Whoever plays Cleveland -4.5 is gonna lose their money

[Iwinyourmoney]

Rush........better rush to the bank to cover that loss

[Iwinyourmoney]

I love being a square

[poker_dummy101]

Only people that beat the closing number win long term.. those people are the ones that had wizards + (more points than the closing line)

[tltaylor89]

WTF was this guy thinking????

[williams22]

Why do people try to read into lines so often? Cap the game! Analyze the matchups and the injuries instead and you'll do much better overall.

99% of the posters here cannot cap major leagues like the NBA.
Weak lines are very rare, just like in the NFL.

So all you can do is react to line movements, and grab value when you see it.
And that is why all of these threads are horseshit, without posting the exact line you get.
Good for nothing except entertainment ^^

7pt game and cavs ppl talkin shit mid of 2nd quarter lmfao this will be beyond hilarious if they dont cover

[Cecil Collins]

Omg! Cavs were up 17, now a 5 pt game and Wash shooting free throws!

[Moonpie0954]

Everybody has there on method on winning I guess. The lines are not as important as the matchup imho. My point is taking the dog looks good cause you have more outs, but also theres a reason there the dog.

[Moonpie0954]

Cavs hold on

[wizardt]

go wizards

[suicidekings]

I capped this game as Cavs -4 being a fair line. In fact most of the lines came out pretty close today to what I expected. Despite that, there was a lot of movement in several lines that didn't really make sense that got people excited, like the movement on the Cavs/Wiz game. The thing is, not every line will be right where it should be because it has as much to do with market perception as the actual matchup, and following that, not every line move means the same thing.

[Moonpie0954]

I thought the lines were pretty good myself. I got a 5team parlay and all teams are covering at the half.

[poker_dummy101]

it is funny though, cavs were up 17 and no wizards people were in here (except me).. i suspect if wizards come back we will hear from all them

[tltaylor89]

Very true Poker Dummy

[zerodegre]

who do you like 2nd half?? pickem now

[Moonpie0954]

Before the game Cavs-4 was the minority. But ur right they will be back screaming, but i dont see it happening.

[Moonpie0954]

Cavs

[suicidekings]

I took the Cavs 2H +0.5.

[Jshap1515]

If you would have watched the game the other nite with Portland and Atlanta you would have known I was not wrong. True, I didn't cash, but Portland led that game wire to wire almost and I was fukked by a last minute 3 to force over time.

By this perspective, it looks like you two (Poker Dummy and Lyon) made a bad call. The Cavs were up 17 so either way - even if the Cavs don't cover or even lose - you guys "got lucky" and made a bad bet.

Poker Dummy and Lyons, especially Lyons, can you two stop making it look like you are the betting gods? If you guys were so damn good at betting, you prolly wouldnt be here. You'd be off making millions via Vegas and not risking the line change on your "so called smart pick".

I say especially Lyons because you are being more of a teenage prick than the kid you claim is going to college. By being ignorant and thinking you are always right, you are not being "the wise man" you are pretending like you are.

So if Cavs win, you were on the right side. If Wiz cover, we got lucky? Oh ok I see how that works

I am a betting god? When was this? All I said people that got the Wizards + (more points than the closing line got the best play in this game. If you do not think that is true, I highly recommend you not gamble.

AND FYI, I only have this game very small, I didn't say Wiz for sure win.

[Jshap1515]

Thats how Lyons thought of the Hawks game he lost on. Its not my opinion exactly, but its how I interpreted his arrogant perspective. Poker dummy, I prolly shouldnt have put your name on that post because it was mostly Lyons. Sorry

[Moonpie0954]

Poker you cant just look at the lines when you bet and not the matchup

[poker_dummy101]

Poker you cant just look at the lines when you bet and not the matchup

You should spend some time in the think tank so you can decide how your play gets value and noone is looking at the lines.. you have to look at opening lines, get the best number and watch the line move with you.

EDIT: And I make no mistake about it.. I am a LOSER at gambling

[Moonpie0954]

I gotcha but wat i mean is look at matchups and dont get caught up and overthinking when u see the lines.
Im no pro at gambling myself but i do almost always come out to the good at the end of the day.

[poker_dummy101]

now no cavs fans will come back here

[Moonpie0954]

I lost but Good Call i give credit when credit is do so

[Cecil Collins]

I was on the Cavs also, but what I was worried about happened, they got tired

[daggerkobe]

Looks like Rush got the last laugh.

[Hotdiggity11]

This line has trap written all over it. Washington is a better team then their records indicate. I wouldn't be surprised if Washington wins straight up, but take the points as I see it going down to who has the ball last. Whatever you do, do NOT play Cavaliers. Chalk me up Wizards for a unit.

[Shahbucks]

Good call hommie

[Rush]

Thanks guys. Congrats Wizards Backers.

[HoulihansTX]

Congrats to all Wizards Backers.

[ZetaPsi808]

good fukking call RUSH
