contact them or wait it will be settled at some stage. Still cant believe how many people solely bet with paddypower, for american sports i recommend Pinnacle 1.95 on handicaps and can choose alternative handicaps at good prices.

Patriots hit 1.7 in running, colts goign struggle in a shoot out.

Steelers to sneak it i hope tonight blog here

Going to have a bash on the overs in this one

Juwwi

Dallas are +20.5 at 20/23 with bet365

Washington cant keep this up l think the +20.5 looks a steel.

I went all out today previewed all 3 games Patriots v Jets here

PAtriots to be sided with Jets do ok defending deep ball but have looked vulnerable to the slants, and slot receivers of which patriots have some of the best (edelmen, welker). As long as they keep offence balanced i see 10pt + win

Wacker The Attacker

It's official. I now hate the Atlanta Hawks. I had a sizable single on betfair on them last night at 1.22 against Cleveland and decided that there was no need to lay them with and 9 point lead at the start of the 4th quarter.

I went to sleep at this point reasonably happy that they could see it out.

I woke this morning to the excellent news that they turned a 9 point lead into a 2 point loss. Thanks Hawks

Nuri Sahin

First mistake was betting on the Hawks. No hindsight to it honestly. I'd fancy the Wizards to give them a game.

Second mistake is thinking the game was solid with a 9 point lead. Huge leads can be wiped out in a couple of minutes let alone nearly an entire quarter.

Only too true, had a lovely looking one on Thursday

Atlanta Falcons -3.5 and U55
San Antoine Spurs +12
Denver Nuggets M/L

1st 2 came in allright had a look at the Denver game and saw they were up 16, went to bed happy, woke up less than happy

The game against Golden State? Watched the first half and a bit of it before crashing for the night. Actually tipped Warriors +1 elsewhere but I'd made some decent money in the earlier games so decided to leave it, was a tad sickened to see they had pipped the Nuggets to the win when I woke up!

Yeah very strange finish to it, watched the last 2 the morning after.

Denver nailed a 3 with the shot clock expired, the comms were expecting it to be reset to 7 seconds after GS put it out of play but it was reset to 5.

Some difference the 2 seconds made

Spare a thought for me as I witnessed Chicago blow a 27 point lead during the week to lose.

Ouch!!!

The 4Q game was it?! :pac:

Was watching my bet (OKC) I think at the time but I had to change over to watch the last half of the final quarter of their game. Madness. Bulls aren't a team I've considered betting on once this season tbh. Without Rose, you're playing with fire.

Miami is my curse team by the by. Started tonight horribly as well going from watching the 1Q.

The Nets are fairly decent this season so far. What was the spread for the Heat? Can't see them hitting it now.

If only there was a 1-12 pt win margin market for basketball. Miami would be the perfect team for this bet this season

-8.5

Didn't think they'd cover tonight truth be told, thought they both would turn up the D. Think for now on Heat 2H spread is the play. Certainly at home till they get their act together.

Nuri Sahin

Well, I just had the Knicks implode on me in the 4Q and fail to cover the spread @ -10.5 :rolleyes:

On the subject of 4th q implosions, WTF happened to the Lakers last night?

Embarrassing stuff all night if you saw the game. Hack Dwight tactic worked a treat for the Magic. Seeing someone so absurdly bad at free throws is just.. yeah :mad: Had the Over TT which was 105, stopped watching half way during the 4Q.

Things will improve with Nash and even Blake are back but till then who knows what Lakers will show up. Interesting game tonight for them though.
