    Dammit wish i didn't chicken out on doubling down my 49ers winning bet with warriors +8.5.
    On the other hand so glad i didn't bet Rockets +4.5

    Liking Dallas (-3) @ Charlotte, Phoenix (-1) @ Boston and Clippers +190. Probably will make a play on Philly (-17) @ San Antonio as well because that's just an absurd spread and Philly has actually fared pretty well against the spread this year.

    J Sizzle. I like the mavs play you've selected. Going to look at the details a little closer but the Hornets have sucked this year so i'll probably get in on that with you.

    The OU for Nuggets/Cavs and Suns/Celtics are both at 216. Why do I feel like that's still not high enough.

    I like the Cavs to blow the Nuggets out by at least 15+.

    Might take Magic +4 and/or Pelicans ML.

    I am going with under 187 for the Rockets / Grizz game tonight.

    Don't think either team can score 90 pts plus.

    Rockets are really tired since came back from Mexico and they are not shooting well at all.

    Haha. Just using the recent clutchfans joke "are we just going to ignore....."

    Don't see anything tomorrow that catches my eye honestly. If that changes I'll be sure to share with my CF.net brothers.

    Thanks. I went with the suns and Mavs tonight.

    Would've bet on Memphis, but I just can't bring myself to bet against our guys

    Don't want to sound like an ahole but here goes....no one cares about your picks after the fact. let us know whats up before. Otherwise you're just bragging.

    You should be thanking me for not letting you know the Pistons pick before. That was a 1k loser. No way to let you know halftime bets for the most part man. Also, I highly doubt anyone is impressed by $670. Not like I cleaned house last night. Your entitled to your opinion though

    But, in the spirit of the thread, I like Knicks +3 initially tonight.

    I got you. I'm just saying I imagine people frequent this thread to get others picks beforehand. But you're right halftime bets are too quick to come and post about.

    It's all good. I see both sides of the equation. I normally post all my stuff on Sherdog but I will start posting it here as much as I can. I do think posting tickets are important because it helps you gauge who you are following. It's a lot easier to post a higher % if you're betting $5 a game as opposed $500 or more. Then you have the people who post their picks and never produce a ticket who you naturally have to assume are trolling or just using a thread as a pick'em
