Goodmorning fellas, after a 3-0 sweep last night that brings my YTD RECORD: 10-3-1 . Got a really busy day ahead of me today and the lines have yet to come out. But because I am so busy im not sure that I will be able to get in thorough research and study of these games. If that is the case I will probably not play any games, because im not just gonna throw 2 plays up there without making sure I have confidence in them. I will however try and post my leans after I do my initial research, and considering almost all my leans hit, they may help ya guys out. Will do my best to find time to look at these games real hard and get out my plays of the day so we can do it all over again today, LAUGHIN STRAIGHT TO THE BANK!!! Hopefully see ya soon Gentlemen!

If you want an early look at NBA lines Pinnacle usually has them up pretty early.  I know your American and can't bet on there but you can at least have an early glimpse.
 
I'm proly only making one play today which will be the Nuggets -2.5.  Haven't looked into whose playing for the Nuggets but if I see they're rolling out a decent lineup I will be on them.  Really don't like what I've seen out of the Clip Show so far I think there a play against team.  Their guard play is really weak and they're not that athletic except for Al Thornton.  Think JR Smith and Melo could really torch the Clippers, they don't really have any strong defenders on the perimeter.  Up front they just got a bunch of slow, unathletic white guys like Davis, Kaman and Novak.  Could see Nene and KMart crown them tonight.  So this game is probably the only one I will pull the trigger on although the Heat +7 against the Spurs is really starting to catch my eye.  Best of luck today.

Alright fellas I was able to find some time here to at least look at these games and do some initial research, so I was able to establish my leans for tonight so here ya go.......

Washington Wizards +5.5

New York Knicks -4.5

Milwaukee Bucks +5.5

Miami Heat +7 

Alright so this is what I have researched and looked at so far, still have a lot of work to do with these games. Gotta leave again but im gonna try my best to find time to finish my research and get at least one confident play out to you guys. The one i still really need to look at a lot is the MIAMI game so i caution you a lot with that pick, its just a lean so I put it in there. As always wait til right before tip-off if you are gonna roll with one of these and try to get more points. Hope to be back soon so we can get us another profitable day!

YTD Record: 10-3-1 

Just finished up doing my research on tonights games and these are the plays that i came up that I have the most confidence in with my money. So here ya go Gentlemen.....

Washington Wizards: +5

Milwaukee Bucks: +8 (buying 2 points)

Two Team Teaser (5 point)

Washington Wizards +10
Milwaukee Bucks: +11

Well guys here it is, my final card for tonights games. Right off the bat i just want to clear up why i seem to always have a game in which i buy points. To me winning is winning no matter the dollar amount won, i never look to double my bank roll over night especially considering the length of the NBA season, so if I see a game that I feel i can make profit on if I buy a point or two i will take it because, add a bunch of those covers up and it will pay off over time. So this is what we got for tonight, Feel that the wizards are better team than they have shown to be in the preseason, and tonight against a cleveland team that is playing 3rd game in 4 days, i feel the rest for the wizards will make the difference in this one. As so the bucks, even though they are playing b2b I feel that the injury to hughes last night is gonna hurt them in this one. Also in the minnesota game they really did not even play good the timberwolves just played that bad, scoring only 9pts a quarter twice that game. The bulls are also playing their 3rd game in 4 days and are gonna get tired in this one, so im looking at the bucks to take advantage and get the 8 point cover tonight, maybe even win this one outright. SO FELLAS THIS WHAT I GOT AND THAT WHAT I GOTS TA SAY ABOUT IT! TRYING TO HAVE A REPEAT OF LAST NIGHT IN THIS ONE, AND CASH IN AT YET ANOTHER 3-0 DAY!! 

LETS GET THIS GENTLEMEN AND LAUGH STRAIGHT TO THE BANK ON THIS ONE!!! 

As always BOL to you all with any picks you take tonight!

I used to think this way as well but in doing so and buying points with extra juice you're negating the times you will inevitably lose.  Basketball isn't like football where there are a lot of keys numbers.  Like in NFL I fully understand buying up to a fg or td.  However, in the NBA I really don't understand getting +7 then buying up  to +9 with the extra juice of thirty cents? Imo mathematically it just doens't make sense to be buying a couple of points paying lots of extra juice if there isn't substantial proof to suggest these two points are that key.

Just think of it from the times you do lose buying points.  Instead of paying -105 at +7 buying two points you're paying -150 for +9.  So now when you lose you've paid 45 extra cents that were irrelevant.  Over the course of the season this juice adds up, you wanna keep the juice as low as possible unless there is strong strong evidence to support buying the points.  That's just the way I do things but if it works for you I understand.  Your advice and leans on games are much appreciated.  Hopefully we can all have a great NBA season and stack some loot.

Appreciate the advice Value! But using my same methods last year I managed to rack in nearly $20,000 doing it this way and buying points time and time again through all of last season, and I did lose those games many times! But once again I do appreciate it man. With that said now I may have just jinxed myself tonight, but I sure do hope not! BOL to You!

Excellent card bro, love the Wiz bet and like the gutsy Buck bet.  They will redeem themselves somewhat after a badd loss to Minny.  I like the teaser the best.  That should win easy.  Good luck tonight MVP.

If you're buying what you perceive to be key points under your philosophy and your making money then I agree MVP.
