One game stood out last night when we released the opening lines and it still does, and that's the Sacramento Kings (+9) at Denver. Denver is coming off a hard fought battle, had to travel back home where they play in rarified air, and face off against a Kings squad which, in my opinion, matches up well. Overall wagering on this inauguration day is brisk, so not much line movement but sometimes that's best. The road team is 8-0-1 in the past 9 between these two teams and the underdog is 7-1-1. Both trends heavily point to the Kings, who are starting to play a bit better after a horrendous start and terrible stretch. They're a long shot to win, but based on all the trends and facts, I think a pretty good shot to cover.
I also think that the game between SA and IND goes over the 208 spread. The Spurs seem to put up serious points at home against bad defenses and Indiana is capable of at least tallying 95. That would mean in order to cover the Spurs would have to drop in 103, a number i think if they have any shot of winning the game, they'll easily top. The OVER is 11-1 in the past 12 matchups and 5-1 in the past 6 played in San Antonio. Again, the trends are encouraging and the play seems sound.
That's it for right now, not sure about the college slate, loads of teams that might be ripe for letdowns while I do see some obvious blowouts on the way.
As always, good luck to all.....

i think texas tech is dropping too many points, but Colorado is really not good, even worse on the road. there have been relatively few wagers on Colorado so we (Vegas) are not expecting to have much late action come in on the Bufs, meaning we'll be on that side. the RED RAIDERS have covered 4 of the last 6 between these two teams but I'd be worried only about a late cover considering TTech shoots FT's at less than 70% as a team.
but personally i have no strong leans either way, just stating the facts. hope it helps.

lol...i caught that and sorry about the math. i meant that the Spurs could get to 113 as the Indiana D is pretty terrible. but if you like the UNDER, go for it. remember i don't play the games, only provide numbers and info. in the end, if you win I'm happy :)

You have to remember LV doesn't play the games just gives info on them. Sometimes the info is good & sometimes way off. Take it for what it's worth. What he gets out of this well I don't know for sure. Most would say put your money where your mouth is. BOL to all

I have been reading his posts and this guy works for Vegas and you people think that he is giving a correct info. Are you kidding me? He is a loser. He comes in here and act like Mr. know it all. And you people believe him.

It has been a long wait for you bashers to finally find a small window where LV has a couple of bad days and you can say your peace. Dont play the games then. Myself, Vols, Swandawg, and Chris are all way above the .500 mark over the last 20 days with LV and you all are probably struggling to get there. I have had 3 nice payouts since Jan 1.
Keep insight coming LV.

Count me in there too....dude has definitely made me money over the past couple of weeks....and I am definitely glad to see him posting daily these days.....he had a torrid run of 6-7 winning days in a row and much of his insight was bang on.....so a couple of days of losses was to be expected.....
As for whether he actually works in a book or not, I could care less.....if he's some kid sitting in his parents' basement getting off on pretending to be a Vegas insider (which I doubt), then I hope he's thoroughly enjoying himself so that he keeps on posting....the things he has to say about certain games, and considering that overall he's been right much more often then wrong, does suggest that he is legit, but if he's actually jeopardizing his job then I also have to wonder why he would do it, although I can see the fun of helping out strangers with insider information, just for the sake of generating some good karma.....ultimately of course, you never can tell over an internet forum, but either way, who gives a fuck? As long as the picks win more than lose, that's all I care about....
Vegas, if you're the real deal, then keep it going man, because the good karma is flowing your way.....and if you're a kid in your parents' basement, then I just hope your folks keep your internet connection turned on!!!
