1. New Orleans +5

I would like to personally thank those who contributed on moving this line for me 1.5 points from open. This is a huge game for both teams not only in the playoff race in the west but for MVP between Kobe and CP3. I have no question about New Orleans' motivation in this game and to top it off they have zero injuries and Lakers played last night. I wouldn't give that much concern over Lakers playing last night though because Kobe and starters only played half the game but none the less they were MOVING around while New Orleans was resting. I have them favored by 2.33 and books have them as a dog of 5 right now so i'll eat it up. Coinflip game, 5 free points is a great price for the better team who could very well win outright!

Which bet do you like better tool?
CLE/CHI 196.5 UNDER
or
MIN/ORL 206.5 UNDER?
I'm looking to pair one up with the SEA/SA UNDER.

Sorry pHr0st, but my totals are broke. Just betting the numbers, spread or total, isn't effective unless you are aware of the situation teams are in. For me, every spread tells a story but not totals. If you were to ask me a question about a spread i could fill you in. But it's different with totals and i haven't been able to pick it up. If you put a gun to my head i would probably pick the Cleveland under because Cleveland wants to get back at Chicago for beating them the past week. They'll come out playing defense. Cleveland's last 2 games have went under and Chicago's last 3 games have gone under. But like i said, totals aren't my thing.

tool, i didn't know you were as serious about handicapping as you are until recently. i hope that overall you did well tonight. A comeback from N.O. in the nba and a few decent bases plays made my night profitable...i hope yours was the same. i look forward to reading what you've got for us next.

Only played one game tonight Mofo, got lucky as shit on New Orleans +5. I take everything i do seriously, come on now that's how it should be. Although i wouldn't call myself a successful capper because of improper money management i hold my own and I have a lot fun doing it. And by improper money management i mean although i bet what i can afford to lose i get impatient and press the action when i'm not 100% confident. But having fun is the most important thing IMO IF you're betting what you can afford to lose. If you been gambling for a long time you know that this money doesn't come quick and you have to grind at it. It makes losing a hell of a lot easier!! Live to see another day and have fun doing it!
