we've got a perfect spot to play ML parlay with only 2 games on the board. @ the current numbers, we're looking at about -137/-138 juice which is a value considering the situation.

I'm not sure what the stats are for the home team evening up the series in Game 2s, but I reckon it's gotta be pretty high?

Nice hit on DEN btw!

thanks

playoff stats after home loss and next game at home...(not only after game 1)
60% SU winners 44-27 last 5 years (chances of b2b home losses 40%)
69% SU winners 22-12 last 3 years (chances of b2b home losses 31%)
78% SU winners 7-2 last year. (chances of b2b home losses 22%)

I think there's some value in these numbers

I'm going to parlay the 2 ML. The ML juice is too much on BOS alone. Maybe the SAS ML is affordable on its own but still high for my taste. The spread is too tight for me to call on either game. I still like the CHI/BOS game to go over the total but the trends in this situation calls for an under play. The total for the DAL/SAS gm is also sending mixed signals. Maybe it should be a day off but 82% laying -137 is not a bad play.

my quote above is prolly not worth that much since all four of the ATS winners in 2006 were on one day rest also.

what i would like to know is the seedings of the games you referred to the last five years. specifically, how a #2 bounced back (boston) at home.

laker game went as expected a blowout/ last minute backdoor cover, denver even more impressive, wtf happened to orlando i'm always happy to see the team lose outright if they can't cover for me, but an 18 point lead???
Ax, the only thing i would warn on the sat/dfw game is that all the teams in the west 2-8 are almost even.any of these teams could have been #2 or #8. So to think that the spurs are better team than they showed on saturday might not be realistic. they looked old out of sink defense is not there anymore.Dallas is a hot team with alot of confidence. i'm probably wrong , but i think the game goes the same way. spurs with adjustments , but dallas the quicker and more balanced team. This barea kid is a real difference maker . dampier looks as good as he ever has. howard, terry. Dallas might even sweep them..I still believe that the spurs have to control and slow down the pace to have a chance which could lead to a possible under play , but either way i think dallas is gonna be there.
Remember last year the world played every game with boston giving points to atlanta.Every game boston was favored by 10ish and we thought every time that this was gonna be the blowout. it never came . this is chicago's championship nothing to lose. The c's cannot win on their name alone nor can they win with just rondo and perkins.
seems like the sharps or casinos are wanting us to take dallas as it is 60%-40% public ,with the point spread going from 5.5 up to 6..
i like dallas+6
leaning on chicago ,with an open eye for any suggestions might just stay away ...

Overall momentum ultimately may favor both the Bulls and Mavericks, but the Celtics and Spurs will have an air of desperation in trying to equalize the series, having surrendered home court advantage. Heading into the opposition's arena at 1-1 will lend a modicum of optimism whereas at 0-2, it's mentally and emotionally disheartening.

Are the Celtics sub par w/o Garnett as minister of defense? Yes. Do the Spurs look like the oldest club in the league and offensively challenged w/o the improvisational ability of Ginobili and a healthy Duncan? Yes. But both are veteran-laden squads who know that tonight is now the critical game in the series.

Accuscore Playoff Record:

Sides 4-4
Totals 4-4

Boston by 10.1 and 192.5
Spurs by 2.0 and 185.6

Personally like Both Unders here in this spot and will play them both.

Tough loss to swallow on the Magic the other night, up 18 going into the 4th, but the ole NBA got me again :p :moon:

Just a quick note and question.

8 games played, Vegas is under the impression defense will tighten up and the games have trended to the under but as we seen O/U 7-1 over the weekend. Do "they" bump the opening lines up and give us a better chance at the under? Now that the teams are playing for the second time and adjusted their defense better to match their opponent could we see more unders in the 2nd games? Just throwing it out there for some feed back. GL to all!!

:topic: Anyone know a good book for Nascar stuff. Looking for matchups and to picks winners for the race but I need something easy to use as well. Checked a few listed here on MJ and so far I think the WSEX site looks the best. Ax, thanks for the email back just going to dig into it this week to see if it's something I should do or not. Thank you for any help in advance.:confused:

I think game 2s are more likely to go under since coaches will make defensive adjustments(looking at you portland) and vegas should give better values after almost every game going over.

So any ideas on the Mavs Spurs Under?

If you cap the Spurs win you have to believe it goes Under and if you

Cap the Spurs to Cover the Under is an easy cover.

Anybody?

Ax or anyone tell me again why we don't like the under in the Bulls/C's game. Only reason went over on Sat. was O.T. . I understand only 14 pts were scored in the O.T. but man as I said earlier with tighter defense I can see the C's really needing this win and the only way for them to do it is D. Anyone give me a reason not to and I may think about it. I don't see the line going down so I will wait closer to game time it "L" in. GL everyone!!!:00hour
