What is the better line Ted

SA -1 -112

or

SA pk -118

Savant:

I would prefer SA -1 -112. If the Spurs win, you do no worse than a push. Don't think it is worth the extra vig to assure that if the Spurs win, they also cover.

Ted - GL tonight, the Spurs look like a nice play tonight.

B&G:

Thanks for the well wishes. Just as with the Spurs game against Sacramento, I don't expect this one to be easy, although that game unexpectedly turned out easier then I anticipated. Expect a tough low scoring game in this spot tonight. Good luck on your plays tonight as well.

its apparent that someone likes to bet the spurs.. i do also ted, i may take them as well tonight (it really depends on the ML parlay that i played). if its a winner then i might sit it out.. spurs are in middle of long 7 game road trip.. dont think they will tire, parker looked great last friday.. ted, some really big trend plays tonight (dallas, celtics, nuggets) did you notice those?

SSI:

I did notice the trends particularly the Celtics, problem was I had a lean to the Cavaliers believe it or not. Plus the line opened at the Stardust at -3 and has moved to -4. Lost value. As for the Spurs, not afraid to ride a quality team that gives you the same effort night in and night out, particularly defensively.

SSI, are yuo gonna use some of your contest money to get down on that prop I was telling you about by email...very strong bet I would argue...have you seen those movies? also have to factor that he was passed up for parts 1 & 2...

SSI · Feb 9, 2004

yes, im going to take jackson for best director. the awards are the 29th, correct?

SportSavant · Feb 9, 2004

yup but dont know how long that line will be up for...I am agonizing as to wether or not to post up there...that line is a gimmee...You can get that he will not win for + 405 at Pinny right now...I already have alot on that he will win at -240 (bet at wwts) when it first came out...Thanks to the way pinny posts their prop bets I always have an out...this situation however has me perplexed...IF HE LOST I WOULD BE SHOCKED...as he was passed up for part I & II...
