Formula NBA - Sambuca Bets - 03.12.08

[Formula]

Bet against me and all drinks will be calculated nightly.

Miami/Utah OVER 197.5 (-110)

Minnesota +9 (-101)
Utah Jazz -3.5 (-110)
Phoenix Suns +8.5 (-110)

New York Knicks +1850

[Orbital]

blah... i see utah -5, you have your own sportbook yet?

i take CLE ML, you owe me sambooka

i like MEM +380 and LAL/PHI U 202 -102

[Jajin]

I m not sure but picking Suns doesnt look like a smart thing, Nash is doubtful and same is O'Neil. I rather stay away of this match. I really like Bobcats, Under in BOS, and PHI.
I dont have informations about Dwayne Wade but he had a migrane today and missed shootaround, so I probably stay away also with UTA (Also Boozer and Kirilenko are out)

I often take teams that have players missing because everybody knows they are missing and the opponent often becomes overvalued as a result.

As I wrote earlier, I love Charlotte right now, but Orb has me convinced that Oklahoma City is playing better basketball and Charlotte is not a team that is capable of dominating to the tune of 8.5 points.

I will not argue against an UNDER bet where Boston or Philadelphia are involved, but in particular I like Boston UNDER.

I took 3.5 for Utah at WSEX the exact time I was writing the post.

You can take Cleveland ML since you are Lebron worshiper but you will only get 1/20th sambuca IF they manage to win. When I win you will owe me 18.5 sambucas. That is how ML betting works.

Your other two bets are quite nice.

i like the Bos Under too, i wanted to post it, but something tells me it is a trap

[Jajin]

It was a trap you should write me earlier, and Formula has right that Bobcats -8.5 is too much, I played them in Teaser as usual when I think the spread is too high. SUNS without Neil and Nash were less than half, I hope my favourite Hornets gonna drive up again, this season they are not that team I know.

[Orbital]

this season and esp this day was kinda strange
My best bet of say MIN/ORL U 96 2nd half +152!!! after 3rd qt i was sure i hold winnner, no idea why they scored more in 5 mins than in previous 12.
anyways, small surplus, 2-2, all bets for odds above +100 (Frantisek is maybe the wisest guy ever)

Sambooka bet OK
total Sambooka units 1-0

[Formula]

Certainly not the best day for any of us here although I had few takers on the Sambuca Lines. I am happy to see that Jajin had the best advice for us so I will give him 1 Sambuca even though he was too nice to be against me.

total Sambooka units 1-0

Apparently Orbital needs to be educated on unit betting since the Cleveland win only yielded him .05 units and I am being generous in pricing Cleveland at -2000 for the game. I wonder if the nice bartender will enjoy to pour 2 drops for the princess.

Formula = 0 Sambuca

Orbital = 0.05 Sambuca
Jajin = 1 Sambuca

apparently one newbie needs to be educated how people in the USA bet:
we always use button "base amount", that means that:
PLUS ODDS (odds above 2 for Formula), we bet TO RISK
MINUS ODDS (odds below 2 for Formula), we bet TO WIN

shady practices
Orbital = 1 Sambuca
Jajin = 1 Sambuca

another issue is that honest people always pay their debts and do not devastate world economy with credit, accounting is a zero game

therefore Formula -2 Samboocas

How can I discuss with someone who speaks of pressing buttons, perpetuates ignorance by claiming the world economy is reliant on consumer credit, and spells 'sambuca' different every time he writes it?
