SOS, please use the RR for your issues. There is a copy there. Thanks.

At no point did I claim they were oscar locks. And, you can do whatever makes you happy. I just hope that you get banned for good from one of the moderators.

By the way, SOS, can we agree that the closing line last night was 14? Can we agree that Skybook offers a free half point? Can we agree that had you played it there you would have won the game?

I refuse to post a game as a loss when I won it, to make SOS happy.

Thank you.

Yes I will agree the closing line was 14 at many places. Yes I will agree that Skybook offers a free halfpoint. Yes we can agree that had I played it there I would have won the game.

What's your point? Your excuse wasn't that you got that 13.5 point line, it was that you took an early line but just never got around to posting it until 6:30 -- after the line had shifted. Bringing up now that you got it at 13.5 because of Skybook just makes it look even more like you cherry picked the line.

Adding Northwestern -1/2 point at Skybook (equivalent to a pick 'em).

Adding UAB -7.5

Illinois -1.5.

And, that's all she wrote for tonight. Good luck, fellas.

Hawks +11.

Good luck tonight.

There is NO WAY that Cleveland should be laying that kind of number against a junior varsity girl's high school basketball team, let alone another team in the NBA.

Looks like a blowout early, but double digits spread tend to come down to the end, but...


I've found that when the public is betting on or against a team that they are usually ALWAYS on or against, its a solid fade play.

Ex. When the public bets AGAINST the Lakers, Lakers are a lock... Same tonight, for the first time probably all season the public is on the Hawks.

 

[jcambert]

And, the public is on UAB tonight. But, we shall see. I try not to concern myself with that anymore.

[jcambert]

Oh, you are talking about Atlanta. You aren't tying to rub salt in my wounds, are you? I know you wouldn't be doing that. Anyway, the game isn't over, and, Cleveland is certainly not the type of team that should feel comfortable with a lead...any lead.

Extra half unit on Memphis +3.5. So, Memphis +3.5 for 1.5 units total.
