Just went by the line I had on my history in my account at heat -5 - did not follow line movement but thought I saw a -6 then a -13 or so on the news- maybe the -6 was on potential news then -13 on the actual news release I do have a -5 as a push on that date.

I of course think a 5.5 teaser is in order today- along with an 8 team parlay of all the overs and all the favs except heat lakers which I think is heat and the under- if heat play def like yesterday this could be the outcome- just to start the day- I need some time to read into the heat game-

Mavin.......I am just dropping in to say GL.

I have no idea how you have been doing.

But this is one of the longest threads I have seen on here in a long time so I wanted to be part of it.

Congrats

One thing is a fact and that can't be changed: The leagues are employers of the players, refs, coaches etc and together with gambling conglomerates are all part of the entertainment business with everything included and in the name of high profits and good entertaimnent have the legal and moral rights to exercize the power that comes with being an employer. Now you figure it out and also I advise you to have as less as possible things in life you can say about - I can't believe. Believe.

If you're saying the Bulls let up their intensity so much that it seems they're point shaving, well, that doesn't surprise me. Miami's Wade and Bosh played like such crap on Monday that Spo benched them for the 4Q.

But anyway, whatever. Onto more important stuff like tonight's slate. What do you think of LA being favored by 2 after Miami's beatdown of GS?

I would think that's a mistake. Clippers -17 on the road without CP3 is a mistake.

That is absolutely true. LVSC released the line at the Clippers -17. At 1:52 pm January 16 it was as such to the books who 8 hours later adjusted it to -5 and half an after that it was already -4.5

. Freak show. Have not a slightest idea what happened in LVSC.

Can't figure out why the Heat flew back to Miami after the game with Golden State, only to turn around and fly back for tonights game in LA. You think they would have some jet lag!

3-0 Yesterday. 5-1 overall.

Knicks vs Detroit Over 194.5 in early game.

NBA trying to promote game overseas and that's not done with defense, I expect a free flowing game. Last game 2 games in London 116-103 and 137-136 (3OT).

The game in London is more like an exhibition game for me. The teams won't play much defense. That is what everybody counts on and the line has been going up and up all the time. I do think thou that the game is going to be closer at the end. My lean is Over in the first half.

The NFL lines have been moving all day- Pats are now -8 -385

and their odds to win went from -110 to +105

First post. Thank you for all of the information. Although this game is overseas and NBA would like to promote a high scoring affair, I am a little worried about the extended time off for both teams, possible jet lag which might lead to both teams coming out flat. Any worries on that front? I imagine u feel the lack of defense will counteract any of these worries a's u have already made it a play.

I was looking at Knicks ML as well, but I have seen alot of posters here say it will be low defense and it will be close. I think this is a game I sit back and enjoy and at the end I'll p[robably say "boy am I glad I didnt bet it"

On a happier note, GL to everyone betting

With 3+ days rest this year:

Carmelo 34.2 ppg .489 FG%
JR Smith 23.7 ppg .519 FG%

That's good enough for me. Plus will be a pro-Knicks crowd considering size of fan bases, and who is more likely to have people in London.
