Muchas Graciás Señor Alamo...

it seems i am understanding this odd game of baskets and ball better..

i labor to improve..

[Ratzz]

hmm.. something up... two lines have not been released

[Pap45murF]

They're out now.

Spurs -6.5 and 76ers -4.5

76ers -4.5 @ Minn seems a bit blown up, due to Spurs and Hawks win I'm assuming. Even though they suck, TWolves always put up big numbers and if the Sixers can't keep up... that's a nice little +165 payout right there.

[Ratzz]

from earlier:

SATURDAY__ February 12th 1:24 AM

NY KNICKS... –3 (6X)

Good Luck

shoulda waited on Knicks.. down to –2.5

TEXT for KNICKS
Knicks have been humiliated two games in a row at home.
What happens when a little bully gets beat up two days in a row at school?
He goes home and beats up his little brother. That's exactly what this is.
KNICKS are better than Nets, and need to make someone pay
for being handled by both teams from LA. One with a terrible road record.

SATURDAY__ February 12th

Philadelphia 76ers .. -4.5 >> (4X)
Really liked what i saw by 76ers in last night's game.. Handled BEST team in league.
Avoiding 5th consecutive loss in MINN. Sixers have allowed 104.5 pts in four game skid in Minny.
Look for improved defense to shut down Wolves.. and Philly keeps rolling.

SA Spurs .. -6.5 >> (4X)
Really did not like what i saw here. you KNOW Popz is making adjustments,
and gave them hell last night. POP is best coach in league (sorry Phil)
Washington is nobody compared to Spurs. SA has beaten them 10 times in a row,
why should that change after a loss to a lesser team?

Good Luck

thank you, Pap4.. i know about Sixer streak.. just think/feel that they are bolstered after such a big win over Spurs.. my thinking was that they were going to continue on that path...

does seem odd that those two particular lines took so long.. no?

what does Vegas know?

[Soon2BRich]

hey dude what do you think bout the dallas game? n can i just ask, whats ur record?

[Ratzz]

i ALMOST took the Dallas game... but was only feeling about 80% on it...

i like to feel 100%, if i HAD to pick. then Dallas.

but other games looked more 100%

best play today is the KNICKS... in NJ, they will cover

[Ratzz]

AMARE OUT> this hurts. hedging... NETS 6X

don't need stress.

[manu4life]

yeah amare out definitely hurts. GL ratzz

[Ratzz]

wow... lucky break i was home.. last second Hedge on KNICKS...
i prefer the stress of breaking even, than the stress of losing 6 units..

onto other games i suppose..

maybe college is good deal.. kids too young to get injured easily..

[Ratzz]

KNICKS look like they might cover even WITHOUT Amare...

with him, add 8+ or so.. easy cover..

let's see what happens,, still pulling for SPURS and SIXERS

my other two picks..

[Ratzz]

LUNCHHAWKS was right.. should'na hedged.. oh well.. as long as i come out ahead on the evening,,

[Ratzz]

excellent evening last night... almost +8X
fantastic stuff looks like on SUNDAY.. 3 games...

[alamo]

Well done Ratzz. Fast becoming one of the forums best handicappers.

thank you.. i am understanding all of this better now..
quite a nut to crack... this NBA business...

as much info as an advanced degree, easily..

[NYSportsGuy210]

Spurs almost always cover. Poppovich has this team trained well. They fear no one. And Dallas plays tough no matter who their opponent is as long as Dirk is healthy.

[Ratzz]

LOS ANGELES: YOU ARE GOING DOWN.. (both of you)

[Ratzz]

SUNDAY__ February 13th

Orlando Magic .. -1 >> (5X)
Los Angeles is playing great.. 4-for-4 so far on this road trip. Jackson clearly responding well to the onslaught of criticism they received after home losses to the Celtics, and Spurs, Kings, and almost Rockets (OT) a scant two weeks ago. However good they may appear, they are still only 19-10 versus teams with a record above .500%.

Orlando, very much in the same as the Lakers were a short while ago, need to step it up for coach Van Gundy.
Difficult losses to Miami and Boston, have created a lot of media criticism about complacency, that i expect
to contribute to a strong defensive effort, as well as improved shooting. The Magic played the Hornets well for 3 quarters
until an inexplicable collapse in the 4th to jeering fans. The fans want better and i expect they will receive a 48 min, effort
today from the home team (19-8). I do not hink this will be a blow out, it will be close for most of the game,
but Orlando likely to get the 5-6 pt. win and cover the spread, which really is what we all care about. I can eat a single pt.


Toronto Raptors .. +2 >> (5X)
The Clippers, coming off an embarrassing road loss to Cleveland, arrive in Toronto distracted by a solid 24 hrs. of ESPN footage showing them generously sacrificing themselves to end the longest losing streak in sports history. In their previous game, the Clips played fantastically in ane effort over the Knicks, and had hoped to string together a similar effort in an unbelievably long road trip. This is the 6th of 11-straight road games. I expect the loss to Cavs will create an emotional hangover that shouls keep them from playing at their best and create the opportunity for Toronto to get in and steal the win.

Conversely Toronto, is getting comfy in an 8-of-9 home stint.. The Raptors, played the Spurs very tough just two games ago, and managed to drop in a solid 100 pts, on a very tight defense, and stayed with Portland until the last 4 min. Toronto has won 4 straight
against the Clippers, who still have a terrible road record.. (4-19)

I expect this game is more of a gift than the Laker game, and will be a more relaxed win for the capper, Even though 79% of the public is on the Clips. (i guess they are mistankenly imagining that there will be an immediate response to Cavs loss). Don't go for it. The KNICKS had a hangover and lost handily to the Lakers after dropping game to Ciips. Take the +2 gift-wrap, and enjoy the game.

..pity about the Suns/Kings game >> (not even a single X)
I really liked this game until i saw the –9.5 pt. icing they put on this cake...
big spreads make teams behave unnaturally 40% of the time, thus ruining the any advantage cappers may glean.
You never know which way or how they will react.. Suns will likely cover, but play at your own risk..

Good Luck

AMARE OUT> this hurts. hedging... NETS 6X

don't need stress.

great job last night ratz,,,sucks you "hedged" out of ny.

curious though...you had knicks -3.5 in your original post. when you made this post at 7pm, you just mentioned nets 6x but no line....

did you have knicks -3.5 (6x) and nets +1.5( that was the line when amare was announced out) for 6x??

Good Luck today!

yes... to above.. i usually never hedge..
if i only came in 2-3 minutes later, then i win 14X yesterday... but of course i was punctual.. lol

and just didn;t want to chance a NYK collapse.. so i came out about +8X for the evening...
(Spurs and the Sixers both came in easily)

all good... better safe than sorry, every day creates new picks..

good luck to you as well, bud..

until the next

yeah, but betting nets at +1.5 is setting yourself up for a middle.....if the knicks would have won by 2 or 3 you lose both sides.....

[Ratzz]

yeah.. but i knew zero chance that would have happened.. either Knicks would show up or not..

and they did,, i was right .. i should not have addressed injury to Amare

[Ratzz]

BOY.. AM i GLAD i stayed away from MIAMI... lol...

this is HILARIOUS!!!

HEat should make a run... BUT... who needs to stress like this...?!?!

hate being on the fave and behind in points..

[Ratzz]

nailed this.. Go ORLANDO

[Ratzz]

ORLANDO + TORONTO

it is official... CASHED Both!! +10X

[Ratzz]

MONDAY__ February 14th


LA Clippers .. +6 >> (8X) (this is a single bet, it is listed elsewhere: I am not placing it twice)

While the Clippers are not a great road team, Griffin is doing well and his play and attitude is spreading to the rest of the team. I like them here after being upset in Toronto yesterday.

The Bucks conversely, have been playing really poorly, and i question why they are such large favorites in this game. Jennings is only shooting 32%. As well they may be without Maggette, who left last game misway though with lower back pain.


Good Luck

[Pap45murF]

Clippers are the 2nd worst road team in the NBA, giving up an average of 107 points in the past 10 games. Plus they lost to Cleveland... now they're on a B2B coming off a loss to the Craptors for god's sakes against a decent, rested Bucks home game.

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just playing devil's advocate. -6 is still quite large for a game that is basically a coin flip.

i just feel like Griffin-Ball is spreading throughout the team, and they'll hunt a wild Buck tonite..

6 pts is alot.. for a team playing as poorly as Milwaukee is..
