Two nights in a row now. I'll try to do better so your cardiologist will be happy.

LOL, yeah but we'll take the Winna..

On a nice little roll with the 5* plays winning 5 out of the last 6 plays...

22-18 ATS with NBA 5* plays and 4-2 ATS with 10* plays

Hey John. Wondering what you think of the Knicks - are they a better team without Melo in terms of total team play, scoring, and wins? Not a lot of stats to go on I guess, and I don't really have time nor resources to research, but curious what you thought. I caught some of the 4th in the game the other night - basically bench +2nd bench, and really moving the ball, defending, and scoring well. Makes me like the Wash game tonight. total's down to 192 and NYK +2. Liking the Knicks ML +110/115. What do you think?

I'd be careful with this game. I do/did like the 'under' play for a lean.. I think though that if the 'under' wins Washington will cover. Just food for thought.. Melo has been 'selfish' in many ways, but per hasp for good reasons... Her does not have a big time supporting cast.. The 76ers by comparison are a team. distribute the ball well and are completely unselfish.. Pacers, same thing..

John Ryan · 02-08-12, 05:47 PM

TWo 5* plays for tonight.. the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets

Miami is lined -4 -110 so we are getting the four points with the Magic.
Houston is +7 1/2 -110

Research for both of these plays is on the SBR site. Enjoy and BOL.

illios · 02-09-12, 02:54 AM

Both outright wins! Nice!

LUNT101 · 02-09-12, 08:49 AM

Well done John, keep it up.

chief42 · 02-09-12, 08:54 AM

just curious what amount are you playing these games for? Personally, I play them for 50, 100, 200 respectively.

John Ryan · 02-09-12, 09:25 AM

24-18 ATS with NBA 5* plays and 4-2 ATS with 10* plays.

5* play SO FAR, there may be more, on Sacramento + 6 1/2 -110 hosting the Thunder. Research and detailed analysis will be on the home page of site or on the front page of the NBA section.

Great call last night John. Along with the Gtown winner 3-0. Thanks..

A nice run here with your 5* plays, SWEET!!!

edmskid · 02-09-12, 03:51 PM

Thanks John - it ended up working well, and actually got +120 on the ML. Not sure who that was driving the line, Melo-lovers unite. All hail the mighty Lin. I was leaning over as well, which it turned out to be. I wonder what the stats are on teams playing small ball vs. overs. Just seems like the li'l guys run and shoot all game long....lol...li'l guys, you know 6'8" and such. Yikes. I should be so small. Good call on the other games, I wanted to tail on those but waited too long. What do you think about the Lakers? I think they have a chance to work the inside game in Boston, and I'm leaning on the Lakers ML. Boston can be so mercurial though, tough to predict when they will or won't surge. Thx.

johno35 · 02-09-12, 05:31 PM

Hey John, what do you think about Boston -3? Lakers have failed to cover on the road 9 of the last 11 games as the underdog and Boston has won 9 of the last 10

Like the Lakers.

so, 5* Kings and a 10* on the Lakers. Sorry for the trouble today. Internet has been flashing on/off all day long. 50 MBPS is great, but only when it runs. laugh.. Good luck tonight

Lakers + 3 1/2 -110
Kings + 7 -110

LUNT101 · 02-09-12, 05:46 PM

Will there be an article/research on the Laker game?

chief42 · 02-09-12, 06:23 PM

While the Oklahoma City Thunder might be the hottest team in the Western Conference, find out why I am backing the Sacramento Kings tonight. NBA odds have listed the Kings at +6.5, and I and picking them to cover.

You have +7 on here and 6.5 on the basketball page. I know you say that those .5 rarely matter, but it would be nice for consistency and accuracy. Good luck on the plays tonight.

Looking4Winners · 02-09-12, 06:45 PM

Thanks John. I like the Kings play but I'm going against the Lakers play tonight. Boston is healthy and has won 9 of 10 and has the top defense. The Lakers are not a good road team (at least at this time). IMO the Lakers are a two man team - Kobe and Gasol. Also the Lakers bench is horrible. They have done nothing this season. Boston's "D" should be able to slow Kobe and Gasol and shutdown the Lakers bench and be able to cover the 3.5. I'm also leaning towards the under. BOL to you and thanks again for your research and picks..

edmskid · 02-09-12, 07:30 PM

LAL O86 -110
Par LAL ML +140, O175.5 (yes my book allows that :-) ).
Phx/Hou O197.5 -110

BOL everyone!

illios · 02-09-12, 10:51 PM

Omg! That was so intense.. I had lakers 3.5 + UNDER 176.5. I was for sure I was done for when it went into over time. Got lucky and came out with the win!

Nice pick John!

kj8210 · 02-09-12, 11:54 PM

I just started using this site and I just want to let you know...you're the man!!

illios · 02-10-12, 01:16 AM

Another both outright wins! Amazing!

NYSackExchange · 02-10-12, 02:09 AM

Nice plays.

Big card tomorrow, looking forward to your insight.

LUNT101 · 02-10-12, 09:34 AM

Good shit John

jjaycuny · 02-10-12, 09:42 AM

I accidentally bet 3x more than my normal bet size on Sacramento and I decided to let it ride. Glad I did, thanks John

kj8210 · 02-10-12, 11:48 AM

Hey John what are your thoughts on the Bucks vs Cavs game? I was thinking Bucks -1 but I'm still iffy about it.

BING23 · 02-10-12, 12:33 PM

johns on fire keep it up

John Ryan · 02-10-12, 04:49 PM

Unfortunately, nothing qualifies for tonight.. You must be disclined not to make plays on these nights. I do have a college game though.

LUNT101 · 02-10-12, 05:05 PM

You put up an article on the Jazz...?

Looks like he has a ghost writer.

I assuming the John Ryan that posts here is the real John Ryan. Or maybe the John Ryan that posts the articles is the real John Ryan.

May explain the record keeping at times.
