Ok in other words is laying 100 to win 195 worth it or take the points instead?

Really is that just cause of home court?

I like the Lakers and the points for +105. Spurs had to rest some heads up 4th quarter last game, they look tired. Ginobili has had some issues with his ankle. Lakers playing with confidence and momentum.

Does anyone think the lakers could come out flat or do you think all these games the spurs have played our wearing on them and there age?(4th game in 6 days) Lakers I think just had to get the cobb webbs brushed off after the first half game 1 and we saw what happen the last 6 quarters complete domination. I just dont think La is like all these other teams who dominate at Home In the 08 playoffs (Via Cavs, Hawks, Hornets, ect) I think they play just as well at home as they do on the road there team isnt black and white when it comes to Home vs Away games for la! Just want to get as much as I can before I make my play as I am def making one today. Plus its hard when La has made me tons of Money this Month as well.

I like LAL at +190, great value IMO.

beside spread coverage anyone out there think this will be a good game, Blow out, ect?

I don't see this being a blow out...can we really expect another terrible performance like that out of the Spurs? It seems to me that once this team goes on a good run they feed off the momentum more than any other team out there but when things aren't going their way they just chuck up random shots. Same thing happened in the NO series then all of a sudden they blow them out of the water. Playing at home you know they will not go down without a fight. I myself am staying away until halftime but may play the total.

I dont know what value Im getting in this, but this really feels like game 7 for the Cavs and Celtics for me. I knew +8 on the cavs was the pick(not bragging) but I felt with +310 (I think it was that) was just great odds, and Cavs were a team who could easily take down game 7. Of course I backed off the money line just layed the 8 and won. But win or lose sometimes a +150 or higher in basketball with value like the lakers is hard to ingnore? Now dont get me wrong I like money I like winning but its hard to sit there and have a game tied with 2 min to go knowing you got the points +5 or +200 instead of -250 or the points-5. I just cant see Lakers not being in the game with 2 min to go and thats all I ask for with a good value bet like this. well see this will def be a last min bet if/when made.

If your going to play the Lakers ML.....+214 on Matchbook. I think it will get pushed even higher. Seems to be relentless backing of home teams no matter what the chalk.

Spurs should win fairly easy

Tsoprano · 05-25-08, 10:42 AM

Champs wont lose at home with their backs against the walls, theyll come through to make the series 2 -1.

Everyone was taking the Hornets after 2 blowouts in the series, they bounced back and tied it.

daggerkobe · 05-25-08, 11:26 AM

I see it going 7 games so no, I wouldn't take the Lakers ML.

I'd probably wait till HT and hope the Spurs are down, take em to win at a much cheaper price than the ML.

mundane · 05-25-08, 12:58 PM

split whatever u would normally bet on the lakers. perhaps 70-30!
70 - lakers +5
30 - lakers ml +190

if u lose, u lose the same amount of unit/s. if u win, u get extra!

datz what i did for today's game. i think lakers will win in san antonio. if it's tonight then lucky me. if not, then there's the next one. :P
