Playing the NBA lockout schedule tonight...took NJ +6.5 vs Knicks and Portland -6 vs Denver...
Knicks and Nuggets both playing for 3rd night in a row.

I tried that a couple times and got burned. It's almost impossible to bet on the NBA this year....so unpredictable. Especially with this ridiculous schedule.

At one point, teams in their third game were undefeated.

Tough 1/2 point loss on the Nets, easy win on Blazers

sixers and nuggets have been pretty solid picks so far this year. 2 young and deep teams...they seem to be well equipped for this tough schedule.

Here's my prop plays so far, still contemplating a couple more...

Over 4 FG attempts by both teams +155
Under 7.5 different Giants to have a reception +155
Mannignham to score a TD +160
Danny Woodhead over 12.5 receiving yrds +110
Shortest TD will be over 1.5 yards +110

which site did you get these odds?

i'm in a pool where every prob is -110 whichever way you pick it. could make a killing might just play the odds on this one

The Juggler

one of the pats adjusted lines is -13.5 at +370....i may make a small play on that as i like the pats and can foresee a blowout.

The Juggler

giants to receive opening kickoff -285....not good odds but only because the pats always defer when they win the toss (believe i saw they last time they chose to receive was opening day '08 when they lost brady for the year) and the giants usually elect to receive.

The Juggler

safety by either team +820....BOOM!




seems like a few places have dropped to -2.5:

I got that one at +330...if the Canadiens don't let up more tham 1 goal to Winnipeg in the 3rd I'm gonna have a lttle extra to play with and I might drop a small play on that one.

I usually like to play yes on "will either team attempt a 2 pt conversion"...2 yrs ago was floundering a tad, had that prop and Shockey to score a TD and my day turned around in the bklink of an eye.


Vegas has to be rooting for the Pats, lots more money on the Giants.

You'll miss part of the game....the hoopla is tightly scheduled for before kickoff, it'll kickoff almost exactly on time.

i've never seen a championship game start at the listed time. never. i'm sure i'm not looking at the official time

according to NFL.com, the game starts at 5:20 central time. maybe i'll tune in at 5:40 instead

so...following their loss to the Broncos in 2005 I told my drunken friend (I may have also been 7 or 8 sheets at the time) that the Pats should just explode their team because they weren't going to win with their current regime. He told me they were a juggernaut (they were/are) and would win 2 more times with this team in the following 7 years. Given the ridiculous futures bet that it was we needed to make it memorable. We decided to make it for 2 gallons of wild turkey. Well the bet was really won in 08/09/10 (Gmen/Brady/Welker) when crazy shit went my way. So this weekend my wife agrees to me putting in a 3 tap kegerator, and, because the bet hadn't been paid, I give him double or nothing (except he buy first set of kegs in the dispenser if I win with the GIants on the ML). I like winning bets and being right even when I was pretty wrong.

dude i couldn't believe it! a saftey on the pats first drive. i posted that i was doing that on facebook so my phone was blowing up throughout the first quarter.

plus i had heads and the giants to receive the kick. 3 big wins 5 minutes into the game....all downhill from there on. :x overall i finished down just a little. thank god for that safety.

Nice work on that safety. I wonder what the odds were that a safety would be the first score of the game.

Slap upside the head

I do believe that the official who made that safety call also had a bet on it.
