Biggest bet of my life!

[allang84]

$5000 on the Lakers ML tonight, -174

Lost by only 1 point to a very decent San Antonio side last game but think they will be too strong for New Orlean's.

New Orlean's have a good home record but I just have a gut feeling on this one.

hope it goes well!!!

[twelvejewelz]

why dont you just keep the 4k. and put 1k on the 3 team? bulls/mavs/lakers?

[LostBankroll]

Well nobody is laughin..... It will either be you or the books. And at -174... the book only has to be right a couple of times to nail you to the cross.

[twelvejewelz]

Yea im just saying lakers because you posted it to me in another thread. I will continue to say i will never count on the lakers in my life and my money will never touch a game involving the lakers

im well up this year so that is why im making a bet of this size, the books wont nail me to the cross on this one, itll be me nailing them to the cross.

Lakers will do the business, and thats a fact.

everyone has an opinion and if the Lakers were to lose(which they wont) i will take it on the chin and move on.

But I can assure you now I wont be denied, Im already searching through the Internet as Im going to buy a new tv with my winnings.

Agreed! I am not feeling the Lake Show and especially now that there slumping and ******* up people's money.

Parlay CHI/Dallas/and HOUSTON I like H-Town in there match up against Memphis tomorrow, There trying to sweep there 3 Game Series tomorrow

I like a small ML Bet on NO tomorrow

[Grind House]

Lakers have nobody who can even make Chris Paul production look equal. That's how I knew the Rockets would give them trouble because of the point guard position. Gonna be a tough one for the road team.

[allang84]

so no one fancys the Lakers then?

[8ArIvd5]

stop counting your chickens

[breathmints]

lakers are cripple now.. there is no bench.. they only have 6 players who are playoff material... \ shannon brown..the rest is not scoring as much

[breathmints]

u should expect the Lakers to see alot more L this season...

[politicin]

Lakers will probably win, but you sir are a degenerate.

[face]

New Orleans is the only team to beat the Spurs twice.

[allang84]

Lakers will probably win, but you sir are a degenerate.

what because i think the Lakers will win and Im confident?

your momma obviously dropped you on your head when you were born!

[MadTiger]

...but you sir are a degenerate.

I am afraid I have to cosign.

[cleaveland]

The Lakers are playing seriously right now, they routinely beat the Hornets, and the Hornets are without two starters that will greatly impact on them both sides of the ball. Lakers ML should be a winner.

[AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN]

Lakers will probably win, but you sir are a degenerate.

I agree with everything you say except the part where the Lakers win

(im actually laughing out loud to myself at 4:30in the morning)

[iuliux]

Lakers will probably win, but you sir are a degenerate.

that sir, is right on the money! leaving aside that the hornets will probably win, it's just a very bad (and funny) idea

[riskyProps]

why dont you just keep the 4k. and put 1k on the 3 team? bulls/mavs/lakers?

Sounds like a good ML parlay. I think I might drop a few bucks on it.

[face]

IF YOU WIN BIG TODAY, PUT A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY ON THE PROP BET "will this game go to overtime" for the SUPERBOWL.

you never KNOW. +650. REMEMBER HOW MANY FOOTBALL GAMES WENT TO OVERTIME THIS YEAR? WHY CAN'T THIS ONE BE ANOTHER ONE?

1/2 unit.

[sweethook]

well gl man

[AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN]

i almost put $20 1150 ML on Cleveland, It would of paid $230 in tonights close game, Clippers ML was 289 they will win a road game soon and there ML are getting high, 2nd highest tonight behind clevland

[stevenash]

but you sir are a degenerate.

or an attention whore.

Not saying the Lakers will lose but................

Lakers are getting old and they know it, they rest their starters more nowadays, don't run as much, slower team.

Opposing teams are forcing a slower pace, look at the points the Lakers scored in their losses since the New Year.

85 v. Memphis 1/2
92 v. Clips 1/16
100 v. Mavs 1/19
95 v. Sac 1/26
96 v. Bos 1/28
88 v. Spurs 2/3

Lakers points per possession are at recent lows.

The team is slowing down, AND they're playing much worse offensively even after you adjust for tempo.
This is not your big brother or father's Lakers anymore.
Has Kobe hit the 'brick wall'?

It's not unusual to see 20 turnovers in a Laker box score these days either.
Go ahead, look for yourself.

Tonight they play a team (New Orleans) in their building, against the team they held on to and sweat out a four point win at Staples.

You think New Orleans wants a little payback tonight at home?
Lakers are like the Yankees, when either teams shows up to play in their house they have a target on their back.
You think this is just another home game for the Hornets?
You think this is another home game for the 10000 Hornet fans? It'll be loud dude.
Hornet ain't the Bobcats, they got game.
32-19 record says they have game.

One more point, Lakers are still ten up in their division, they aren't going to lose their division, no matter how much they have regressed, and they have regressed, do you think there is a sense of urgency here tonight in this early Feb. road game?
It's not like it's a semi final playoff game, seried tied at 1-1


With all that has just been pointed out, your 5K wager to me seems risky when the reward at -180 (is what I'm seeing) is $2778.

Even if you get your 5K wager down at -174 do you really wish to risk 5000 for a return of $2874?

Risky business indeed.

I don't like the Lakers right now. I played them at -3 against the Spurs, based on the idea that they have some pride and wanted to make a statement on their home court. Instead, they laid an egg yet again. The players have no chemistry nor offensive rythm right now. I'm not saying they won't win this, however, I think there are much better options for the biggest bet of your life. Nevertheless, good luck!

I had the Lakers ML pegged as the best play in the NBA tonight before I saw this thread or the accuscore predictions.

If you look at the accuscore predictions for all the games tonight you get the following:

Hawks win 98.6 to 94.4
Mavs win 93.6 to 87.9
Blazers win 96.5 to 93.5
Lakers win 96.6 to 89.4
Rockets win 106.7 to 100.4
Bucks win 93.5 to 90.1
Thunder win 103.0 to 102.2
Nuggests win 114.7 to 112.0
Bulls win 103.2 to 102.6

Believe it or not, accuscore has the Lakers as the biggest favorite of the night based on the projection of the final score! I had them as my top pick before I saw that or this thread, btw.

If it doesn't make sense to you just imagine the Lakers front line dominating the game with Okafor and Ariza out. If the Lakers use any kind of disciplined strategy in terms of pounding the ball down low they should dominate and thus the accuscore prediction makes perfect sense, imho.

[blinky88]

Good luck

[vyomguy]

why does this bet make him a degenerate...the guy likes lakers and he is betting it..whats the big deal...why call someone a degenerate?
