Agreed...I posted after they lost miserably to MichSt that i will be looking to back them at home vs Michigan...but i was assuming a line like -5.5 or -6.5 at most...to win now by dd doesnr match my expecations now....Michigan can score in bunches and are very dangerous if their 3s are going in...its either Michigan + pts or pass for me

Memphis +8.5....trusting the cap....i cant imagine the line will get any better than this...i will likely pass on 1st half and 1st q based on my personal experience of not doing too well on those historically when i actually really like those wagers as much as i do here....best to pass and trust the full game to eliminate any bizarre 1st half runs or developments.

I'm tailing on MEM +8.5.

However, it seems like the lines have tightened up a lot in all kinds of college and international hoops.

Still kinda loose in the NBA and NFL.

Why would anyone bet OKC -6? I just don't get it.

OKC is a terrible road team at 2-8.
They are on a losing streak.
They are laying 6 points!!!
They got blown out by Dallas?!?!?
They have lost 4 of their last 5.

ORL is on a 9-game losing streak.
But, they are at home after a long road trip.
And, what better chance to stop a long losing streak than against a bad road team?

I just don't see any value in OKC, and can't see how they win the game.

Really want to go all-in on ORL ML but will just make it a large bet.

Parlay MEM+8.5 & ORL ML.

Okc tonight is a parallel game as Milwaukee last night.
Please reconsider wagering on the Magic tonight...it is not a wise play in my opinion...dont ever bet "large" backing a bad team, especially playing their first game at home after a lengthy road trip...theyve lost all these games in a row because they simply are not good right now...until they show any fight whatsoever, why would you ever choose to back them?

Ok. No parlays.

But, ORL is going for their 1100th FRANCHISE win tonight.

They aren't going to get it against GSW and then they go on the road again.

I'll just make a typical 1 unit bet and see what happens. No harm. No foul.

So tonight is the night the players put out the extra effort to get that 1100th win? Not the past nine game nights? Send me a reminder when they go for 1200, or even 1150.

If you were being sarcastic, i'm sorry

Dammit..i just saw gamebreaker23 post a thread specifically for Michigan +9.5

This is poisonous for the peoples champ ....do i have enough restraint to lay off this game and make a potential ingame wager instead?

Arizona -13 1st half (half unit)

Going to pass on Indiana +9 and Michigan +9.5 for now...will be hoping for favorable +EV ingame live wagering opportunites on both these games.

Good luck with everyones picks tonight....lots of games out there means lots of landmines....dont bet too many games tonight

I'm seeing about 80% of the money is on the Spurs and yet the line remains around +8.  I think we are gonna see a tighter game than people think.  

I am jumping on Memphis +8.   just trying to decide  how much at the moment.

Wofford +8


im not sold on Coastal right now.  Wins over UTSA Iona and St Andrews aren't impressing me.    They might win but 8 is a lot to cover.

Wait a second.

Is everyone on Memphis because they hired a new head coach?

It's a solid angle, but the books know a lot of people will be betting it.

And, you get 8 points to boot. It almost looks too good to be true.

And, MEM is not afraid to beat the Spurs (2-2 last year).

Looks like a very solid play. Once again, I am tempted to go big here. But, I will show restraint.

Under 103.5 Magic Team Total
