nice work once again scalabrine...this is getting boring(tho ya mite not have thought so half-way thru that nets game,hehehe)..why dont ya lose a bet from time to time??.
looked solid to me from the outset and,tho a circuitous route had 2 be taken to get there,so it proved to be in the end.
a win is a win tho,so thanks again.
 and as for my location,no definitely not N.Y........actually a small,much lesser known borough of N.Y. called N.Z......a short boat trip from australia.
surely im not brash enuff to be thought of as a noo yoicker?

@BB - forget the jazz game. I can write a lengthy essay on that game. The extra points WILL help you in the playoffs WITH the right line. And yes I look forward to Friday (but we may have to tease it as the line is gonna be 6 at least!)

@grey - it was my STRONGEST ML of the year and ultimately it pushed on you side but paid on my side. Situationally, this was not a good spot for Portland regardless of their comeback ability. And OF COURSE they are the better team! But I would never tease them up in that spot with a ML like that in comparison.

@melos - Always a pleasure. A circuitous route indeed.

@gene- it's a bit much to squawk when your team is down 3-2, although it should get to 3-3 shortly.

I actually wanted the nets to lose by 4 to justify the tease but I'll take the missed parlay opportunity

Just tired of hearing about the Raptors.... they talk big when theyre up and get silent when they get sent back to reality....

Hope it gets to 3-3..... these Nets have been disappointing to say the least.

@era - well yes since i'd be shocked if it doesn't go 7.

@gene - true to form the guy in this thread disappeared like a fart in the wind when the nets made their comeback

I am not sure why you are getting so worked up about raptors fans. You were trashing raptors from the get go anyway. You claimed nets are some how so superior to the raptors although both teams were quite evenly matched. You even mocked Scal for picking raptors in few games. This is a gambling site. You can be a big nets fan. But just like how mouthy you are about your team, opposing fans would do the same.

Great Teaser yesterday Scal. I was going to tease Portland, but decided to tease Houston after seeing your post. Keep up the good work.

@risk- thanks! I know you can't bet teasers but hopefully you took one of the two straight up (my preference from the get go being the rockets).

@cakebakin - good to hear man! Appreciate that!

First I want to say never go all-in on an ML. You'll hit 19 in a row and and the 20th will bust you.

But as far as the ML goes as a bet for this game on the Nets? I have it as an 9 of 10 strength. The ML has incredible value.

I have to watch the game back but would completely floored if they lost outright.

Beginnerboy has a thread on the game you should read.

@killer - nice! Somebody listened about Houston!

Cruised with Houston ML last night Scal, so I didn't even have to sweat that Nets 4th quarter cover.  Nice write-up for the teaser, however!
Cheers my dude.

Slow your roll, Larry...... when I wasn't talking about the Nets I've mentioned plenty of times how legit the Raptors are. I mentioned it in a bunch of other threads as well..... I been on the raptors a long time ago.... not even that big of a fan on the Nets.... Like KG and Pierce and I got some nice futures riding on them.... so it is what it is.

Scal Brooklyn is +279 to win the series. You think they win two in a row. I have a feeling they win game 6 with pierces guarantee.

To those above after my last post.

@hoops - yes BB has a great write up on the first page. Lots of great info in it.

@hoops- that can hit but too much needs to transpire before tip in game 7 for me to make a determination on that now. I've been betting game by game, am happy with doing that, and will continue to do so and I don't currently have any series bets. Basically you're capping game 7 today and honestly, I need to watch game 6 so I can cap a game 7 (and there better be one! There definitely should be one.).
