I really, really hope the Lakers win their next few games at home, just so that everyone can say, hey the Lakers have turned it around and maintain inflated numbers on the road.

Let's not kid ourselves though, the Lakers are done. Stick a fork in 'em.

I'm sorry to hear that, but as I said earlier - it's in the testing mode now, so I'm asking for a little time and patience... in this early phase we have to threat this as an experiment...

Today looks pretty tough. LAC look like the best bet of them all but they've dropped 3 in a row ATS and I'm suspecting a lot of that has to do with CP.

Perhaps this is a good time to fade a zero rest team in PHO and look for a bounce back win after two straight losses?

Mavin, simplicity my friend it is as easy as taking the Lakers for what they are ...lousy. No line movement no motivating factors will help this team. Remember the Heat when they started with Wade, Bosh and LeBron, chemistry does not happen in one season. 

Good luck my friend!

I think you still have to respect the level of talent there and realize that those guys could turn it on at any minute. It's probably just safer just to avoid betting game they're in.

01/22/2013 @ 11:56 PM NBA

[2507] TOTAL o100½-110 

(2H OKLAHOMA CITY vrs 2H LA CLIPPERS) ----------> WIN


I think that Houston made a nice comeback in the last game and may be coming out of the funk they got in. With this I also expect them to play tight defense and try to slow down the Nuggets who are coming off a big win against the Thunder.


The Lakers I am just picking because Memphis started the year out with big wins against big teams like GSW JAZZ HEAT THUNDER KNICKS LAKERS (there is talent there just no passion or chemistry) 


That being said they have gone over 100 pts twice in recent meeting and faded against the pacers twice most recently two days ago.


The Lakers showed some life in the 2H of both their last two games but have started the games in big funks down by 15 on each game at some point in the 1Q.


Washington has been shooting like they are plaing with a tennis ball on a basketball rim- I think the bigger Utah players will slow down the game.


Phoenix and Kings when they are on they don't play defense and just shoot 3pts all day- hoping for a few misses today. Kings being the home team may pull this off.


OKC was on a roll yesterday so I just picked them for the 2H and the over as Durant had a terrible 1H-


5 of 8 still staying above 50%

Most of the write up is on an earlier post on this page-


I will watch closely the MIAMI HOUSTON LAKERS OKC games as potential single bets on the Parlay above.


Monday did not hit over 50% yesterday I went over 50%- Trying to be consistent above 50% and then as previously stated continue to pick 2-3 games to Parlay or go straight bet.


Monday

3 of 9 $1 for 300 L

5 of 9 $1 for 17.25 L


Tuesday

8 of 10 with 2 games pending that are today WED $1 to win $642.08

3 of 5 with 2 games pending that are OPEN spots $50 to win $929.71

2 of 8  with 6 pending for WED $3 for $231.35


GL 

4 out of 10 under 50%

KINGS THUNDER and SPUR all gave away the lead late-  SPURS second half efforts look now like point shaving efforts.

I agree 

Only prime time match ups should be looked at with the Lakers-

Toronto Orlando over under has jumped up almost 5 points since opening. Anyone know why? Need to check officials trend.

You can check the line history for all the sites that covers monitors. It opened at between 194 and 198.5 at different places.

Some of the Parlays are really HR hitters but the main idea is to continue to improve and lately I am about 60% on them and picking out 2-3 to go straight bet for $50 or so

yesterday I picked Raptors to cover Heat under and OKC under so 2-3

New day today-

Underdog yes- at least last week that worked for me- The pattern last week was under and visiting team regardless of the spread.

someone pointed out earlier in the week how the knicks would not have motivation until the upcoming Celtics game- Based on their last meeting I am inclined to pick the knicks- and the under as part of an open parlay- also liking the clips and the under here- aside from yesterday the suns have not gone over 100 many times this year and you can blame that on the kings horrible defense- I know they are at home but the clips need a bounce back and get back in order. This bet will probably be a 3-4 teamer with 2 open spots to make it a 5 to 6 teamer $50 for $900 or more.

Not sure about the toronto game although I would also like to parlay all the 1q overs today for a small bet of $5 which I will also include the overs for MIL 198 and OKC 209 Memphis 176 and Houston 200 also on the radar for possible overs.
