Tuesday NBA betting

I'm teasing Jazz down to - 3.5 at the Bobcats, with the over at 186. It seems vegas has started to adjust the overunder lines on Utah games, but i think this number is still attainable.

Also taking the sonics +4 at Philly.

Side note, I've found myself betting on road teams at an alarming rate so far this season. Something I normally do not do. I'm chaulking it up to vegas' over-emphasis on home teams. Because it's working so far....hope I didnt just jinx myself

Got to hand it to you, man. You keep betting on the Sonics, and they keep winning. Here in Seattle, there's a lot of doubt if this team is the real deal, and my hunch is still that these early wins will come in handy come springtime when they are struggling to make the playoffs. But for now, they are paying off for you when I would have bet the other way. Thank god I'm sticking to poker.

ended up rolling with the clippers last night on a last second bet which made it a winning night. 7-2 for the week, +4.8 units.

as for sticking with the sonics, old gambling adage, never bet against a streak till it's broken. I've got the NBA league pass, so I've watched a lot of their games, and the can shoot the lights out. Of course, that means if they aren't hitting from outside one night, they are gonna get blown out. But hey, they're hot right now, so i'm gonna ride em till they buck me.

Even as a hometown fan, I doubted them all the way. Then they go and whup the Spurs in their own house. Now I can really get excited about this team, then get bitterly disappointed come playoff time!
