You know, I just happened to think about this. Usetabe (where I come from that means a while ago) when I was sitting around with other gamblers, one of my favorite lines was, "an old capper used to tell me". Actually it was more than one old capper. It dawns on me that today, I am that old capper. Pretty depressing. But, as and old capper used used to tell me, "you're only as old as you feel". Pretty smart man.

This is worth calling to your attention. In my opinion, the week before the All-Star break is one of the, if not the, toughest times to try to cap the NBA. Their concentration is not what it should be. Of course in the NBA, a lot of them's concentration is never what it should be for what they are paid. Just approach this week very carefully and don't be surprised by anything that happens.

Be back with the leans shortly.

Like an old capper used to say, "Vegas giveth and Vegas taketh away........more than they giveth"

This is going to be a bad night so watch yourself. In a hurry so on to the real plays.

Den + 13'
Mia o 174'

Like Hou and wouldn't touch either side in Bos. Looks like Vegas wants Bos money. Prediction is that these 3 go 2-1. Hou u, Phoe o, and Sac o.

Good luck everyone

Should have played my prediction. Idiot capper goes 0-2. Prediction goes 3-0. I just don't like money.

I know the feeling man. I kick myself for not playing my leans sometimes. I usually get "gut feelings" on money lines from time to time that turn out to be winners quite often. I can never pull the trigger on them and they end up hitting. From what I've seen in my short time here, you always seem to have a lot to offer. What are your feelings on playing money lines?

Dragon, a lot of us can't play money lines. But, like I told Nick night before last, (not like I can tell Nick anything) when he was playing Det +1 or 2 (can't remember which) the money line is the only way to go. If Det pulls the line they will win. Why pay juice when if they win you get +105. There are other times when the odds make the money line worth while, like Nick's Cle play the other night. Cle had a real shot at winning at home and the odds made it a good bet. Sometimes playing on the moneyline, and taking the points both, makes good sense. Moneylines are like playing pars. Remember, you are getting odds so don't think you should win every play. Pick your spots and the moneyline in the NBA can be better than bb.

Like moneylines as well, but sometimes, they leave you shaking your head.

Had Cleveland the other night and figured, either they lose by more than 1.5 or win, so who needs the 1.5. You know the rest of the story.
