armadillo? slim, we spend 100 million anually to protect those also.

Glad to hear the world is on Lakers. Not to mention pet armadillos. Thanks. I can't figure it out because I am not a Piston fan by any stretch, but find myself rooting for them to win tonight ( a lot). No matter who wins I hope there is not a lot of crying about the refs.

Odds tonite's loser blames refs for the loss:

Yes -320
No +280

For once I have found value priced at over 110.

If everybody and their pets were on the Lakers tonight, the line wouldn't be still at underdog value...

THE SHRINK · Jun 13, 2004

EGD,

EXACTLY...

The LINE opned at at 1 1/2 and remains there...

DUH...

public money tends to have a different affect on the line.....slow gradual movements....if any....by gametime you may see the line move...down to 1 at some places at the moment.

p.s the man works for a book. Thanks Slim.

Lakers one of the biggest public teams in sports......the lakers are the public side that is for sure......I'm passing on the game....no value in the line....game is a toss up slight lean towards the Pistons....Lakers need a win.....should be a good game.

RobFunk · Jun 13, 2004

lol slim. . .youd probably take tony sopranos armadillo too if he had one.

MOON88.......quote "lakers need a win".....

classic example of "public betting strategy"....

"they have to win".........is the common sentiment amongst the pubes.......betting a team because they "have to win"

is not a recommended handicapping strategy......jmo

wilheim · Jun 13, 2004

Laker are doo. I mean due.

wil.

spoke to a friend of mine a couple of days ago who is the squarest of squares and he had mentioned he is backing the Lakers and asked me if I knew when they were playing and what the line was.

DarrylParsons · Jun 13, 2004

What is the average bet size for an armadillo? And are they sharp or square? Just wondering

RobFunk · Jun 13, 2004

just read OMT's post in the NBA forum . .this guy has all the bases covered, one of the best writeups for a game I have ever seen. . .I encourage everyone to read it, if you have not already. even if you are on LA, may help you make other descions.

Darryl, I was in the middle of answering your question but unfortunately I spilled my entire capuccino on the keyboard and desk. Half an hour later, here I am with a new keyboard and a smelly desk and no disposition to answer any questions about armadillos, I hope I dont disappoint you too much.....

Man I hate spilling shit on my keyboard...
