WNBA FRIDAY !!!

YTD  6-8  ( -4.60 units )

5u  0-0

2u  2-4
1u  3-3

TULSA +9 ( 3 units )
I might be stretching it a little when i say the Tulsa Shock could easily be 4-0 instead of a disappointing  0-4, but the numbers don't lie. Three losses by a combined 6 points and a misleading 88-79 loss against the Silver Stars in a game which they actually lead  by 1 with 45 seconds to play. I admit they've had trouble closing games but you gotta cut them some slack, after all they start 3 rookies. I'm looking at this Seattle team and I see a veteran core of starters that are having a difficult time with basic basketball  fundamentals. They've lost the turn over battle in every game so far  and have gone to the free throw line a dismal  total of  35 times in 3 games in comparison  to Tulsa who have gone to the line 76 times in their last 3 versus Pho,Wash and LA. The Storm only go 6 deep and I think Tulsa has a better bench. The Shock are leading the league in forced turnovers averaging over 26 a game. Their bench players got 45 points in the Mercury game. What else can you ask for ?
I laid -118 and took the +9 in this game!  THE STORM SHOULD NOT BE LAYING THIS HIGH A NUMBER.
Seattle  beat up on Tulsa last season winning every game by an average of 17 points. It's payback time for Tulsa !!! HEY BUT ALL I NEED IS A COVER.
FINAL SCORE SEATTLE 74 TULSA 72

THIS MY ONLY BET TODAY.   GLTA

I would have to not agree with this pick.

Previous games doesn't matter. If you had the same logic for spurs vs okc- you wouldn't have bet okc -3.5 today.  ....... they dominated.

It's all about the situation and who's playing.

Look who Storm has played - LA LA - MIN .... best teams in the league. They are piiiisssed. They are home, they will win . They might dominate actually.

Great argument.......Can't wait to see what gems come with your next 5 posts.

Totally agree dimes,

this is not last years tulsa shock.  They dont quit and play right to the buzzer. they cover this number easily

also like minasotta -1.5, over 140tulsa/shock, phonix+9.5 and under 175.5 and washington+11

always check your picks and enjoy your thoughts....bol....

a quick question though.....how much do you take into account the opening line for WBNA games......for example pinnacle opened at -13.5 for seattle....it dropped quickly but does the original line ever worry you....they think a blowout is expected perhaps....do you find the likes of pinny can be this far out from where the line settles later in the day......

Pinny is first to open that is correct. They post their lines approximately 11 AM EST the day before game day.
I've seen sides and totals change or move up and down within seconds , and I mean some significant line moves. I've seen totals move by almost 10 points within 15 minutes of the opener.
Now since most of the players here on covers are recreational sports gamblers hardly anyone pays attention to this and I totally understand.
In the past, I often posted plays with numbers that were simply not available once the other markets opened. I was accused of posting misinformation , which in fact is totally false. I just got fed up of ,so now i post my picks when the numbers are painted.

Despite the fact that Seattle is a tough place to play, neither of these teams remotely resemble last year's versions. The books don't seem to have adjusted for that. TUL still has the rep of doormat and SEA has the rep of champs (albeit one year removed). 

Best of Luck 

on it myself
they were competitive against LA. the Storm shouldn't be favored as high add to that a preseason game when Tulsa got a W 86-60 . I put some on Shock ml too. GL Dimes

Agree

tulsa got beat by only 2 players

bad coaching

they shouldve tried to shut bird down and let the others beat them
