How many guys willing to lay -205 on Lakers tonight?

[wantitall4moi]

Really shocked to see that move. I can see Washington covering 5.5 pretty easily but winning outright is a stretch. But Lakers opened -220, moved right to -230 and have since steadily fallen. I seriously think this gets to 195 maybe even 190 before Lakerville hammers it back up to -240.


Was has definitely started playing better, especially at home, and Lakers played last night. But come on losing to the Wizards? I know the lakers suck and have issues, but really? Lose tot he Wizards? Come on now say it isnt possible....

[DudleyDawson]

Lakers on a b2b at New Orleans a couple weeks ago.

Expect more of the same tonight.

[Jrod124]

Wizards are terrible, I would stay away from this one

[BIGDAY]

Too unpredictable. Might not lay one wager on or against them all year.

[mynameismud]

if lakers lose tonight...kobe will start stabbing his men after the game.

[bhodgin]

I'm 0-4 betting on the Lakers this year. Bound to win eventually right?

Not even worth it. Best to stay away.

Ask goat

[yisman]

The Lakers are thin even with Gasol and Nash.

Without them, they're left with four players:

Artest (not that good), Kobe, Howard, and Jordan Hill (possibly starting caliber)

the rest of the team is comprised of guys who shouldn't be playing minutes for a contender.

Duhon, Jamison, Ebanks, Morris, and Meeks

So it's no great surprise the Lakers are seriously struggling. As presently constructed, they can't afford injuries to Kobe, Howard, Gasol, or Nash.

Kobe and Howard are playing 42-44 minutes a game.

That doesn't go well with back to backs.

Damn gates.......over three dimes riding on the Lakers. I've heard you like eating ass..........hope the Lakers win or it may be Tony's you'll be face planted in.

[PanamaBrad]

Don't really know why but i think Lakers win this one.

[wantitall4moi]

If it gets to -190 I am going to do something rally stupid...Polish Middle. I will lay the 190 and take +6 (I will get it from one of my locals) I am hoping it moves around enough so I do even better than that. I man Lakers have made me so much money without gambling I can afford to take a silly shot every now and then on them.

If they win by 1,2,3,4,5, I look like a genius (even more than I have looked regarding these guys :P)

[ngates815]

I figured Tony has enough money to shower, so hopefully it'll be fresh if thats what it comes to.
But I have faith in your squad tonight...I was going to go to the Xmas game out there, but missed on flights by a couple days. Saw them for 300 round trip, now they're up to around 700, so we decided to say fukk it...And just come out there in January. Maybe you join us for game and we get on kiss cam, 3 way or 4 way if your wife comes.

That's a middle. Polish middle is when you bet a team -7.5, the line drops, and then you bet the dog at +5.5, giving you a shot at a Polish middle.

this right here. ebanks wasnt even that good at wvu and hes seeing time. meeks duhon morris are good 12th men maybe instead they are clanking wide open 3s (wonder why they are wide open) in the 2nd and 3rd qtr. jamison is completely washed up. howard is a rent a player giving maybe 50 percent effort since hes gone at the end of the year and hes not the man on this team so no one is really paying attention. MWP should probably be a 6th man now. this all adds up to the mess you have now with phil jackson and mike brown laughing there asses off somewhere. phil knew they were finished 2 years ago and thats why he retired, he wanted to go in 2010 actually if you remember correctly. his rumored "return" was all about ego stroking and sticking it in jim buss's face one last time.

[wantitall4moi]

That's a middle. Polish middle is when you bet a team -7.5, the line drops, and then you bet the dog at +5.5, giving you a shot at a Polish middle.

yeah I know but when I use MLs favs and dogs I call them Polish middles, because their theoretical rate of success isnt enough to be theoretically Ev. Same as baseball you take a-1.5 RL on the fav and the dog ML, not technically a middle since both sides cant win but I still call them Polish. Same as Alt RLs and RLs, betting both teams -1.5. 1 run games kills them both. That is a true Polish.

But yes I know any bet you make were BOTH sides can lose is a Polish middle. But if I bet ON the Lakers in any capacity I am already a loser so ya know...

[as99]

Parlayed Lakers with an MMA match for 1 Unit.

Another reason why I won't go larger is Kobe's back, he was wincing in pain in the back while being interviewed. Not to mention they can lose straight up.

explain this "polish middle" to me because i would slap you in the face with my rooster if i heard that on the street. so please explain where this term came from, what it means, and show facts.

[brainfreeze0]

It's been a pretty prevalent sports betting terminology in the sports betting world for a while. A 2 second Google search "sports betting polish middle" will show that. I doubt there is a liguistic guide to show the terms origin, nor does there need to be since it is such a regular term in the sports betting world.

[wantitall4moi]

A polish middle is one that can lose if you middle yourself, the one I listed isnt technically a Polish middle, but it is a bet that doesnt really make sense. It is derived from the belief that Polish people arent too bright.

It is more commonly used in football when you get odds around so called key numbers that can be positive both ways. Good example is Car and SD. You can take Car+2.5 for say +110, and could buy, or wait to see -3.5 on SD for say +118 or +120. Each 100 on Car makes you 10 bucks if they cover, each 100 on SD makes you 18-20 bucks(depending on what line you can find). So you make money no matter what. Only way to lose is if the game lands with SD winning by exactly 3. Then you lose both bets.

Dont be surprised if wiz win this outright. Lakers = old Clippers

I thought a polish middle was where You couldn't lose both bets, but have the chance of winning both bets.
Where you only can eat 10 bucks or so of juice.
Bet a game at -2.5 and bet the other side at +4.5 when the line moves...Can only lose 1 bet...Have chance at winning both or losing juice on 1.


You're way seems like you're just betting a -2000 bet...You can either win 10 or 20 on a risk of 200 bucks, which could possibly lose both.

I edit this...but I'm a dumbass not wantit
I am sorry.

That's going for a regular middle.

A Polish middle is the opposite. You bet +2.5 and then bet the other side at -4.5 when the line moves.
