    That being said I live in Dallas and I don't trust the Mavs, the better bet is the over, EVERY single game where the MAVS are rested the put up points no matter who the opponent is

    He is up almost 60 Units and was + money both the previous 2 NFL seasons. Looks to me like the mistake is being made by you by not trusting a guy who is up over 100 units in the last couple years

    @ LeagueCapper

    Nice record unlike mine but I think you're going to lose on both Dallas and Denver tonight. GL even though I want Miami and Phoenix to come through.

    LeagueCapper,

    Why do you choose to parlay with a team that is not one of your larger unit plays?  Why not Suns and Mavs?  Just curious. 

    BOL.

    ^Nevermind.  Saw that it was a teaser.  But, why not tease with your 2 stronger unit plays?  Sorry for the confusion.

    I am teasing my two stronger plays, Mavericks and Nuggets. Either way it's all about value. The best spreads to tease are +2/+3 or -6/-7 as you get the most value added. I didn't even think to tease the Knicks from +5.5 to +10.5 as it's not as much value being added.

    Lebron's interview scared me a bit over here, although it's a good spot to back the Mavs.

    He said its time to get back into heat mode for the second half of the season.

    Is DWade playing 100%? Is that a factor into your picks every night?

    Lebron's interview scared me a bit over here, although it's a good spot to back the Mavs.

    He said its time to get back into heat mode for the second half of the season.

    Is DWade playing 100%? Is that a factor into your picks every night?

    3 picks and a tease?!? I can't remember the last time I saw so many games in your thread.

    Will strongly consider the Mavs based on this

    I agree 100%. Listening to the homers nonsense is something that I also avoid.

    Everyone thinks the Heat will turn it on after the all-star break but I don't see why they would. It's apparent there in cruise control this year to remain healthy for the playoffs. Not sure why that would change starting now

    LC, one site shows public money is 70 % on the Suns and 80% on the Heat but the lines have not really moved at all. Is this what you mean by Vegas gambling on certain games? The Suns game is real test of your system (BTW) as I would never think of betting on a team with almost no PG guards (which is the other teams strength) and where the other team (the Suns) have dominated head to head.

    The mistake with you're opinion is Sportsbetting has nothing to do with sports.Have a great day.

    Heat line has moved a bit, some sites released -1.5 or -2. It's nearing -2.5 at some locations but it could have easily been adjusted more. Sharp money is on Mavs here which is reducing the line movement. An example of Vegas gambling off the top of my head was the Grizzlies Magic game a few days ago. Grizzlies were 2 point favorites against the Magic and after 85% of money was on them, books failed to adjust the spread. They kept the 2 point spread and welcomed more Grizzlies money all day long. They gambled on the Magic. The Magic were leading or tied with less than a minute left, it could have easily went either way. With these types of games, Vegas only needs to win 1 out of a handful of these to profit so even though the Magic lost, Vegas won in a sense.
