orlando is the #4 overall defense, #3 home defense and #1 home rebounding team. Dallas is the leagues 5th best overall defense, 4th best road defense and 3rd best rebounding team.

Orlando is 22nd in overall scoring, Dallas is 16th in overall scoring.

Nitro3 · 12-21-10, 03:20 PM

Never have done a teaser before. Could you explain or how you would wager it at a sports book

YOUNGBUCK · 12-21-10, 03:24 PM

avon u like over in gs sac game at all?

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:24 PM

nitro - it's not an official play of mine, it's just one i liked when looking at the adjusted line.

i'm not sure what book you use, but usually you can select however many games, in this case dallas +3, oklahoma city -6.5 and lal -12 and then use the 6 teaser option on the teaser bar. usually there are several different teaser numbers you can use. for this one i used 6 points.

I almost made the under a play of mine, but decided against it because the teams are too unpredictable.

GSW has gone under in 18 of 23 last road games, and 11 of last 13 @ Sacramento.
Sacramento has gone under in 4 of last 5 games, 8 of last 12 home games, and 11 of 15 vs the West.

ya true they are unpredictable but i know they both hate playing d as well and its kinda low for them

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:29 PM

Yeah, that was also one of the reasons I decided to stay away. 205/206 is pretty low for them, but all the trends point toward under so I decided no play.

YOUNGBUCK · 12-21-10, 03:35 PM

thx for insight

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:42 PM

I noticed my plays got pushed to the last page, so just so they are on the new page, they are:

Official Plays:
Dallas Mavericks +5
Sacramento Kings 1Q -1
Los Angeles Lakers 1H -7.5
Oklahoma City Thunder 1H -3.5
Dallas Mavericks - Orlando Magic Under 190.5
Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers Under 192

Good luck.

YOUNGBUCK · 12-21-10, 03:44 PM

avon i like devin harris over 18 1/2 alot watcha say???

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:48 PM

Points I'm assuming? I would probably pass. He's only gone over 18 twice this month and is shooting 35%. I think he is still bothered by his injury.

YOUNGBUCK · 12-21-10, 03:54 PM

alright thx

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 03:56 PM

I like the Mavs/Magic prop: Dirk Nowitzki Over 24.5 PTS

pstaff1989 · 12-21-10, 04:46 PM

Damn dude, @ 5dimes the mavs line went from +3 to +2.5, luckily I got it at +3.

I'm also on Lakers 1H. I think it is a solid play.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 04:49 PM

I think it was at 5 on 5dimes around 5 a.m. this morning because I jumped on it after reading that on here.

pstaff1989 · 12-21-10, 04:50 PM

I think they have a shot to win the game SU. good luck man, let's get $ tonight.

what's your strongest play on your card tonight?

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 04:51 PM

Probably Mavs +5 and yeah, I think they can (should) win SU.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 08:16 PM

Oklahoma City 1H is a win.

Krazymojo · 12-21-10, 08:45 PM

did not like that 3rd quarter in the mavs/magic

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 08:48 PM

Yeah the under on that is cooked. too many points in 3rd.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 08:57 PM

I'm going to have a 2H play in the Grizzlies game most likely.

Avon Barksdale · 12-21-10, 09:14 PM

Official Play:
Memphis Grizzlies 2H -5.5
