If you don't bet the Mavs tonight, stay out of SBR

chargers4222 · 05-23-11, 04:42 PM

yeah bro no way mavs lose by more than right?! impossible! theyre so much better! just look at the other games! mavs lock of the season!

linedrivr · 05-23-11, 04:51 PM

not sure if you are tongue in cheek but I like the Mavs tonight. Everybody and their dog is backing OKC. I'm going to side with the house tonight.

ShogunRua · 05-23-11, 04:51 PM

Something tells me the refs will be favoring the Thunder tonight (Dan Crawford maybe?). I'm staying away from this one.

vegasinsider has 49/51% split sides, 66% moneyline on Dallas

not sure if its very accurate but doesnt show a strong lean either side.

chargers4222 · 05-23-11, 04:54 PM

no bro no way mavs lose by more than 4! no way! i mean how could it happen?! theyre better! always play good on road!

pittmatt80 · 05-23-11, 05:00 PM

Yeah I was thinking of taking the Mav's tonight as well, I think OKC is completely overmatched in this series. But they will be around in the playoffs for years to come regardless.

HedBustah1 · 05-23-11, 05:00 PM

lol good luck, it's a coin flip

NBA_Brosuf · 05-23-11, 05:01 PM

If you bet on dallas because you like the given spread then I have good news for ya.

It might be a trap game.

You got to bet on a team by considering all them other factors as well.

A bunch of 22 years old did win 1 game against them Dallas in their own house right? Now what?

LOL

I'm assuming you were saying the same thing after Game 1....

suicidekings · 05-23-11, 06:49 PM

I cancelled my wager on Dallas +4.5 earlier today. I don't really like OKC to win tonight, but I think homecooking is on the menu...

jacer333 · 05-23-11, 06:50 PM

Even after a strong performance from Dallas in game 3, you can't claim them as the better team. OKC was able to control game 2 and make shots when it counted on the road. They go down by 20 last game and still come back and give it a run at the end. No team has been able to win 2 in a row in this series, and it won't happen tonight.

Most likely, and that is something a bettor must consider in the NBA playoffs. Dallas backers-don't come back crying after the game if the calls go OKC's way, they need this game to stay alive and are at home.

dude you don't knowhat you're talikn about, all the sbr sharp on thunder

lunchbawks · 05-23-11, 08:21 PM

not worried. Dallas will keep this a game

SportsPedagogy · 05-23-11, 09:07 PM

Can we please stop with all the "If your not on the same side as me ...." Threads ?

If all these games were as easy as you guys like to say, gambling wouldnt exist

lunchbawks · 05-23-11, 11:07 PM

Mavs basketball

hawley · 05-23-11, 11:12 PM

Unreal

I grabbed the Mavs early in the 1Q at +200 but had written that one off

Congrats on your win. What an insane game. This is no FIX, just another day at the office for Dirk
+4 -105
-5 2H +297

hell yes

When they were still down big, I thought I could sneak a win out of DAL +10.5. Talk about a freebie. Makes me feel better about cancelling my original Dallas wager.

Affirmed3 · 05-23-11, 11:26 PM

OKC just cannot close out games at all.

jgan025 · 05-23-11, 11:38 PM

feel sorry for OKC supporters/players/bettors. It was their game to lose.

Personally Im a Thunder fan but I couldn't go either way, because I could justify each team coming away with the win. I stuck with the O196 which proved to come through.

I did put a small punt (once over was a sure thing) on DAL at +440, but didnt expect it to hit... Once I OT started, and DAL got the early lead, I got OKC at -110 and had guaranteed profit... Not much on the win, but feel lucky to make a profit at all

I wanted the thunder to do well too, but game will go down in history lol Durant and Westbrook looked so awful in OT. That's the most embarrassing thing in basketball getting snuffed out like this on their own floor.

Dirk just silenced 19 000 fans with one of the greatest clutch performances I've ever seen.

They have to win the Championship now, sh-t sounds cliche but the Heat won't have a chance.

But the king needs his crown... although Dirk needs a championship just as much... should be an interesting series... seems like experience is prevailing over youth (Rose/Westbrook/Durant)... although I may just eat my words if Bulls grind out a win in game 4...

Bosh>Boozer

that's the game.

7secondsOrLess · 05-24-11, 12:46 AM

yea boozer is the weakest link on the team i dont think rose will make it far with a sidekick like that

GunShard · 05-24-11, 01:11 AM

Nice comeback.

Nice going.

In addition to my original +4 bet, I also took another live bet on Dallas +10.5 and smaller live bet of +390 on the ML. I honestly thought I would lose all 3 bets at the 5 minute timeout of the 4th when they were down 15 but sometimes we get lucky!
