Well it's the All-Star Break already. Half way mark. I have been very inconsistent with my posting. I'm new at this forum stuff so I tend to forget to post after I call by bookie and put in my bets. So if I try to say that I'm up, I'll be called a B.S.ter. For the second half of the season, I'm really going to make a BIG effort to consistently post my picks. It's just hard sometimes because when I get my lines (which is usually half an hour b'4 game time) from my book, I'm somewhere with no access to a computer. And by the time I get home or access to a CPU, then the game has already started so it's too late to post. I'll do my best. Also, sorry if my write-ups aren't as good as alot of you veteraqnts (whom I have alot of respect for and look foward to reading your posts.) because I don't really keep up with the stats too much. My write ups are solely based on gut feelings, recent trends and streaks. So fade me or tail me it's your call to make.
YTD NBA 2004/2005
SIDES: 4-4 (+3 units)
PARLEYS: 0-2 (-6 units)
MIN -3.5 The Wolves are now playing with renewed confidence and game plan stategy under a new head coach they respected as a G.M. To Quote K.G. "He is a breath of FRESH AIR ." So with that said I feel that the T-WOLVES are pumped full of adrenaline and confidence which are key ingredients to winning games, because physically pretty much anybody can beat anyone on any given day. It almost all depends on their desire to win and their confident level which McHale is providing. My call is that it's going to be a battle but T-Wolves will cover this one.(5 units)WIN
MIN/CLE OVER 189.5 Cavs can be counted on to score 100+ pts and MIN with their renewed drive to win will have to step up on the scoring to keep up. So I think 191.5 is an easy total for this game to go over.(5 units) LOSS
DAL/PHO OVER 229.5 This game will definately be a shoot out between 2 offensive monsters. who can score at will but can't defend for squat. It's one of those game where you can just enjoy back and forth baskets. Plus trends are that if the guys in Vegas are predicting such a high total than more than likely it will be over. Although it's a scary number to call over but there's a reason why. The boys in Vegas never give you a free shot. So resist the temtation to go for the obvious and more logical under bet. (Just to prove my point on this call I'm gonna double my bet on this one. I'll put 10 units on this over , I know, Iknow I must be a NUTCASE .) WIN
The lines I posted last night were lines that were shown at the time last night. I changed them since by the time I got my lines from my bookie (which is always half an hour before game time)
they were slightly different. I readjusted them accordingly. So here is my updated YTD
YTD NBA 2004-2005
SIDES: 6-5 (+13 units)
PARLEYS: 0-2 (-6 units)
See you guys next week. Have a great week-end and enjoy the ALL-STAR break. :cheers: :cheers: :booz:
