Jazz with 100 points on the dot.   Really?   Where’s the garbage bucket.

Spurs 3rd Q looks like gold right now...this game following the classic Euro hoops script with the home fav tanking the 1st Q, playing relatively even in the 2nd Q...typically these screenplays mean 3rd Q will be a 6+pt home edge, with the 4th Q where they pull away to win the game, hover around the original spread, but only cockktease bettors by failing to cover the full game by a bucket....seen this all too many times, thus jumped onboard...lets hope it works tonight.

Tailing you packers on the spurs - played them at -6 2h which is the same as +4 on the game. Lets get it 

Also on UNLV coming up here shortly large for -8. Seen a couple of solid college cappers on them so decided to hop on board.

Love the fact that this thread is in the PBox btw lmao, less attention and trolls. Much better in here!

Spurs have to get rid of Rudy Gaay...hes not a Spur type winning player...he belongs on bad teams as a stat stuffer...when the game gets tight and every possession and touch matters, Rudy will always let you down.....im sure Pop knows this but until they get fully healthy, Spurs have no choice but to play him.

I had a 5 point cushion with about 20 seconds to go in that Houston game and they somehow score 8 more in that time.

I feel like I just got it with no lube.  oh well, confidence broken.  On to the next.  Tread lightly.

That reminds me of an International Chinese Bball game where I had a 4 point cushion with 28 seconds left. It was a DD lead and there was not much scoring in the previous 2 minutes. So, you figure the team with the lead would just run out the clock, like they had been doing. Nope. The team up 10+ hits a 3 and with seconds remaining in the game, somehow gets the ball back. The other team, with 8 seconds left in the game, gets called for a foul and 2 more free throws are made... pushing the game OVER by half a point! No more scoring after that. It was the most ridiculous ending I have seen this season on a game where I had action.

Iona Gaels +10

pure fade of St. Johns.  Y'all know my thoughts on them already.  no need to explain further.  Tread lightly, I am known to go on epic cold runs.

Those sneaky NYK person. Didn't know NYK honored Carmelo pre-game. Carmelo says he didn't know. Now, if an NBA player is in the dark, how could I have known? Should have checked ESPN just before game time. Never bet on the team of a player being honored pre-game. Never ends well for the team of that player.

There are no locks or guarantees in sports. That game could have been a bankroll killer if I didn't have more discipline.

UNDER 47

GB @ CAR is a tough game to call. It all depends on Aaron Rodgers. Figuring that out is too nerve-wracking. So, I will just take a low scoring game to either protect him or make it seem like GB is a better team than they actually are. Cam Newton can throw a game with the best of them.

SAC +12

TOR TOR TOR, why do I always lose these games? Why can't I stay away? Whether baseball, or Bball, I just can't figure out that city's pro teams. 1 for INFINITY. So fade away. This is a revenge spot for SAC. TOR won on the road at SAC last Sunday. Plus, my angles, for the umpteenth time, points to a TOR loss. Like PHO last night, when I don't bet the ML, that's when it hits.

ORL +12.5

Another game where my angle says DET loses here. But, take the points for ease of mind.

WAS -1

Play WAS all day, all the way.

IND -3

Great spot for IND to stop their losing streak. Not a bad team. Just hit soft spots from time to time. BKN on the other hand feeds off the bottom and IND is not a bottom-feeder.

love this play. i'm gonna hop on vandy i think, too. public loves arizona and they should. sun devils will win, but this spread is too large. these guys have a very tough schedule and for the most part have kept it close. gonna wait to see if i can get 13 outta this one
No team is as good as it looks when winning nor are they as bad as they look when losing

Thanks ODB, good luck betting against Hurleys squad.  However, I sort of agree they should come down to earth a bit soon. I just don't know when that will be.  It could be today against a program in Vandy that typically spits out good teams year in and year out.  12 points does seem a bit high here.   Early game too out in AZ.


@Parlay, for some reason I like the Kings in this spot too but I've tried to fade Toronto on Sundays a few times and they always end up biting me.   GL
