    I am betting one unit on each of these games:

    Indiana +3 @ Phoenix
    New Jersey -1 @ Utah


    Anyone else going to get in on these games?

    New Jersey favored at Utah?? You gotta be sh*tt*ng me...The only way you'll get easier money is if you found it on the sidewalk...

    I don't know about the Phoenix game. They blew out Dallas at home and only lost by four to the Lakers...You don't know which team will show up...

    Other lines today are as follows:

    Memphis +4.5 @ Boston
    Detroit -2.5 @ NY Knicks
    San Antonio -7.5 @ LA Clippers


    I like the Detroit line, but McDyess is returning tonight so I am not sure how that will affect the rest of the Knicks players. Plus, the Knicks basically shut down New Orleans at home on Saturday.

    I like to wait at least a month into the season before I start betting...

    Are you saying that you think NJ is easy money or that Utah is easy money?

    You are betting on the away team in both games?

    Also I'm thinking about joining a Christmas special at my bookie where they give out bonuses and draw winners from all participants.

    They give you one object to bet on each day until christmas and you can particpate as often as you like, but the more you do the merrier. Only problem is todays selected match is an NHL game and I know nothing about NHL.

    Philadelpia at Ottawa - Result in regular play:

    Ottawa: 2.20 x the bet
    Draw: 4.00 x the bet
    Philadelphia: 2.70 x the bet

    With these numbers what is my best bet? I'm leaning towards Philly or a draw, but as I said - I know nothing :)

    I might pick a bet for the NBA games to - will let you know here.

    Damn, you got me back into betting on sports games.

    Here is the bet I made (combination bet, had to translate):

    1 NBA Basketball Lines Detroit Pistons v New York Knicks Total points scored will be LESS than 177.5 - 1.9091
    2 NBA Basketball Lines Indiana Pacers v Phoenix Suns Indiana Pacers Handicap Winner +3 - 1.9091
    3 NBA Basketball Lines Indiana Pacers v Phoenix Suns Total points scored will be MORE than 176.5 - 1.9091
    4 NBA Basketball Lines San Antonio Spurs v Los Angeles Clippers San Antonio Spurs Handicap Winner -4 1.9091

    If all these things happen, I would get 13.2833 of what I put in.

    Wish me luck, thanks :D.

    This game is far from a LOCK...

    Titans give up the second most passing yards in the NFL right behind Atlanta...

    I wouldn't be surprised if Pennington carves up this Titan secondary...

    So far the only bet I came up with for tonight is the under for the MNF game (42).

    Best of luck to all.

    Damn, I should have put all my money and then some on Detroit vs. New York ending up below 177 points...6 minutes to go, and they are just at 122 points...that one is looking good so far.

    Any thoughts on the Spurs/Clippers game? Spurs should be able to bring this home with a larger difference than just 4 points, no?

    If not, I'm screwed!

    Looks like the suspension of Duncan is the thing that screw you over. Clippers up 8 - 5:21 left in the 3rd.

    Jazz won so that is good though. (I also thought they would but not enough to put any money on it)

    My bet was good, but is was close. 41 points just beat the under of 42. I initially thought to bet on the Jets (to win), but as most in this thread thought the Titans I pulled out of that one.
