The NBA 2011-2012 Season Picks with John Ryan

John Ryan · 03-09-12, 05:42 PM

I tend to stay the course with the line plays only, unless I note otherwise. Getting into favorites using the money line gets a bit risky. I love takig TWO +140 or higher dogs in the NHL or MLB and playing them separate and as a parlay.

John Ryan · 03-09-12, 05:43 PM

5* Titan on the Lakers tonight +1 -10 playing Minnesota

I like Portland a bit too as a thought for of you to debate

John Ryan · 03-10-12, 12:32 PM

5* Memphis -2 playing Phoenix
5* Golden State -3 -110 playing Dallas.

Reports on on the front page of the site. Thanks to all and BOL

chief42 · 03-10-12, 12:53 PM

A little leery of that Golden State play, they haven't figured out how to close out games just yet. BOL.

Agreed. I think the mavs are a better team with + points

GSW is rested though. Dallas is not.

talbotia · 03-10-12, 02:50 PM

Golden state is gonna run the floor and the tired/old mavs team just won't be able to keep up with. Remember b2b2b against a rested team.

@ nkv002---I don't think John is bragging about his picks and his 5* are low risk, low reward wagers. All his picks are free and he is hands down the best Pro on here. Don't complain and run your mouth, if you don't like it go somewhere else.

Thanks for the compliment. It means a ton to me.

John Ryan · 03-11-12, 10:51 AM

Again, please double check the updated record presented here.

5* Titans 45-33 ATS, 10* titans 7-2 ATS, and 2-2 ATS with 20* Titans

Hey John, anything for today?

John Ryan · 03-11-12, 08:20 PM

no.. I really ddi not like anything on the card today.. I did have to put 13 plays in the NBA weekly contest that ended today not realizing that there was a minimum of 24 plays needed to make over the course of a week. It is very difficult to make money in sports wagering when you are playing an average of nearly four or more plays per day in the same sport.

How did everyone do today?

76ers certainly pounded the Knicks. Booing at Madison Square Garden.. Wow.. and Lin had one more assist than turnover.. he si a great story, but somehow, they have to find a way to protect him a bit more. Double teams are very difficult for Lin to defeat in the half court sets.

N.C.truebet77 · 03-12-12, 01:09 AM

I had a bad day...I had under 194 for Knicks/Sixers and total was 200 after a 62pt 3rd qtr!! who would have though with sixers D...I also had 2 team parlay Warriors + 7.5 and they won the game, over 198 and total was 190 clippers shot terrible..For tonight should I say since its 2:07am, I like Spurs-14 at home vs Wizards and Clippers since Celtics are on 2nd day of back to back road games...Especially since Clippers blew it vs Warriors...What do you think about these 2 games John??

sharkk · 03-12-12, 12:40 PM

Went hard on 76ers+Grizzlies yesterday, made some good cash.
Today I'm going with Pistons, might run timberwolves too.
I need a John Ryan pick though! He's the only reason I visit this site lol.

John Ryan · 03-12-12, 05:06 PM

10* Minnesota,,, -

10* graded play on Minnesota as they take on Phoenix in NBA action set to start at 10:00 PM ET. My proprietary sports handicapping database and simulator shows a high probability that Minnesota will lose this game by fewer than three points and have an excellent shot at winning the game. Minnesota is projected to shoot between 43 and 47% from the field in this game. In past games, Minnesota is a solid 21-9 ATS (+11.1 Units) in road games when their opponents make 43% to 47% of their shots in a game over the last three seasons; 32-48 ATS (-20.8 Units) when they make 43% to 47% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 22-8 for 73% winners making 17.5 units per one unit wagered since 1996. Play on any team using the money line revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points and facing opponents off two or more consecutive upset wins as a home dog. Ricky Rubio is out of the remainder of the season and is a serious blow to Minnesota, but this has been exaggerated in the line. Love is a player than can take a team on his back and they do have some strong depth coming off the bench. Moreover, there is added motivation for the Timberwolves to end a nine-game losing streak to the Suns dating back to 2009. Take Minnesota.

tough call, here.
Good Luck

Just_Wynn_Baby · 03-12-12, 05:58 PM

What is the spread you are grading this play as a 10* at ?

chief42 · 03-12-12, 06:22 PM

I remember we took them as a 20* with the same spread and lost it late in the game. Not saying that will happen again, just left a bad taste in the mouth.BOL

What are you talking about? He has no obligation to me or anyone else here. The only obligation he may have is to SBR staff, and that may not even be true. He is providing his knowledge for free, at least while he is on here. I am not sure what he does on other sites.

the other day on texas you still calling it a 5 * ?

N.C.truebet77 · 03-12-12, 11:16 PM

Let all the confusion between 5* or 10* or 20* go...It's in the past, mistakes happen...Like Chief said this sight is free and John's picks are free. No matter how good you are as a handicapper everyone goes in a slump. Hate I missed the 10* on the Wolves, cause it's looking like a winner. Got decent money on the Clippers so let's get it and take out the ageing Celts on their b2b. ...

Thanks John, I made back some of my loss from that ridiculous Detroit game..

epr038 · 03-12-12, 11:42 PM

Nice call on the wolves tonight John! And Memphis & G.S yesterday. Let's get this tourney rollin'

talbotia · 03-13-12, 01:45 AM

didn't get a chance to check you post because i left for work at 4 but ended throwing 100 down on this same bet!!
saw this post in the break room around 630 and it felt good to be on the right side!
KEEP IT UP

I just won a +155 thanks to good ole JR

John Ryan · 03-13-12, 04:10 PM

I like the Lakers tonight as a 5* graded Titan getting one point -110.

jjaycuny · 03-13-12, 06:47 PM

John, in a situation like this with the Lakers +1.5 dogs, is there more value in taking the ML +105?

moshi · 03-13-12, 10:31 PM

Another winner!!!

Keep up the good work as always!

John Ryan · 03-14-12, 05:12 PM

5* New Orleans + 4 1/2 -110
5* San Antonio - 7 1/2 -110

and do you really think firing the Knicks coach is coaching to change the selfish me-first culture of the NY Knicks?
