NBA SUN 031509 early thoughts - value hunting

The Ides of March is upon us and Sunday is a perfect day to celebrate the roots of our passion tracing back to the times when real warriors battled to their deaths at The Colosseum.  We no longer wager goats and other livestock on the outcome of death matches but we carry on the tradition proudly.  On this day 2053 years ago, the mighty Caesar met his fate.  Today, we have come a long way from the men of steel drawing blood to men in shorts bouncing a ball and attempting to place it through a cylindrical piece of iron.

With that...I'm pre-capping Sundays games since Saturday's board looks like crap.  I have a buy-in number I want to run by some of you cappers out there.  Any chance Indiana at Toronto opens @218?  

11 games on the board tomorrow and I'll update this as I think there may be some value for us.

Got your PM bro...will do!!!

03/14/09 12:39PM
The craptors are due for an under and a win ats. toronto will come out around 213 that is my guess.

utah under pick does show some promise. Both teams with 2 days rest come out slow.

03/14/09 01:25PM
Ax whats your pick Bro....my fault if you took that game yesterday Brotha...turned out the wrong way....and i want to thank you for that Atl under game i tailed you all the way on that....BOL BRO
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 01:32PM

No problem brother...I don't blame any of my action on anyone.  If I lose a game, it's because I played it.  I'm glad we got to cash in on that ATL game...I like games like that...winner all the way.  Good luck with you card today pal.  
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 01:35PM

I played the UTA/MIA under posted on my blog...strictly for action...I get that way sometimes Turc.  Better to address the problem head on than keep it bottled up inside.  It's a battle everyday when you're a gambler, it's the ones that keep it under control that turn a profit...I've been very good this season...only a few out of control days...BOL with you plays tonight Turc...they look solid!  
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 01:56PM
MM,

I see the Clips scoring mid 90's TOPS...the problem is what will DEN go off for?  If Denver goes for 110, your action is already shot.  Add the potential gabage at the end of every NBA game and this becomes a very TIGHT number...IMHO.  GL bro...I'm not going to force anything today for full Units.  It may be an action Saturday for me at 1/20U, just like throwing money away at the  but enjoying the food and drinks.

BOL
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 01:57PM

Hank, it looks like you have company...MM was saying the same thing...
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 01:58PM
Guys...this is for Sunday's board....
Crockie says:
03/14/09 02:33PM
Atlanta-Portland / Detroit-Memphis / Milwaukee-Boston

waiting for the lines. perhaps one of them looks good for an under
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 02:37PM
Reading my mind on the POR/ATL game Crockie.  If this was in POR, we'd have a great chance of seeing 190 but it looks like it's going to be significantly lower in ATL.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 190 but this one's is going to open in the mid 180's or a little higher which means I'm probably not buying.
BOOGIEMAN80 says:
03/14/09 02:39PM
keep doing your thing bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crockie says:
03/14/09 02:44PM


Would be great if it opens @ 190. But I don't think so. Like you said: 180-185
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 02:44PM
MEM/DET is also another good one to keep an eyeball on.  I'm in fantasy world if I think for a second I could possibly buy this thing @191 but that's where it would have to be for me to consider it.  The books are going to come out with a number nowhere near this.  What we do have going for us is that DET is a much different team and I'm hoping the books think the public is thinking more scoring than what we saw for most of the season.  Let's hope.

great intro
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:12PM

LMAO...I'm sure there are a few people out there that doesn't think this is too funny.  No offense fellas...all in good fun.  
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:15PM

I'm hoping but I think you are closer with your first set of numbers.  Hey, they might just throw us a bone for the early game!
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:16PM

may be the smartest play today Joe...I haven't locked into anything yet...
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 02:55PM
This BOS/MIL game must be giving the books fits right now...I have no idea where this number is going to land.  I'm thinking there's some change in the way Boston has played lately.  The absence of KG is making its impact on how Boston plays against the totals number.  I'm a half-dumb assed homer stupid enough to go blind over on this one.   LOL, did I just say that?  This is what I get for trying to cap my hometown team.   When will I ever learn?

Be back in a bit with some more buy-in numbers.
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 02:45PM

thanks brother...and you do the same...you've been on a roll!  
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:18PM

How the hell can you sleep with all the action you have?  Time to move to America Crockie, that's it man...time to move stateside!  
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:19PM
no sweat Joe 
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:19PM

Appreciate that timemaster 
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:22PM

Ouch, don't I know that feeling?  I know you've been seeing the same thing as me...good value on the over with this team until KG gets back.  Gool luck Homie   
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:27PM

Thanks Brother, gamblers need a holiday too...some prefer the Super Bowl while others love the orgy they call March Madness...I like to take it back old school when winning meant dying at a later day...isn't that what 90% of gamblers do?  There are only about 10% or less really turning  a profit in this business.  It's so much like the Gladiators..."Winning simply means dying at a later day"


axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:30PM

Thanks Crockie...While this doesn't grab me by the...they're both viable options.  Will have to wait on the rest I guess.  Thank you sir
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 02:57PM
Crockie, I know you're halfway around the world but I think we've caught a ride on the same wavelenght here!!  I should have some more thoughts before it's time for you to go to bed.  
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:34PM
Lines slowly coming in...damn, that MEM/DET number looks low @ 183.5...
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:39PM
Dallas at L.A. Lakers @211.5 looks interesting.  Maybe the public moves this up a bit since it's Sunday.  Board's not looking half bad so far.  There seems to be value floating around.  Not really anything to jump on overnight but I think we can find a play or two when the dust settles.
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:47PM
If the Utah at Orlando number is anywhere near 202, this has the potential of being the UOD.  I'll leave it at that until the numbers come out and I can do some real capping...
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 05:56PM
what happens when two teams with a combined record of 29-102 meet?

run it with SDQL and what you thought will be supported by the numbers!!!
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 06:06PM
Anyone want to throw out a number for Phoenix at Golden State?  I actually have a lean for the side on this one.  Back to the totals:

last few in GS

227.5
234.5
229
224.5
216.5

Anyone looking at this opening around 226.5+?
Crockie says:
03/14/09 05:31PM
You're welcome I'm going to bed now. Good night
Crockie says:
03/14/09 05:24PM
Ax I have some lines from Sunday for you
Crockie says:
03/14/09 05:25PM
Boston @ Milwaukee 199
Portland @ Atlanta 187
Crockie says:
03/14/09 02:52PM


yes you're right. detroit is a different team. did you see detroit-toronto yesterday? the line was 193.5, the game went 194 but this after the overtime... i thought this game would go over 194 before gametime. but it would have been a big under when there was no overtime. i hope the books will set here a higher total.
Crockie says:
03/14/09 02:54PM


okay gl with this. i played the under
Crockie says:
03/14/09 02:55PM
i like to play over at the moment ax. yesterday i went 3-1 with my totals. the teams like to score at the moment.
Crockie says:
03/14/09 02:56PM
my over @ miami-utah looks very good at the moment
Crockie says:
03/14/09 03:08PM


yes that's right and i'm happy about it

this is what i don't like i have to take my bets bevore i go to sleep. i cannot watch any game cause they are in the night. when i wake up the first thing i do: watch the scores
bostonsbetter says:
03/14/09 04:28PM

Hey ax,

I hear ya with the hometown thing... I played 6 plays last night. Went 4-2. The 2 were boston under and boston -12.5. O well...

Anyway, I like the blind over call as well... Boston definetly playing a different game right now.

FlippaCoin says:
03/14/09 03:01PM


I was hoping to win 2 goats and cow, tonight. 
That's all good, I can wait. 

FlippaCoin says:
03/14/09 06:09PM


Why because they're vegans? 
No offense vegan-ians,
Was only joking, I play with monopoly money. 

I'm just happy I was able to climb back out of the hole that I fell into the other day by playing that back and forth CBB, sitting around for 5 hours...reading through stupid chatter just to end up losing.
Wasted a whole day. 
No one to blame but myself.  
We live, we learn.
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 06:12PM

This one looks low but I had an estimated line of 184.5-186.5. That will probably keep me away from this one unless I don't like any other games and I see something in the numbers or trends here when I cap it.
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 06:14PM

I haven't looked at this one yet but I will right now and give you my guess
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 03:07PM
I think we will see a 212-214 line for Pacers/Raptors. Maybe it will be inflated by a few points and we could see a  216-218 since the Raptors have went over in 8 straight.
Joe_Vienna says:
03/14/09 03:07PM
no good under plays today in my oppionion .. but if there was a gun involved I would say NO @ CHI!
SAS @ HOU also looks good but I won't play any of this!



BOL
Joe

Sorry! Didn't noticed this thread is for sunday!!!


Hustler99 says:
03/14/09 02:47PM
char and over.  Played it as a 5pt teaser!!!
I think it could hit 200+
WizrduvOdz says:
03/15/09 12:00AM
I like Mil +6.5

 

Boston is weak 1st game on road after home win (close one against Mem)

Mil 0-6 ats streak

No Garnett, no Redd, Big Baby hurting.......sounds like inside game for Mil.....

 

Any thought, Ax?  or anyone else?

ChuyenTinhDenDo says:
03/15/09 02:40AM
I like WAS and NJ (1st Half)
Gambleholic says:
03/15/09 06:58AM
Hey Proguy..

 

Do you really think Jazz/Mia will be tired?  They came off 3 day rest before yesterdays game, and would have the whole afternoon to recoup.  Miami's game is early, but Utahs is later.

Gambleholic says:
03/15/09 12:13AM
JCY, Ax, anyone else considering the GSW unders.

 

You all have some

 

 

 

Gambleholic says:
03/14/09 11:01PM
I agree, the GS/PHO game will be released in the 230s. I am going to guess 233-235.

 

 

Bruuuuce78 says:
03/15/09 12:51AM

I hit my under for the Denver game but..........

 

Bruuuuce had the Miami/Utah Under.................only missed by like 70 but shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt

 

I think the Knicks/Cleveland total will be above 200........I dont think there is any value in any Knicks game total, we might as well wipe them off the board............

Look forward to doing some under research tomorrow morning.........later bro

madashman says:
03/15/09 10:43AM
Utah/Orlando is 205.5 at Bookmaker.  This looks like the best play on the board.  I think I'll take some small action on Boston/Milwaukee, just don't see how these teams take it into the 200's.
Fathomable says:
03/14/09 07:55PM
i got 234-236 on the pho/gs game        
Fathomable says:
03/15/09 11:02AM
looking at sac/was at 210
Fathomable says:
03/15/09 11:04AM
trends are against it but i think they set this line high
Fathomable says:
03/15/09 10:52AM
lol @243 for the pho game
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 11:32AM
Hey guys, I want to let you know I'll be doing the updates of this on the forum thread only and not the blog. weird how the thread updates the blog but not vice versa. peace
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 08:51PM
I think this PHO/GS is the highest number I've come up with this season: 240. WOW
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 11:07PM
I'm tired of waiting.  Maybe I started my pre-capping routine too early but I'm ready!  Bring it!
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 06:21PM

Yep JCW...looks low and actually has a chance to still go under...not good for value shoppers....
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 06:22PM

You got a preference JCW?  O / U?
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 06:20PM

Still LMAO bro...I'm saying maybe there are still people betting goats and livestock.    Man, I know I'm weak @ CBB cause I can't stick to one conference.  I jump around like a mad man and have no idea what the hell to do when the numbers come out.  That's why I stick to the NBA, I least I know a little bit about the league.

I'm up over 30 Units for the season and I can't complain...but it's wearing on me...I'm not really a big fan of the NBA (shocker!!!) I'm counting the hours to opening day!
axpiota59 says:
03/14/09 07:39PM

Thanks JCW...I know everyone is busy with so many CBB games on tap.  I appreciate it!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:58AM

Will do and thanks for stopping by.  If you have something to share, we'd love to hear it!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:40AM

Nice  that NOH/CHI was money...I saw that was Chump's POD but that OKC/PHO I was thinking was going to be one of those.  Damn, the under covered by 30+.  Gotta find one of those for Sunday...one that covers the under by at least 20 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 01:04AM

LOL I had the under on that game also...posted play on my blog.  Wow, if you're going to lose a play, that's how you do it.  Congrats on the under on DEN though 

Bruce, I don't recall even listing them on this thread.  I agree with you, there's absolutely no value on the O/U of that game.  Got a few I'm eyeballing.  We'll find a good one by mid-morning.  'night bro!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 01:07AM

KB, I'm hoping that by the time this game rolls around, I've already been to the window and will have absolutely no need to touch this game! 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 01:15AM

Hey Phil_Riv, good to see you bud.  Did you happen to see my earlier post on this matchup?  These are very, very.......very bad teams.  Still waiting on the numbers but just be careful with this game.  If you don't normally play SAC totals, this may not be the game to start.  I'm still shopping myself...I know there won't be any major movements tonight but I can dream...BOL pal.  Let us know when you find that gem!  
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 01:33AM

Interesting...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:19AM

I know I said it may be a good idea to go the blind over in this matchup but looking at the situation you just mention:

Boston's 1st game on the road after a home win this season
O/U 2-10 with the avg number @ 190 and the under covers nearly by 8 points.  Current line is 199...that's not a bad trend

As for the side: C's are 5-7 ATS in this spot.

Now looking at this angle from the Bucks point of view:

O/U 8-6 with the avg about 195 and covers the over by about 6.  this is around the current number.

ATS: 7-7
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:20AM

just an option but I personally don't think I'll ever get to considering the game since there are a few before that.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:21AM

Thanks for this JCW...I'm going to see if I'm anywhere near the rest of your numbers
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:23AM

that's the only problem with no action tonight...just a bit anxious...things are shaping up though, got some real good number crunching in tonight.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:27AM

I wonder how many people cashed in on the under in this one.  I can't believe PHO also covered...I may just stay away from any PHO action for the rest of the season.  I can't cap this team 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:43AM

eyeballing that play also, hoping for a public bump
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:47AM

I'm going to run some more numbers when they finally publish some lines...hate this waiting game!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:49AM

 me too pal...hoping for a better option.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:50AM

How about the Boston side Crockie?
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:52AM

I wish we had some numbers to go on.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:53AM

Good eye PnP...I like the former better than the latter.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 03:11AM

Thanks pal...was looking for confirmation on my 1/20U homer play. 

Catch y'all in a few...gotta get some sleep!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 01:56AM
boss, I called this game my possible UOD, post #50...

Man, you're making me feel old...you going to start talking about Hogan's Heroes and F-Troop next boss?  I did love Blood, Sweat and Tears!  
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:05AM
JCW, if you're interested in my buy-in numbers, just add minimum 3 possession (7 points) to any of those numbers.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:20AM

Excellent thank you.  Now I have some finishing work.  I love the destruction part.  Now she's got plans for the color, blah, blah...LOL  Got about 2 days left.

axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:23AM

really boss?  I'm more with Bruce on this one...just 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 02:30AM

Let's do that Brother!
jlippens says:
03/15/09 11:32AM
Fathomable: you are right when you say the trends are against it. When two terrible teams play each other the overwhelming trend is for games to go OVER the total. Both get to play schoolyard ball against each other with no defense in a "competitive" game.

Dichotomy can be found in a general trend of two elite teams facing off tending to go UNDER the total.

It's a simple and effective general trend to follow. I don't play many overs, but this is going to be one of them.
Crockie says:
03/15/09 10:57AM


yeah this line is unbelievable... i took the under
Crockie says:
03/15/09 02:39AM
Ax I like the under @ Boston-Milwaukee. Yes Boston is a different team without KG. I think they will score 100 points. But will the Bucks also score 100 points? I don't think so. I think Boston will keep them less than 90 points.
Crockie says:
03/15/09 03:08AM


Hmmmm difficult... I think the Celtics will win this game. But will they cover these 6.5 points - I don't know Perhaps I'll play Celtics 1 half.
Crockie says:
03/15/09 10:48AM


I like Boston/Milwaukee
Crockie says:
03/15/09 10:41AM
lines are out!
FlippaCoin says:
03/14/09 11:21PM
Still waiting on three more totals for tomorrow.
You might even like some of those better.

Drink up, rest up, enjoy your evening.
Tomorrow will be a great day, I can feel it.

Here is what I came up with when I predicted Sunday's lines lines:
Pacers/Raptors- 213
Blazers/Hawks- 186.5
Heat/76ers- 197
Celtics/Bucks- Not Capping
Grizz/Pistons 185.5
Mavs/Lakers 209.5
Knicks/Cavs 196
Jazz/Magic 198.5
Kings/Wizards 206
Suns/Warriors 230
Nets/Clips 203.5
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 11:09PM
The higher the number the better I'm really starting to like the possibility of playing the under.
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 07:45PM

I just hate when there isn't a good NBA card it forces me over to the college side(gotta have some action ) where I'm not doing near as well as I am in the league
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 06:20PM
I came up with 229-231
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 06:26PM

I haven't looked into it yet. I spent most of my free time today capping the NCAA. The only thing I have done so far today for tomorrow is my estimated lines.
JCWhy83 says:
03/14/09 06:36PM
I had 208.5-210.5 for the Mavs/Lakers. If the public move the line up another point this could be one the first games I look to cap. Leaning under after first glance.
JCWhy83 says:
03/15/09 03:11AM
I have never bet a 1H in a basketball game but I'm thinking about the Blazers/Hawks. What peaks my interest here is Portland playing a very good Hawks D at 10:05am their time. I don't think I'll pull the trigger here but something I'll watch closely.
JCWhy83 says:
03/15/09 02:33AM
After I have looked at the Knicks game closer. I don't think I factored the pace in correctly in my earlier projection but I still only have it at 202. If it opens at something in the 208-210 range it will be on my short list 
JCWhy83 says:
03/15/09 01:04AM
I want to see the Heat, Knicks and Suns lines 
JCWhy83 says:
03/15/09 01:56AM

I'm starting to cap the games for my number. The first game I did Pacers/Raptors I got 204
JCWhy83 says:
03/15/09 01:58AM
I made a mistake. 210 is my number for that game
t20boss says:
03/15/09 02:06AM

Hadn't scrolled all the way back thru this thread - now I see your earlier post - Like this one and agree w/JCW on NY/Clev as a possibility as well.

How'd that wall removal project come out ? 

 

t20boss says:
03/15/09 01:51AM
Ax, how do you see the Jazz/Magic game ? I'm seeing it as a good possibility for under value myself - capped it at around 192.

 

Ides of March ... great sound called 'Vehicle" back in the day right ? Sound kinda like Blood Sweat and Tears with the horn section and all...  

proguy747 says:

The problem with capping the jazz  and heat tommorrow will be that everyone knows they are tired.  That will spell trouble on the defensive end of those teams and opposing coaches should try to have an up tempo game.   With them both being on the road it will be hard to dictate the pace.   Not sure if those numbers will be overs or unders on the fact that each team could get blown out.  Too much to think about.

It is time to go to bed, but I think the lakers play is the pod based on numbers.   However maybe someone knows more about the lakers clinching playoff and how phil will play the starters.  my guess is phil always keeps the pedal to the medal.  see you guys in the morning.

03/15/09 03:43AM
Hey Ax, been following your thread the past week.  You are great at what you do, and have got me very interested in unders now.  I really like Por/Atl tomorrow. I came up with 181 give or take a point and was suprise to see you there too.  I decided to pull the trigger on it tonight.  GL with your pick. 
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 02:44AM
Based on your numbers Ax, are POR-ATL and DAL-LAL in the mix for POD? The Laker total is almost guaranteed to rise tomorrow too I would say.
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/14/09 11:19PM
It might go under.....cause GS is gonna blow them out of the water if PHX play tomorrow night like they did in the first half against the Thunder!
Philip_Rivers says:
03/15/09 02:28AM

Good call Ax...I agree...There's better value out there.  Let's get that POD!
Philip_Rivers says:
03/15/09 01:04AM
Sup Ax,

Good to see you on the boards again.  I'm looking at the Sac/Was game.  I see one these teams scoring in the 100's and one in the 90's. So if a number over 200 opens up, I would consider this.  I don't really play Sac game totals though.  I'm just like you today...little action = analyzing a lot of games for tomorrow. 

BOL pal!

I only took 2 NBA games tonight,  in both the Chi-NO under and OK-Pho under, nervous about both until the half in each

03/15/09 12:46AM
If you find one let me know, I'd love another game where I can be certain by the half.... btw i've been reading your threads since i joined a week ago and have already learned alot, thanks ax

The LA Clippers have lost their last 7 games averaging 90.8 points per game ... sooo the under 203 1/2 looks inviting since NJ hasn't scored 114 points in a game since their home win over Denver back in the beginning of February when all the players sampled Five-Hour Energy drinks before the game !!!

AXP...what do you think about a 6 point teaser for utah-orl and the lakers? It would be around -165,but you get 6 "free" points since all the lines are tumbling under.I know you have to win both games,but isn't this better than buying the utah-orl game up from 202 to 205.5? Buying 3.5 points for 1 game  would be -180 juice.I guess what i am trying to say is.....is it better to buy points and have to win 1 game,or get a 6 point cushion,but have to win both?
tim0307 says:
03/15/09 03:19PM

Im not seeing alot of under stuff I like, Im gonna look some more.....
Bruuuuce78 says:
03/15/09 12:59PM
After further review, I think there I great value with the Lakers game under..........I personally thought the total should have been 205.............have a steady line with alot of OVER action............just something to look at....
Bruuuuce78 says:
03/15/09 12:59PM
i bought it just now at 211
Bruuuuce78 says:
03/15/09 12:43PM
Is there any verdict yet AX?
Bruuuuce78 says:
03/15/09 01:10PM

 

 

Im happy at 211...........Im not alarmed by the upwards movement........there still is going to be alot of over action at 211.5..........

Ole_Gunslinger says:
03/15/09 01:08PM


You are right about that PHI team and their less effort def. But I also take into account, that bookmakers set the spread at 7.5 like they don't expect a close game with lots of fouls at the end - maybe no blowout, but an exhausted, less competitive MIA team.

Think I'll give it a shot.

BOL to us
Ole_Gunslinger says:
03/15/09 12:50PM
Hey Ax, I'm already with you on UTA/ORL but I'll stay away from the PHO/GSW under even @ 244

I also like a game which seems to fly under the radar. I'm talking about MIA/PHI with the line set @ 197. The average total in previous meetings this season was 185. Okay, recently both teams put some decent numbers on the board, but with MIA coming from that 3OT game with tired legs and PHI dictating their pace do you expect to see that many points?
Forty7 says:
03/15/09 12:16PM
I am not sure what your play is but if you think the GSW PS is safe i do not.  Everyone thinks so but this could go very high with several 40 point quarters....I am not saying anything other than ...
CoFred says:
03/15/09 12:14PM
Ax, did you lock in a full unit on the Utah/Orlando under?
CoFred says:
03/15/09 12:30PM
Bodog doesn't have lines posted for the Utah/Orlando or Sacremento/Washington games. They say its due to injuries and stuff....Idiots
CoFred says:
03/15/09 01:04PM
Well it's the first book I started with and I haven't had any problems with deposits or payouts. I get frustrated with it sometimes because it doesn't have all the options I would like and they post everything so late. I honestly think that they wait and see if anything gets pounded when it opens so they can avoid losses but who knows. Anybody have any suggestions for an online book for US players?  Oh, and one that has lots of soccer
CoFred says:
03/15/09 03:08PM
Ever any problems with Bookmaker?
CoFred says:
03/15/09 02:42PM
After my third call about the lines, they tell me they sometimes put the lines out late to prevent "syndicate betting."  I need to find a really good book.
CoFred says:
03/15/09 03:03PM
I know you're joking Ax. I just wish I could've gotten the same number as you guys. Because if I get it at 202, It'll be 203 and I'll lose and everyone else will win.

Ax, what book do you use?
CoFred says:
03/15/09 01:40PM
See, now Bodog can open it at 203.5 and not worry about the good cappers who bought this at 205 or 206. 

Bodog
CoFred says:
03/15/09 02:28PM
I have to wait until 4pm est for Bodog to post the lines to that game and the Sacremento game. I hate when they do this to games I wanna bet.

Looks like you've already read my thoughts sir.  I'm passing on the big number although the trends support the play under and yes I also like the LAL play but I already have the UTA/ORL which is shaping up to be the UOD...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:15PM

DAL/LAL would likely be my personal 2nd choice...I just can't believe this 244.5 number though....

I ran the numbers on UTA this year on the 5th of 5 on the road.  O/U 2-2 (avg line 194.6) and the under covers by about 2.5

couple that with ORL dictating at home and their tendancy towards the lower numbers...I have a heavy learn on this to go under...IMHO

run this:

team=Jazz and p:site=away and pp:site=away and ppp:site=away and pppp:site=away and season=2008
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 11:53AM

That's the biggest complaint I have about this forum from many readers...No picks ...what we do here is throw out some possibilities for the Under of the day.  We go back and forth with information and you will start to get a sense of where we all stand on one game...I do post a POD on WBA's forum .  
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 11:55AM

Lakers number dropping...say it isn't so.  Losing value...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 11:38AM
Good morning everyone...give me a chance to catch up.  you must know by now from all of last night's postings which number I jumped on.  From what I've seen on the board this morning, it was a no brainer.  Don't look to much into the 3OT game.  These guys are pros.  Remember the Q's and Huskies going 6 then the very next night the Orange took it into OT again?  It wasn't till last night that the legs finally gave in and they were probably going to lose that game anyway.
IMHO, this is the game with the most O/U value on the board.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 11:59AM

I haven't seen your card yet Crockie...are you locked on this?  I think BOS drops a bunch on these guys...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:01PM

I thought I was nuts when I projected this number @ 240...and the books went even higher...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:07PM

GL Crockie  ...looks like a pass for me on this.  I know that since 1996, there's never been a total set this high.  the total has only been over 235 9X since 1996 and the O/U is 2-5-2

looks like a good play
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:09PM

excellent point jlipp, 29-102 combined...if I were to play the over today...i believe i couldn't turn this one down...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 01:05PM

axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:55PM

Slinger...yeah bro, it's exactly those recent numbers that throws me off.  Not just Miami's but the PHI defense also giving up a little more lately.  If PHI dictates and stays true to form at home like they've been doing most of the season and discarding some of both team's recent play, this doesn't get out of the 180's.  I just can't pull the trigger on this though.  I wish you luck and will be rooting for this to go under!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 12:56PM

I'm not sure what this trend is Highside but you had me going for a second though.  I was racking my brain then realized you're on the left coast, LOL, of course I don't have many morning games on the east coast.  I used that same theory for yesterday's early game with UTA/MIA...only missed that under by about 70

I moved the lines when I bet 50 big ones on both the UTA and LAL games accross 10 books.  geez, I didn't think putting $10 all over the place would have this effect...

One thing about NY is that they consistently give up about 108-109...this is what worries me.  CLE can just blow up.  You are correct about their defense though...they are the best defense in the league after all.  I think CLE's last road trip is skewing the numbers a bit.  If they play true to form, they are DD better by the half.  Hope this helps pal...just my humble opinion.  GL

I am going to be completely honest with you.  I neither buy points nor do I tease.  It's just my personal philosophy and the mathematics behind the whole advantage the house already has on all of us.  I don't believe that creating artificial values reflects the true values naturally created by the economy of the board.  This is only one person's opinion but I do wish you the very best. 
axpiota59 says:

caveat, there are times when a team has built up a big lead and they become content to trade baskets the rest of the game.  Up by 15 1H and trade baskets the rest of the way is a dangerous scenario for us unders players.  GL Proguy

Ax do you have opinions to the game Clippers @ Nets? The line opened @ 20.5 and is now down to 200.5. one of my bookmakers has it still at 205. do you recommend this game for an under?
Crockie says:
03/15/09 02:56PM
Wow looks like the first 5 games go all under
Crockie says:
03/15/09 02:58PM
okay thanks Ax
Crockie says:
03/15/09 03:10PM
CoFred write me a pm. I have a booksmaker who has it still at 205
Crockie says:
03/15/09 03:10PM


good question i don't know
Crockie says:
03/15/09 11:41AM


@ 244 now
Crockie says:
03/15/09 12:27PM
If you jump with me on the GS under I wish us the best I think the game will end  235-240. This is the only game where I think: under or no play. And this doesn't happen so often
Crockie says:
03/15/09 12:11PM


thanks, hope i'm not wrong with this
Crockie says:
03/15/09 12:04PM


yes i have. i will post my plays in a few moments

 at the lakers and magic lines dropping before I made a decision. 
JCWhy83 says:
03/15/09 02:15PM
Locked in with the Jazz/Magic 203.5 and Knicks/Cavs 211
t20boss says:
03/15/09 01:41PM

I agree -  I capped this game in the 192-195 range, so considering the 3 possession rule, 203.5 is still a good number IMO....

t20boss says:
03/15/09 01:26PM
Jazz game down from 205.5 to 204 at BetUS ... oh oh
t20boss says:
03/15/09 01:32PM

Gotta wonder if someone is injured or something, P N P ?

t20boss says:
03/15/09 11:40AM
Morning, Ax - now that we actually have some lines to reference, I'm sticking to my pick w/Jazz/Orl under 205 as the best value out there IMO, with GS/Phx under 243 a close 2nd. Seems like more than a few like LAL under as well. Thoughts ?
MisterMoss says:
03/15/09 01:02PM
My book moved the Orlando total to 206 already
proguy747 says:
03/15/09 12:11PM
a few picks for you .    atlanta -4  under 189.

lakers under 212.     

proguy747 says:
03/15/09 01:24PM

big money just shifted orlando down to 203.5. 

 

Chump clipps at 202.5 at my book.  Still a value?

proguy747 says:
03/15/09 03:11PM
Guys I mentioned the raptors were due for a win and an under. anybody have the ba**s to play them?  I did
proguy747 says:
03/15/09 03:09PM
i think the cleveland has value.   the cavs will go off but at home they will go up early and put on the cruise control.  the knicks do not have an inside game that will give the cavs trouble.  I believe this game will be over early with cavs dominating d the first half.
proguy747 says:
03/15/09 03:20PM
fire baby 4-0   I am so happy I have been getting killed by the hook.  Ax if your jazz pick hits for me PM me your address and I will send you a nice filet from the best butcher In orange county california.  Thanks for the isight ax you are the man.       Can you tell I am happy? 
JJ802 says:
03/15/09 03:19PM
hey ax, the under on the por/atl game hit, hopefully you got a piece of that action. keep up the good work.  still looking into the orl/utah game. 
mistahfob says:
03/15/09 01:36PM
yea it was weird.. the ORL totals line suddenly dipped to 203.5 right after i got it at 206
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 01:41PM


That is exactly what I was doing.

BOL with the play, ax! Time will tell if I will be on it as well.
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 01:24PM
WTF UTA-ORL just dropped to 203.5. What in the hell is going on with the totals today???
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 01:13PM


Pinnacle.

DAL-LAL took a big hit though.....down to 209.5 now.
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 01:30PM
As soon as it dropped slightly I was gonna buy. But how does one predict a 2.5 point drop???!!!
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 01:50PM


Tell me about it! My stomach hurts right now, although maybe it is because I haven`t had lunch yet either, haha.

Might as well dub today ``Sharp Sunday``
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 12:59PM
I agree with Chump, LAC has had a lot of trouble scoring lately.

Also, the UTA-ORL total has rose to 206 now Do I take it now or wait and see how it moves?
Philip_Rivers says:
03/15/09 01:03PM
Me too..my book has Utah/Orl at 206.
Philip_Rivers says:
03/15/09 12:12PM
Ax, I'm locked and loaded on the Utah/Orl game.  My book had it at 205.  BOL to all of us. 
jim844 says:
03/15/09 12:15PM


yea i took your advice on the UOD and locked in ORL/UTA
love your picks and the discussion you facilitate
helps us novice's get a handle on how to approach games to be capping ourselves
keep em coming!
jim844 says:
03/15/09 11:48AM
ax you liking the utah/orl under and the pho under ?

eagle123 says:
03/15/09 02:35PM
UTA/ORL down to 203.5 on my book
XhuegoX says:
03/15/09 04:49PM
Yo ax, I just noticed the suns/warriors line, 244 ...wow thats a huge number, are they serious???? i might play the under just because that number is so funny...so 120-121 the under will hit

AX

 

Every Game today has gone under with two to go.  Do you think N.J.  should go over now?

highside107 says:
03/15/09 08:50PM
thanks for the pick, ax
highside107 says:
03/15/09 05:49PM

So is this total (GS/PHX) a NO play for you, ax?
highside107 says:
03/15/09 06:00PM

Got it. The thing with ANY GS/PHX total is that you KNOW you probably have at least 1-3 points of value here as the oddsmakers are automatically going to inflate this line regardless, making the "under" attractive.  The flip side of the coin is that these are such shitty teams (especially on D) that anything can happen
highside107 says:
03/15/09 03:29PM

ProGuy, where is this best butcher in Orange County you speak of?  I live in Huntington and work in Newport Beach
highside107 says:
03/15/09 04:13PM

Ax has only one POD that you have not missed yet. See post #50
highside107 says:
03/15/09 04:37PM

An "over" from Turc?
highside107 says:
03/15/09 07:16PM

2H total for Utah is pretty much right on the game total (depending on what line you got) of 204
grindstone says:
03/15/09 07:48PM
Hey AX just got in from work ,did you have a play today?? Can I help out with anything.
grindstone says:
03/15/09 08:02PM

 

 

 

Congrats awesome AX let me get that info for you

grindstone says:
03/15/09 08:11PM

PHX/GS   open 242.5     current 244.5

17% over

83% under

 

New Jersey         open 203.5       current 201
 LA Clippers

63% over

37% under

mrod112 says:
03/15/09 08:01PM
ax & turc =read your posts and thanks for the all input but what do yall think of playing new jersey and over and wow that total huh? i been trying to read yall info on that game
trainer4u2 says:
03/15/09 07:17PM



nj/sac? ax walk away from the computer lol
trainer4u2 says:
03/15/09 04:34PM


ax zac is going to play i know it's the clippers but i see know value playing the under here with eric gordon and zac in the line up, they still will play to win and foul
my 2 cents
chrisb02us says:
03/15/09 07:55PM
Hopefully, Orlando keeps its 17 point lead well into the 4th, and Utah pulls their starters, and fold the tent for the night giving us the under.  I also took Orlando -5, and teased it (Orl Even, under 210)

 

chrisb02us says:
03/15/09 08:20PM
I am liking our chances w/ 3:55 left

Granpa says:
03/15/09 08:28PM

That's funny as hell.

Granpa says:
03/15/09 08:37PM

Actually Joe's been quite helpful to several of us regarding CBB the past few days and has proven himself as a solid capper. He's offered me some solid advice and as mentioned earlier, turned me onto you (Champ also) as solid NBA cappers. It's great to finally find a few guys who are interested in helping, listening and conversing as normal people rather than a lot of people here who are more interested in touting their wins and units won. I'll definitely be around from now on.

Thanks!! Granpa

Granpa says:
03/15/09 08:43PM

Joe... Could certainly see as soon as I read through the posts Ax is a class act. Nice to have you both around and look forward to helping each other smash the books.

Granpa says:
03/15/09 08:56PM

As I just told Joe, it's hard to find people who can check their ego at the door while helping others. Just from what I've read today I can see this is a solid following with good people who have good insights. Glad Joe turned me onto to you and everyone else.

Think I'm going to call it a night. GL to you all.

Granpa says:
03/15/09 06:39PM

Most definitely, thanks for the invite.

Granpa says:
03/15/09 04:44PM
Afternoon Ax. Got turned on to your thread from Joe_Shmoe and it seems you really know your stuff. I see you discuss o/u FG, but do you ever look at 1h or 2h bets?

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Granpa

Granpa says:
03/15/09 05:33PM

Thanks for the reply and I'll definitely be checking your thread each day for capping info.

Thanks for the utah under win axp   I bought 3 points to get it where you had it @205.5,but it's all good.A win is a win.I'm sure as word get's out about you,many will start tailing and  posting your picks as theirs.   Immitation is the best form of flattery,or just means there's a whole lot of wannabe's in the world.Continued GL to you!!!

Ax -

Getting through this (at present) 21 pager is like slogging through 'War & Peace' (just kidding) - all good, though - always appreciate reading constructive collaboration.

And to you, good sir

And if Turc returns in this particular thread, a hearty as well...

18,000 hits in one day Great job today.  Got that under in both games (Bos/Mil for me) and got some more for the second half.  Any final thoughts on that NJ/LAC game?  Sorry for asking but can't really go through the last few pages of the thread.

im 2-0 today and thinkin bout pressing my luck with the sac/was game. does this line look bloated to anyone else? i know trends say to run away, but this line seems high to me.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 05:16PM
what do you think of these PnP?

team=Clippers and site=home and rest=0 and season=2008

and

team=Clippers and site=home and 100.*Average(oo:points < o:points@o:team and o:season)<50 and season=2008

first one is Clips at home no rest and second is Clips at home playing bad teams (<.500 teams)


axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 05:29PM

LOL...this is SDQL and you're suppose to copy it and paste it as a query on the SDQL engines on the web...sportsdatabase.com, killer cappers.com, etc.

No man, perfect time to get your feet wet.  The hardest part is learning the language but I've already done that for you.  Go ahead PnP, try that out and a new world will be avalibale to you.  GL man... I'm a NOOB too.

axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 04:52PM

When I get into one of those action junkie modes (once a month or so) I've been known to just sit back and watch 1H and play the 2H totals.  I rarely play 1H.  Some guys here have a nice routine for 1H that they share on this thread when the spot presents itself.  Thanks for stopping by and do us a favor and kill that book!!! 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 04:55PM

Yeah, that number is WHACKED...I went back to 1996 and did not find a number this high (NEVER 240+).  I posted the numbers for the 9 games published at 235+ and the under is a good play.  Can't remember what that was but it's on this thread.  Why not the under?
axpiota59 says:

axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 05:54PM

Man, I got this and the NJ/SAC I'm debating.  actually maybe overanalyzing.  Gametime in 3 hours so I'm still on the fence!

3 possessions but I woudn't go pounding anything.

axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 03:23PM

yes, last night, I would have bought it at 202, Turc has minimum value at 203...we got lucky this morning and locked in at 205.5

Anyone on this yet...I know Chump likes this play

team=Nets and site=away and total>=200 and season=2008

and

team=Clippers and site=home and total>=200 and season=2008

Let's start with these and would love some feedback...we've got time to talk this out since it starts at 9:30 Eastern

Thanks guys

axpiota59 says:

yep...that's what I was trying to get at...I'm on the other side of Chump on this. I think this will go over.  
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 04:40PM

Which way you leaning on this PnP?
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:30PM

man, i didn't say anything then...it's such a sensitive thing with so many people ya know...
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:32PM

yes bro...i said that last 5 of the 2Q was going to be telling...it told us a lot!!!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:04PM

point taken KB, thank you.  really strating to lean on the O on NJ/SAC...2 hours  to go
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:42PM
Joe, I actually have a spreadsheet that I enter numbers into when I want to pace a game out.  Geek stuff.  LOL  I love the ESPN CBB gamecast.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:18PM
that was the 'telling' part.  we've got a good pace and I agree with Turc.  
Hey, we're not going to win 'em all and we're certainly not going to win 'em all by 30.  We just need to be on the right side of the number when all is said and done.  Or as Turc would say, "It's not over until Carney Wilson sings".  I saw that a few weeks back and still crack up.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:26PM

it's ok once in a while bro...action junkie!

03/15/09 08:01PM

that's hilarious!
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 08:03PM

I'm actually trying to cap that game ...STILL...at this point, it seems like I'll be forcing a play either way.  That's not a good feeling.  An hour or so to go before tip
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:51PM

good to see ya brother.  we got UTA/ORL U...looking for some public info on the last two games for the night if you got 'em.  thanks man
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 07:57PM
I'm liking our chances...but not going to jinx anything 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 06:05PM

luck is a small part of it...I can't remember what percentage they've put on it but they've done studies...yes, studies.  luck has a singledigit  percentage role in the outcome of games.  that goes for good and bad...just so happens the under got the good and the over got the bad.

axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 09:20PM

anytime Korrupt...I think we started capping this mess last night...oh man, I'm tired.  Not too tired to collect.

Man, that's great.  I'm happy to see my friends are cashing in with me.  Thanks for the kind words pal.  We've got work to do, tomorrow is already here.  Love the dancers wth the money bags. 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 09:08PM

Cowboy, you'll start meeting the regulars when you come around...bunch of GREAT guys and plenty of skills in capping games.  
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 09:10PM

OH CRAP...sorry bro, damn, I have to make myself more clear.  I'm sorry brother.
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 10:19PM

You nailed it alright.  It's a tough thing we do boss because there's so many factors to consider.  What's important in one spot may not be in another.  We have to sort through capping notes, spreadsheets, trends, watch the line movements, etc.  This isn't easy.  On top of that, when someone you respect has a differing opinion, you can't igmore that!

thanks for the kind words sir.  I know no other way to treat people.  Everyone has something to offer.  We all learn that way.

I'm not watching that track meet.  LOL, I'm watching the US about to mercy rule the Netherlands.  I'm almost in full MLB mode.  Had my draft last week for my dynasty league.  keep everyone and 2 round draft.  We are in our 9th or 10th year.  I strongly believe that if you're a capper, you MUST play fantasy sports.  

I am so tired of working the NBA everyday.  But there's plenty left to be made here pal...tomorrow is another workday! 
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 10:20PM

Well, this is all I do...I have to work more than 20 minutes a day.  What would my girl say?  Oh yeah..."Can we remodel the livingroom and get new pavers for the driveway and collect more dogs and ..."LOL
axpiota59 says:
03/15/09 09:48PM
Ok guys...going to start capping Monday's games!   
axpiota59 says:

03/15/09 11:24PM
As with all my value thread, I always try to wrap it up with some closing words.  I want to thank everyone that dropped by today to add the little pieces that we needed to make this monster capper that's going to give the book a run for its money (embellishing obviously LOL).

Seriously, thank you for your insight, contributions, counter-arguments,etc.

Let's get 'em again Monday. Believe me when I tell you, if we work together instead of
bashing each other, we can all walk to that window together.

BOLTA

Ax, buddy, dont you get it...????

You are saying those games have the value and all of them are betting right away and THEY move the line opposite from your favor...DAMN!!! And after you cant bet cause there is no value 3-4 pts from opened line

It will have to do, for now.
I might need to get a new maid. 

Please, don't exhaust yourself.
Really, you should value hunt for maybe 20 min to an hour....get some well deserved rest and wake up with a fresh pair of eyes in the morning.

Thanks again, to you, Ax
and ur awesome board of intuitive fellow contributors.

Ax, Sorry about bumping into you at the window earlier. I was too caught up doing this

 

Going take some time off to grill some steaks then I will be hitting tomorrows card.

 

GL on your late night plays

t20boss says:
03/15/09 09:50PM

Nailed it, Ax ! Called it at 192 last night, and that's what it was - all that worrying when the line dropped from 206 down to 203, all for naught. Should just stick with what we capped it at, instead of over-analyzing. I know Bruce was leaning on the over on NY/Clev - glad I went with my notes and JCW's validation on that under play as well. Never a doubt in that game.

After pooring thru all of the posts today, it's easy to see why so many new folks gravitate towards you, pal, and are discovering what many of us 'old-timers' have know for some time. You're a class act, who takes the time to respond to all who have a fair take and contribution to the cause.

Spent most of the afternoon starting to get into the MLB data - play a little fantasy baseball to go along with cappin' games, which seems to help you have a better feel for where a side/total  might end up each night. Like you, love pooring thru stats when I have the time.

Now just sitting back now and watching the GSW/Phx game w/o any defense being played whatsoever. Damn, it's like the pick-up games we used to play back in my college days....

Once again THANKS AX and TURC for your hard work and appreciate the good advice.
KorrupteD says:

fucking magics up by 20 and they pushing the ball and shooting with 16 secs on the shot clock left...thats why stan van gundy will never win a ring.

axp, any opinions on the o/u for the suns/gsw game?
poorguy says:
03/15/09 05:49PM

Ax - What's the safety cushion for this orl/uta game? I want to pound it now but it's at 203. O_o

poorguy says:
03/15/09 07:16PM

I was shitting myself with both teams not missing anything in the 1st half. They need to stop scoring so much in the 2nd half :)

poorguy says:
03/15/09 06:52PM
Both teams need to brick their shots from now! They're not missing ANYTHING :o
poorguy says:
03/15/09 07:56PM
Is anyone sweating this one out? :P

Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 05:39PM


I guess I am still a noob...
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 05:02PM


The Nets have cracked the 100 point barrier the last 5 games in a row, with the 6th game at 99 points which should have been much more considering they shot 42.9% in that game against the Bucks. And this is a team that is 22nd in the league in pace factor.

On the other hand, Clippers went over 100 only twice in their last 10 games, with those against the run and gun Pacers and Warriors.

Tough game to read, IMO.
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 05:26PM


I think there is something wrong with my computer or browser, but I am not sure what I am supposed to see whenever you post those.
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 04:37PM
Hmmm.....

Over is 11-2 in NJ last 13 overall.
Under is 6-2-1 in LAC last 9 overall.

My feeling is that the Nets will get their`s, but will they concentrate enough on defense knowing they will own them offensively...
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 08:40PM


Absolutely agree with that second paragraph!!!
Pick-N-Pop says:
03/15/09 08:31PM
Thanks for another winner, ax! Line movement had me messed up so I only had half a unit at 204. Luckily I put an additional full unit for 2H U 104. So in essence, I gained half a unit more than I would have if I locked in at 206. Sometimes things work out!


canuckfan77 says:
03/15/09 09:11PM


Ax, You are waaaaayyy too humbl. We enjoy what you write because you don't just post plays and explain what you are thinking. This really helps people, especially a noob like me!

Thanks for sharing the wisdom, and and even more for being a class guy!

Good call on the Utah/Magic under Ax and Turc!  we're not worthy!!

All the winners from today

03/15/09 06:42PM
Axpiota, please add me as a friend.  I want to PM you something.  Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you for plays or your system.
joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 06:56PM

Sent you that PM.

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:08PM
I got a pretty sizeable middling opportunity in the Cle game.  Damn, what to do, what to do.  Any suggestions Ax?  Anyone else in the same spot?
joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:16PM

Already played it.  Played it for .33 of my original bet. 

Gonna take the under in the Was 2H as well.  Just gambling today. 

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:01PM

Ax, go into degen mode.  Start tossing out 2H plays.  Do it brotha! 

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:00PM
Man, we need to get this guy named unitedpangea or something like that in here.   His avatar is of a dancing chicken.  It brings good luck.  I'll find him from one of my threads and drag him in here.
joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:26PM

yes, but only b/c i have the under for the game and it's a good middling opportunity for me.  only for .33 of my original bet.

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:46PM

I hate to admit it, but I do the same thing.  That's why I was asking.  Haha.

 

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:38PM

Ax, quick question.  What do you use to keep track of pace/efficiency for the games.  ESPN gamecast makes it really easy for ncaab, but not so much for NBA.  Do you just watch the scores and keep a mental track?  Thanks man.

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 07:30PM

Doubt yourself?  Hell, I doubled down on it!  I loved that pace to end the 2Q. 

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:56PM

CollectNow, I know you're one of the guys I told to check out Axpiota.  Just an FYI about Axpiota, he usually doesn't buy pts.  The best way to follow him IMO is to check his thread early on (he posts the night before as he is looking for value plays).

And just try to get the best lines possible but it's probably not a good idea to buy pts, especially more than just the hook!!!  Anyway, glad you made it here and glad you cashed. 

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 09:34PM

Good of you to join us.

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:35PM

Ax, I think eagle may be one of my "referrals".  Haha.  That's why I had to PM you.  I thought things might get interesting.

Cubboy and Granpa... I told you guys that Ax was the man to see.  He's been doing it all year long.  No one has a better record in the NBA, PERIOD.  And no one is as considerate and friendly either.  Real class act. 

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:49PM

check yor PM granpa.

joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:17PM
Man, I need 6 pts in 17 secs in that Cavs game for the middle.  PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!
joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:18PM
Geez, 6 missed FT's in the last 3 mins.  That was my middle right there...
joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:20PM
What a dud.  Missed my middle.  Glad I only put .33 of my original play on it.
joe_shmoe says:
03/15/09 08:21PM
