Not quite as good as the Boston/Philly under of yesterday (which I sadly didn't bet), but I still see this one going under. New York also played an OT game yesterday and might be tired. I am not taking the Dallas spread because NY has played better teams fairly tough when at home.
Oklahoma City/Sacramento - Under 206.5 - Sacramento has scored few points since Cousins went out. In 5 of their past 6 games, they scored 96 or fewer in regulation. OKC has scored over 110 in their last two games, but against teams with very poor defense. Sac has allowed fewer than 100 points against them in 6 of their past 8.
Dallas/NY is off the board on Bovada, as are two other games. This one specifically is off because Parsons may be out for Dallas.
Bet 735 to win 700 on OKC/Sac Under 206
Watch for halftime bets tonight.
Specifically, watch for halftime blowouts at Min/Was and Sac/OKC, and bet on the team getting blown out if line is reasonable.
If either Min or Sac is winning at halftime, it's probably good to fire on the home team, but I'll have to see the lines to see if I like them.
You know what, I'm gonna add OKC -8 at Sac to this.
Sac has looked sooooooooooo bad without Cousins, and in fact just fired their coach (as discussed here).
Gotta think that a resurgent OKC (healthy, and looking to move up the tough Western Conference playoff spot ladder) is going to crush them.
I really appreciate this info and your opinions Druff. I have pretty much zero skills in sportsbetting as it is, so I am following along (when I have time)
so, the line moved from 206.5 to 206... im assuming that is still good enough to take the under?Quote:

People like to bash the public money and say that the public are idiots, but when the line moves a good deal, usually the side moving it is right.
The line is now 208 on the Sac game, so I wouldn't touch it anymore. I no longer like my bet as much for that reason alone.
Small line movements don't mean anything. However, I haven't seen many games where the line moves a ton in the opposite direction and you still win.

At the risk of sounding like an inexperienced idiot, my question in my head is - what do they know that the public doesn't know? but i guess there is a reason why they are the ones moving the lines, because they know what they are doing...
The books' goals are to get an even amount of money on both sides, so they have a risk-free profit.Quote:

They move the line when disproportionate money goes on one side, hoping to lure in people who were staying away because the line was too low.
What does the "public money" know? Well, the public money is basically an aggregate of all money bet. So if there's a disproportionate number of people leaning one way, usually there's a reason for it -- and that reason is because the line was poorly set.
So why not jump on the line once it's been "corrected" by movement? Because often it's still not correct, but has just moved a few points due to the lopsided betting. So maybe the correct line should have been 211 here, which means Over 206 is a great bet, and 208 is still very good. I don't know. I liked the under 206, but admittedly not nearly as much as the under for Boston/Philly last night, which was perplexing in how high it was. I don't like making "star" picks because that degrades the value of your other picks, but maybe I'll start separating which ones I REALLY like and which ones I just like.
Sorry in advance. I tailed both as I have nothing else that looks decent tonight.Quote:

Dan druff. Read a thing where teams always cover with new coach. Like dramatic numbers. I think it will go opposite tonight.
Also read kings new owner wants run and gun rez ball. With a cherry picker streaking down court after opponents shots or even as far as a guy hanging at half court.
If they actually make Corbin implement this it could end 120-105 okc.
So funny this guy is an Indian with a dot and he has the same basketball philosophy as every Indian with a feather team ive ever played against growing up.
I'm not giving up my malone personally offended owners with a behind the scenes fuck up but with this new news that the owner wants a dramatically different and unheard of in the nba basketball style that Malone refused to implement makes me think you are probably right.
Holy shit. I just thought of something. If vivek forces Corbin to keep running this style Cousins will get a triple double every other game.
Well I'm not betting on it anyway right now because the Bovada line sucks balls.Quote:

Fired 880 to win 800 on NO -8 2nd half.
They are at home and down 3 at the half to Utah.
Almost fired over 100 2nd half on Was/Min but chickened out, and it easily covered.
