-6.5 at the moment, what the hell...

demens · 03-07-12, 01:29 PM

So i decided to go with 1H play on Philly. Philly is 5th in 1h Margin at home, 4th overall. Boston is 21st overall and 28th on the road. I think Philly comes out strong in this one, not sure if they cover 7 although i think they will, i'm gonna take my chances with a rare 1h play (i think its the 1st one of the year for me).

Got -4 -105 as +4 was juiced to +115.

No coincidences · 03-07-12, 06:53 PM

There are 3's out there now 1H demens. Just a heads-up.

SparJMU · 03-07-12, 08:02 PM

So the Sixers won big, do you think the Celtics might give away the 2H and rest all their starters, or at least throw the 4th Quarter?

demens · 03-07-12, 10:51 PM

Blow out city from the start.

on the other hand, i love loses like this....

1:01	Al Jefferson makes free throw 2 of 2	99-85
0:56	Josh Howard shooting foul (Corey Maggette draws the foul)	99-85
0:56	99-86	Corey Maggette makes free throw 1 of 3
0:56	99-87	Corey Maggette makes free throw 2 of 3
0:56	Enes Kanter enters the game for Al Jefferson	99-87
0:56	99-88	Corey Maggette makes free throw 3 of 3
0:38	Gordon Hayward out of bounds lost ball turnover	99-88
0:30	99-90	Gerald Henderson makes 12-foot jumper
0:10	Jamaal Tinsley bad pass	99-90
0:05	99-93	Kemba Walker makes 26-foot three point jumper
0:00	End of the 4th Quarter

And i'm serious too, i love a bad beat, at least you know you had the game right, it was just bad luck.

SparJMU · 03-08-12, 09:05 AM

SK, is Dallas a sucker bet tonight? They seem to match up very well against Phoenix, plus the Suns played an intense game last night against OKC. Gortat and Nash both put in about 40 minutes while Dallas is well rested.

Sorry, I took the day off today, and didn't see this. I leaned Dallas, but wasn't really feeling either game.

Rough. The tight losses can be infuriating at times. I'd almost rather be on the clear wrong side than fail to cover by 1-2 points. Just put me out of my misery.

Had I gotten home earlier, I would have had a few. No time at work... Dallas wins tonight, IMO.

These SAC commentators are just BRUTAL...

Think i may have had this conversation with you already on comms but I like em (like most of the home team ones WHEN IM on the home team!). However when Im on the road team I nearly have to turn the sound off. Its fun though for me to listen to them in that they are so biased its nearly funny. As someone living in europe you dont tend to get too many biased commentaries (unless its a country playing another country). So I get a kick out of the boys even ribbing on the refs. However on a night like tonight I just cant listen to my two buddies from Sac Town.

Pauulzcappin · 03-09-12, 11:12 PM

I like Spurs commentators. Guy just goes crazy when Manu hits a three... "OOHH MAMA! MANU GINOBILI!"

suicidekings · 03-09-12, 11:40 PM

"The Mavs are setting a record tonight for the most timeouts called in a game"
"The Mavs are trailing by 17... A nearly incalculable margin"

To hear them tell it, the Kings are the greatest team in NBA history. I do like the Kings a lot, but these games are so hard to listen to. Game's been largely decided for a while as the Mavs are playing an odd game tonight in terms of shot selection, and losing the TO battle badly. They've already distributed the minutes across the team and won't put in a big effort for the rest of the game.

Pauulzcappin · 03-09-12, 11:48 PM

Unreal game by the Mavs.

alamo · 03-10-12, 12:08 PM

Good luck tonight if you play anything SK

Thanks. Tough card tonight, with little value on any lines. I'm going to have a really hard time not rolling with Dallas again tonight after that poorly managed game last night. I also don't think Minnesota is a -9 home fave, and now that Rubio is done for the year and Love is questionable for tonight, it's really hard not to take the Hornets ML.

Pauulzcappin · 03-10-12, 05:57 PM

I don't think the line would be -9 if they thought Love wouldn't play.

Took them at +200ish, you got awesome value

By the way, I'm on such a bad streak I kinda wish you didn't take them cause it's an almost sure loss.

I've been having a couple of rough days as well. But I just can't let such a fat line sit on the table and not take it.

Pauulzcappin · 03-10-12, 11:25 PM

Will probably take them live for another unit on the next timeout.

That's all I'll risk on the Mavs tonight. Win or lose, I would take these bets every time. The Mavs are too good of a team to play so far below their expected level all game.

Pauulzcappin · 03-10-12, 11:34 PM

They are shooting like 28%. Don't think that will continue throughout the game.

Pauulzcappin · 03-10-12, 11:41 PM

2nd half line is -1. Unreal, books really believing in GS.

Just fueling the anti-Mavs sentiment in the market at the moment, I think. I regret not taking the +14.5 instead of the ML as I feel really good about this game ending much closer, even if the Mavs can't overcome the deficit.
