Re: NBA for opening week

Good Luck

thanks, I hate the beginning of the year in the NBA, need all the luck I can get. hard to tell if poor performances are just poor performances or abominable teams this early. I'm hearing two different things on Memphis/Orlando, probably going to pass on that game.

denver -2 for 1.1%
I got a little on -1.5, but I don't think it's a good idea to wait much longer.
I'm hearing that the Cl***** are a fade-away team right now, I won't mention their name b/c I've lost more for and against that team than any other, Bengals are a distant 2nd. I'm less than 40% winners lifetime on the el lay cripples.

NY/PHI over 213.5 for .8%
same at 214
was waiting for it to come down, a bit dicey with totals this high, but generally totals this high are for a good reason, keep that in mind for the rest of the regular season between 2 obvious 'over' teams

Re: NBA for opening week

depressed after Texas loss. from our vantage point it looked like Gideon had that late INT...everyone celebrating....obviously it was dropped. Congrats to Tech. last thing I want to do is look at NCAA football right now.

Charlotte +6 for .6%
not very many 6's left, same at +5, .5% at +4

Re: NBA for opening week

Sac +12 for .9%
ML +700 for .3%
same at 11.5, the way I see it this has a lot of value this early in the year, we will probably look back and wonder how 76er was ever a 10+ favorite over anyone.
Last game Sac was blown out by ORL, but if you look at that boxscore it was a lot closer than the final score, difference was offensive rebounding, plus ORL shot 55% in that game (SAC 52%). PHI lost their last game after shooting 59% vs NY. It's fairly widely known that fading a team in their next game after they shoot 55% or better is +EV. I'm actually discounting this b/c PHI only shot 41% vs ATL (things tend to regress toward a median) but they shot terribly 34.5% in their opener. Sac may be THAT bad, but I see a lot of value in the ML, less than 4-1 for sure.

I'll keep waiting but I don't think this will go lower.

Detroit/ Char over 180 for 1.1%
about the same at 181, not much more at 179.

Re: NBA for opening week

what you gotta say about this junkman being that your on the sixers?

I can understand anyone being on Philly the way Sacramento has looked lately. I believe he uses a computer, and most math models would list the 6ers to cover 13. The way I see it I'm taking a shot that Sacramento makes adjustments and the 6ers haven't exactly been world beaters in 2 of their losses. Philadelphia has also been one of those teams for several years that you take as an underdog but don't want to lay points with. The Kings may be a team to fade all year, but this early I like to take shots on somewhat soft numbers especially on ML's I see being fairly robust. A 2 loss team laying 12 pts? Sure they can lose by 30, but I think at least once out of 5 they win SU with it being so early in the year.

Re: NBA for opening week

back from 1st break since the middle of last summer. NBA has been bad so far, but this year is different than the last 3-4. Might take awhile to get on top of things, but I am well aware that one of the strongest options on the opposite side of the counter is the ability to pass. Might have to turn from sniper (.8% on large volume)to big game hunter (1.5%+ on less total plays) for a bit, it's more fun but usually less profitable. In NCAA football that is what I'm doing for sure.

PHX -11.5 for .8%
lot of points, but Memphis is on 4th in 6 on road, pretty similar to PHX and with Houston up for them had to discount. Team that wins in the NBA covers over 80% of the time...

NJ +9 for .9%
ML +395 for .3%
sure NJ is bad, but Heat are not a legit DD favorite, winnable game for Nets.

Re: NBA for opening week

Lakers -5.5 for 1.5%
I don't take road favorites very often, especially with the public all over them, but no other way to go. I just don't see how the Mavs can defend LA with their deep bench.

I do not understand the *** being favored by 6 much less the current line.
and I think I've made it pretty clear how me and the *** get along....

Utah -3.5 for 1.1%

Re: NBA for opening week

Utah -4 for .2%
discounted a tad for 3rd in 4 but Wash is real real bad, and this may be one of maybe 5 or 6 road favorites I play all year.

Re: NBA for opening week

there are several more that I 'don't understand.'
and I'm working on furthering my education today so that I may understand where the hell they get some of these numbers. After 10 games or so it usually starts rolling along. 3rd in 4 is a little more of an edge after the first month. Players aren't getting too tired yet this early in the year.

NO/LA over 194.5/195 for .8%
discounted b/c I'm betting the side as well, and may buy back if it moves enough.
and the public will be all over this 'over' and backing the Lakers as well
the public will be all over ATL, not sure how big of a need it will be b/c fairly sure most sharp action will be on Boston. I'm probably backing ATL.
