Yeah I'm skipping both. Detroit just doesn't seem to lose big often (they even kept it very close last 2 games against Wizards and Pistons, despite Grant missing all of one game and most of the other). On the flip side, Dallas just doesn't blow out opponents very often, and is also inconsistent (they've had some massive losses in the past few weeks).
Maybe I'll see both of these games end up with 21+ margins, but this just doesn't really fit my model, so I'll pass.
Good non-bet. Detroit kept it close, and led most of the game. Dallas blew the Lakers out but sat players and let it get closer in the 4th Q.
I’m intrigued by the strategy— Hawks or Pelicans road blowouts tonight maybe?
Was considering Hawks but decided not to. First, the Hawks are mediocre, and second, they don't win blowouts a lot. Their last blowout win was February 26. For the same reasons I stayed away from the two yesterday (which was wise), I didn't like this one. However, Atlanta is up 27 at the half, so I obviously regret not betting it. This isn't a lock, though, as big halftime leads often lead to early trash time, which can make the game finish at an under-21-point margin.Originally Posted by Sandwich
I'm still deciding on the Blazers. Portland, which is current the most blown-out team in the NBA by a wide margin, actually keeps it a lot closer against below-average teams. It's against the good teams where it seems the -20.5 is money.
Since Feb 24, Portland has lost by 21+ against Golden State (pre-Curry injury), Denver, Phoenix, Minnesota, Utah, Indiana, New York, and San Antonio. They've covered +21 against Minnesota (but got blown out next game against them), Washington, Atlanta, Brookyln, Detroit, Houston (twice), and OKC.
That means Portland is 1-5 against the +21 spread against good teams, 2-3 against the +21 spread against mediocre teams, and 4-0 against the +21 spread against bad teams, since 2/24/22.
New Orleans falls into the "mediocre" category (though on the lower end of it), and we're only getting +215 for this one, since the normal spread is -14.5.
I'm still analyzing this one in other ways, and I'l get back to you shortly.
Okay, I'm a bit late to the party -- the line was much better earlier, but I decided I like it.
New Orleans -20.5 +215 vs. Portland
Regular line is -15 now, so you're only needing another 6 points.
I think Rory and Cam Smith cover a lot of ground next weekend. Either one of them winning wouldn’t surprise me.
I think “at the odds” both Im and Lowry are both attractive. They play this 50 times and I could see both winning once if not more.
Well Atlanta didn't cover the 21. Good pass!
However I should've passed on NO. They aren't playing well, game has been close the whole way.
Lakers with no AD/Lebron again. Jazz had a brutal road trip where they went 0-5, falling to under .500 on the road, but 26-11 at home. Note that the altittude in Salt Lake City is 4200, and is enough to make players more tired if they're not used to it.
Utah in danger of falling into 7th seed, which would force them into that play-in tournament.
I smell a beatdown coming.
Utah -20.5 +250 vs Lakers
We need 7 points in the 4th
Jazz had an 18 point lead but now Lakers hitting every shot and it's down to 10 with 5.5 min remaining. Not good.
Couldn't quite pull away into a blowout.
Had another shot. Up 18 with 2 min left & the ball. Nope. Steal & 3 hit, that's that.
Oh well. These are +250 for a reason.

So where is your buddy, LeBron? Can’t travel with the team and get treatment like the other guys on IR? Filming a commercial?
You think LeBron will play another game this year now that the writing is on the wall? Prolly not. My hero
I skimmed that Athletic article that chronicals the smoking rubble that results from LeBron joining a given team. Fun romp.
Kobe>LeBron just to name one of many such players better than the self proclaimed GOAT

There is suddenly so much 80’s/90’s Lakers Celtics stuff out there. ESPN has a new multipart series.
Now I see promos for a Hulu series about the old Lakers. Unfortunately, I saw it was produced by Jeannie Buss so I’m concerned it’s just a cheesy infomercial.
The game was so real back then. Jerry West was so scarred emotionally from losing to the Celtics that he refused to travel as an executive to watch Lakers Celtics in Boston. The man bled for the competition and the sport. These days the opponents fondle each others balls pre and post game and make dinner dates.
LeBron is the perfect faggot for his times. He brings shame to the Lakers legacy
Hockey is a sport where the athletes hate their opponents enough to knock their teeth out in a fight during play. Fucks are given.
I just heard a story about a player on the visiting team getting involved in a collision on the ice. The player bit though his own tongue. He could put his finger through it. So he skates off. He needs the doctor from the home team to sew it up. The player is pissed that the doctor is dragging his feet to keep this star player from returning. Well, he gets sewed up and does indeed return to play.
This player is on a liquid diet while he’s healing yet still suits up each game. You listening LeBron? That kind of commitment to competition is why I quit the NBA and you.

The Can’t-Lose Betting Strategy That’s Taking the Gamble Out of Sports Gambling
Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel, and others have been handing out untold millions in sign-up bonuses. Coupon-clipping types are playing them against each other to make risk-free bets.

Money for nothing. Betting for free.
Lakers game & season possible choke atm.
For those of you who are cutting coupons I have a 50% off on S Im. He’s in the 37-1 neighborhood on true exchanges. I’ve seen some locals hanging him at 75-1. He’s got a half decent shot to win, far from 75-1.
I just got SW Kim at 95-1 - he should be 50-1 tops.
Other players who you can get a deal on who also have a legit shot to win are Fitzgerald, Lowry & Neimann
Smith going off at 14-1 - hope you all were able to get in.
If JT or Koepka win this week half the locals that take golf action will have to close up shop.0
I posted this in another thread but the move to legalized sites in Ontario brought up an odd situation.
Sites were not allowed to have any single bets open. No futures, no games, nadda.
Bets, futures were refunded if in a losing position or cashed out at whatever value the site deemed fair.
IE> if you bet on Florida to win their division you likely got pretty close to 90% of the winning bet.
I do wonder how much money the books had to eat on losing futures. Bets on next year's NFL might not affect them that much but there has to be tons of losing NHL/NBA futures that people are now receiving back as refunds.
Hey Jeff Dime,
Lydia Ko says to take her in the Lotte Championship scheduled for next week, she always does well in Hawaii.
I guess she's skipping the LA tournament later this month.
Tournament has been top notch as usual. Duke NC game an instant classic lead changing hands over and over again. Good run Coach K they had a couple close calls before the Final 4. NC has answered the bell every time and beat a handful of top 20 teams to get here. Love, Mannek, Bacon all playing great and free rolling to be here. KU kept winning in the Big 12 Tourney and every round before their studs got it going. Well the last 2 games they have found it and are playing their best ball. Lets close with a winner.
Kansas -2 1st half, Kansas under 71.5, Kansas -200 ML, Kansas -4 . Its been a good tourney, we gambling last game.
Small plays on Leafs +130, and under 6.5 -115 only cause the number looked decent. Hockey gurus lets start pahticipating, I have no clue. Is there better info at stock site?(whats url)
Baseball on deck who's excited?
