BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What a **** sucking bad beat that giants game was. I had carolina +3.5, and the giants are down 8 with like 3 minutes left.. so they have to 1) score a touchdown 2) convert the 2 point conversion 3) score a touchdown in over time ( which is like a 20-1 shot). I want to kill a nun. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 The early consensus data for this weekends games has many, many people picking against the favorites. I'm doing a head to head picks wager with a friend of mine, and I've never picked so many favorites all year. I'll check the data again on Saturday, and make sure I still like my picks, but I'm really shocked the way the picks are lining up so far. Weird week. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 What do you guys think most people are betting on the LA and Boston game? Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 According to the Vegas Insider, most people are pounding the Celtics as the underdog. 77% right now. Does that mean it would be good to bet the lakers? Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean it would be good to bet the lakers?yes. Very much so. It's rare to see an underdog with a majority of the gets, much less a huge majority like 77-23. If vegas was interested in making the betting even, the Celtics would be the favorite. Obviously they are not, take the lakers. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Sorry for the dumb questions.But Lakers on the Moneyline or Lakers -2 Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Sorry for the dumb questions.But Lakers on the Moneyline or Lakers -2In theory, it really shouldn't matter. I would probably give the 2 rather than the money line, but it's a personal preference thing. where are you getting your data from, about the wagering, btw? The site I use has it only a 55-44 celtic advatage ( which is still huge for an underdog, but not as shocking as the 77-23) Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Bet made. LOL.This is my first ever bet, lol.1 U on LA -2GLhttp://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/betti...25-08/time/170077% now for the Celtics!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I looked at the spread and even though the % of the public betting the Celtics went up, the line went more towards the Lakers. So I'm feeling better about it. I also bet the under as of the five games today, this game had the most betting the over 66%. Which I think is highly inflated due to the two teams playing.Under at 200.5 Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Also bet the Washington +15.5 against the Cavs. 68% betting on the Cavs to cover. Ugh, I don't feel good betting against Lebron and supporting the Wiz, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 LOL, I know it's a small sample size, but ship it!!! Pau Gasol!!!Hit both bets, the under and the Lakers -2!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Every year I take $100 and attempt to parlay all 11 playoff games. My rule is that I must keep letting it all ride, no matter what. No expectations, all I'm looking to do is make an exciting run. I've been doing this for 5 or 6 years and I've made it to the second week 3 times, and the last game on Sunday of the second week once. I haven't placed them yet, but this week I'm going with:Atlanta -2San Diego +1Baltimore -3Minnesota +3 Link to post Share on other sites
