replied to Has anyone made any money betting on sports steadily throughout the past year? 'cause I did!

Some people are just wild at dunking like Asik yesterday I don't know how the basket frame (arm that brings the basket from outside to the court) The one thing they can't do unless they always plan to have only an advantage in one half is rigging one rim. One thing I also wonder is places where the courts are not only for them, like LA MSG Orlando etc. I don't know about other arenas but in LA, the Clips and the Lakers have their own hardwood court. They don't share it. View Post \| View Thread	SportsMavin	12682	April 25, 2013 View Post \| View Thread

As you also may have read I was referring to the home court specifics and Cliff pointed out to me how the altitude helps the Nuggets run the competition out of the building (although the last game that played in very little but most of the season proved to be true by their minimal 3 loses at home. In other sports as also stated there are advantages, turf to grass, short left fields like the Yanks have (only applies if the opponent has people that wouldn't also hit that way and if the other team pitches for the Yanks to hit that way etc. There are Domes where in the NFL plays a big rol for teams like the Lions, Cowboys, Falcons and Saints who like to throw the ball, but that can also play against you when teams like Packers, Patriots among others come to your home because that is also what they do. The reason I ask is because I see the lines being set up in the playoffs more than in the regular season to give the edge to the home team, whether by a lower line to the visiting fav or by automatically making the home team a fav. I won't get into the whole ref and business of the NBA as you pointed because while that may be true in the regular season, I don't think it applies to the playoff because the goal is to win a championship and am sure Lebron, Durant, Parker, CP3 can care less if they play at my old HS or at home. During the regular season I can see the effort lacking, but at this stage I think talent and effort should (does not mean it would) be on over drive, does this translate to winning not all the time but you have to do your best if you want to the ring. I had a similar theory when it came to owners etc. Have not researched it much but if that were true it would also mean that most series should be forced into 7 games, more games, more tickets, more concession sales more money, the Heat series should go 7 so that more money goes to the Heat by going back home. While this would prove to be beneficial to most parties involved it can back fire and it really implies unethical doing by the owners and refs (trust me I have been on both sides of refs that have got to be placing third party bets somewhere) good example the Heat Bulls game that ended the streak. If what you want is drama and entertainment and revenue the idea was to keep the streak going not to make a cartoon out of this game. I have never seen a backourt 8 sec violation be over turned, that is like overturning a foul (while they do get the chance to grade them differently they don't take fouls back like they do in the NFL when sometimes they will pick up the flag) at least I have not seen it. So as my questions stated besides the CROWD go team go. As well as the recently discussed Denver altitude advantage, what else should we be looking for if we don't buy into the money side of the business? Some may say it is a business and that is all that matters... in other to what you say to happen everyone has to be in on it including the players, if that is the case then we are in more trouble than I thought, always weary of the refs but if all you bring into the post is true it would mean that the best team is not the one that is going to win it all. You could also look at the tactile strength of the rim. In some arenas, rims are loose and in others, they're tight. Also, when you're at home, you're familiar with the court you play on. Just as in baseball, fielders get a cleaner and better jump on balls hit to them, in basketball, there are subtle differences in the hardwood an experienced basketball team could take advantage of. While it may be safe to assume that all the hardwood in the NBA is uniform, all it takes is a possession or two to swing a game in home court's favor and hence, the series. More than anything else though, as you've mentioned, I think crowd advantage plays the biggest factor. Its damn near impossible to put a value on it because every situation varies but there aren't many athletes in general with skin thick enough to block out the noise and do their job.

I'll be okay if it's just torn too. Either way, I'm alright with it. View Post \| View Thread	Bucktown	8	April 13, 2013 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Say Bye-Bye to Kobe in Laker Uniform! in NBA Betting If Kobe is amnestied, Lakers will do what they do. They will simply reload. I know it's unlikely but I think there is a way to pry Love away from MIN. Love wants to come home. With Kobe off the books, Lakers could form a package to entice Love away. Add one or two effective veterans and then resign D12, Lakers could field a stronger club next year than having Kobe in the mix.

replied to Kobe torn achillies in NBA Betting I've been a Laker fan all my life. Needless to say, I watch every game. If its torn, I think Lakers have no choice but to amnesty him. A team is bigger than the player and the Lakers fans know what I'm talking about. If amnestied, I don't know how that affects his legacy. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. Lakers need to move Gasol for Love. Love should force a move to LA. Love wants LA so bad he could taste it. View Post \| View Thread	KobezKing	101	April 13, 2013 View Post \| View Thread

created a topic Say Bye-Bye to Kobe in Laker Uniform! in NBA Betting By the sound of it, it seems as if Kobe's achilles is torn. If that is the case -gulp- Lakers are probably going to amnesty him. I kind of glanced it over but I think an injured player could be amnestied. View Post \| View Thread	Bucktown	8	April 13, 2013 View Post \| View Thread

replied to Johnson's NBA Sunday 4/7 in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by CMJohnson1: Knicks vs. Thunder UNDER 196 (1.1 to win 1) Early Sunday UNDER. 70% or so on the OVER...line has recently dropped to 195.5 at a lot of books. I know it looks enticing, but I'm trusting the biggest betting trend that I have followed and that has continuously worked out for me. Should be a great game for sure as the Thunder just blew out the Pacers in Indy the other night, and as I said on my write-up for that game...I think the Thunder are looking at these two games as proving grounds that they are ready for whatever the East brings them. Prediction: Thunder 99 Knicks 90 The sharps hit the under hard last night when the lines came out. More casual bettors woke up this morning, saw the RLM, and I'm guessing, is betting the under. Both teams have been locking down lately. With all that said, however, I'm leaning towards the over. Double RLM might be in play here and Knicks are lacking paint presence.

replied to Johnson's NBA Thursday 3/28 in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by CMJohnson1: For the college plays of the Sweet 16..... Marquette vs Miami (FL) OVER 127 (1.1 to win 1) Injury to Johnson limits the rotations, tired legs, more inside points Arizona vs. Ohio State UNDER 134 (1.1 to win 1) The bigs of the Wildcats and their tough rebounding will severely limit Craft and the Buckeyes. 70 points will be hard to get to. I have to disagree with you on these picks. I see both Marquette and Miami putting up about 55 shots apiece. I expect them to hit about 41%. Throw in FTs and extra pts for threes, I still see this game coming under. As for ARI game, I think if Lyons puts up over 20pts, this game goes over. The way OSU plays, I think they could put up 70 tonight. On another note, what site do you use to check betting %? View Post \| View Thread	CMJohnson1	25	March 28, 2013 View Post \| View Thread

If the free throws come, it will be Dwight shooting them and he shoots below 50%. I watch all Lakers games and generally, Lakers don't foul too much. They rather you score the basket and not earn it at the line. As for Lakers, they shoot jumpers. View Post \| View Thread	Slapem	15	March 28, 2013 View Post \| View Thread

A wide majority of the early betting public is on the UNDER...if the total doesn't move, a play on the OVER would certainly be considered. Which site or sites do u check out to gauge betting %?
