The Cleveland game stands out for me right away. You gotta think Cleveland will be able to beat Portland by 2 or more after being embarassed in L.A.

Houston (home) -2.5 against Utah.. Utah isn't good at home

Hornet (home) -6 against Nets

Suns (away) -5 against Knicks.. Phoenix is a better version of NY, and playing against D'antoni

These r the games im looking at right now. I feel very confident about Cleveland -1.5 at Portland.

GarrettKall said...

Well with the Hornets, West, Chandler, and Armstrong are OUT. Definitely lukewarm there

GarrettKall said...

Utah is Houston's thorn in the side, don't know about that one, especially since last time they needed Double OT, plus an outstanding performance by Artest, who's not playing. Plus besides Boozer, Utah's pretty healthy, though Kirilenko is doubtful

GarrettKall said...

best money bet to me is the celtics which I can't do

GarrettKall said...

i'm playing it safe again....

bobcats -3
celtics -3
pistons -2.5

5 to win 15.00

jazz +5
mavs -2
hornets -4.5

5 to win 30.00

GarrettKall said...

then if one hits put a money bet on one of the late games

GarrettKall said...

i just didn't have enough time to research everything enough, so didn't want to knee-jerk

GarrettKall said...

was a little unsure about dal/mil, but i wanted one 7:00 bet, and one 8:00 one

GarrettKall said...

am thinking about making Cleveland my money bet, though Portland is 15-4 at home, Z and West are still out, Cleveland average on the road. I know its extremely high, but i was thinking buying 3 and taking the Lakers at -13. They're playing a D-League team in the Clippers with everybody out

Evan said...

U might be right about the hornets, I cant believe ur betting against the heat!

GarrettKall said...

not loving any of my picks actually

GarrettKall said...

I really wanted to make Charlotte my money bet, but the more I think about it, I want to take advantage of the free preview this week. This might be the last time we get to see every team play frequently, so, I want to use this time to really watch the games without having alot of money at stake, which will only get me pissed off watching them, distracting me from what's going on. That way when we start putting some serious money on games, we'll have a better idea of what we are betting on. I respect the fact that I've barely seen most teams play outside of Heat games, so to think I'm just gonna come in and clean up shop, its being reallll naive and cocky. Now that I have about $100 in my account starting at $25, there's breathing room. Does what I say make sense?

I figure just do some parlays unless there's just a no brainer out there aching to get bet on. This will set us up for less mistakes going forward towards the 2nd half, when we get starting raking some serious dough.

I know its being overcautious, but, I think its just playing it smart.

GarrettKall said...

Jermaine O' Neal IS playing

GarrettKall said...

last bet

lakers -16
wizards +2.5
por/cle under 183

Evan said...

Ur site wasnt working for a while. I told u Houston would win

Evan said...

I dont even wanna tell u what i betted. I sucked. If cleveland wins it will even out and ill come out even

GarrettKall said...

I'll finish up on the day, if my late parlay hits though I'll be sitting real nice. NO/NJ and NY/Pho
both games where the coaches get revenge against their old teams. That's why I usually stay away from those games

GarrettKall said...

Should have known to stay away from Mil/Dal, both those teams are dr. jeckell and mr. hyde

GarrettKall said...

Villanueva is finally putting it together after all these years, 29and 10 with still 7 minutes left

GarrettKall said...

Marion played 8 minutes and O'Neal played 20

GarrettKall said...

Your Cleveland bet is looking good

Evan said...

U got any bets going on tonight??

Evan said...

I did a 2 team teaser.

LA -10
Orlando -1

GarrettKall said...

I just put in one college bet, 5 team parlay, 5 to win $80, I kinda like it

Evan said...

tell me ur my bet, i know nothing about college basketball but ill back u up on the bet

GarrettKall said...

FUCK, had 4 out of 5, the 5th needed to win by 4, won by 2

Evan said...

Damnn that sux, I lost my teaser too.

GarrettKall said...

tomorrow for sure gonna do a money bet...I'll be around 4ish, for real this time, with a new blog, ready to get that paper for real for real

GarrettKall said...

I'm thinking about taking Phoenix tomorrow and making that my money bet? What do you think?

GarrettKall said...

and I usually don't like an over/under being my money bet, but NY/Mem only 202?? First time they met the point total was 235, time before that was 244. What the hell does Vegas know that I don't?

GarrettKall said...

Kinda like New Orleans and Milwaukee a little too

GarrettKall said...

Minnesota has covered 9 of the last 10 spreads

GarrettKall said...

Spurs line isn't up yet but they've beat NJ 10 in a row

GarrettKall said...

Oklahoma should be able to handle the Clippers

GarrettKall said...

Damn I was going to tell you last night that based on everything I was reading out of Memphis's newspapers they were about to fire Ivanroni. Then bam!
