please let me know if I made a mistake in your record

Great stuff Wagers. Legend for running this and congrats to all those who are hitting at high rate. Awesome stuff and I hope people are using this to tail some people... This needs to be done under all forums...

Portland-2.5

1-2

where is my record

Por -2.5 GL!

76ers -3

PORTLAND -2.5

Record 4-3

Cleveland was a risky move that didn't pay off ... I lost count on how many open 3s that JR missed lol it should have been a blowout and they were even up 15 in the 4th.  If it was that easy this wouldn't be fun tho haha

Gonna make an early play tho...Magic/Bucks over 195.5

3 - 5

0-2
76ers -3

Blazers -2.5

Wagers, you are legend, and kudos to your supporting cast in getting us this far. I've had a few successful tails already.

Awkward question: why does the WL sequence in the standings go right --> left? Are you dislexic? Is that tipper's convention? Am I retarded? Did I just offend someone? These are things I wonder about. Echo. Echo.

TOTAL: 2-4

Last Week: 2-3 (WLWLL)

This Week: 0-1 (L)

January 25: Kings -6.5

 

Today's Play: Blazers -4.5

Tough to imagine Sactown coming out firing on the road against this Blazer squad after that emotional 2OT game last night. Cousins just dropped his career high and has been on a tear but I don't think they have all the gas in the tank for this one tonight 

Thanks for record keeping this

PHI would want to win this one. PHO is missing a lot  of starters later. ??? for LEUR and ??? Morris.. 

ORL +5.5 is my pick for tonight. Goodluck to us all!!

NBA Contest: 7-0-0 ATS

18th January: Mavericks + 1.5
19th January: Bucks + 5.5
20th January: Sixers + 7
21st January: Kings - 2
22nd January: Clippers - 1
23rd January: Nuggets + 4.5
25th January: Warriors - 5
26th January:

I don't know if I will have time to post in next 7-8 hours so i have to take this line now.

I have no doubt that Mavericks will bounce back tonight against LA. Lakers play no defense and Dallas offense is too much to handle for such lazy effort team. Also Mavs are on two games losing streak and tomorrow they are at road against best home court Warriors. If you think they will safe energy for this game you are absolutely wrong. Carlisle need wins to remain good position in the playoff battle so it’s all about winning games. And which game is more winnable for Mavs ? Against top 2 worst team in the league or against team which is 60-2 at home in last two regular seasons and blowout you every time when you step on the court ? On the other side we have Lakers which play awful last six games… really awful even for their standards. They are outscored by 18.7 ppg in these six blowouts… Can’t see how the thing will change against deep offensive team that owns them with 9 wins (many of them blowouts) in a row. Here are some numbers that I like here:

Since 2013 Mavs are 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS with avg line of – 5.6* as a road favorites when they play next game on 0 rest (tomorrow they play against Warriors at Oracle). They outscored their opponents in these games by almost 10 ppg.** One of the games were last year against Lakers 120-106 when Mavs were only 5.5 favs. It seems Dallas play hard as a road favorite in first game of a back2back and these numbers are proof of my words.

Since last season Lakers have lost 44 games at home. They are 11-32-1 (25.6%) ATS in these games with avg line of 5.8*. Their opponents outscored them with almost 12 ppg**. Mavs won 3 out of 3 at Staples in this period with 10.4** ppg.

* Both avg line I posted and results from my trends are the reason why the line is set to – 7.5. Nobody wants to give us free – 5.5 to - 6 play.

** These ppg numbers show me that I could  play Mavs in this situation even on juicy bad – 9 line. So I think 7.5 is not big piece to lay.  Enough said. Mavs win by double digits.

Dallas Mavericks - 7.5

BOL

Like this pick much

76ers -3 over suns
