All over this one for a dime. Before i saw the line i had thought the lakers would be almost 10 point favorites. The oddsmakers know whats up. The public will continue to bite on a great lakers team no matter what the situation is. -5 Lakers looks like an absolute lock to the average bettor. Almost 70% of bets are coming in on the lakeshow but the line is dropping. The lakers are an older team playing on a back to back against a young team with fresh legs that had a day off. This game will come down to either a straight up sactown win or a last second shot either way. The lakers will win another NBA championship this year but this is the regular season and very early at that.. Don't bite on LA, take them kings from sacramento +5

i am assuming you didn't really think the lakers would be 10 point favorites, i do like the play though. good luck!

SportsMushroom · 11-03-10, 01:42 PM

your assumption is wrong, yes the lakers are playing back to back but it is early in the season, noone is really tired, the players have only been in a few games and their feet are fresh, not to mention that they didnt really get tested by memphis last night

if the lakers want to, they should blow sacrament out

thebestthereis · 11-03-10, 01:48 PM

i was not talking about what will or could happen (lakers could win by 15 yes), i was talking about what line would be put out in this game. i would never be -10 no matter what.

Your wrong.. Look at the celtics.. Very first game of the season they beat the heat straight up. Their second game of the season was on a back to back against the lowly lebron-less cavs and the cavs beat them straight up. Guess what, the cavs ain't won a game since. It's never to early to talk about old or young teams on a back to back

It's not what i think, it's what i think the oddsmakers would think.. The lakers are light years ahead of the kings.. The oddsmakers put out a line to which the public is going to bite on.. If i was an average bettor i would put my house on lakers at only -5 and that is exactly what they want, but i'm not a fukkin idiot.. and i would hope most of u aren't either..

For what it`s worth, the Lakers dominated Memphis last night and their starters barely played. Kobe saw 26 easy minutes.

Yes, the lakers at HOME and NOT on a back to back.. sure fine

Beason5209 · 11-03-10, 02:32 PM

My point was, although a back-to-back, this is easy travel for the Lakers and their starters barely played the night before. This isn`t like the Celts playing an extremely emotional, tough game against the Heat followed by playing the Cavs the next night.

firedawg · 11-03-10, 02:35 PM

goodluck smoke. i like the play

BigDofBA · 11-03-10, 02:40 PM

This seems like a very trendy pick.

If the Lakers really wanted to, they could cover this spread. It's still early in the season. I wouldn't put too much on this game.

I could see it both ways.

itsthegoods · 11-03-10, 03:28 PM

i think it might have to do with the way the lakers travel to sacramento

oChRoNiCo · 11-03-10, 03:38 PM

gl with the play I disagree with your reasoning however

the game between miami and celtics was emotionally and physically exhausting for the celtics, and celtics had to travel 10 times the distance the lakers have to travel, not to mention the celtics are an ageing team that makes it even harder on them

winningdoc · 11-03-10, 04:29 PM

This is a trap game, but I am keeping it simple and betting Lakers straight up to win.

ger25pic25 · 11-03-10, 04:38 PM

i agree with the play but certainly not a lock!

STRAIGHT BET Nov 03 NBA [524] SACRAMENTO +5-110 (POD)

Grandmaster B · 11-03-10, 04:51 PM

as a lifelong Kings fan I have watched Kobe play some of the best games of his career in Arco Arena

there is no way on this planet the LAL will lose this game

knowing that info its just a question of how much they win by

that being said SAC is on the way up...but they arent ready to beat the LAL just yet

I alos Like the play! The lakers arent as young as some think......................Look at how old some of them are and how long they have been in the league, GL FBT

MrSink · 11-03-10, 05:23 PM

It s possible that kings will cover easilly or win the game but I will stay away from this game

Crayzee · 11-03-10, 05:26 PM

comes down to which way the game is fixxed and which team jack has his money on

Bostongambler · 11-03-10, 05:28 PM

Good thoughts there Smoke

iMxth3xbossx5000 · 11-03-10, 05:29 PM

I played it safe and bought Sacramento up to +8. LAL will win this game, I just trust that it will be by less then 9 digits.

Snowball · 11-03-10, 05:29 PM

no reason to touch this game until 1h is over.
no way would i take Kings blind on this.

Augustus · 11-03-10, 05:36 PM

It is early in the season, and this is the time you make money backing the Lakers.

King304 · 11-03-10, 05:37 PM

Lakers tired??? People need to watch games. Starters did not play many minutes in 2nd half.
The could be close but the play here is:
Lakers 1st half -3
Gl to you

Lakers -3 1st half
lakers -5 game

Lakers starters barely played last night. The only way Sac has a chance in this one is if Evans goes off and has a crazy game. The only problem with that scenario is that the Lakers have 3 above-average wing defenders in Kobe, Artest, and Barnes.

pavyracer · 11-03-10, 06:00 PM

Lakers win easily by double digits.

Smoke · 11-03-10, 06:09 PM

Hey guys, plain and simple.. We're gonna win this one tonight. If your in the hole and need to get out this is your chance, if your ahead and you want more, this is your chance. When i first started betting i probably would have put the farm on the lakers tonight. You live and you learn over the years. It's easy to say the lakers blow sac outta the building, it COULD happen. But don't be fooled, these books want you to lay your money on the lakers tonight. They are fukking begging you with a 5 point line. Don't bite, take sacramento and we will all celebrate afterwards, this is not the same kings team that you saw last year, trust me i've been watching, kings are 4 real..
