I see people concerned with majority of money coming in on OKC, but you have to understand that Vegas can live with that because of all the future bets on GSW to win the chip that they will cash on!!

 

Well said

Ben, his chuckle, be it intentional or spontaneous, revealed his mindset as a nonverbal. And that was one of supreme confidence which Westbrook usually shows but he is backing it up with his play in these playoffs. That is a combination to my benefit as an OKC backers.

In addition, I'm not going to log on here and give some vanilla write-up with only three teams standing and everyone on this site watching every game. I'm going to offer a different perspective to make the reading worth while. But ultimately, the pick has to come through.

That's true but OKC is at home for their game 7 and the Warriors still have a mountain to climb to rip off three straight wins.

In regards to the game, my original pick for this game was OKC ML
and I planned it out in advance. I knew OKC would be favorites come
game 6 because I was sure they would win games 3 and 4

Considering I've been on a bit of a losing streak these past couple of
days, (I've been switching some of my plays up from over thinking) and
I see I did the same thing here by picking GS. Looks like my original
vision was the correct one.

No need for a game 7 here, OKC is favored tonight by 3.5 now which
is a sign that the ML will come through. GS might cover, their final
game of the season if they lose, I don't think they would want to go
out getting blown out of the water again, due to their pride.

OKC definitely the public play here. We finally had a road team cover
last night, but will it be 2 in a row?

My original idea, since I am 99% sure OKC wins the series, was
to bet OKC ML for game 6...if they lose, bet again game 7. I won't
even need to double my bet because OKC will be +7.5 in game 7 I estimate.

Today I am getting an even stronger feeling that OKC wins the series.
I was just overthinking everything yesterday when I made my picks. 

So to try and get back on track today I am going to go with my original OKC
ML for both games 6 and 7, I think it's better to risk that GS won't come back
and win this series. Although it does seem like that would be a decent script
if they did come back from 3-1....starting to over think it again. lol

I have to stick with my original play that I was feeling all week last week.
And today getting stronger again. I am not saying OKC wins 100% for sure tonight
but I think they will now.

Also  St2ee and Scal both on OKC ML and St2ee has never lost a calisto moon play
so I don't want to fade you guys either.

I feel OKC ML is guaranteed profit if i bet them for the next 2 games.

If GS does come back, at least it will be fun to watch. But all the reasons
originally stated about them getting the 73 win record this year, curry's injury, nba
doesnt want rematch, Okc fresh and hungry, tons of futures on GS, etc will be the reasons why I think OKC will be the team scripted to advance

Santa,

It is now 1.5 over my line. I would have loved it at 2 but at the .5. So 3.5 is a full point over a line that perturbed me. Having said that, I'm not one to cap a game within a .5 pt either, that is, I have OKC winning this by striking fast and hard.

 

Note that the one game in the 13-3 record above that was within .5 was this very game: OKC losing by 3 in OT to GS while getting +3.5. And it took one if not the greatest regular season OT shots of all time to get within that .5. I'd just cut my bet in half if I had to lay 3.5. I can't responsibly endorse the same bet as the line slowly rises.

MGM, you are on the right side imo.

I would be shocked if GS lost a close one and covered. They either win or get run out of the gym again.

I wasn't necessarily including you in the 90%

But if you are the type to judge posters based on your opinion of their username rather than what they post then I may have to reconsider....

I remember that game. God was just thinking I hope this game doesn't go that way (to Overtime) because I have OKC ML parlayed with the UNDER tonight

How come? This could be GS's last game...so I think they put up a fight. (as well as we are due for another road cover)1st quarter indicates that. But they dont look like they came to win

Either way I took OKC ML so I hope they come through. I feel 75% about it.

Actually BB I think you re right. Thunder is going to blow them out. I see GS has only 20 pts and we are almost mid way through the 2nd quarter...

That is a sign that the final scoe tonight is going to be something like 

116 to 89

Will be one of GS lowest scoring games of the season.

Just something i am seeing by looking at their score they might not go out in style like I predicted. lol

Well at least you had a nice write up to read, EVERY "pro" was on OKC tonight... So not only did they lead their clients to the slaughterhouse, you led your followers there to.

And they had the right side, GS hit crazy 3's even for them...Durant choked completely(who saw that)...so many offensive rebounds for OKC, they just blew it

Scal dont listen to the negativity. I was sold on this pick man and thunder should have closed it out tonight. If they would have kept their foot on the pedal they easily cover. Appreciate the great insight and input, dont get too down on yourself you are a great capper. 13-4 is still an outstanding record! I will continue to tail you on all plays

Scal, would someone be a complete fool to think that some foul forces could have been at work here? 75% of the money was on OKC and the NBA stands to make 100M+ for a game Monday night. Durant looked like he threw this game. If he keeps his composure and they win on Monday that will absolutely guarantee it for me. Why do folks always want to underestimate human greed and corruption?
