A rare pick thread

Good luck. After the Bulls collapse and Portland being a no-show last night, I think I'm done with the NBA for a while.

Good luck with your picks. I like your humble yet confident approach, may both be winners.

What do you like about Minnesota against Indiana? I'm leaning towards the Pacers for sure.

The more they play without him the better they will be at it. They still have a nice core unit, especially up front. I think Minny is overvalued.

Twolves have 10 white guys on 15 man roster. No play for me.

Ch Br · 11-09-12, 01:12 PM

IND
1 worst fg % in league
2 points in the paint will be minn easy
3 SLOW ploding offense.. cant move ball
4 comin off a let down where they were int it at the end of the game

5 - MInn at home

Ive been lookin at this game ... these are the major factors

greenhippo · 11-09-12, 04:25 PM

Like others have said, Minny at home, Pacers can't put up points and I don't think they've had enough time to adjust to not having Granger. At home would have taken Pacers -2. Nets are just a better team.

Thanks man, tailed you for $500 a play and worked out quite nicely.

Keep it up!

Same games, same decision here. The longer I stay away the better.

I had a feeling buying the .5 on the Minny game that it would help. Very few of my wagers come down to a point or half a point.

Going with an early tease for Sunday action

Over 40 in the Broncos/Panthers game
Over 46 in the Saints/Falcons game

The average Saints game ends with an average score of 56 points
Falcons: 45

Broncos: 51
Panthers: 41

All we're shooting for is an average game for all four teams and it's looking pretty good. I see Falcons easily scoring 28 points in this contest and winning by at most a TD if not losing straight up. A Saints win almost assures a cover here. I actually had to do a double-take when looking at Carolina's PA and PF, I thought they scored a bit more than 18.6 a game. Much like the Saints, if they win this game it will assure a win on the over, if not an average offensive day will be enough in defeat to cover as well.

Both seem like safe picks on paper, but we'll see how things go on Sunday.

greenhippo · 11-10-12, 02:33 PM

Over 190 in the Celtics/Bucks matchup tonight
76ers +2.5 and ML tonight against Toronto

greenhippo · 11-10-12, 04:32 PM

Means nothing now because I didn't place a wager but I went into today thinking A&M would win or lose by a FG. Johnny is a hell of a QB and that offense has been putting up some gaudy numbers.

greenhippo · 11-10-12, 09:36 PM

Not looking like I hit the Overs, but the 76ers should have been a PK at worst.

greenhippo · 11-10-12, 09:37 PM

8th in NBA Hoops Madness. Probably my highpoint.

greenhippo · 11-11-12, 01:56 AM

See if I can't put together a few more days of luck.

Nets -8
Heat -2
Under 203 Thunder/Cavs

Should have been updating this thread. Won 9 straight in the Hoops Madness contest, including Raptors ML at +400 and feeling pretty good overall.

Going with Heat ML at +130 against Denver tonight.

10 straight wins

greenhippo · 11-16-12, 01:57 PM

11 in a row?

Blazers -1.5

Edit: Also taking Blazers ML for a little too

greenhippo · 11-17-12, 01:12 AM

12 in a row?

Guess I should be making outlandish comments and shit for attention so people can see some winners.

beantownm3 · 11-17-12, 01:16 AM

I'm a celtics season ticket holder so I usually bet the nights I go to the game. Doesn't look like I'll be making too much money off the Celtics this season.

greenhippo · 11-17-12, 01:22 AM

I find it best to bet against your team, if they win you essentially paid for your team to win. If they lose, well at least you made money.

No coincidences · 11-17-12, 02:32 AM

Outstanding work.

greenhippo · 11-17-12, 03:01 AM

Its days like this that I wish I A) Had the time and B) Live betting was offered for all or most of the NBA games. When Portland was down 15 I thought without question they would come back and win the game. Rockets are a shit team.
