My NBA Picks Round 1.

**H1Cypher** · 01-29-12, 07:45 PM

1-1 For the day +0.0 units exactly

2nd Official Play: 2nd Quarter: Boston Celtics Cavaliers under 44.5 -110 risking .55 to win .50

1st period went over. 2nd period went under. I could have taken the 1st half under but 2 more points from both quarters and and the 1st half under would be screwed- but the 2nd quarter under would still be possible.

Bringing my overall thread record to:

Official Thread Record:
Props: 4-1 +2.55 Basketball Bets: 14-5 +7.35 units
Total for the thread: 18-6.
Leans/Unofficial Plays: 4-2 Units not tracked.

+ units are small cause the max bet has been to win 1 unit so far with alot being only to win .5. I'm betting more on some of the plays I post.
And like I said I'm 5-0 on the first to score prop and posted 1 earlier so that 1 definitely including in the official record.

**H1Cypher** · 01-29-12, 08:10 PM

Lean/Unofficial Play: La Clippers +2 -125 1st Quarter.

**H1Cypher** · 01-29-12, 08:26 PM

Wow these nuggets are a dirty team. Ticky tack touches on defense, and flopping all over the place. George karl really has them playing good basketball

**H1Cypher** · 01-29-12, 08:41 PM

0-1 on the Lean/Unofficial Play.

Looked like a good bet but didn't pan out. Clips had em but let em go and lost by 1 point. Takes Leans from 4-2 to 4-3.

Official Thread Record:
Props: 4-1 +2.55 Basketball Bets: 14-5 +7.35 units
Total for the thread: 18-6.
Leans/Unofficial Plays: 4-3 Units not tracked.

The Leans/Unofficial play record is a totally separate record.

**H1Cypher** · 01-29-12, 08:46 PM

Probably should have taken the day off today. Ended up just down slightly. On the thread I'm even. 9 winning days in a row(not on the thread just in general). Funny thing is if I hadn't of dozed off for 15 minutes before the Laker and Minnesota game I wouldve taken + on the Lakers and been even on the day and up on the thread.

**H1Cypher** · 01-29-12, 10:23 PM

Watching this Clipper game have no money on it other than the 1st quarter bet. These refs are wow.... Al harrington passes to himself and there is no call. In a 1 point game in the closing minutes....

Blake goes up for a dunk and gets clawed but no call and Denver gets the ball. Wow what kinda homer calls are these. How did Denver become the nba darlings of the nba with these gracious calls.

Clippers bout to cover the spread but really should be getting the win. Missed my 1st quarter spread bet though =/.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 04:52 PM

First Official Play: Oklahoma City Thunder to win Straight Up 1st half vs Clippers -120 to win: 1 unit

Clippers have one of the worse benches in the NBA. 23 points with Mo Williams scoring most of those. Unlike most teams their starters and Mo pretty much do all the heavy lifting. Oklahoma meanwhile averages 34 points off the bench. Oklahomas bench may not be as effective on the road. Clippers bench is mostly Mo Williams though. Oklahoma being rested and the better team(also better than Denver) I think they will be able to take it to the Clippers.

Yesterday Offical plays went 1-1 Unofficial/Lean Play went 0-1.

Official Thread Record:
Props: 4-1 +2.55 Basketball Bets: 14-5 +7.35 units
Total for the thread: 18-6.
Leans/Unofficial Plays: 4-3 Units not tracked.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 04:59 PM

Going to change it to Oklahoma winning to 1st half -120 just buying the point incase it's tied.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 05:20 PM

I'm also going to bet on Miami Heat vs Hornets 1st quarter -4. Pretty automatic to always bet against the Hornets especially with Gordon and Kaman out. Just my opinion and what I'll be doing. Not gonna add it to the record yet maybe before tipoff.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 06:23 PM

Here are my thoughts on anyone playing +2 Clippers for the game. You must really think the Clippers are going to win? otherwise why play +2? If you have doubt that the Clippers will win you may as well flip a coin rather than play the +2. No edge in playing the -2 or the +2 for either team in my opinion for this game.

I'm avoiding betting the end result of the game in general unless you're betting totals for that game.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 07:29 PM

2nd Official Play: Miami Heat -4 1st quarter -120 risk .6 units to win .5

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 08:01 PM

3rd Official Play Houston Rockets -2 1st Quarter -115 to win: .5 units.

**SiMON2g** · 01-30-12, 08:41 PM

Houston play great ball in the 2nd quarter.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 08:47 PM

Yeah they'll probably start creating distance now that my bet is lost

0-2 on the last second Official Plays. Will update at the end of the day.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 09:54 PM

Wanted to put a bet on the Spurs like the rest of the betting public(over 90% of the people on Spurs moneyline) at +210... and the Spurs resting their starters in a game they were so close to winning yesterday. They had the look of a team not wanting to let another one slip away- Whole world seemed to notice this.

Why didn't I place a bet on that

Just venting on my own thread =p

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 11:07 PM

65.2% field goal percentage 62.5% 5 for 8 from 3 in the 1st quarter for the Clips. Shit this is how it goes for me today

Still 1 quarter to go but I'm not counting on it. Will prolly cut it close for a sweat but meh.

**H1Cypher** · 01-30-12, 11:20 PM

May as well update it now. 0-3 -2.35 units On my official plays today.

Official Thread Record:
Props: 4-1 +2.55 Basketball Bets: 14-8 +5.00 units
Total for the thread: 18-9.
Leans/Unofficial Plays: 4-3 Units not tracked.

max bet has been to win 1 unit thus far with alot of bets to win only .5 units.

**H1Cypher** · 02-01-12, 03:38 PM

Official Play: Prop: Blake Griffin Over 10 rebounds vs Utah Jazz -120 to win risking .6 units to win .5

**H1Cypher** · 02-01-12, 08:15 PM

I sure hope the the loud noise and sigmatech go under today.

**H1Cypher** · 02-01-12, 10:00 PM

If the Suns lose the Hornets tied in the 4th with Steve Nash going 10-13 thus far... I'm going to change my stance on the NBA not being rigged. The NBA owned Hornets with their F-League squad are gonna win this game?

Really? Really though? No bets on that game either.

I've watched these Hornets players on other teams play **** all. They have all bench players playing right now- and guys that might not even make the 2nd string. C'mon now.

**H1Cypher** · 02-01-12, 11:36 PM

This is total bull shit I heard the mic while watching the game. Paul said "and one" that's a direct quote- and a tech half a second later-

No bet on this game for me either. just find it funny that he got a tech for "and one". thanks to those mics near the rim for showing how bad these refs really are.

Clippers get alot of bull shit calls in their favor, not in this game... but it's still funny.

**H1Cypher** · 02-02-12, 01:50 AM

1-0 for the day with Blakes Prop hitting +.5 units. Brings the overall thread record to:

Props: 5-1 +3.05 Basketball Bets: 14-8 +5.00 units
Total for the thread: 19-9.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 07:52 PM

First Official Play: Prop Carmelo Anthony OVER 6 rebounds vs Celticcs -120 risking .6 units to win .5

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 07:56 PM

Leans/Unofficial Play: Carmelo Anthony 25.5 points Over +100.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 08:18 PM

Amare tips away rebound #2 for Melo. **** you Amore play some defense asshole

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 09:11 PM

Took the Heat(at -125 moneyline how can you not invest in that? oh yeah that's right it's a trap

)

Also had the over 191 for the game... and it was looking like an easy double hit. Oh well, I'll take the Heat win.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 10:03 PM

They should just let Stan Van Gundy be commiss- that idea about going back looking at the film and shoving it up floppers asses is one of the best of the decade. These floppers fuckin suck, and every team is doing it.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 10:30 PM

Gonna grade those 2 picks once the game is over.

For the next game: Official Play: Andrew Bynum points + rebounds over 28 +115 to win .5units
2nd Official Play: Kobe Bryant 29.5 points over -135(it was at like -115 earlier shoulda bet it then props fluctutate fast grrr) to win: .5 units

Unofficial play: Ty Lawson points +assists over 20 -140

I like the match up... Denver gets out on the fastbreak. Pau points + rebounds over 26 at +115 also caught my eye. It'd be tough for both frontcourt players to go under, both might go over- but I doubt both go under.

I also like the Lakers to turn it around and finally start playing well on the road. But not going to bet that, may do live play if the game is close.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 11:00 PM

Ron Artest plays like a retired Dennis Rodman. Needs to check into celebrity rehab and stop pretending to play basketball. What is he shooting now? 20% on wide open shots?

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 11:07 PM

I seriously think Troy Murphy may as well start at SF, lol. I have no doubt he is faster than Ron Artest- longer.... and a much better shooter. 6ft 10 power forward.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 11:15 PM

I wonder how horrible Mike Brown is. It's not hard coaching this starting lineup to stay in the game(which they always do)... but this asshole can't coach the bench for shit. Hmm he's good at coaching guys who have been producing most of their career- but can't get jack shit out of his bench.

Same shit that happened in Clevevland- the good players keep his dumb ass in the game. This bumbling idiot... how did the Lakers not hire Rick Adelman(who has the Timberwolves playing amazing).

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 11:40 PM

I hate this euroleague bull shit game Denver plays. I always see this team flopping. This isn't futbol gtfo of the NBA

Very fun to watch- but this one of the best flopping teams in the NBA. I hope they are proud.

**H1Cypher** · 02-03-12, 11:54 PM

I'm gonna start posting 'value plays' I notice... for example I noticed Lakers to score first 10 points +115.... Lakers to score 15 points first +120. Both of which are now even or at -. By value I mean you are getting + for a play you are no worse than 50/50... thus the value.

That's an example... next time I'm gonna post it before the line fluctuates.

Does not mean they are winners just means I see value in the bet.

**H1Cypher** · 02-04-12, 12:22 AM

It's all right Kobe stop giving the ref the look of death and play the game. You weren't getting these calls last year either.... the Jordan Rules no longer apply to you.

Rose, Durant.... young baller movement.

**H1Cypher** · 02-04-12, 12:29 AM

With all the moves Rose, Durant, and lebron wish they could make that you've been working in this game... I know you should have gotten to the line more than 5 times. Despite shooting this atrocious percentage for the game.
