yeah,

that was nice, glad you cashed as well. that was the best bet I've seen in a while, I'm glad it worked out. on the upcoming games I dont see too much, so I'll probably cut back on wager size, or wait until halftimes. historically I havent done as well on first round games 4 and on. since I have not watched a single nba game this year, I have no idea if teams like Boston or NY has quit.

Dallas G4 -2 1st q for .6%
not a very good bet, but I will be looking for something at the half.

Detroit G5 -11 for 1.5%
Detroit has dominated the 2nd halves vs Milwaukee, not sure if Milwaukee has quit, but pretty sure waiting until the half would give me a 'worse' line on Detroit. looking for a possible under play on the 2nd half if Detroit is cruising.

probable wager on LA -7.

thanks, fwiw went 1-1 as the 1st h went over, 2nd guessed myself and didnt put my original intent of 1.0% on LA to cover the game, wary of Kobe status and being the only game on the board.

I have DET -15 to -16 for game 5. I took it early at -11 and I think it may close -13. Mil has scored 36 and 43 points at home in the 2nd halves of their last two games, losing both by DD. I dont see them rebounding in this spot down 3-1 at DET. I lean to the over, but will most likely pass. I am looking for a possible large play on the 2nd half under or 4th q under in this game.

Dal/Sac: not a real good feel for this game. I lost the first game under by a point, and passed on the total since, a big mistake. I havent looked at this game a whole lot, and may pass until the half. My hunch is that Dallas wins straight up, but this is a similar spot that Houston was in last night and they got blown the f*** out. It's worth noting that Dallas does have playoff experience and these two teams know each other well. How much is this playoff experience worth? Not sure, with jump shooting teams that play little defense anything can happen and with both teams good from the FT line the officiating can often come into play. When I try to picture what type of game this ends up, I see a result similar to game 2 more often than not. Usually I would take Dallas in the 1st q, but for some reason I am warned off that.

hard to go against the Spur$, my direction is that the Spurs are unbeatable until beaten, not LOCK STATUS, but I will need a good reason to fade them. I am eyeing their dog status to win the West, but not as much value as last year there. I'm a bit overdue for a rough stretch, but I usually do better the farther the playoffs go along. I did win 3 or 4 games by a single point earlier, I usually lose those, and it is a minor miracle I am doing well with all the favorites covering so far. LA won the season 3-1 over SA I believe, but I think the first one was when Duncan was out, LA was a 10 pt fave, and I lost the SA ml on that one in OT, I think. There is a dangerous angle that I am going against for SA/LA game one, I have laid off it so far this playoff year since I did not like the matchups, but I used it in the MLB playoffs recently. I have SA -7 to -7.5 hitting about 57% of the time for game one, it's just what I see right now. The Lakers just dont seem to have their sh*t together, at least not enough to challenge SA right now, of course that can change in a heartbeat. I WILL be watching those games. Actually watching the games may screw me up, I may tend to overreact to something, especially on 2nd halves. Just thinking out loud. But I will try to write a little about each wager as there are fewer bets to look at. That way people can see why I like something, see what I am missing or focusing on, and make their own decisions.

I will probably take Denver in the first quarter tonight. Probably .4% on the pts and .2% on the ml. MIN most likely blows them the f*** out by the end of the game but I like Denver to put together some real effort in the 1st, and MIN may just be jabbing to open this game. I am also looking for something in the 2nd, I am looking for a 2nd half under or 4th q under scenario. good luck the rest of the way.

that sucks, I figured Miami would shoot better from the line at home, had they done a better job there etc, etc, etc, would have hit 175 or more. I guess that's why they call it gambling...I mean investing. I see pinnacle has already moved SA to 5.5, if you know what I mean.
