HAPPY BIRTHDAY  QBUN 

My outside the box thinking on HOU/GSW did not pan out lol.

bwahahaha darn 6 goals 14 mins This is rediculous I'll stop posting plays holy darn

Thanks guys for all the postive words!! So lets keep moving forward with NEW experiment of playing the the TOP 5 ATS TEAMS IN NBA, CBB AND NHL:

NBA: okc-10...wash +4...memp-1...(still waiting on SA)

CBB: fordham+14....NHL to follow...GL

Billy, nice call on the nets.

Anaheim ML (+105) - After going 34-36-12 last year seems like Anaheim is starting to turn things around this year with the addition of an offence based coach Bruce Boudreau and defence-man Sheldon Souray I think Anaheim is going to be one of the top teams to beat in the west. Colorado is without captain Landeskog and a few other key injuries. Rolling with the hotter team thats out to prove to the league that they are not the same team as last year.

Blah even my reduced juice has Anaheim at -108.

Trying to lock in ANA, but my book does not have the line up...anyone know why??

Got it at +105 last night.. and the line is still open at sportsinteraction and bodog. Its currently sitting at -115

Glad to keep it going, just following your and Shady's lead from last year. Hoping for a great MLB season.

*OFFICIAL NBA CHASE PLAY*

UTAH -5 GM2 OF 3

(1% or 1 unit profit play)

Copied from my "keep track" thread:

2/6/13:
ALL 1Q Plays:
WAS +1
HOU +2.5
ATL +0.5
PHO +2
BRK (Nets) +0.5
I would not suggest the WAS game, kind of a tossup in my opinion.  Not sure how I wound up taking 5 1Q dogs either.  Might have full game picks later, but I may take a day off from them, as I was leaning IND but hoping the spread rose in their favor and so far, it's not, so I'll pass.

From a source who won with Hou last nite and is now on a 18-4 and 10-2 run with free plays...

The slumping Raptors will look to capitalize on their success at home this season, where they are 14-9-1 ATS, when they host the Celtics in Toronto Wednesday night.  The games sets up particularly well for the Raptors with Boston entering off a stirring revenge home win over the Clippers on Super Bowl Sunday, while Toronto checks in off a 15-point home loss against Miami the same day. That sets the table tonight as the Raptors are a commanding 25-11 SU and 25-9-2 ATS at home when seeking revenge in games off a home loss, including 5-0 ATS when playing off a home loss of 15 or more points.  With the Celtics eyeing up the Lakers back in Beantown tomorrow night, the host becomes the play here tonight. 

More on Toronto.. The Raps are coming off a tough loss to the Miami Heat but still I think they bounce back and get a nice win here. It is always a big game when the Celtics come to town and I expect the Raps to be ready.True the Celtics have been on roll lately but it’s no coincidence that the four game win streak has come at home where the team is much more potent.  A trip to Toronto should prove be a lot tougher without star Rajon Rondo. The Raptors are 14-10 ATS this year and 7-5 ATS as the favorite.
Toronto has played two tough opponents after a blockbuster trade that brought Rudy happy to the team. A few games under belt should be only good thing here as they host a storied franchise in the Celtics who always generate attention. The Celtics are indeed on a nice win streak here but they have yet to play on the road without star Rondo. Even with Rondo, the Celtics are 7-14 SU on the road this year and 6-13 ATS. The Celtics have lost its last three games on the road and have allowed 99.9 points a game against while only putting up 93.6 themselves.

I don't know if I can go against Ind again after they killed me last night, but here's the info for those who wish to try this may be the spot.The Pacers are in a rare situation of playing their third game in three nights. This is tough for any team to overcome, but you also have to couple in the fact that Indiana is coming off a stretch of playing Miami, Chicago, and Atlanta but will now take on a sub. 500 team in the finale. This not only is a troubling scheduling spot, but is a prime situation for a letdown. Indiana is 20-3 at home this year, but they are only 10-16 on the road, being outscored by 3 ppg. Philadelphia has been awful on the road but at home they are a respectable 15-11. The Sixers have been playing well. They have won three in a row and five of their last seven at home with the two losses coming to San Antonio and Memphis by a combined eight points. I think in a normal situation they would keep this game close, but with the Pacers in as tough of a spot as they are, it makes it that much better.

More on the Sixers/Pacers...

The Indiana Pacers are the only team in the league that has to play a back-to-back-to-back situation this season. That will take place tonight as the Pacers will be playing their 3rd game in 3 days following home wins over the Bulls and Hawks the past two nights. There’s no question that Indiana’s players will be fatigued heading into this one, and I really don’t even expect them to show up. After all, the Pacers are just 10-16 away from home this season, scoring a mere 89.2 points/game.

Philadelphia comes in playing its best basketball of the season as it tries to make a push for that 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. It has won three straight and four of five with its only loss coming by a mere three points (100-103) to Western Conference power Memphis.

All four of its wins during this stretch have come by 8 points or more, which includes a 97-80 home victory over the New York Knicks on January 26th. The biggest reason for the 76ers’ turnaround has been defense. They are allowing just 81.6 points/game on 39.9% shooting in their last five contests.

Indiana is 0-9 ATS after a game giving up 5 or less offensive rebounds over the last 2 seasons. The Pacers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The 76ers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Philadelphia is 10-2-1 ATS in its last 13 games after allowing less than 75 points in its previous game.

One more article about Toronto ( I have them at -3)

Toronto -3

Oddsmakers begging you to take the Celtics against a team who is 17-31 on the year SU and playing just .500 at home. As Lee Corso says, not so fast my friend! Boston is on a 4 game win streak including a win over the Clippers where they scored 106 points at home, and yet they are an underdog? CAN YOU SAY TRAP LINE? Boston has the Lakers and Nuggets on deck after this game, and this is a tough scheduling spot for them. The Raptors have dropped 7 out of their last 10 including a 15 point home setback to Miami on Sunday, but yet again they are favorites. I have seen this scenario hundreds times over my 21 career and more times than not I drank the kool aid with a sucker line and got my rear handed to me, so live and learn. Trade rumors swirling around Kevin Garnett for Boston, a big game on deck, and while all signs point to Boston as a take here, I say we play it contrarian and go with the Raptors at home with the return of Andrea Bargnani tonight into the lineup.

In hindsight we should have probably waited till this game to play the Game 3 but the Hawks looked like a good bet too . 

By the way nice call on the Flames yesterday .

I like IND for a couple reasons.  First, they are aware of the hype coming with the b2b2b schedule, and them being the only team to face that situation this year.  I think mentally they will come prepared to meet that hype, especially given they are a defense-oriented team and have been scoring an average of 106.25 points during their 4 game win streak (4 games in 7 days) and their season average is 92.8.  Combine that with their stellar 2nd ranked defense against PHI's sub-par 28th ranked offense... it makes for a good NBA storyline if they win the b2b2b.  Plus, Thaddeus Young being out doesn't help the cause.  I may or may not take IND, but in my opinion, even if you don't want to take IND, I would pass on PHI.  BOL either way!

LOCKED AND LOADED:

Sa-4....still no NHL puck line...booooooo...
