The Big Play Mon 3/9/09 ~~First ever CM post!

Hello All!

My friend and roommate at the time turned me on to this site over a year ago and I have pretty much lurked and gained info without giving back. I have made a full circle with sportsbetting going from broke square to consistent pain in my bookies ass!

Well here we go! Lets crack my Cappersmall cherry with a play in the NBA that I really like...

Portland Trailblazers Moneyline +120
risking $500 to win $600


Since beating Boston and Cleveland on the road in early Feb, the Lakers have not been impressive on the road. They are 3-3 SU beating Golden State, Oklahoma and Minnesota. Of these teams, only Golden State has more than 20 wins on the season (21 actually!). The Lake Show lost to contenders Utah, Denver and Phoenix during this stretch. While the Laker's still have a great home-court advantage, they will struggle on the road with Lamar Odom being inconsistent. In my opinion, this is a bad situation for the Lakers, as they have not fared well at the rose Garden lately. The home team in this series is 9-1 over the last 10 meetings.

I think the Moneyline is the right play here.

TY Whodey!

I usually don't play a game every day but hopefully I will have lots of plays in the near future with the Conf. tourneys coming up and the NBA playoffs.

I try to be selective and I really liked this game.
