What a great thread. Figured I'd hop in here, just been waiting for the right $$$$play, and today I have it.

Let's go out west to Denver, for the Grizzlies Nuggets matchup. Denver is 11-17 at home, but that number is a little tricky, as they have been much better as of late, even handing GS one of their 5 losses. Memphis is coming off a road loss to lowly Phoenix, but I believe that had more to do with playing back to back days then anything else. The reason I make this my money play is two reasons. 1) Gallinari suffered an ankle injury and is going to miss a few weeks. Denver is going to miss his 19.5 a game. 2) Memphis even without Gasol is still a team that wears you down defensively, it's a bad matchup for the Denver who play no defense and rely on their scoring to win games. Without Gallinari, and team that plays D like Memphis, it's just a bad matchup for Denver. Memphis has won the last 5 meetings, and I expect them to make it 6 tonight. Getting this line cheap based on: gasol being out, Denver being good at home the last month and half. Gallinari being out, expected this to be -4 to -6, but it's not. Hop on it boys

Give me Memphis Grizzlies ML-140 for my $$$$ play, my first one on this thread.

Hi BigCat.  Welcome to the thread!

For $$$$'s, though, you need to post the $$$$ with the spread.  Only moneylines for soccer and hockey.  For basketball, you need to use the spread.  Please re-post your $$$$ post with the spread instead of the M/L if you want it tracked.

Thanks!

@thebigcat ...My book has Memphis ML at -125 and the line at -1.5 so you may want to find a better line if its a large play

$$$$ pick: Cagliari ML (Italian second divison in soccer) -134

It's first place vs fifth place in this match but the points between the two is pretty substantial.
They are 18 points ahead of fifth place Novara and are at home - this being the most important factor.
They're home record this season is insane. They have played 13 games at home, won 12 and only have drawn once.
Novara on the other hand, their last 4 away games have been a draw and 3 losses.
The home win seems to be a clear banker for me and tail me if you want, 
Thanks and good luck

Holmey won't track this since you are above the (-129) threshold.  But 5 dimes has the line currently at -120, so you may want to amend your write-up to the current line to have it tracked.

Anyone very familiar with the Mizzou Valley Conference. I have my eye on this Illinois State game tonight and this -4.5 line looks short. I know many people had a $$$ on this one last time they played and it was a wire to wire winner.

Any insight to this game would be awesome!

@Kuchar 

I watch as much MVC as possible and there are no MVC games until Thursday which are the "play in" games.

Dutch Eerste Divisie (2nd Division) - Jong Ajax vs FC Dordrecht

I'm not loving Monday's hoops slate so time to hop to my favorite soccer league for overs - the Dutch 2nd division.

Jong Ajax hosts FC Dordrecht in Amsterdam.  Dutch football tends to be wide open. Whether it's the strength of the attackers or the lack of defense - either way it leads to a lot of goals.  Many of these players are in their late teens or early 20's and are looking to impress to make a move to the senior club (in Ajax's case) or a transfer to a larger club.

Jong Ajax have had at least 3 goals scored in their last 7 games...and 4 of them went for 4 of more.  

For Dordrecht, 10 of their last 12 have involved 3 goals or more, and 6 of the last 12 saw 4 goals or more scored.

Rangelo Janga has been on fire for Dordrecht netting 14 goals in 24 appearances, while Sam Hendriks has scored a dozen for Ajax.  

While this line is highly juiced even at 3 goals I'm making this my first play of the week.

$$$$ pick: Jong Ajax vs FC Dordrecht over 3 (-123)


Freerolling after 36 minutes.

Let's finish this before HT!!

Yeah, 4-0 after 42 minutes. Not much drama but we'll take the easy win. It's usually not that simple but Jong Ajax opened up a can on Dordrecht and it went south quick.

It was RF Dawg's winner here, but I was certainly on it either way.

They don't get much easier than that.
