Vinnie in Vegas says.... 

Post#1 » by Frank Lee » Sun Dec 22, 2013 1:12 pm

Don't know if many/any of you keep up with the spreads and all/ gamble some.... but Phnx is the #1 team against the spread right now... 19/6. Portland #2 18 / 10....Charlotte #3at 17 / 10. I am tempted to take ANY points with this squad.

I think we are a tough match to any team who is 3-4 games into a west coast road trip.... or any older team on a back to back, like last night vs Dallas.

Next load up I am looking at is Phnx vs Chi ... Feb 4... its a ways off but fits my criteria...
Jan 29 Chic @ San Ant
Feb 1 Chic @ NO
Feb 3 Chi @ Sac
Feb 4 Chi @ PHX

We finish up a 4 game road trip on Jan 30 then home vs Char on the 1st.

Should be a double digit win.


Last night vs Dallas was a easy pick to me (phx -3). They came off a B2B OT loss and then traveled to Phnx to play this buzz saw. Tired legs hurt shooters. Even though we were B2Bing too, our depth and youth makes it less a factor. ChaChing

They have been a very profitable bet so far this year. Linesmakers are adjusting lines to them now but in the beginning of the season they were massive dogs in a lot of close matches that they won. Just to show you how much they were rated one sportsbook had these futures at the start of the NBA season:

Would love to have 10 bucks on that right now. I think we are a tough match up for plodding teams and teams with poor depth. Like in the past when we were clicking, our bench is flat out mugging folks.

Tonight's game ? Phnx is an 8pt favorite. Guess we are slated to run the visiting fLakes off the court.

Yeah, these lines will adjust very soon, if not already. But overall, especially among gamblers, especially casual ones, they might not think of the Suns as that great and will bet against them, keeping the spreads favorable for a bit longer. If we keep playing like this though, not MUCH longer.

Another cover.... and an easy one at that.

Next up ... Golden State on the road. I think we will be 2 1/2- 3 pt dogs. Bogut and Lee been beasting the boards. 9 straight games with 10 each. Hasn't been done since Barkley and Moses Malone. GS will want some redemption from last week.

The general consensus is "they'll come back down to earth" or "they are too unpredictable"
