    Three weeks ago the Jazz as a 4.5pt fav crushed the Hornets. They are currently on a 9-4 ATS streak and 7-3 SU in their last 10.  N.O. is currently on a fantastic 3-13 ATS streak and 3-7 in their last 10 SU. Looks like another Jazz blowout. Thanks but no thanks. Let's take the N.O. Hornets +1 for a nickel.

    Hornets are on my no play list after the last two weeks. I'm not sure how any can look at this card and decide that laying $$$ on the Hornets is the best play of the day

    I ALWAYS take a home dog of less than a bucket at home with more than 80% on the road fav. But the Hornets are ATROCIOUS and I rather get lucky with public pick then sit around and HOPE the sharp pick hits. Not tonight

    I'm just showing my respect to the LVSC. We all know how tough this business is. Kenny White is not in the business of giving money away. I think the Hornets at home, on a Friday night, have a better shot at winning and covering than most of those "Really Easy" picks on the board.

    good call man, missed that one, actually , more like overlooked it.
    how the fuck did you cap this game?

    Hey Fresh. I apologize in advance if I bore you to death with this story.
       Thirty years ago when I was 15 years old, my older brother took me to the Raynham/Taunton dog track just outside of Boston so he could pay off his bookie. I sat there and observed as a dozen or so guys came in and out handing money over to "Irish Dave". Only 2 or 3 guys came to collect money. My brother was owed $500. He bet 1 football game for a nickel and won and shut it down for the rest of the week. Irish Dave handed him the money and said, "What's this s hit? You bet only one game then come in here to collect? That's bull*hit kid." Dave went on to talk about how great a guy he was to give everybody a chance to win a lot of money by being able to pick the team "they" wanted to bet on - as he was "forced" to take the other side of the "crappy" action. Looking at the exchange rate of what Dave was taking in compared to what was going out, I realized right then that I wanted to be on the side of the guy who was "forced" to take the "crappy" side of the action. Last night, when looking at that NBA board, there was no way to justify Utah as being only a one point  favorite over a slumping Hornets squad. I don't know if "Irish Dave" is still alive, but if he is, I sure the "crappy" side if the action was on N.O. I'll try to align myself with the folks who win more than they lose, ie. the Books every single time.
