They played a complete basketball game led by their underrated Big Three (Calderon, Bargnani, and DeRozan) that indicates they can make a legitimate run at a bottom playoff seed in the East. You're 0-for-3. Do us a favor and watch the basketball games instead of writing off stats and other people's comments. You don't want to be one of those people. |

He's the one who facilitates their whole up-tempo offense. Yes, they were 38-44 in over/unders last season, but if you watched any Raptors game, which I'm guessing you did not since you sound like you're simply writing off written words from websites, you would know they run and gun with anyone. They are a very up-tempo team, which fits Calderon's style perfectly. No. 1, they are a high-scoring team. Unders will not profit you on their games. No. 2, they are not as bad as you make them seem out to be. It appears you simply go with the general consensus, which has no clue about the potential of this team. Bargnani is a very rare breed of center who may be a bit soft, but scores in bunches. Their bench isn't bad, Ed Davis, aka the human garbage disposal, is a daily double-double, and most importantly, DeMar DeRozan has the potential to be this generation's younger Kobe Bryant, in terms of both flash and statistics. In fact, I'd bet DeRozan averages over 20 pts/g this year. Hopefully there's a prop for it... |

Wow, you fall in love with a bet while not even knowing two VERY VERY VERY important components of the game... Ricky Rubio and JJ Barea not playing, as they were resting minor injuries. All the more reason to pound Wolves Over 22.5 Wins |

I will probably take a look into the Wolves total and see if there is anything that stands out. The frustrating thing is that when Vegas initially released the over/under win totals, the Wolves were their lowest one at 15.5... as soon as I saw that, I wanted put my life on the over (Pardon the cliche). But unfortunately, I, nor anyone else, didn't get that chance, as these sportsbooks wisely waited until Vegas tweaked them a bit, apparently. But luckily, they tweaked Sacramento way too much in our favor, in my opinion. As I already detailed, Kings Over 15.5 Wins should be on everyone's betting sheets for the upcoming season. That's practically a gift. And I'll still bite on Minnesota Over 22.5. Besides from their obvious leap forward this year, their fellow division rivals might disappoint. Utah, most certainly, will be lackluster. Portland might take a step back with Aldridge's recent heart condition and Roy's sudden (Or perhaps not so sudden) retirement. In addition, while we talked about a possible Denver emergence, the Wolves can easily play them close with similar, albeit not as deep, young talent. As for the Thunder... Minnesota was swept by them last year, but played every game in close fashion (Yes, two of the scores were 111-103, but were much closer than that final score). Regardless of any other over/under, though, Kings Over 15.5 is where it's at. |

While I won't be betting it, I do think the Nuggets Over is a very solid bet. The 66-game schedule format seems to favor teams of their makeup, having a ton of depth and fresh legs to survive the rigors of the more frequent back-to-backs for the upcoming year. Plus, everyone appears to be all over Arron Afflalo to break out. |

Thank you for the info, it's a real shame the books took forever putting them up, as we all would have made a killing on Timberwolves Over 15.5. As for 22.5, I'll still bite on the over, as Rubio looks like he can be a more-than-capable NBA point guard, and the team in general appears it's going to make a major impact, especially with Adelman coaching. They should make a significant leap forward and I believe 23 wins falls within that leap. However, according to their list, the biggest lock now has to be Sacramento at Over 15.5. Yes, losing Chuck Hayes will be a huge blow to their defense, but their roster is filled with scorers. This is going to be an exciting team, with a legit superstar in Tyreke Evans (Everyone forgets he was playing with plantar fasciitis all of last year and STILL put up respectable numbers. Trust me, he is a superstar), and perhaps DeMarcus Cousins takes that inevitable next step forward in establishing himself as one of the best big man in the West. Kings Over 15.5 is the best bet on the board there. I've been tracking the Kings for several years now, and when you throw in the extra positive energy they'll have from the fans for keeping the team in Sacramento (For now), it just looks like something special's brewing over there. Thus, going 16-50, at the very least, should be academic. |

Breaking news... it appears the win totals WILL be up at some point before the season, most likely around the 23rd (Giving us bettors a whopping two days to organize and arrange our Futures Bets). I talked to a supervisor from my sportsbook, who said they base their bets off of fellow popular book, thegreek.com. Thus, I chatted with someone from there, and they told me that while they currently don't have them listed, they plan on definitely getting the Regular Season Win Total bets up at some point before the season, most likely a day or two in advance. When that happens, I assume there will be a domino-like effect and most, if not all, sportsbooks should have them up for selection. This is tremendous news. Can't wait to put in my Timberwolves Over 15.5 wins bet... and Kings Over 17.5 wins is a pretty safe bet as well (With a fully HEALTHY Tyreke Evans). |

Why is no one complaining about this? This should be a HUGE issue. The Futures Win Totals bets, in my opinion, are usually an easier way to make money - no matter the sport - and should especially be more enticing for the upcoming basketball season, considering Vegas shelled out their numbers in less than a week's time after the NBA lockout was resolved. In other words, Vegas is vulnerable with these bets, as there is no precedent for a 66-game season, which should actually increase their odds of being wrong and losing. (Ex. WOLVES OVER 15.5 WINS... I have never used this cliche before but I want to bet my life on it) But if these always-fun bets aren't even made available on ANY sportsbook, how the hell are we supposed to even bet them? Just unbelievable. The season starts in five days... I am going to flip if they aren't posted. |

*** 34-2 over the past 7 years (94.4%) and 5-0 this year (100%) Trend has a play for MNF ***
in NFL Betting To anyone who is arguing with LeagueCapper... shut up. I rarely contribute on these forums but I know when someone is legit, and LeagueCapper is exactly that. LeagueCapper, I am very impressed with these trends (Including the one yesterday) that you have discovered. Any time you can find a distinct trend that traces back several years, with a winning percentage of over 90, that deserves a tip of the cap, and you have one from me my good sir. I rarely - very rarely - take bets from other people, as I like to win on my own, but you have me sold. I will be on 49ers for tonight's game because of this trend. As for the over of 37... eh, I took the under, but then again, I got it at 40. Hopefully we both win. Thanks for sharing your research. |

So does anyone know the answer? I'm shocked there's not more of an outrage over this. Think about it - there's some easy NBA over/under win totals out there (WOLVESSSS OVERRRRR) for the coming season with seemingly guaranteed money to be made... and we can't even bet on it because apparently not ONE sportsbook wants to put them up. Unbelievable. |

The main reason anyone should take a Toronto Raptors regular season bet would be: A)They have the most entertaining announcers in sports. Matt Devlin (Who's greatness has finally been recognized where he was doing lower-level playoff games on TNT) and Jack Armstrong are truly hilarious... I have League Pass for every sport other than hockey so that is a real testament to their ability (Golden State Warriors announcers are a close second) B)DeMar DeRozan. This guy is inevitably a superstar. A Big Three of him, Calderon, and Bargnani is enough to make any team competent, which is why I'd advise anyone against the under. |

Wouldn't be the first time my book made a mistake. They once switched Cam Newton props earlier in the year by mistake for a game (O/U 34.5 completions and 22.5 rush yards... instead of vice versa. I pounded both and they gave me credit for both victories!). Then again, sometimes they recognize, specifically in more obvious cases. A couple of weeks ago, they had over/under 66.5 rush AND rec yards combined for Mike Tolbert and Ryan Mathews. Obviously, they left out the "1" since it should've been over/under 166.5 combined yards. I pounded the over of 66.5, obviously, but they recognized the error and ruled no bet. This one isn't as obvious, though, so there's a good chance it stands, like in the Cam Newton instance. |

Ha, if Vegas saw my track record, they wouldn't like me. I never post on here so I'm not going to get into that, but let's just say I'm a crafty veteran of this business who has studied lines for several years in every way possible. I'll leave it at that. In this case, I just don't see it. Yes, whenever you hear the name "Hines Ward," you generally think of one of the best receivers over the past decade, someone who would consistent register numbers of at least 6 catches for 70 yards. This year, however, is a completely different story. He hasn't been completely healthy, and most importantly for us under-backers in this particular bet, his role in the offense has diminished significantly. Mike Wallace has emerged as one of the game's best at his position, while Antonio Brown has seemingly come out of nowhere to be one of the true breakout stories of 2011. Furthermore, Jerricho Cotchery has caught on a bit lately and can take away from Ward's potential snaps. And also, let's not forget their pass-catch-happy backfield that could swallow a decent portion of Ben's completions. There's just no justification to take the over in this bet. None at all. I'd be very curious to see if there is one person in the country today who saw this bet and thought, "Yeah, over 66.5 yards should win." Why would I be so curious over that? Because I seriously doubt that thought crossed anyone's mind today. Under. Under. Under 66.5 yards. |

I, too, would love to know where the hell the over/under win totals are - it's not right AT ALL that none of these sportsbooks have them up anywhere. You can't pick and choose what bets are available to bettors, that's just wrong and highly disrespectful and insulting. As you can probably tell, I'm still very mad that they haven't been up anywhere. Why? I don't mean to sound cliche but I'd come close to betting my life on the Timberwolves over 15.5 wins. Unfortunately, if they're not up at all, I won't have that opportunity, nor will anyone else.

Anyone else see this incredibly fishy prop bet for tonight's matchup? Why in the world would Vegas set the number at 66.5 yards? Hines Ward has essentially become dead weight in Pittsburgh's offense all season, having very minimal production. The most telling stat is that he's only exceeded 66 yards ONCE this entire season - and that was when he had 67 yards... in Week One. Is there even any justification for someone to take the over here? If it's a decisive game in San Fran's favor (Which is very much possible) and Roethlisberger/Batch is passing all game, I still can't see him topping that number given how drastically he's fallen this year. Obviously, lock up the under. |

Hopefully the rest of you cashed in on this with me. Very nice win. |

Uh oh, Monta Ellis now considered doubtful after being probable earlier this afternoon. It could be argued that the Warriors are, in fact, a better team without Ellis, but he will sorely be missed here, considering some of the other talented youngsters like Stephen Curry and Reggie Williams have hit a ceiling and are relatively struggling recently.

However, for Warriors backors, I am sorry to say that Tony Brothers is also part of the officiating crew, a ref that Don Nelson is, well, not too fond of. Brothers might hold the same grudge. Let's hope this doesn't affect the over. |

Exactly, when a ridiculously high over/under keeps going up, it usually ends up being an over anyway.

Warrior_King | 13 |

Yup, and just as I was writing this, the spread jumped up to 237. This is actually a VERY good sign because I've noticed that when Vegas jacks up an over that is already ridiculously high to begin with, the over usually hits anyway! Hopefully some of you got it at the 235.5-mark, but even at 237, I still highly recommend taking it. Let's hope Reggie Williams has his shot back after his poor night on Wednesday.
