    Please don't bet a lot of money! What I'm doing I like to call "investing" and not "betting", since betting sounds too much like gambling. I'm using only 5% of my total money on each bet, so even if I hit a big losing streak I'll be ok in the long term.

    Yeah luckily Toronto saved us. PHX should win by a landslide, but they were just so bad and sloppy last night. I'm not sure i would peg this game as an anomaly, but it's pretty close. Houston's though got a deep bench.

    Pinnacle sports usually releases game lines around 6-7 pm my time, which is rougly 7-8 hours from now.

    Have y'all looked at the regular season wins lines yet?

    They have the Heat at 44. I like the under.

    For today I have nothing. The odds are nice, but realistically very little chance for success:

    NYK vs PHI: I don't see PHI winning this one, especially after NYK's last loss.
    MIL vs CLE: No was MIL wins.
    ATL vs MIA: That's the closest I see, but I still think Atlanta's chances are quite bad.
    HOU vs NOP: Maybe yes, maybe no...don't feel it (HOU is huge underdog based on odds). HOU got lucky and caught Phoenix on the wrong foot, but I don't think it happens again against NOP, especially without Harden and Howard.
    MEM vs OKL: I don't think Memphis will win against OKL, they are terrible so far.

    I mean if you want to play, try ATL and HOU...but I won't lay any bets tonight.

    Who would say Wade and Bosh play 30 min and still lose against ATL? Nice win, but too much of a gamble for me.

    Today I have nothing. It seems like bookies have adjusted their odds at last and we don't get easy money any more. Too bad :)

    Preseason BB lines are much better than FB the last couple weeks, go against the Lakers and take the under is always good choices (even for their win last night, its just a fluke and they were down by 20 in the first half).

    Tonight I like the Mavs and Hawks, they both playing at home. While the Hawks confirmed they will play full starter lineup and the Hornets are coming off a b2b, for the other game, Mavs rested all their started on the last game because of b2b, so I expect they will be playing their starters major minutes this game.

    Sorry I was out for the weekend. Today I have:

    CHI vs CLE @2,58
    MIL vs NYK @2,36
    CHA vs ATL @2,59
    SAC vs SAS @2,7

    I think we could hit at least two, the most likely should be Chicago and Milwaukee. Thibs is playing hard no matter what game it is, and NYK is a mess.

    I went big on Wizards under 48.5 wins this season. They won 44 games last season and they will be without Beal for 2 months and lost Ariza and gained a fat old Pierce. Plus the East got stronger.
