Re: denver +280 series v the lakers, i'm on it like flies on rice
who the hell would be stupid enough to put 1/2 their acct on a series where they dont have hm crt advantage and an injury to their team's pt guard or small forward could spell their doom?
the value was definitely with the nuggets at +280 and +305 so i took it as i believe they are better than a coinflip to win the series if healthy, and if no bullshit happens. 2 yrs ago i had a big series wager on the suns over the spurs and the nash nose injury in gm 1 or 2 followed up by the suspension of stoudemire and diaw fukked up my wager
better than 50/50 in my mind that denver will win, but to put 1/2 an acct, esp with the acct sizes i carrry, on one series is fukkin stupid, and like i said earlier, if it goes 6 and is tied 3-3, i will have no problems hedging my wager if i feel the lakers are healthy and theyre gona win gm 7, if anything, it'll be satisfying to watch winky and tripp backpedal before gm 7 after saying that the series will end in 5 and tripp saying it will be rather easy

If it's better than a coin flip and you're getting +305, you should have over 10 units on the game. That's about as much of a value as you'll ever find.
I see you're already making excuses though. GL, the value is with the team that wins.

Denver outplayed the Lakers in every aspect of the game, outside of the FT line, and they still lost. Remember when you said Dahntay Jones could guard Kobe? Now that was funny....
I know, isn't that tight? Especially when I have a future bet on Detroit to win it all. Thanks for letting me know that I'm up in my wager. It's a win-win situation for me. If the Hawks come back and win, I'm happy, but if they don't I win some money... Nice position I'm in.

There you go buddy....
Sorry guys. Been a hectic week. Getting ready to move into a new place a block from Wrigley and it's been stressful.
A couple of bets I like. All are for 1 Unit.
Lakers: I'm glad the line came back.. I'm taking the Lakers to win the title at +105. (Bookmaker). The reason I'm doing this is because there's no better time to bet this team, than after their last series. They got arrogant, cocky and in over their heads in the last series. They thought they could coast by Houston, and they didn't. Getting them at + money, when they've been the best team in basketball all year (and the only team to truly win AT Cleveland), is a very valuable bet.
NHL:
Red Wings +100: I'm a Hawk fan but they aren't ready to beat this team yet, IMO. The Eastern Conference has been a much better conference and Pitt has gotten worse since they played the Wings last year in the Finals, while the Wings have gotten better. Getting them at even money with 4 teams remaining, is the best value bet in any sport.
For tonight:
Carolina +175: I'm not going to pretend like they're the better team in this series, but I will tell you that the best goalie left in the playoffs is Cam Ward, BY FAR, and he knows the importance of game 1. If Ward plays like he's been playing, they can steal this game, especially at this number, in Pitt. Pitt has flaws, and they were very prevalent in the regular season. They are not world beaters, and Carolina is just as hot as them, and has had a tougher road than them to get here.
You know nothing....

Yeah, I saw that, but I did play them after their last round with the Rockets. I didn't get them at the start of the playoff's. The highest number I saw available after the Houston Series was +140, and that moved rather quickly to +120. I could have sworn I checked 5dimes, since it's one of the books I'm funded at, but I could be wrong.

Shaven, was +180 available at 6 O'Clock before game 1? Just wondering... If it was, I fucked up big time, but I couldn't find a number that was even close to that when I bet it.
I have been working a lot the last week and I haven't had time to shop. All I could do was line shop at the time I made the wager.
PS. Grid, it's not a bad line when it wins. If the Nuggets lose, you got a bad line because you lost, and I got a good line if they win it all. I could have profited a little more possibly, but not much.

Re: denver +280 series v the lakers, i'm on it like flies on rice
dude, the lakers to win it all line was much better before gm 7 of the rockets series, and even better before gm 5, it was a given that they were not going to lose to the rockets with a gm 7 at hm, so if you felt they were gona win it all you should have locked it in when they were crapping the bed vs the rockets on the road but we all knew they would eventually win that series
and as far as my denver to win series bet, if it goes 7 which is a strong possibility, then i can always hedge out as the lakers will not be a huge moneyline favorite, at least it wont be too huge to be un hedgable

The Nuggets shot 48% from the field, and 42% from three. That's unlikely to happen again in this series. They didn't play a perfect game, but they played a very good one and the Lakers didn't play well. Kobe showed up, but everyone else on the Lakers forgot there was a game. Kobe will play like this all series. Dahntay Jones can not guard him.
Arguing with Nuggets fans is making me sick. I would prefer a Nuggets upset, as I love JR Smith and Melo, but I have a wager on the better team.
Shaven, I fucked up if that's the case. I just put another unit on the Lakers +180 at Matchbook. Thank you for pointing this out to me Shaven... I appreciate it.

They played terrific on the defensive end, Carmelo had a huge game, and they shot out of their ass from the field and three point line. They struggled from the FT line, and allowing offensive rebounds, but you're basically telling me that Denver has to play a PERFECT game to beat the Lakers. Denver played a much better game than the Lakers last night, and they still lost. If Denver has to play perfectly, and the Lakers have to play awful, for Denver to win then maybe Denver doesn't have as good of a chance as you thought?

Melo played great, and they shot well as a team. They played very good team defense too. Everything you said can be easily countered. No ONE on the Lakers showed up besides Kobe. No one.
I watched the game, but you're asking everyone to play perfect. You're nitpicking, really. You're ignoring how well they shot from the Field, and from three. You're also ignoring how well they played defensively. The Lakers shot poorly from the field. Second chance points saved them, but the Lakers are bigger than the Nuggets and they're the best rebounding team in the NBA, so that's not a surprise.

4-14 or 8-19? I could have sworn they shot 8-19 from three, but those are just stats... They could be wrong. I mean you watched the game, so maybe your eyes counted differently. I guess I'll trust your numbers.
Do you see what you're doing? You're taking away the terrific performances and saying that Denver was bad besides those. The Lakers were HORRIBLE with out Kobe. HORRIBLE. The Nuggets had more players in double figures, the Nuggets played better defense, the Nuggets shot better from the field, the Nuggets outplayed the Lakers and still lost. The Lakers are going to pound the offensive glass all series. They were the best offensive rebounding team in the league this year, so why would it be different in this series. The Nuggets held down everyone on the Lakers, besides Kobe. Get used to that happening because the Nuggets have NO ONE to guard Kobe.
I wish you the best of luck, but you're blinding yourself in this series. The Nuggets aren't going to play a perfect game in LA, and that was their best chance of taking one last night. They didn't get it done.

Besides Melo the Nuggets shot 4-14 from 3 point land. Besides Melo and Nene they shot 35% from the field.
The Nuggets cant guard Kobe. The Lakers cant guard Melo. Its what the rest of the team does that will decide who wins this series but to say the Nuggets played a great game is just not true.
The Lakers had 11 different players contribute scoring thats unheard of.
