Ichabod,

Not sure if anyone has asked you this before, but are your picks based on scouting or some type of model? You seem to be doing ridiculously well in every sport I've seen you post plays for.

Ichabod1985, weren't you 5-0-1 yesterday, with that 2nd half miami/san antonio being a push? Great picks by the way.

Looks like I'm the only one who picked Hawks money line tonight [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Bummer on New Orleans though, thought that one was a lock.

My first time posting here...so I apologize in advance if my post is odd.

I've laid 6 casino sports bets in my life and lost all of them(including 3 that were absolute no brainers). So I suck badly at sports betting. Anyway, I'll be in Vegas this weekend and wanted to lay a bet at either Venetian, Bellagio or Cesars.

I assume that they all charge the same and have the same lines?

The game I was thinking about betting was Pistons/Clippers so long as the line was reasonable. My thoughts are that the Clippers are getting an incredible offensive performance right now due to their fast break that is keyed by Kaman's rebounding. While I don't think this will last, I do think that Kaman will have big performances against non premium centers. Detroit doesn't seem to have any one exceptional rebounder, but rather guards and sf who are better than average rebounders for their positions. So I see Kaman getting another 15 or so boards and the Clippers running again. Also, Detroit will be playing back to back games. I hate riding a hot team, but in this case, it might make sense.

Anyone have any thoughts on this, and what a reasonable line ought to be? Thanks.

Last night: 4-2-0 +1.60u
Overall: 6-12-0 -8.59u

Decent night last night after the horrendous night before.

Tonight:
DET -1.5 1u
DET/CHI O11.5 threes 1u
NJ/WASH U191.5 2u

Waiting on numerous health reports in that DAL/GSW game before I make any judgments.

By the way, I bet this because the line is weird. The total for the game is around 191.5 on average, so 93 is low for a first half total (see, e.g., CHI/DET first half is also currently 93 but the game total is only 182. Also the 1Q total for WAS/NJ is 48 and the 2Q total is 47.5, which sums to 95.5. So the 1H line is definitely off relative to the quarter lines and game total line.

YTD 8-9 -.45u

Chi +1 2.2 to win 2.
