Locked in:

Arizona St. -5.5 / Over 158.5
Nevada +2.5....wrong team favored here imo
Oregon -15...pure fade on Colo St...this line seems like its begging sheep to take the points blindly...but when those sheep wake up tomorrow to watch their cartons and eat their captain crunch, they will wonder how the pathetic oregon ducks won by 20+...just a scenaio...hope it plays out this way!

NBA:

Locked in:

Hornets -9.5....pure fade on Bulls here...line seems high for the home team, thus sheep think lets take the Bulls here...and then they lose by 15+...when they zig, i like to zag.

Other plays already locked in earlier with Raps/Cavs ML parlay, and Spurs -2.

Best of luck tonight gents...Shabbat Shalom and have a wonderful evening

These are my LIVE plays for NBA Friday. I am not betting FG on these lines except the last play. Will be waiting for better spreads in-game.

CHI +9

Last 16, home favorites are 14-2. Jordan's old team versus his new team... CHI has never been a dog like this before at CHA. Will be watching for a big number, in the 1st half, in the high teens for CHI.

IND +3.5

CLE is on a 13-game winning streak, and does well ATS on the road, and the spread is small. CLE is a very square play. Yet, I still am going to see if IND can end it. Looking for 9+ on IND.

DEN +2

I think the only reason this is my pick is if they lose this game, DEN is looking at an 0-6 road trip. They should get 1, I think, and ORL would be it.

MIL ML - Should be a win and I hate playing with 5+ point spreads. If it gets anywhere near 2, I'm taking it.

SAC +9 (and small ML) - Going to give this a try. I may have an angle here.

Warriors:
1st Q -1.5
1st Half -2.5
Full Game -5.5

I think tonight goes according to their Previous road game in Charlotte...no reason to believe Detroits slump turns around tonight against the Harlem Globetrotters....i smell blowout tonight....plus the first game back following an unsuccesful road trip typically lends itself to a first home game dud...ive seen it happen countless times.

3rd Q Warriors like sweet chin music by Sean Michaels....hits their opponents square in the jaw almost every time...how dare you people make us play a serious game for 4 full quarters

DEN AND GSW did their 3Q magic. I had so many plays outstanding, just didn't want to add any more.

But, if the play is there, you have to take it. Lesson learned.

From 71-70 to 82-70...how do you like them free throw apples? Dirk always knew a thing or two about making his shots from the charity stripe...pretty impressive gut check win for ASU when it appeared St.Johns had all the momentum....key point in the game is 76-70 with St.Js missing the front end of a one and one...they make that basket we are likely all eating bologna sandwiches this weekend.

My over died in the 2nd half, but im more than happy your 10u wager hit buddy...

Gotta love all the eyeball tests these games offer us and knowing how to assess the ingame wagering opportunities...at one point i believe raps were +8.5 early in the 2nd quarter before they finally stabilized the ship.

Seriously BigD...no kidding...great day indeed, even though some jackarse hijacked our thread this afternoon with alot of bizarre random European hoops winners and moronic pussifiied middles 

Im starting to question the necessity to bet nba games pretipoff altogether...and just wait for +EV ingame lines to hooefully develop within the 1st half....truly been on fire these past few weeks with our ingame wagering.

Dirk...do you recall what the live spread was for St.Js at the half?
That would have been around +11.5 or +12.5????? Wow what a sick sweat either way had you taken another 10u looking for the juicy middle.

Glad you didnt, as i wouldnt wish that type of unnecessary stress upon you

Mental note:

These arent your grandmama's Craptors anymore...theyve put on their bigboy pants this season and are quietly flying under the radar of practically everyone...let the media yada yada yada all year long about the cavs and celtics...thats only going to fuel this team even more come playoffs...this team is young, fast, explosive, deep bench, can play amazing D whenever its required, are great rebounding at both ends of the glass, can hit the 3s or dribble drive and get to the hoop...this is really a complete team, and will be a very hard out for boston or cleveland come springtime.

Over 48.5 wins this sesson looking pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good

I really should be thanking you for convincing me to go small on that TOR/MEM game. Was thinking about putting half my bankroll on that game (way more than 4 units). Would have been a disaster.

The one game I felt most confident about is the one that loss. 

Learning a lot about money management, so cheers to packersbackers for some sound advice. an_cheers
