    New Member Plays - NBA SUNDAY

    Hey guys, I'm new here. I was reading up on some posts trying to get some further information about the Indiana line. I noticed that about 70% of the public is on the bulls and the line opened at +2.5 for Indiana and has dropped to 1.5. Seems like a trap line to me. I read that the Bulls have lost 16 of the 17 matchups or something close to that in Indiana. I think the oddsmakers expect Indiana to bring the same stingy defense they brought against the shorthanded heat the other night. I'm gonna hit Indiana hard here. I always catch lines like this and fail to pull the trigger. I thought the -2 in favor of miami against indiana was fishy but didn't bet it, and sure enough it was a blow out in favor of indiana.

    I'm also going to take Detroit -3 first half against Milwaukee. I know rasheed wallace is out, but milwaukee has some key players out as well. I was looking thru detroits last 10 games, and even when they lose they tend to be up by at least 3 at half. I think Detroit had a 3 point or more lead in 7 of the last 10, maybe it was more. I also think Detroit, albeit tired, will play hard to avoid a 3 game losing streak and try to hold off the surging cavs.

    I'm going to make a small play on phoenix and buy a point so taking them at -5.5. Phoenix has been all but reliable the last few games and who knows which team will show up tonight. I think they should be rested and hopefully marion steps up tonight as he has been lack luster lately i believe due to a foot injury.

    SAN ANTONIO SPURS -7.5 against Seattle. Seattle is without Ray Allen and really don't stand a chance. I expect a blow out, as the spurs will prevent any run and gun offense the supersonics may try to implement.

      Each play is to win the # of units posted unless it's a dog then I'm betting that amount.

          Don't ever lay 7.5 points with a team on the road. :thumbs:

              Yeah, it's not a 100% or anything, but away teams win by 8 or more points exactly 50% of the time. As such, even if the away team figures to win 100% of the time, they'll only do so by more than 7.5 points exactly 50% of the time, so you've already put yourself in a negative expectation. :thumbs:
