Is Gophers +9 at Michigan St a good play at all? I'm bored.

I'm not an expert but was just looking at that game. Michigan State hasn't won by less than 9 at home. That includes wins over Florida St.(by 16), Indiana(15), Iowa(34), and Purdue(25). I'm gonna play MSU.

The Wizards are the worst team in professional sports.

I take this back.

Bender, I was so impressed with Kim the other night when she took all my money, but I have to admit I know nothing about Azarenka. AZ is ranked #3; Kim #11, yet the match is virtually a pick 'em. Any thoughts?

The women's game is so tough to bet on because they don't hold serve nearly as much as the men. I'd love to see a percentage breakdown sometimes.

I get good feels on men's tennis bets based a lot of how well the guys serve (i.e. always betting strong on Isner in early rounds since his serve is virtually unbreakable by the qualifying scrubs).

I'll say this. Despite being ranked 3rd, Azarenka is still in the next tier of women without ever being a real threat of winning a major title (she's made it to the Semis of a major 1 time in 24 tries). Clijsters has the ability to be next level (won the Aussie Open last year) and way more potential. She's had a lot of time off is why she's being faded. If I was going to lay some scratch, I'd go with Clijsters but tend to avoid the wimmens other than watching to look at their asses.

ETA: Especially Ana Ivanovic

How come my site only has heads/tails under SB props? Am I on a loser site or haven't they been released yet?

You probably don't wanna do that with Kim. They could stick her in the men's bracket and nobody would notice.

When I was looking at the lines tonight an seen Was -7, , I was going to ask in here just how bad Charlotte is. Apparently pretty ####### bad.

This game was screaming under, I went over on a gut feeling. They were due a stinker dude, they have been playing out of their minds.

I know...should have expected with all star break here and no Lidstrom. If only Conklin got the start my decision would have been so easy.

Do not pay attention to seeding in this match.Like I said before, if Clijsters plays like she did the other night, she wins. Period. When I posted that surprising line (AZ -125), I shoulda banged it. Kim's now -125. I'm still betting it with confidence. I want the better player. If she chokes or re-injures that mysterious ankle, I lose. I can live with that gamble/loss more than I can handle "hoping" AZ plays out of her mind.

I took her too. Got it at -115.Who do you like in the second match? Maria +?

Anybody feeling UNLV -10? They DRILLED a good New Mexico team the other night, but that was in Vegas.

Haven't seen Boise play.

That match, I have no clue, I have not seen either play of late. Clijsters, I know what I (should be) getting.In the mens, it's likely I'm going with Nadal. Nice to get him as a dog. And the more I see how the court has been playing, I think it favors him some. Fedentist looks as good as he has in awhile though, so it's a tossup. Nadal has a way of getting to him though, and I like having that, especially in a close match. This could be one of the best matches of the year, can't wait.

 

[Raider Nation]

AZ is having an orgasm every time she strikes the ball.

I like UNLV. Boise isn't very good. Their last 3 are losses to TCU, 11 to Colorado St., and 15 to Air Force at home. UNLV is better than all those.

 

[Garrett]

Lakers/Clippers?

 

[gmbacm]

So for those thinking of betting Nadal - would it be better to bet him to win the tourny instead of the match against federer? Chance that Murray wins, making Nadal the favorite. Most likely Djokovic wins though, what would the line be vs Nadal in the final?

7001 N. Djokovic +131 Risk To Win

7002 R. Nadal +491 Risk To Win

7003 R. Federer +242 Risk To Win

7004 A. Murray +519 Risk To Win

Can I ask a dumb tax question. I hate starting new threads.

Anyone know if I can claim moving expenses on my tax return if my work reimbursed me for them already?

Probably not huh?

 

[BRONG]

####in A, I missed the start of the women's because I was watching the tennis channel waiting for it to come on. I saw the Bryan brothers comeback and figured it was next. Wrong.

So I texted the man and he said he'd take it in live betting. He gave me -255/+215 cuz Clijsters was down 3 - 1. I took it!

In. Just got her at +240

Kvitova at -155

 

[BRONG]

Lakers/Clippers?

Didn't even know these two were playing. Clippers. Just took the 4 and the +170. This should've been a certified "BRONG Fade Old Lakers System" play. Undefeated on those, btw. Lakers are fresh I see, so not really, but I still like the Clips.

 

[BRONG]

Kvitova at -155

I've got it at -125. I may have to jump on that.

Too late. Already punched Lakers -4. Mostly on the thought that the Clippers don't get over on them twice in two weeks.

Brian Scalabrine takes the clutch 3 with the game on the line. LOL.

Between that and the Clippers ML, you are definitely seeing better lines than I am.

PHEW, Clijsters finally woke up. Down a set, and 30 - 15, in the first game of the second, she rattles off 8 straight points. Crazy. Keep it up, girl.

hmm, last night was the first night tailing CBB all year. I'll give it a go here, hoping that we have a sweet bounce back night here bud

Wellllll that explains why we went 0-5 last night then It's OK, I have a feeling we're not gonna lose one tonight.

Took a look at my balance and it looks like we bounced back, so thanks bud. And I have to say, I am undefeated with random CBB plays i have made. My sample size is like 4 or 5 games this year, but the roughian' Temple Owls pulled a nice one for me as well.

I rarely post in here anymore given that I have 2 young ones and work about 50 hours/week. I do lurk and often feel a tad jealous of the late night debauchery that goes on. But tonight my wife is puking sick and I'm on the couch for the night. Bourbon is open and I've already told my boss I won't be in until I'm in. I know nothing about tennis but 5 minutes ago I put $200 on this Kim girl you all are talking about at +350. Also took Clips+160 and over 186. Been a good night so far, let's keep it rolling!

At +125, it's tempting.

Was expecting these chicks to be hot. Not sure I can watch this much longer. Lakers-Clips on NBA TV

Okay, these early games in the third are gonna be big. We do not want AZ getting back into this thing and getting her confidence back. We can't get broken and I would LOVE an early break. COME ON KIM!

Lakers look rattled.

Yep, just what I was afraid of, gawddamit. It's all they can talk about too... That first game was huge.
