NBA Betting for January 2006

[Trey]

oh yeah id put a buck on the sonics beating the bulls...teams always win when they get a new coach

 

[justdabestcards]

hehe im interested coz I know my shite...Im coming in the top 3000 on nba.com for the fantasy league...out of 300,000 it aint bad!

hehe, we'll see mate... sometimes it's harder to pick when there's money involved

 

[Trey]

my logic is...

$1.00 on Chris Paul to score over 20 vs Heat = $2.45
he avgs 18+ at home, last game was with no Shaq but Zo, he scored 16 2nd time round I see a bit of an improvement especially at home and if they get running....

$1.00 on Wade to score 24-27 = $4.30
he has avg 25 ppg vs Hornets, he also avgs about that AWAY. He's had a few days off and only played 33 mins last game.

$1.00 on garnett to score 21-24 = $3.90
Avgs 23ish at home, about that vs Mavs...and has been around that all season.

$1.00 on Dirk to score 23 or under = $2.25
past 5 games dirk has been up and down...good shooting, bad, good, bad, good vs blazers...coming up vs KG, expect it to be bad. Only scored around 20 last match up, and doesnt avg heaps vs Twolves....

yeah I know...but I figure instead of throwing $200 in a pokie...this is way more fun!

Let's see if you will have beginners luck! My first bet was for NJ to win straight up against the Nuggets at Denver.. A few minutes into the first quarter, Carmelo stacks it and gets injured.. and Nets come up with the win. My $5 became $21.50.

I'm backing Trey's bet for $1.

NBA Wednesday 4/1 - PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS at SAN ANTONIO SPURS - Head To Head - SAN ANTONIO SPURS Win 1.03 1.00 95.22
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - MIAMI HEAT at NEW ORLEANS HORNETS - Player Performance - C.Paul (Hornets) - C.Paul (Hornets) 20 Points Or Over Win 2.45
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - MIAMI HEAT at NEW ORLEANS HORNETS - Player Performance - D.Wade (Heat) - D.Wade (Heat) 24 - 27 Points Win 4.30
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - DALLAS MAVERICKS at MINNESOTA T-WOLVES - Player Performance - K.Garnett (Timberwolves) - K.Garnett (Timberwolves) 21 - 24 Points Win 3.90
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - DALLAS MAVERICKS at MINNESOTA T-WOLVES - Player Performance - D.Nowitzki (Mavericks) - D.Nowitzki (Mavericks) 23 Points Or Under Win 2.25
95.22 Effective Price

Of course I added the Spurs to win.

YOUR 100% RIGHT ON THAT ONE

Thank GOODNESS we DON'T HAVE POKIES in WA at all - only place you can gamble is at the TAB or at the Burswood Casino 8)

Spun me out when I drove round Oz and stayed at all the pubstays... SA, VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD & NT have a major pokie problem - they're everywhere and chances to win are small :roll:

I like sportsbet of course, but pokies SUCK ASS ... THEY DON'T EVEN MAKE SENSE :evil:

 

[kidd05]

Okay Im gonna start afresh and keep track of my record on the forums.. 1 unit will be equal to $10 for me.

Here are my plays for tomorrow:

NBA Wednesday 4/1 - CLEVELAND CAVALIERS at MILWAUKEE BUCKS - Head To Head - CLEVELAND CAVALIERS Win 1.68
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - MIAMI HEAT at NEW ORLEANS HORNETS - Head To Head - MIAMI HEAT Line -6.0 1.91
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS at SAN ANTONIO SPURS - Head To Head - SAN ANTONIO SPURS Line -14.5 1.91


Effective price: 6.13

Putting 0.6 units on this.

NBA Wednesday 4/1 - MIAMI HEAT at NEW ORLEANS HORNETS - Head To Head - MIAMI HEAT Win 1.37
NBA Wednesday 4/1 - PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS at SAN ANTONIO SPURS - Head To Head - SAN ANTONIO SPURS Win 1.03
1.41 Effective Price


And 5 units on this.. I doubt this will lose. Instant $20 payout. If this loses, Im gonna burn my Shaq and Wade autos. (not) and collect every Portland player's cards out there. (not)

CAN'T LOSE MATE :wink:

I'll pay ya to let me burn ur shaqs if the worst happens though

WOW, you make $1.50 for the $50 (sorry 5 units) you outlay on the spurs :shock:

 

[justdabestcards]

I THINK TOTTENHAM ARE GOOD VALUE NOT TO LOSE @ $1.53 (OR WIN FOR THE GUTSY @ $2.90) AGAINST MAN CITY IN PREMIER LEAGUE....

GOOD ODDS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN'T EAT VALUE :?

[kidd05]

Hey Colin you have to say how much you put on it.

Do it Jimmy J style hehe. Im following your lead on the leading scorer bets. Can't lose!

I put $5 on Dirk and $4 on KG + multis with Spurs and Heat win. (Pays around $15 and $20 respectively) If Wally wins this feel free to sell me Wally Szczerbiack autos!

 

[ducky_poo]

i did ten each way on dirk or kg top scoring

and another ten on the games

expected payout $160

but like the odds hope it works

 

[lockymac]

Hey justdabestcards
Good call on Tottenham
They won 2-0
I had andy Cole NOT scoring in a parlay
So thats a good start
Good call mate
Hope you got on it!

 

[Billyhoyle]

looks like nowitzki's slump is over and has screwed you. 15 at half time

 

[kidd05]

Nah man MIAMI is screwing me.

WHY?!?

 

[kidd05]

I think were a bunch of jinxers here.. hehe.

Firstly, Heat lose by 20 pts when I said its impossible for them to lose. Good thing I put very tiny (NOT)s on my post saying im gona burn my wade and shaq autos.

Then.. KG and DIRK ties with 23 pts.. making the bet void.

Did anyone actually win anything? My calls were almost spot on except the Heat and the Bulls game. DAMN YOU ANTOINE WALKER! YOURE THE WORST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!

 

[Billyhoyle]
