Spurs (-8) at NJ Nets on Valentine's Day

[LT Profits]

Nets +8 for me.

I know it's early, but 90% of the early bets (only 1200 wager so far) are on Spurs, yet they went from -8.5 +102 to -8 +100 at Pinny and to -7.5 at CRIS!

So early sharp money is on NJ.

First paragraph.

i predict spurs win by 22 points

[NYSportsGuy210]

Ginobli started this game.

The best thing that can happen is that the Nets are up by 5 points at half time too....so Poppavich can chew his team out and they Spurs blow out NJ in the second half.

If I've learned anything in my two years of betting and 25 years of watching the NBA, it's that you have to treat each game as an isolated incident. It's more about the situation on a given night (travel, motivation, etc.) than what's happened in the past vs. other teams.

In theory, this is a good play. As a gambler, I don't like it at all.

this is what you call a wise man.

[bradleysnyder]

this is n absolute toss up trash game

[NYSportsGuy210]

this is what you call a wise man.

Not really....a lot of his plays and many of the plays that his pals end up selecting and putting money that hundreds of you follow everyday are actually toss-up coin flip games.

This is actually a solid play if you understand trends and team pyschology and how to bet wisely.

[lunchbawks]

Good call. Spurs up 11.

And you know how good SA is at holding big leads.

[NYSportsGuy210]

Spurs never in doubt.

[Untied]

I went huge on the Spurs. I was pretty confident, but I never feel good putting that much at risk.

Cha Ching!

Two wagers placed - (1) Spurs (-8) at NJ Nets

(2) Hawks @ Pistons - UNDER 185

Made nice chunk of change over the last four days now NCAA and EPL soccer. NBA has been good to me the last few weeks too.

[Blueline Master]

not sure why spurs is this good of a team this year nothing have changed from last year's roster. what suddenly triggered them to play this good?

[face]

Maybe nothing changing can be a good thing? Well coached too, they don't turn the ball over, they pass a lot and share the ball, and they shoot extremely well. They make plays, instead of giving it to one star player and depending on that player too much.

[NYSportsGuy210]

I read somewhere that Greg Poppavich got bored running the team the same way for the last decade and since his team executes defense at a top notch level year in and year out he decided to open up their offense a little more this year to the strengths of his younger players.

Now as a result, their defense has suffered a bit overall (dropping to like middle of the pack) but their offense, which struggled last year and was highly predictable.....is now one of the top offenses in the NBA. Basically he made them offensively much stronger with sacrificing not as much on defense.

The results are paying of nicely so far.

Gonna take Villanova Wild Cats tomorrow (-3.5) to cover at Seton Hall.
