Anyone taking Sacramento on the ML tonight?

quantumleap · Feb 9, 2012

I'm currently seeing it at around +240. I usually don't play ML's. Sac has covered their last 6 in a row so I think I'll play it safe with the spread.

Anyone else?

Im playing the spread

Only play should be OKC - 6 1/2. OKC to much for the Kings.

You're right Bleeder. That +240 doesn't seem to pay enough for a 6 1/2 point spread. I rarely play ML's unless it's around a 1-point spread.

Looks like you and the rest of the world are making that bet.

i like okc by dd. but this is like their third straight road game. road chalk on the back end of a trip can be tough

Sac is just so bad, hard for me to put money on them..

Bleeder · Feb 9, 2012

Love seeing so much confidence in the road fave. Dont like going against the Kid since he knows his stuff but.... Last game of the night people chasing...etc...Just prefer the home dog in this spot. Agree on paper that OKC should beat them easily but this games falls in line with how I play regardless of who the teams are.

Excellent point about being the last game of the night and people chasing. Also, it's the second game on TNT so it will have national exposure. I think I'll wait until just before game time to place my bet.

What does that have to do with what team is going to win?

ThePokerPsycho · Feb 9, 2012

I like OKC Money Line in a parlay. OKC hasnt been playing we well lately...but I don't think they will lose 3 in a row. (Yes I saw what happened in Portland...OKC didn't win that game. The refs won it for them) And I remember OKC lost in LA too...so I think this is a win for OKC no matter what way you look at it. Have to stay away from the spread tho...as those things are rigged. It could be a coin flip

If the books thought there was a good chance OKC would cover they would adjust to a better line for Sacramento and against OKC so more people would be Sac. Instead, the line has gone from -7 to -6 1/2 for OKC.

QL,

Hope you unloaded on this game. Thanks for the alert.

kidman232 · Feb 10, 2012

nice call. way too many turnovers for okc and they got crushed on the boards. okc beat okc tonight, they have been escaping by luck of late, maybe this will get them to clean some things up. nice hit if u played it

Nice hit q

FYI, you had a nice sucker bet opportunity on the 2nd half of this game. Pinny was offering OKC @ -5.5 +101. Bodog was offering the Kings at +6

I unloaded on the +6 1/2. Biggest bet this year by 1/3rd.

83% of the public lost on the spread.

Thanks Shub. This more than makes up for the Golden State loss 2 nights ago.
