Only game of the night: Mercury @ Sparks

*No need for a record.  I'm a barely break even bettor just challenging himself with the frustrations, emotional roller coaster ride, and confusion of sports betting..*

A lesson that I learned from my early days of losing bets:

"When you don't know/question/are confused as to why a team is laying points, LAY THE POINTS!" Especially on the road..

In my early days of betting, I made "the mistake" of taking the points when the end result, the team that should never be laying points, covered. 

The play?

Phoenix Mercury -5 (-110)

Rationale: When you question why a team is laying points, is usually when they'll cover. In this virtual coin toss of a game, Mercury is laying 5.5 points on the ROAD. At home, that's understandable but on the road? 

As usual, always remember to BET RESPONSIBLY  and BOL  if you tail or fade. 

Feel free to leave behind some constructive criticism.. 

good luck SQ!!

Ugly game Square. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Sparks are tanking. Toliver looks disinterested, both sisters are out still and overall they look pathetic. Cooper out tonight as well as she got a one game suspension for leaving her bench during a little altercation on the court vs Minny. If anything I would play Mercury as well because they need a big win to get back on track but I also can’t trust them until DT gets back. BOL mate but I will wait for tomorrow’s games

As always, thanks for the constuctive input that will benefit the whole community. With all that you stated, the line movement, lack of, has me a bit worried. It should be going in the opposite direction but it's not. 

O well, what can I do. My bets are locked in now at -5 (the larger wager of the 2) and at -5.5 and sometimes, line movement is NOT an indicator of the outcome..

 to us Mercury spread backers.. 

I woke up and saw the result this morning..

I'll be into work...
