AshyLarryMP 7-7 (71-70-2)

MIL Bucks +7

LA Clippers +4.5

Over 195.5 MIL Bucks - MIA Heat

bucks are at home, and i do think home court matters, for all the reasons everyone stated combined! its a cumulation effect.. but feel heat will find it tougher to win by DD tonight as i will always take a home dog of this many points, big games from ellis and jennings tonight and heat will of course keep up and probably win by 3-5.. so the over will hit, i'll say 101-97 heat.

clippers because i feel this is too many points.. grizzlies i do believe will win but it'll be a low scoring 1-2pt last possession victory.. even if free throws hit it to 4 the .5 pt is so valuable! trust cp3 and company to keep this to a final bucket game.


infamous mobb where did you get nets+5?? as far as i can see they're a 3.5 dog on many sites..like the picks, but especially nets +5 lol

Thibodeau.

Now, not that the Nets are the suckers, but the series will go to the sixth or seventh game and the Bulls will play to bag this one more than the Nets will feel the necessity of it.

Jpaco 10-2 (52-59-2)

Under 195 MIL Bucks - MIA Heat

mil was able to get it close when they give the ball inside and i think they will do it again and will try to adjust if they can on their def and mia will ofcourse def till the end


Under 182 CHI Bulls - BK Nets

chi won by doing better job in their def so y would they change that and with bk off strugling game 2 they will push hard to score and chi will push more hard on their def and chi def at home is decent


Under 178 MEM Grizzlies - LAC Clippers

im pretty sure mem learned their lesson in 2 games not to run with lac so now they are at home they better play the way they usually play and that's grind the clock and pound it inside

the grizs have to control the pace to win. they are a dominant team at home. clippers are good at the staples arena but away will have a hard time against a home team as the grizs. all this tells me grizs and under.

I was not kidding by a long stretch. As you know also I was not referring to sports in general, was referring to the NBA- If you are saying that the Refs do home cooking that should be categorized as a Ref issue, sort of like when the refs are (over refs, under refs, maybe there are refs that are pro home team, pro away team) this weekend I saw alot of youtube videos on how their was a time when refs just ganged up on Iverson.

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.

when lines set by lvsc the home court means 3 to 6 points (most cases 3 and in a meaningless for away teams  - 6) . in the playoffs we're talking 3 to 4 points while miami being an exceprion as they get inflated lines anywhere.now, that's for a reason turbo.

After a dismal NCAA Basketball season and a dismal NBA season in 2013 NHL and MBL has become a predominant figure in my sportsbetting prowness over the past year. A true handicapper! And I don't really depend on Covers here in Las Vegas as a motive for my bets. However, I will preclude that sometimes we make bets because we like how it rolls off our tongue without consequence.  Especially, after a win!  Or you if you are really out of the loop you will believe that altitude is of some consequence in a basketball game in Colorado? Read between the lines. After a win and you are at home has a lot of great expectations. The Capitals for instance.  Just love how it roles off my tongue.  Sure they have already clinched.  You can say the same thing for... the Red Wings at home, but if you haven't been on an airplane in eight years living in Vegas, that may alter your thinking. Wife, kids, the whole nine, rejuvinated or not, a home bet seems secure, but don't forget McCarran still has one of the longest furloughs for any airport in the nation, and they don't seem to much in a hurry to change that.  Becase doubt is power, so is impulsiveness.  So who has the edge. The fans, and the house always. Bottom Line.  I could live in New Jersey with a peculiar goalie, and a stratified basketball team yet still within the stands I sit emphatically for the Blackhawks.  The Capitals just lost by a 1/2 puck to a good team in the Senators who were on the road in the nations capitol; (lol) Now! whose to refer indirectly without superstition to two middle of the road teams within the cold war battle of the puck?  But whose to say it's a cold war when the "Earth" has exeeded it's expiration date. If you truly without superstition can detect the vitality of a good sports team, not necessarily a good sportsbook; then you will be successful, because good sports teams bounce back.

Hey phix nice going yesterday I just had two bets pregame then live betting.

As for your response I think that is more of what they do rather than why they do it, do you have any good tidbits on that ?
