Numberz 2008-09 NBA THREAD....

[NumberZ]

love the under in the LAL/ BOS game. bos is known of the D and lakers are always getting shit for their lack of D. i think both step up huge in this rivalry and lakers will want to prove that they can play D and win with out bynum in the middle. best of luck

I agree, these high profile matchups tend to bring out the best defense in both teams. L.A. ended last season realizing the importance of defense and playing physical. Though they do not carry it over to this year consistently, they do seem to bring it against teams who play that style, like Boston clearly does. L.A. has had the luxury of not needing to play 'championship caliber defense' in light of their prolific offense, however colliding with the best defensive team in the league, will likely shift their focus back to the defensive end for this one. Playing with 'tired legs' is a concern for me, which is why I chose to make it a small play. With that being said, I still like the play. L.A. cannot expect to win this one without matching Boston's defensive intensity, which I expect to be there throughout the game. Let's hope there is no excessive fouling by either team that leads to free points. Had L.A. been rested for this game, it would be a bigger play for me. But still like it, nonetheless.

GL to us seanjohn007 :toast:

Thanks, Glad to hear u cashed

My lean is on Utah -3 and Under 209...Still have not decided if I will make a play on either..

Don't want to take you off the game though, if you feel it go for it..you won't have anyone but yourself to blame if Dallas cashes and you don't..

GL tonight japapino :toast:

Yes I agree, but overtime made the game more exciting so it's all good. :toast:

4-1, tonight.

4-1-1, tonight, but just a hair away from a 6-0 sweep. The only loss coming from the Under in Boston, which saw the bet crack in overtime. Such an exciting game that I actually wanted over time despite the bet on the Under, which would've cashed had the game ended in regulation. :think2: LOL It was an amazing game, and it lived up to all the hype The Under in Philadelphia cashed easily, and stayed 23.5 points under the posted total. Philly played one step of ahead of the Pacers all night long, both defensively and offensively. Brought in the W on the 2nd half play, and a push for the bet on the game, which should have cashed, had it not been for missed free-throws in the last few seconds of the game and garbage 3's from Indiana. Another one of those types of situations, where all you can say is, "it happens." No big deal, there. Jazz under cashed, despite the Jazz scoring 115 in the game. Jazz covered the spread easily, and probably should've been bet harder on my part. It is not every day that you will see such a dominant home team, like the Utah Jazz have been, and continue to be, only favored by 3 in their own building :shocked:, against inconsistent competition that was coming off back to back, 3 games in 4 days and traveling from east coast to west coast :think2: Had it been the 1st game of the day, I have a strong feeling I would've made it a much larger play. Got caught up with Boston L.A. drama. That was a mental error on my part for not fully seizing the opportunity there. But 4-1, is a great night, nonetheless

Hope everyone else, had a profitable night tonight :toast:

Thank you for the kind words chima, and best of luck with all your future wagers :toast:

If I could offer you 1 piece of advice, (and to anyone else, gambling for the 1st time in their lives)..it would be this...Save up a fixed bank roll and bet small in the beginning. I've seen too many people fall victim to bad habits and excessive betting. Only very small, and calculated percentages of your entire bankroll wagered on any 1 play. Stay conscious of your record, it will help motivate you. As you continue to bet, I have faith that you will pick up the tricks of the trade, and improve your skills, so long as you pay attention to details along the way. And, although, as you mentioned, some of those skills are acquired as the result of experience. Money management, should not be one of those lessons learned through experience! It should be practiced from the beginning! Only this will provide you, with the room that is needed to improve..take my word for it..PM if you would like to talk about this further..just remember..bet smart, and put yourself in a position to become successful

And GL once again,

Z

Chima, I received your PM, but in trying to respond to your questions, I am being told that you are not allowed to receive PM's. Perhaps there is something that you need to turn on? Let me know when you are able to receive PM's and I will gladly assist anyway I can, by responding to your questions.
