What do you guys think of this strategy

rscl31 · Jun 10, 2004

Haven't gotten any replies in the NBA forum thought i'd post here.

thanks

I really do not think this game should be bet. It's basically a pick em so you'd think the home team but keep this in mind.

Detroit has dropped important games at home in all 3 series

Game 2 vs Milwaukee
Game 5 vs NJ
Game 4 vs Indiana

Larry Brown's team did the same thing with Philly couple years back, not won game 1, but i mean just throw away home court whenever they had it. I do not think this Pistons team represents much value at home because of their inconsistency there. I would not lay a dime on the Lakers either.

So here's what i'm doing. I figure these two scenarios will not happen

a) Lakers winning all 3. Do not tell me they did it a coupe years back, that was a much better team then this years' Lakers and they were up against a much inferior opponent who was very banged up.

b) Detroit winning all 3. Never been done before.

So i'm taking the Game 3 loser and if for some reason they lose game 4 too, i'll double up on game 5.

So if Det wins game 3, take Lakers game 4.
If Lakers win game 3, take Detroit game 4.

I just think this is the best strategy as many tangibles play in both teams favor in game 3. Detroit is not invincible at home, Lakers not great on the road.

Take it for what it's worth.

That's what stinks about having so many forums. The owner of the Rx needs to decide reach a happy medium. We need a variety of catagories but too many causes posts to languish and results in frustration for the poster. This is what happens in the lifespan of an Rx poster. They first start off just in the Rx section posting about sports then they get bored and start posting non sports stuff on the offshore forum. It's to be expected. The rubber room should be further up towards the top of the page in addition to maybe four main categories. If the forum is too busy then the post will quickly go to page 2 and you will get a limited number of responses. Does any moderator care to respond with something other than "we will look into it"?

all i can really say about all this is...

" I can't believe how great Borat's english has improved"

How does he do it? I mean, one post he sounds like a guy who just got off the boat, while the next minute, he sounds like an english professor from Yale. I've never met anyone as inconsistent with the english language like our old pal, Borat Sagdiwhatever...

i agree with both of you (i think

) in the NBA forum there are not very many posts if at all for tonights game. this would at least be something. . . .perhaps becuase it is the finals?
