Dexter's 2011-2012 NBA

[Dexter]

Good response, makes sense now. You post plays because it helps you to keep you controlled/organized. I used to post a record+units in my first thread in the soccer forum. I did pretty well on my record, but I felt it actually restricted the way I managed my money. So basically now I keep a win/draw/loss record for myself in the thread just to track how many games I actually get right, the money management part is up to the people who follow me, and myself.

You're also right about the average % hype on this forum, very overrated. Lot of touts start off their threads here, probably aren't doing well in real life, and hope to get paid for their picks. People like us come here to actually use the forum rather than show off, I respect that.

i do recall seeing you had a very good soccer thread.
anyway, my response to the guy above may have lead people to believe i am against displaying my record/results. i do update my record (like clockwork) once a week - so sometimes that can get missed for the random person stopping in.

Hey Dexter, what do you think about the fact that Nash and Hill were out last night ? Do you like the Spurs to win in OKC tonight ?

you lost me...what does nash/hill have to do with spurs?

no, i actually think the thunder win a close game but am not playing that.

I thought about the A1 play today, do you think that´s bad news for the Pistons that Nash and Hill were out last night ?

yeah, that's not a good thing. still like the play. pistons have been playing great ball and i always love dogs getting that odd # of 5.

why didnt they play last night? late scratches?

[Exxpresso]

I can´t find any reasons why they didnt play. Maybe to rest them for the game tonight. Looking at Portland + 9, over 90% of the public is on the Bulls at this time. Bucks maybe. I´ll stay away too from the OKC game.

Saturday 3/17:

(5u) Bobcats +3 (A1)
(8u) Jazz -6 (A1/A3)
(3u) Nuggets -4.5 (A3)

[Dexter]

is there a better angle in sports then backing a team after their coach gets fired? ..

once again i only went 1u (Port)....had too much action going already.

should make this a dime autobet in all sports..

[Dexter]

ahh...pistons blow it in the 4th. that could have been huge. break even day instead of crushing it...

(3u) Nuggets -4.5 (A3)

Dexter, at which betting site did you get the line for Nuggets? Mine hasn't opened a line for that game yet.

5dimes didn't have the Denver game up yet... so this is what I conjured up...

Bobcats +3.5
Jazz -6
Sixers/Bulls UNDER 186.5

Teased the 3 so that I could be more like Dexter... had 2.5 units to risk (Detroit +15 pushed Kansas) and 3 team teased it for potential of 10 units won. Thought that I would share it with everyone on St. Patrick's Day!

And a toast to go with it...

St. Patrick's Day Toast
Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer – and another one!

Love the plays tonight mate! Golden State humiliated Utah last game they played in Oakland. Payback is a bitch!
I'm thinking if it's best to take Utah -7 or Under 97.5 team total for the Warriors with amazing Under H2H record between the teams.

Toronto plays 4 in 5, on the road and after a win in OT. As far as your A1 plays, it's as good it gets. Couldn't have wished for a better spot if you would have created it yourself...

Boston are amazingly poor in B2B with 4 - 8 ATS, so come to Denver, after a home loss for Denver...
Just wish Pierce plays. Hate going against a team in first game without star player off a bad loss...

Hope you go 3 from 3 tonight!

i dont use offshore sites...local books. but at the time i made these plays heritage, bookmaker had betonline had lines in the 4-5 range.
was off from work yesterday, so i jumped on these fast when my guys came out with lines...

i didnt even know that..i like the angle. just saw this:

The Deseret News reports Jazz center Al Jefferson will play Wednesday and Thursday before leaving the team Friday to attend his grandmother's funeral. Jefferson will spend the weekend with his family and miss Saturday's game against the Warriors and Sunday's game against the Lakers.

It's known news, nothing new and lines were released with this info already. But Utah are very deep in the paint and have enough bodies to cover for him.
Golden State will also be missing Curry (and Bogut of course).

[dmitean]

What is hurting this bet a bit is the fact that Golden State have remarkable 8 - 2 ATS record this season in B2B.
That brings me to the next question, did you try to be more selective with you system plays before?
I mean, there are teams that are amazingly poor in B2B (Boston for example) and there are teams that are really good in B2B (like the Warriors). I think that by lowering/ skipping bets against good B2B teams, you can have much better results, don't you think?

now you're taking the automation out of the bet. i make these type of plays to help me not get emotional during the course of a long season and over-thinking a play during a cold streak.

when do you draw the line and just make the play? the warriors are 8-2 ats in btb as of today. i would be more surprised if they went to 12-2 ats then 8-6 to be honest. thats just how i look at these type of trends. an interesting filter to add to this, but i am happy with the results the last 3 seasons.

Wow...those are great numbers. Unreal. The best I could get when my local opened up last night was +2.5, -7.5 and -6.5. I'm also on the Bobcats and Jazz. Looking to play the Nuggz as well, but I have a hard time laying more than 6. Good luck tonight buddy.

Nice!

Thanks - i was very lucky tonight. Taking off from work yesterday worked to my advantage.

[dmitean]

Very nice work mate and congrats on those good lines!

It WAS St. Patrick's Day! Needed that OT so bad and got it. Thanks for the 3 teamer Dexter... needed it.

[ShogunRua]

Nice job man. That Utah win makes up for that Detroit meltdown the other night. I wasn't too happy about that 3 at the end though as I had -7.

[doogtonmai]

i hope no one had 7.5 on utah....nate robinson hit a 3 down 10 to end the game.

Yep, Utah -8 and Nuggets -7. Horrible night nonethenless. I seen your post immediately, but the lines opened that way at my casino in the morning. Wish I had your local!
