    Atlanta Hawks +13.5 Is The NBA Play For Tonight!
    Milwaukee over Atlanta, it's a mismatch, right? The answer, of course, is YES. But how much incentive will these Bucks have to keep the pedal to the medal when they have one eye on tomorrow night's showdown against Toronto? Atlanta has begun to play marginally better of late, covering 5 of their last 7 ATS. I'll gladly take the nearly two touchdown cushion. Play ATLANTA.

    My personal card will also have these plays......

    WASHINGTON +7.5 at Miami. Usually when a team loses their star player to injury (ie. Lakers) you'd expect a fall off in their level of play. The Wizards just lost John Wall to season-ending foot surgery but I anticipate very little fall off mainly because they're highly dysfunctional and they weren't playing well even with Wall. Washington has won 2 in a row and, hard to believe, they're still in playoff discussions. This is the start of a tough 3 game road trip and may be their easiest opportunity. Take the points.

    NEW YORK KNICKS +7.5 at L.A Lakers. I'm usually not a fan of putting hard-earned money on these Knicks, but in this case it's more about fading the injury-riddled Lakers. Lebron, Rondo, and now Kuzma (?) are sipping wine on the sidelines. The young Lakes are far more talented than NY but with this short bench I don't see any pull away potential.

    As always, best of luck

            Love this logic: let's bet all terribly underperforming underdogs hoping we're on the right side because hey there's nothing that screams sharp picks then throwing darts on the board hoping to hit a bullseye.

            This is what this guy is essentially doing here. Better beware!!!

                  I just joined this site as a poster recently but I have been checking in and tailing several of the basketball for quite some time. I make all of my own college football plays but I don’t follow basketball as closely so I tail others. I started tiling Ayo in college basketball about 4 or 5 years ago, and I’ve been tailing Harry sporadically for the past three seasons or so and I will be the first to say he no dart thrower. Start fading his plays and see how that works for you or bettor yet start a thread of your own and do better. Anyway there’s people who enjoy the write ups and the picks in this thread so take your negativity elsewhere. I personally will be tailing these for a couple hundred each and if they don’t work out I’ll tail him again the next time he posts.

                    How could anyone in their right mind trust the opinion of a guy with a picture of Barrack Osama in his avatar anyway?

                      I bet on the Bucks. While I've never seen any actual statistics on this, I always get the impression that bookmakers don't make the betting lines for lopsided NFL and especially NBA games as big as they should be. There seems to be a belief that you shouldn't predict routs to occur in professional sports leagues.

                        Frankly, I think most people on here are throwing darts against the wall. How many people on here could reach the 52.38% mark if they made 1000 or more bets? I'm guessing no more than about 5% of this website.

                          You bet Notre Dame against Clemson on Saturday so obviously you know nothing. Anybody who knows anything about college football would’ve known better. The fact you are on the other side makes me feel better.

                                                        River, I picked the wrong team to put in the thread title (by a lot, by the way) but the answer is I generally play all my plays the same amount.

                                                        For me, I always choose to play an odd number of teams (1,3, or 5) simply hoping I win more than I lose and turn a profit for the night.

                                                        Tonight, 2 of 3. I'm happy.

                                                          Scheduling spot screamed Atlanta (Bucks big one vs Tor on deck tomorrow night)

                                                          Talent differential screamed Milwaukee. In past seasons Bucks would have slipped up here - Not this season!

                                                              I wanted to comment before, but didn't have time to dabble today...What i wanted to say was, I have seen few teams that like to crush inferior competition as much as the Bucks.

As I mentioned I’ve been checking this thread out for a while and I’ve wondered if your “title play” was a larger play or all the same. Every time I’ve tailed I’ve bet all of the plays for the same amount which is generally my philosophy as well. I’ve been sports betting long enough (+10 years), mainly on football, to know that everybody totally misreads games sometimes. I like fact that you usually post 3 games (which is in my opinion a perfect amount when tailing someone else). Don’t worry about the haters in the thread sometimes you have bet on bad teams to get the cash. Any gambler who only bets winning teams, unless they do it very selectively, is probably a losing bettor anyway. I’ve never understood coming into a winning thread and bashing someone’s plays. 2 out 3 is more than good enough for me and is about the most anybody could hope for anyway. I need some action now that football is winding down so please keep feeding us the winners as they are very much appreciated. Thanks again and best of luck with future plays!
