Iceman, thoughts on the Lakers to cover?

Sorry I didn't read this until now VVET. If I had read it I would have said I rarely bet big favorites in the NBA. Too many other games out there that have far better value in my opinion. I will take an underdog on a big spread when I feel there is value. I will also take a strong favorite in College Basketball. In the NBA a lot of teams are just content to win the game and not always out to crush their opponent like the College teams like to do.

Interesting note on this game. I wanted to bet to win $140 and Pinnacle said the maximum bet was $100. Quite strange and makes me like this play even more. I am going to make another bet with another book.

Edit: I bet to win another $44 to win $40 using my other sports book. So my official play is $153 to Win $140 on this game.

with you on NW/Purdue over. just have to hope that NW doesn't put up one of their 40-odd point "performances." i see Purdue getting 70, so we just need NW to get into the mid 50s. BOL tonight.

Heat won big baby!

Here is my belated info. Toronto blows and the Heat on the ML for -108? I will take that any day of the week. Hope you went big on it yourself.

1 unit for me now is $140.00

Therefore a $280 bet means its 2 units.

You can do the math from there.
