What is going on with Boston?

Boston was cruising from Nov 22 to Dec 22, then they did this:
Dec 25 @ Orlando Magic 2.5 190 Lost 78 - 86 Loss / Under
Dec 28 @ Indiana Pacers -5.5 191 Won 95 - 83 Win / Under
Dec 29 @ Detroit Pistons -6.5 186 Lost 92 - 104 Loss / Over
Dec 31 New Orleans Hornets -5 184 Lost 81 - 83 Loss / Under

HUH???

Tonight they beat Toronto WOOO HOOO (Just kidding)

I mean they can beat Minnesota at home if the cheerleaders play but how do you go from a 30 day win streak to getting beat by Orlando, Detroit, and New Orleans?

[curious]

What is going on with Utah?

Simple there main man Rondo was out, see what Pierce/C Coach said about him after todays game, hopefully the books will undervalue his influence on the team. I think they will beat wolves by double digits with him on court fully fit.

The lines are really rough today.

I don't see a single game where I think the line is worth it. So, let's try some parlays. Don't go crazy on this, I'm trying something I have been studying for a while.

Parlay +128 10 units to win 12.8 units
Miami -425 ML
New Orleans -265 ML
Denver -300 ML

Parlay -135 23.5 units to win 17.5 units
Orlando 4.5 -700
Boston -400
Utah -450

Round Robin x2, x3, x4 6.5 units to win 30 units
Charlotte +9 -110
Golden State +10 1/2 -110
Philly +6 -110
Detroit +9 1/2 -110

This is the NBA bro, if you have betting NBA for awhile you should know this is what happens. Remember the scenario i gave you a few days ago about a team like Boston or the Spurs losing to a team with a losing record and they are like -900 on the ML. There are way more factors that you should put into yoru handicapping rather than winning % at home and % on the road. That will not get it done over thec ourse of a 82 game season

Its funny that I don't remember asking. I track the games picked, the games I picked today went 9-1.

[curious]

Well, you don't know how a round robin works if you think that. I have the 4 teams listed in every possible 2 team, 3 team, and 4 team combination. The picked plays went 3-1 which means that I won most of the 2 team parlays and 1 of the 3 team parlays.

Easy to verify, just use http://www.sbrforum.com/betting-tool...alculator.aspx, put in Number of Games = 4, Parlay Size At Most 4x, and set 3 of the games to Win and 1 game to Lose.

Correction to Monday, Jan 3 Plays

9-1 Win +34.8 Units

The parlay with the dogs lost. So, we went 9-3 +30.3 units.

[curious]

Well, you don't know how a round robin works if you think that. I have the 4 teams listed in every possible 2 team, 3 team, and 4 team combination. The picked plays went 3-1 which means that I won most of the 2 team parlays and 1 of the 3 team parlays.

The picked plays went 1-3, not 3-1. I forget how to add and subtract. I got my granddaughter who is 5 to calculate the games in the parlay for me. I updated today's results.

Capping the Dallas Portland game Jan 4

I usually don't look at injury reports but I do look at streaks. Dallas lost 3 games in a row, 2 to Milwaukee and Toronto, then they beat the high school team Cleveland. In looking at the injury report it seems like they have a lot of injury problems.

I'm thinking either stay away or take Portland for a small play.

What say you?

wat are ur thoughts on a mia/chi ML or mia/chi/LA ML parlay?

[curious]

wat are ur thoughts on a mia/chi ML or mia/chi/LA ML parlay?

Miami and Chicago are the strongest plays of the day. Taking them both on the ML is a good idea.

I am skeptical of the lakers. I would pass on that one.

I dont' see any problem taking miami and chicago on the ML in a parlay.

I just found this band, Leaves Eyes, never heard of them before. Excellent music. Enjoy.

Before you make a post telling me that 4-2 is the incorrect record for these plays, I always calculate parlays by listing the teams that won vs the teams that lost, not the w-l of all the parlays. I get the units won/lost by adding up all the parlay plays. I know a lot of you crackheads will complain that this is not the "correct" way to calculate parlays. It is the way I have always done it and I'm not changing it for any crackhead.

Stay away from parlays. OUCH.

Great night, the totals plays were a bit of a surprise, we will try some more of those. Those were not original from me, I stole them from someone that I have been tracking. I forget who it was, I'll post his screen name next time I play those.
