Thunder G3 is the way to go.

nj1035 · 05-29-12, 10:43 PM

I wouldn't bet against a team that's won 20 in a row. Not saying it can't happen but just doesn't seem smart.

Pauulzcappin · 05-29-12, 10:43 PM

I absolutely HATE betting against streaks but I'll make an exception here. Thunder will win at least one at home and it'll be game 3.

And I'm like one of the biggest Spurs backers there is.

lakerboy · 05-29-12, 10:44 PM

Thunder will close -3.5. I think spurs first half would be a great bet.

Speedy88 · 05-29-12, 10:45 PM

Thinking about going big on OKC, maybe as much as 10% of my bank roll. I'm going to Vegas on Monday, so if it hits I'll withdraw and go big in Vegas.

Ceasars. Anyone got a recommendation for a good sportsbook in Vegas? I went last year only bet at Bally's sportsbook because that is where I stayed. I heard MGM has a pretty good one. Any others?

Perfect. Right in the middle of the Strip.

Don't take your Wife/GF shopping at the Bellagio or Planet Hollywood. That shoot will cost a few thousand real quick.

vasilli07 · 05-29-12, 10:54 PM

Spurs will win game 3. Thunder wins game 4. But Thunder 1st q and 1st half in game 3 seems a good bet.

terpkeg · 05-29-12, 11:05 PM

Thunder -2.5 - largest bet of the year for me

RAVENSFAN · 05-29-12, 11:54 PM

I see -3 at 5D

Yolkix · 05-30-12, 01:36 AM

Yea it moved from -2.5 to -3 really quick at 5d i would say maybe 20 min. I think it closes at maybe -3.5 because sadly I think the public will like OKC yet again. I really like them as well though.

vinny808 · 05-30-12, 02:51 AM

Lol, despite beating OKC twice, the public is still on the Thunder. The Spurs get no credit. Take a night off, if you bet the Spurs in the first two games, enjoy the winnings. You don't have to bet every game. Well I guess some people do..

Pauulzcappin · 05-30-12, 01:12 PM

-3.5 on pinny now

zilchy · 05-30-12, 01:34 PM

It'll be Spurs ML or no play for me. Spurs simply find a way to win games, even on the rare occasion they should have no business winning. How can you bet against that right now? Down by 24 against the Clippers? Easy win no problem. Double digits against the Thunder? Let's reverse that (and then get Hardened ugh).

Snowball · 05-30-12, 03:07 PM

I think the Spurs know how to beat OKC
and that should be obvious by now.

Pauulzcappin · 05-30-12, 03:58 PM

Thunder will get the calls at home. Watch Joe Crawford get picked to ref this game.

zilchy · 05-30-12, 04:04 PM

I think the word you're looking for is 'summoned', Paul. And yeah that would most likely get me to lay off.

El Nino · 05-30-12, 05:09 PM

Just got back from Vegas last weekend. MGM's Sportsbook is garbage. It has to be one of the worst setups I've seen. There is constant traffic walking through it all the time. Not people betting, just people walking through. Tons of scumbags in there. Had over $3K in bets and had to ask for drink tickets...and they gave me 1. 1 drink ticket...place is a joke. Not to mention I cashed a winner and made another bet, girl at the book (who could barely speak English) put my new bet in the drawer and gave me back the ticket I just cashed. I had to argue with her until she realized her mistake. Horrible customer service.

I would suggest Bellagio or Aria. Bellagio is huge and there are always drink girls walking around. As long as you have bets in and tip, they will hook you up. Aria is smaller and does drink tickets. Went there for football last season and service was awesome. Bet around $2K on football and had enough drink tickets for the whole day. Even passed some off when we left.

I have heard that The Wynn and Palazzo are nice too. The Las Vegas Hilton had a huge book, not sure since they remodeled or
Renamed the hotel.

Also, if you feel like venturing off the strip, Green Valley Ranch is Sportsbook heaven. Best kept secret in Vegas. Sportsbook is huge, comfortable leather chairs, friendly locals. I went their during the NCAA tourney this year and it was awesome, didn't have to wait for a chair, huge projection screens and tv's everywhere, even had better lines than the major books. I remember they had UNC +.5 pt higher than every book on the strip. BOL in vegas!

Thanks for the info Nino.

El Nino · 05-30-12, 05:55 PM

No prob Speedy

coop · 05-30-12, 06:32 PM

I trust this insight because OP has been very vocal about the Spurs in games 1 and 2.

Obviously not just chasing OKC.

thanks brother

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 11:13 AM

Thunder 1stQ -1.5 -110 12x

I'll see where to go depending on the start. They should come out firing.

5mike5 · 05-31-12, 11:20 AM

-4 now

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 07:10 PM

-4.5 right now

there's gonna be some heavy late money on san an i suppose.

Speedy88 · 05-31-12, 07:20 PM

Wow I feel pretty good about my OKC -3 ticket. Like a sucker I bought the half point when it was at -3.5. Sprinkled a little on OKC -1.5 1Q and OKC -2.5 1H as well. This is the most I've wagered on one single game. Only a few weeks left in NBA anyways, after that it is break time until NFL.

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 08:23 PM

westbrook is gonna give me a heart attack one of those days.

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 08:28 PM

oh boy...

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 08:29 PM

That's what I get for betting the weaker team... Not sure what to do now.

therushishere · 05-31-12, 08:30 PM

wow I did not expect the spurs to be up by 2 after the first but this is why i didnt bet it

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 08:39 PM

of course they go on a 9-0 run now.

How about the sportsbook at Ceasars where you're staying??? It's a solid book with lots of seats and screens. Check out their seafood buffet as well. Awesome.

You didn't say if you were single or bringing sand to the beach? That makes a difference as well...

Pauulzcappin · 05-31-12, 08:51 PM

took spurs +10 live. meh i set up myself big tonight.
