Anytime I see the Pistons laying points is basically an auto fade for me.  This is basic gambling 101 fading bad teams laying points.  It's tough enough for good teams to cover as fav's with any consistancy let alone bad ones.  I went and checked and wanted to see how they fare as -4 to -6 favs and are as I suspected 1-5 ATS.  This is an awful team with no future at all.  Minny has a far better lineup that is at least young and fast.  They will surprise people 2nd half and be one of the improving teams on the rise.  There is good value here and thought maybe it's a sucker bet than realized again it was the Pistons.  If you want to take them than your a A) a bad gambler or B) dumb.  There is no C.  I would love for anyone out there to tell me why your on the Pistons.

After a 6-1 Sunday in CBB here are 2 winners for you clowns.

Manhattan +? take it before gametime and Youngstown St +10.  At worst you will go 2-0.

Thanks UConn for the correction.   NBAfan we know how this will end up.  It's not even that, there are 3 of Covers regular posters who I always look for and 2 of them are on them.  It's much better to fade bad gamblers than tail good ones.  When ever I see them on a game I look to instantly fade or buy out of a game if I have them as well.  This is the best thing about Covers.

Right before the break, I had to look twice when I saw SAC +41/2 at DET. I was going to go big, but pulled back and layed 110. SAC wins the game outright. May be MINN doesn't win , but they might. But I'm staying with an undervalued MN team getting points at a very suspect favorite who I just won with by betting against them in the last game.

You need to research how teams come out of the break and therein lies your answer

Never take anything I say seriously, I'm a clown at heart who likes to laugh.  I forgot who said it but theres a famous quote "There has never been a shred of evidence that life is serious,".  I had this game at -4 at got 1.5 of value.  That is an extreme amount of value for me so I have to take the game.  Pistons may win by 30 tonight but for me it's a bad number to take the Pistons.
