    I had an account with Bovada back when it was Bodog. They're not bad. I've heard good things about Pinnacle and 5Dimes too.

    Yeah, the total was a little too high for my taste given how poorly the Bulls play against elite teams and how they also have a tendency to turn the game ugly. Thibs is a disciple of JVG after all. Even when they got blown out by Miami a few games ago, they turned the game ugly and the under cashed. Also, Hinrich is still out and Deng is on a 35 mpg limitation. I haven't bet the over on a Bulls game this entire season. I'm 3-0 on betting the under in Chicago games. Look for the Bulls to play much better next game. That's been the pattern for them lately... Blown out at Denver and win at Utah next day... Blown out by Miami and blow out the Bobcats the next day... We'll see if the trend continues...Might be worth a wager.

    I couldn't make it in time to bet on the Spurs to cover the spread so I chased my earlier loss with a parlay on the OKC game. I was able to at least recover most of the $55 I lost on Golden State. I didn't make it in time for the OKC game either and had to do an in-game wager after a few minutes had passed, which adds a little extra juice (-115 vs -110) for the books so the payout is a little less, but a win is a win. I'm either 2-1 or 3-1 in this thread so far depending on how you calculate parlay victories.

    Awesome, keep posting your picks. Nothing square about going 7-1-1 ats. I'll try to post my picks earlier too. Sucks that the weekend is over and I have to get back to the real world. I can't spend as much time being a degen. Early leans for me for tomorrow so far are Detroit +2, Washington +4.5, Utah -6.5, and Denver -6.

    4-2 I think here....That's damn good on totals.

    I rather deal with a local than dealing with depositing and withdrawing money through 5dimes, bovada, etc. And the good thing is everything is web based. Hit me up for more info if you're interested.

    Hmm for some reason I'm not seeing your email?

    Edit: Nevermind. I'm too impatient.

    Here are my plays for today:

    Wizards +6
    Hawks -3.5 (Brandon Knight remains a game-time decision and Bynum is suspended and Drummond is out)
    Utah -7.5 (Not too confident about this one... seems a little high. Celtics have a few days off after this game and Doc did a good job of managing their mins last night)
    Lakers +7.5 (I don't trust the Lakers, but they might be able to keep it close with Gallinari hurting. Spread here seems a little too high as well).
    Lakers/Nuggets total under 218

    I'm liking the Nuggets tonight. Lakers are hot and line is way to high. Seems like a trap into picking the Lakers.

    Yeah, I just might have fallen into that trap. I'm thinking Denver either wins a close one or it's a Nuggets blowout.

    If anyone likes betting College, Marquette looks like a good play tonight. Syracuse is going down.

    Seton Hall looks like a nice play tonight. Villanova should win easily, but that's not gonna happen. Taking Seton Hall(+4.5) and The Boston Celtics (+7.5).

    you're looking good tonight. got both the wizards and the hawks.

    lol. of all people here, I don't think you should let my picks influence yours. at least through 1.5 quarters, that game is on pace for the over. long way to go though.

    grats, you're 2-0 in the thread now. lookin' sharp.

    Nice work... 3-0? Do you prefer betting college or NBA?

    Thanks!

    Small slate today, but we got 8 games to choose from tomorrow night! 2 of them involve 15 pt favs lol (MIA & LAC). Seems like this thread is starting to pick up a little bit of steam... keep the winners comin'!

    I prefer college over the nba because once a team goes into tank mode, you don't know when they want to play. College kids(well most) will try their hardest. This year the tourney should be crazy cause there is no clear cut dominate team. Which makes it fun betting cause you just pick the weak lines that Vegas is trying to lure you into playing and play the opposite. Nice thread. Keep the plays coming fellas.
