Abnormality's NBA08/09 picks

[Abnormality]

7-3 on NBA, 4-1 on NFL on my spread bets so far since starting this evil habit last week

So I'd like to be able to use this topic as a log from here on. NBA will most likely be my strong suit, so I'll just be keeping a log for just my NBA. WAS LATE POSTING THIS, SO MY LINES WILL BE DATED THIS TIME, BUT FROM NOW ON I WILL TRY TO POST HERE AT THE EXACT MOMENT I PUT MY BETS IN.

Current Logged Record
0-0-0 +0 units

11/24 Tues

CLE -6.5 (3 units)
GS -1 (4 units)
PHX -10 (1 unit)


I know this isn't fair as a suggestion post, so in the current state of the lines, I would still pick the Cavs at -9, but maybe only at 1-2 units. GS I would still keep at 4 units for -2.5.
Will register my original picks from today in my logged record though, if that's ok with you all?

And I'm completely new to this whole sports betting thing, so cut me some slack if ignorant on certain terms/specifics :>Grin>

CLE -6.5 (+3 units) WIN
GS -1 (-4 units) LOSS
PHX -10 (-1 unit) LOSS


Could've been much worse. I know teams play really well the game after the coach gets fired, but I didn't think this would be one of those cases, as I didn't think the players necessarily despised Eddie Jordan. Leave it to Golden State to prove me wrong! Think I should just stop betting on GS games.. hno:

Also adding..

PHX -4 (3 units)

 

[Abnormality]

And..

SAN -7 (1 unit)
SAC -3 (2 units)

 

[Abnormality]

Damn I am trigger happy today.... Now I regret taking Orlando at 2units too early now that Nelson is out....but I would still take em even so after the fact, but only at 1 unit. I still feel Philly is a bit overrated, and I don't really think they are due, like some others think. Andre Miller seems to have begun his downturn to his career this year, and that is killing them (or maybe came back to reality from his play, the 2nd half of last year..).


MIL +7 (1 unit)
DEN -4 (2 units)

 

[Abnormality]

Will update my record on my next post, looks like i might have had a decent day even with all these plays at once, need Denver at least to come through....

Will take it a bit easier on units probably for a bit, been too aggressive to start out...

But posting an early play for tommorow

11/27 Thursday

ORL -3.5 (1 unit)

I can't hold back any longer from being a homer more often, and to now not hesitate to pick the Cavs way more often. They are lighting the league on fire, and...... not letting up one bit, which they used to be extremely prone to doing in previous seasons.

And -12 should be something of a line they get at a home game, when playing a good but not great team such as Dallas or Atlanta, not one of the weaker teams like Golden State. GS can be possible giant killers, but not against the Cavs' style of play. Seems like the Cavaliers are still under the radar, as far as how elite they truly are now.

Won't bet my life savings (though probably should..), just a lot more units than usual.

My first plays for Friday

11/28 Friday

CLE -12 (6 units)
MIN -2 (1 unit)

 

[Abnormality]

BOS -9 (2 units)

CHA +7.5 (1unit)

 

[Abnormality]

Ok, just a word to the wise... Even if for some ungodly reason, I get on a hot streak, I wouldn't be to first to suggest that it's reasonable to tail me!

I'm making some more picks now......
for SATURDAY already!:coke:

11/29 Saturday
NJ +8.5 (1 unit)
MIA +1 (1 unit)
CLE -7 (1 unit)
OKC +7.5 (1 unit)
ATL +1 (1 unit)


Might lean Denver for tommorow as well... at -3.5 for me currently, possibly could take it at that but feel I can wait on it for some reason...

Some of these lines may get worse for me if I wait for later tonight I feel, that's why I'm taking 1 unit on each of them now. Hope that will be the case... and what could be even worse is if I get screwed over by an injury or something by taking them already :missingte

 

[Abnormality]

Lot of close calls! The line makers did a good job today, and were hard to defeat, but I prevailed big time in the end.

The Cavs garbage players almost gave me a scare... I was afraid that could possibly happen, since they took so much of a lead in the 3rd quarter that they would end up resting up their main weapons, most of the 4th qtr to be ready for their back to back in Milwaukee.... but a bit too early for my own good:shocked:

But I'd rather not be that gambler who ends up cheering a lot for those dog teams in blowouts to make the final score look less disgraceful.....that's not the motivation I want from the team I have my money riding on!
