    San Antonio - 4 Over Denver!

    Denver on b2b from away game, and now 1-5 in their last 6 games!  And without McGee, must give edge to Spurs!

    San Antonio - 4 (buying down) Over Denver!  1 Unit!

    And smart people DO NOT BET 2-1 MONEY LINES!  Only a fool and his money lays $220 to win $100!  That's why!  Make sense to you genius?    

    San Antonia can still LOSE the game!  If they lose, I'm out $130... NOT $220!  Plus, buying down to a key number of 4, makes sense!  If they win by 4, and I lay -5, it's a LOSS!  If they win by 4, it's a PUSH.  I lose nothing.  But now, if they win by five, I WIN!

    You lose two MLs at $220, you're down $440 trying to win $100 bucks!  Are you kidding me?      Not for me. 

    But GL with the way YOU bet!  That's YOUR business!  And the way I bet is MY business, not yours!

    P.S. For the Public...

    A ML bet (Money Line), in basketball or football is a "straight up" bet!  WITHOUT LAYING ANY POINTS!  To take San Antonio ML tonight cost $220!  A straight up bet...without laying the -5 points.

    What Blackballer is doing above is unknown!  Because if you're going ML, you are not laying ANY points. A straight up "win or lose" bet---that will cost you $220 to win $100...in this case.

    That's why anyone who knows anything about sports betting does not give away $220 to win $100 bucks!  At the most, they'll take a ML at -130, -140 or -150, at the most, not -$220!

    if -5 looks good and -4 even better...why is no points bet look bad?  if you are so sure that your team will win and cover why don't you take a no point bet (even at 4 to 1 odds)?  just a thought...

    Because we still can't be "sure" that they'll win.  In a case where a ML is -220 to win $100 with "no points" it's just not worth laying $220 to win $100...at least in my opinion, and many, many other sports bettors minds.

    Your better off laying a few points at -120 or -130. Laying that kind of money, even on a good favorite, is no guarantee.  And will cost big loses over the long run.
