Yao out again - Sports handicapping Forum

knuckles1 · 02-26-2008, 02:27 PM

Yao is out for year again,line was 12.5 down to Wash+10,I took it as it has to be worth a bet,plus Houston has to lose sometime.Only bad thing is Wash.just went into NO as 10 point dogs and won outright so hoping they dont have a let down,GL if you bet it,some guys are taking the ML,but Houston is solid,but the winning streak has to end sometime.

knuckles1 · 02-27-2008, 03:09 PM

I think that was a bad spot to take Wash.,just beat NO on the road and have played a few on road,but Houstons next game is hopefully against a decent team and I will try again,what was that 14 in a row.Should end soon,dont see them going 27-0 rest of year,lol

knuckles1 · 03-01-2008, 04:23 PM

Does Houston plan on losing again this year?Also the 2 games Ive bet on in this streak,1 on 1 against,I lost them both,lol.
Ats should start a contest to pick when Houston will lose,now that Ive said all this I think I will bet against them today,lol

knuckles1 · 03-03-2008, 02:51 PM

Good thing I didnt bet against Houston,they are on a roll for sure.

knuckles1 · 03-06-2008, 12:15 PM

So I lost on Ind.last night,lol should I try Dallas tonight?maybe just not sure if Kidd makes them better,it sures seems like Yao being out has not slowed houston at all,but this cant last all season,so Dallas it is.

knuckles1 · 03-06-2008, 12:27 PM

Well now Dirk is out for this game,but the funny thing is why is Dallas still the fav?Im going to wait and see if everyone bets Houston and makes Dallas a dog,then bet them.
Anyone know what he did to get susp.?

knuckles1 · 03-10-2008, 02:36 PM

So the the question is,will Houston lose this year again,lol Sure cant take the Nets tonight,so watch that be the one.
Im 0-2 trying to bet the game they lose,plus they covered.

husker · 03-10-2008, 02:44 PM

they aren't just winning, they are blowing teams out!

knuckles1 · 03-10-2008, 02:49 PM

I know,are they really this good?
Might be worth a future bet to win the championship,they sure look like they can come out of west,only team that they would lose to,imo is the Spurs.

husker · 03-10-2008, 09:03 PM

i was never a kobe fan, but he is the best player in the league. he has good players around him now. teams with a dominant player that can score down the stretch, and has the ball in their hands, are very hard to beat in he playoffs.

knuckles1 · 03-11-2008, 02:48 PM

As a Warriors fan I tend to put the Lakers out of my thoughts,Gasol was a nice steal for sure,but imo the key is if they get Bynum back at the level he was playing,he is a big guy in the middle to kept the guards from driving to the hoop on them for easy baskets.
But the only problem I have with Lakers is besides KOBE,they dont seem to play an all out effort on defence like Spurs and Pistons type teams.Now they can put up 120 whenever they want it seems so that might not be all bad,but add Bynum back in the mix and they could beat anyone,yes I hate to admit that!!Gasol was not knowed for defence,but now on a good team that might be different too.good call husker,hope they lose though,lol

knuckles1 · 03-12-2008, 02:39 PM

All right,its tonight-Atl+5.5 and maybe some M/L,Atl is a decent home team and Joe puts up 40 and the winning stops for awhile,maybe lol

knuckles1 · 03-13-2008, 11:25 AM

real small bet on the M/L,to small to count but it lost,should have bet the M/L on FH,but dont have that,but Atl.did win the FH by 1,lol.
Ive lost track,20?in a row.

knuckles1 · 03-15-2008, 12:55 PM

Well Houston is getting ready to lose,ONLY beat Char.by 8,88-80,shit they can win anyway,slow it done or play up-tempo,they dont care.
They do have a tuff set of games on deck,so it should be this comming week.
22 is a awesome run,congrats to Houston fans.

knuckles1 · 03-17-2008, 02:51 PM

OK,Boston going to end it?
T-Mac points in FH against LAL-0,Houston up by 15.
My guess is they are not a 2 man team.

knuckles1 · 03-18-2008, 10:06 PM

OK its over!
Armani Celtics took care of Biz tonight,now I have to find something else to talk to myself about,lol
Maybe they start a losing streak,they have to play my Warriors next.

knuckles1 · 03-21-2008, 02:31 PM

Actually they lost to NOH before they play the Warriors today,that forth 1/4 against NO was what I was thinking was going to happen to them after Yao went out,if the Warriors are hitting their 3s tonight it could be another big lost for Houston,Go Warriors they need every win they can get,that west is unreal,16 games over 500 and they cant afford to lose many more games.

knuckles1 · 03-22-2008, 01:11 PM

Well the refs decided to play a small part in the Warriors lost,at the end of the game with Houston up by 1 I think,R Alston traveled and the ref was in front of him and did what refs are paid to do,nothing,now Im not saying the Warriors would have won because in a 1 point game they were throwing up 3s which was stupid because they did not need a 3.
But down 1 with the ball is a big diff.then Houston up 1 with ball.
Man I watch to many games at work,lol

knuckles1 · 03-24-2008, 03:21 PM

Warriors up at HT against LAL,71-49.
I had under 233.5 for 50 which I thought was gone ,BUT because the Warriors have to shoot 3s no matter the score so in the third 1/4 they went 2 for 15 and then it was a 5 point game,and I had 66 points in last 1/4 for the under.
Lakers injuries are starting to hurt now,think they are falling now in seeding for playoffs now.
Can the Warriors beat them 2 days in a row?

knuckles1 · 04-09-2008, 01:34 PM

just curious has anyone cleaned up on the Rockets this year?
other than few bets I made going against them during winning streak,have really stayed away from them other than few second half bets,unders mostley.
just wondering if someone jumped on their backs when they were hot,I usually do but in this case I didnt.

knuckles1 · 04-15-2008, 02:12 PM

Houston is dead in the playoffs,the way Denver manhandle them in a must win game,I will make a series bet against Houston in FR,dont care who they play,their done!

knuckles1 · 04-19-2008, 01:10 PM

I did not expect Utah to be -240 for series,man they must have pounded Utah when it came out,might be more than I want to pay.

knuckles1 · 04-23-2008, 12:40 PM

It looks like I was right about Houston,but did not expect them to get sweep.Can Houston win 1 in Utah? the team with the best home record,I dont think so.Good By no playing 4th 1/4 T-Mac.

knuckles1 · 04-24-2008, 05:12 AM

well now you can get Utah for the nice series price of-2000,lol
and I didnt want to pay 240 juice,again lol

Tree · 04-24-2008, 10:20 AM

I took PHL +850 for the series, still a good bet with the series at 1-1 and going back to Philly... they have played DET tough all season (except game 2)....

knuckles1 · 04-24-2008, 03:09 PM

I think that was by far the best value and chance for upset,thing that turned me off was the way they ended the season,also the game 1 win might have had to do with Det.playing
