Any reason to not be all over Charlotte +1 today?

Charlotte by far the better team, beat Cleveland once already soundly this year.

RE: CHA/CLE

I think that this may be one of those "If it looks too good to be true..." lines, kind of like the NY/MIA game last night which I got suckered into. I started to get a bad feeling just before the start of that game when I didn't see anyone posting that they liked MIA but seeing the line go to NY +1.

A couple of reasons:

1. Due due to some wierd scheduling, these two teams play again tomorrow night in CHA. If CLE wants to win one of these two it better be today because CHA is really tough at home (10-3). CLE can't afford to lose both and stay in the playoff hunt.

2. The LVSC early line was CLE -2. Makes me wonder.

FWIW I played the Total. I got there early and got Over 130.5. I posted my rationale at MW.

Hello,
This is my first post here, but I've been a follower of madjack's for a long time and I'm usually too busy to post I've been doing pretty well in the wnba so far this year so here are my 2 cents. I agree with superbook that this game looks exactly the same as the liberty and sol game the other night. Books want you to jump on charlotte as a pk, but cleveland will win this game just like the sol did 2 night ago. I will be on cleveland today and then charlotte tomorrow at home. This is crazy scheduling if you ask me, a home and home series on back to back days with both games at 12pm??? Oh well I like it though!!! Good luck to everyone :p

Welcome aboard, always great to have new people here.

I took <b>Charlotte +1.5</b>. I looked at the numbers a couple of times and at best, find it to be a very close game. I will take the better team getting points. Going to be a close game I think either way.

Will also take Charlotte pk H1

Phillyfanatic -- welcome, appreciate your thoughts.

Ace -- no question that CHA looks to be the play. I'm laying off, maybe I'll play at the half.

CLE just can't score. In reviewing the Total, I'm going with the middle: Over 130.5 and Under 133.5. Say a prayer for me.

Middles rule.

Last night in my international macroeconomics theory class (insert snoring sounds here) we talked for an hour about middles having to do with how exchange rates are set and monitored and the prospect if the spread is too big of a bank getting middled on the rates. Pretty much the only time I will get to participate the entire semester as I got to give a 5 minute dissertation on what a middle is. :D

Hope you get an A in that class.

My rule of thumb is 3 points for middles. May be different for WNBA as I haven't had much luck with them so far this season. I've hit one so far: a push and a win. And that was on something like a 9 point middle earlier this year.

FWIW I broke down and took CHA too.

Im rooting for you.

Braves score six in the top of the 1st...afternoon starting nicely

I love seeing things like:

2:41 CHA - A. Feaster misses a 4-foot jumper in the lane

2:24 CLE - C. Melvin misses a 3-foot jumper in the lane

I think some of those descriptions on the internet play-by-play are a little deceiving. They seem to miss a lot of layups and 4 footers, but in truth the shooter probably has five defenders on top of her and she's trying to make a turn-around jump shot. These girls are pretty good open court shooters. Not as bad as the play-by-play makes them seem.

Any thoughts on LA/POR?

No real play on this game. Portland has been hot lately, though LA is virtually unbeatable at home. Maybe a ML play here on LA, but for now laying off to watch baseball.
