Bucks on the road are not that impressive, the Church boys on Sunday turn into the Miami Heat, James Johnson will play like LeBron and DeRozen will play like Wade!

I guess you can go by revenge angle, or bucks being terrible on the road, or that it's a let down game for the bucks who just beat linsanity and melo, but mostly i just like the church boys on sunday, they seem to get the job done more than half of the time.

What is your perception of value...that word is thrown around alot here and sometimes i'm confused with it. Do you look for a certain % against your wager? If so, what would that % be, especially taking a dog? Say the Raptors today +2 and ML +105...is the +105 "value" to you? I see that I would be paying $10 for 2 points w/ a $100 wager. Could win $105 for that $100 play on the ML, but could get 2 pts, increase my opportunity of a winning play and it would only cost me $10 more if it loses....imo that's value. Do you agree or am I confused? Cause I think I just confused myself. Wake and Bake

The points are the value, ML is just being greedy, but I honestly have a feel the Raptors win by 10+ in this game, while it's not guranteed, the book was giving me only +1.5 so I just took the +105 instead of the -110, I could be kicking myself if the Raps lose by 1 point, which is not uncommon in the NBA or sports betting in general, the only real time I see ML value is in a big 6point dog or higher, but then you should also grab the points for more, example, if you bet $110 on +6, go ahead and throw $25 on the ML, if you bet bigger, just adjust the math, that's the only way I see value on the ML, when it can bump your bankroll value without risking it, so taking the points and ML is the smart move, but on this short dog, I'm just gambling that that 1.5 point window wont be a factor, I do suggest taking the Raps +1.5 or +2, I'm just being greedy!
