[Ratzz]

Finally got your wish huh.... let the funeral begin.

well.. 'half' my wish i would say.. it appears that LB has vanished... radio silence..

likely capping.. i certainly hope he doesn't go underground tonite

[t-wizzle]

really disappointed with the graphic designing going on in here

[SpreadSniper]

I'm sure he has better things to do than hit 'refresh' every 5 minutes.... my work pays me to hit "f5" every so often.... All he is going to continue to do is post his plays, as he has in the past, so Im not sure what you are trying to prove by making this thread. You could have just as easily posted your plays then determined who had the better record over the 30 day span or what have you.... but then you wouldn't have nearly half the attention you righfully deserve huh?

[SpreadSniper]

go ahead with your picks LB

And since this is your idea, where the fukk are your plays?

Wednesday, February 2nd

Toronto.. +3.5 (1st Quarter)

The Hawks look to win their sixth straight home game in the series Wednesday night as the Raptors try to avoid their first 13-game losing streak in nine seasons. Atlanta (30-18) still managed to win its third in a row over the Raptors.

Toronto is going to end an eight-game road losing streak, the club will likely need a better effort from its top two scorers.
Andrea Bargnani, averaging a team-best 21.1 points, is scoring 16.7 per game and shooting 27.4 percent in the last three. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 9.0 points over that stretch, 6.4 fewer than his season average.

The Hawks, winners of 12 of 14 at home, are looking to bounce back from a 102-91 loss at Dallas on Saturday. Atlanta was outscored 14-1 in the first five-plus minutes of the fourth quarter and missed 11 of 15 shots in the period. Atlanta has won nine of the last 11 meetings and will try to sweep the season series for the first time since 1998-99.


New Jersey.. +1 (1st Quarter)
New Jersey.. +2.5 (Full Game)

The Philadelphia 76ers have won four of five and are coming off an impressive bounce-back victory, the 76ers try to record rare back-to-back road wins Wednesday night as they seek a seventh straight victory over the improving New Jersey Nets, who have lost once in their last six at the Prudential Center.

The 76ers have gone 14-4 in their last 18, but they haven't been able to solve their season-long road woes. The Sixers have won back-to-back contests once in their last 39 road games. They've won six straight against the Nets overall -New Jersey's recent resurgence has plenty to do with the offensive revival of Lopez. The third-year center averaged 11.0 points in his first four January games, but scored 24.7 over his final 11. Lopez has averaged 19.3 points in the six consecutive losses to the Sixers.


Phoenix.. –1.5 (1st Quarter)
Phoenix.. –5 (Full Game)

The Phoenix Suns lost a third straight game upon returning from a five-game road trip, but they've recovered with impressive victories over two of the league's hottest teams.
The Suns have beaten the Milwaukee Bucks 22 straight times in Phoenix, an astounding streak they might not have trouble extending Wednesday night if Bucks center Andrew Bogut can't play. They held Boston to 34.2 percent shooting in an 88-71 win Friday, then handed New Orleans its second loss in 12 games with a 104-102 victory Sunday.

The emergence of Marcin Gortat has certainly helped. Gortat chipped in occasionally but was hardly dominant in his first 12 games with the Suns after coming over from Orlando, but he has five double-doubles in his last seven games. The Suns' 7-3 record since Feb. 12 is impressive, but it shouldn't take much to intimidate Milwaukee. The Bucks (19-27) haven't won in Phoenix since Feb. 21, 1987, surrendering an average of 113.7 points.


LA Clippers.. +0.5 (1st Quarter)
LA Clippers.. +2 (Full Game)

No revenge for Chicago. Los Angeles Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro made it clear that his December victory over the Chicago Bulls was more than just another win after being fired by the team in May. Another victory over his former club might make for an even greater accomplishment.

The Clippers shoot for the franchise's longest home winning streak in 35 years Wednesday night when they face the Central Division-leading Bulls, winners of five straight.
Blake Griffin had 32 points and 11 rebounds Monday to help Los Angeles (19-28) beat Milwaukee 105-98 for its ninth straight victory at Staples Center. The big man is averaging 27.7 points and 13.3 rebounds during the home streak. Leading scorer Eric Gordon missed his fourth straight game due to a right wrist injury, but Randy Foye has proved to be a suitable replacement. The guard scored 20 points against the Bucks and is averaging 19.0 in Gordon's absence.

Los Angeles, averaging 109.1 points during its run at home, embarks on an 11-game road trip following Wednesday's contest. The Clippers have won three straight against the Bulls (33-14), taking the most recent matchup 100-99 on Dec. 18 in Chicago. Los Angeles entered that contest with a 6-21 record and a four-game losing streak, but the win began its current 13-7 stretch.

Good Luck

[vyomguy]

now dont edit your picks 100 times...ok?

[CappiNoob]

1st post, been watching lyon/lakerboy thread for a couple weeks now. Good luck to both of you. Personally, I don't understand where all the hate for Ratz is coming from. Maybe it is just because he is posting against lb in lb's own thread I suppose. But I like as much info as possible and I think Rat has been hot lately and his info is useful. LB has had some losing nights lately and Ratz may be taking advantage of that but oh well, it happens, everyone hits losing streaks.

This will be a fun thread, I'm sure, as long as LB comes and posts some plays.

Return of the Jedi

Rat you need to post units along with your plays. And i thought the contest was for full game sides/totals only

[raiders510]

Return of the Jedi Rat you need to post units along with your plays. And i thought the contest was for full game sides/totals only

exactly true

[Pensinger1]

Lol, this guy is going to get owned.

[EliteCapper]

really disappointed with the graphic designing going on in here

Lol I'm was a graphic designer and changing fonts, sizes, colors lol that has nothing to do with Graphic designing

[Ratzz]

Return of the Jedi

Rat you need to post units along with your plays. And i thought the contest was for full game sides/totals only

1X per... pretty clear, unless otherwise specified

[ROFLcopter]

What's even more clear was the rules of the contest. So i guess its clear that your 1st Q plays don't count.

[Ratzz]

What's even more clear was the rules of the contest. So i guess its clear that your 1st Q plays don't count.

LB added a hockey line... that was not part of deal... NBA

but if a 1Q is available in a Casino, or online book.. (if you can actually make $$$ at it)
i do not see why it should not be available

this is about generating wins...

"take your shot through whatever gaps that you see, there aren't many.."

[Ratzz]

Return of the Jedi

Rat you need to post units along with your plays. And i thought the contest was for full game sides/totals only

each play is 1X.. in the pm that LB sent to me and LOU (mod), the specs were 1x each play... i thought that was the rule..

as for whole games.. there are 'three' there...

i like 1Qs.. as well i have pretty good luck there..

i really don't care.. if someone predicts that a cloud would turn green, and there was a line... and it happened.. then that counts toward their record.

a Stockbroker is not restricted to computer software companies, but the entire market, i don't see the difference.

again, unless posted otherwise, (1X) is the bet

[t-wizzle]

So you're flat betting... didn't know that's how gambling works

[betme]

0-2 baby lol

[raiders510]

0-2 baby lol

[betme]

[raiders510]

This will be my last comment in here, as it should be for LB and Ratzz to post their plays. good luck tonight fellas

[betme]

good man, Raids... thanx

i ahad a bad night.. but truth be told, learning curve is always much greater on losing nights..

becoz (speaking for myself) i go back and ask "how could i have been so wrong?"

i think i found out why tonight..

nothing to me is worse, than being wrong and not understanding why, not being able see it.. knowing that i would likely make the same decision again..

i went back and look at my capping info.. and how i lost made perfect sense..
i should have.. better decisions tomorrow..

cheers2u

[vyomguy]

2-5...lol...a monkey can do better than this.

[Ratzz]

2-5...lol...a monkey can do better than this.

no argument there. 2-5 terrible..

felt like LB for an evening... it was ruff....

but learned something.. (or so i think)

we will see if real or imagined … tomorrow

[IllicitX]

Man, ya'll stupid as shit for this. We should all be working together to develop a formula and succeed as a team instead of this bullshit beefing. Grow the hell up and focus on making money, not enemies.

Everyone has bad days, iVe seen Ratz go perfect days however I have to say the same thing as everyone else, why care so much about what others think? The true sharps will know eventually who are the top pickers and the pros they dont even bother posting them these days as they just have nothing to prove.

LB is doing us a favour by posting his pics. I just dont understand why this drama and competition thing as its just all nonsense. Just make your pics and keep going at it. Everyone has bad days but u just needt o surpass that and make sure u make every1 else money.
The rest will follow.
