There are a few things indicating that Nets will cover here. NBA will first of all not allow this Brooklyn team to miss out on the playoffs, but that shouldnt be a problem anyways. But most important, LAC got 2 lucky covers in their latest 2 games, none of them should have been covered as i see it based on their way of playing. So i think its planned that LAC got these 2 covers for free, and then they give the cover up here. And they want to light up under the Brooklyn train and give them a cover here.

I booked Brooklyn +2.5 but i see the line is @ +1.0 now.

Indiana - Miami lmfao. The spread @ 3.0. Pacers on the ball 95-94, THEY HAVE NO TIMEOUTS, so what u would normally do here is, wind the clock down and go for the last shot or nothing, instead they turn the ball over in the most awkward way QUICKLY, its not like they are looking for an open opportunity and then finding one, no, its like they are COMPLETELY desperate and quickly turns the ball over so that Heat / Allen can knock in easy 2 fts.  And lets say that Allen had missed one of these FTs? No problem, we would just take a quick shot again - miss it of course - and then send them to the line again to give them a few more shots of hitting this spread  And what kind of shot was it in the end lmao? Was that George? One of the most awful shots ive ever seen, it looked like a shot a drunk Javele would take. 

You gotta love it, and all the blind fans sitting down watching this game shouting "DEFENSE!" like a bunch of sheep.

Holding - Easy money. 

My friend had a ticket with Dallas +1.0 and at 101-95 i told him he could just burn it. And he was laughing at me and said why? And i said "Coz its rigged" No way they would allow SO MANY DOGS TO COVER. U see, Raps cover, Hawks cover, Celtics cover the new 3.5 from 3.0 at worst its a push, Knicks cover, and now also Dallas? NO WAY THAT WOULD HAPPEN.

Clippers without cp3? Doesnt matter :DDD players dont matter :D all that matters is the line. If Clippers had 8 players injured on the court all of a sudden it wouldnt matter brick shiat coz the game would have to be covered :DDDD

Hahaha i enjoyed watching how his smile faded :P

I created a thread about this but here goes:

This Wolves-Lakers games proves how NBA games are rigged and how ALL games are about 2 things:

1. Its about making NBA games entertaining to watch
2. Its about making the right side of the spreads hit for Vegas (and here keeping either or both lines rather close for entertainment).

Of course its about profits too, but thats what u recieve in the end by fullfilling those 2 points above...


Idk what side they want to win, idk what o/u side is the right side or anything in this game thats why i dont bet on it, but as a neutral in this game i just find whats happening here so odd.

You see, i watched the Knicks - Lakers games a little over a week ago. Game is comming down the wire, and i think Lakers showed they had a little edge here in the game, game is tied @ 74-74 and its like 95-97 or tied @ 95-95 in the game too in the end. Then all of a sudden, Lakers decide to throw the game coz they dont want to win the game, and not only are they losing a very close 50/50 game here, they are also giving up the 5.5 - 6.5 spread because they lost 110-103 in the end, in what was a totally even game untill this happened. So what we can see here is, viewers got entertained which is good for the NBA, Lakers lost as they wanted to, Knicks won at home as they wanted to, Vegas got their spread where they probably wanted Knicks to cover + Knicks moneyline as people are scared to lay points against a scrubbie team like the Knicks (atleast scared of pounding it)


And, oh well oh well oh well. What do we have here in the Lakers game. Minnesota are absolutely crushing the Lakers in the first half, but do they want is to be so square so that viewers can just turn off their tv and Minnesota win by 50 which they are playing like they should be leading? No. of course not. 

Dont you find it odd, that when Lakers are down 16 @ halftime against Minnesota which is clearly a better team, they decide to show up for the second half? They do not even want to win. But they only do it FOR ENTERTAINMENT, and for Vegas and for NBA. Look at them, they complain about refs, they are almost crying about them on small plays, why would they all of a sudden care about a game that is already sailed when they gave away the win for free in new york? Because they HAVE to. Look how close this game is on the spread of 10.5 points and the o/u 217, everyone are entertained, betters, NBA, Minnesota homecrowd, Lakers fans "Ohh its so good that we show up and see that we come out strong in the second half and that we finally play D even tho we dont have the tools available to compete with Minnesota and bla bla bla"



Its time for some people to open their eyes to what is going on. 
NBA is all about entertainment and money. Nothing else. This game proves it. Such a weird shift in mentality depending on what situation it is.

Pro b ball players are simply phenomenal creatures any given pro nba player can hit 80% of 100 shots at any given time in regards to position so games can swing wildly at any moment and any game can be tight and any team can win as long as its not too much of a liability for Vegas I love when players slump at the line and miss open layups it's nonsense all these guys do is ball everyday and most of this guys are so giantac their arm reach is already a quarter of the way to the hoop all the have to do is release the ball in the remote direction of the hoop but if you really look at it from a reasonable point of view how can you expect real competition these guys would all circum to exhaustion day in day out flying all over the country running up and down a court it's not even possible but anyhoo glad to be back Im aiming to get off Holdings fade list lol lets get this freak show started cheers

dusty i agree, I saw earl boykins play pick up ball against my friends college team, the whole time i watched 1-2 hours... He didnt miss one single shot, all swishes. even when he showed off from half court it rattled in. amazing how good they are.

any ways. same story here, poor lakers have no players to suit up. must be a blow out against the all mighty thunder!
lakers +10.5

Yo Boons we got tumble weeds in here that's cool the season doesn't officially start until after the all star so I'll give to "unofficial" leans if you will in the first game we got my beloved ahem bulls and the nets which is becoming a good rivalry the way the bulls have on it's unexplicably dominated the nets is with hacking hawking relentless defense BK has gotta be tired of it they are coming into the UC expecting to not got any calls they know the only way they can will is to out score now I'm not saying they will pull it off but their gonna give the bulls a run for the money Bulls will prob keep up with that and pull it out in the end to be 3 games over .500 and actually become considerable winners and not just gritty loosers either way I like over 

The second game it's not much to say here name the Lakers starting lineup prob can't even their go to bench guys are hurt besides that they are just gutless on the other end well cause Kevin Durant he'll have a nice combination of the first half of his banner season tonight smells like a blowout I wouldn't gamble with the lakers showing some heart gotta be Thunder or nothing

we're all degenerates and need to bet everyday to scare the chit out of ourselves.

Picking spots is of course the route to go but it's not about money....never will be.

It was an easy one I had the lakers marked off on my play schedule since before the season started but I allowed the "injuries" to sway me which is a mistake I make often the predetermination is going to be what it's suppose to be no matter what situations come up the situations are only used to mind eff you but it's just so tricky when my logic comes in and says are you really gonna take a reserved team vs. the Avataur slim reaper one man recking crew in KD who's been destroying way better teams for a whole month so it messed up my perception I think that's my main flaw in wagering any tips on how to offset that nagging voice of reason that has no place in making picks?
