Dread Pirate Karl Rolls Bucks

Denver marauding in one of Karl's old stomping grounds.. definitely Nuggets by more than 3 points

Milwaukee has had their moments, and they're kinda like a basketball team, but c'mon, even at home the hot Nuggets are going to cruise.

That's even without the extra sauce provided by a coach returning to play a team that fired him..

King James Makes A Kinda Stand

Spurs on the road in Wade-less Miami? I think the Heat will win by more than 7 points

Beating up on the Spurs isn't what it used to be, but LeBron sure needs a good game. His sidekick/nemesis/bff Wade is riding pine, and may be for a while, so it's King time. Having Miller might help, but I think being home again and LeBron's pent up emotions mean a big night for him and Das Heat..

Vegas has this at 7 points, I'll take the Heat side of that line, even though it's very shady in the Miami direction already.

Technical Update




Heads up -- a couple technical issues with Day 1..

1) Round 14 is really Round 1 (will be dates, like 'JAN 16' instead of rounds soon..) -- had round counting issue and we're fixing it now.. today's round of bets will show up in Round 15 shortly.

2) Won bets will turn green, Lost bets will turn red. need to improve the sexiness of these bet tiles in closed scenarios -- also working on this.

love,
the B3TZ technical team

Pinky's Game Recap -- Day 1



One for three on the first day. Pinky needs The Kobe System, clearly..

It's Not Martin Luther Wolves
Too much Love for the Kings and the Wolves eat Sacramento alive to the tune of 13 points. Ouch. Almost double the line, and I was on the wrong side. Double ouch. Props to Jane Austen and Angela for disagreeing with me on this one..

Oklahoma C-Party
My did Perk look on his game last night. And the Garden looked like it missed him. There was a little justice with him giving Rondo a hard, cheap foul though.. Pinky wins this one.

The Mamba Breaks
OK, the Mamba survived, but the Mamba sucked too. Fisher won this game for the Lakes, and the Mavs looked hella rusty. Toby you dog, looks like you beat me here.

The Mamba Breaks

Lakers favored by 5 points? Um, no. Forget the line, Dallas wins straight up.

How many "over the top" 40+ pt games can Kobe churn out with that old body? I think he's about outta gas..

But it doesn't matter -- 20 pts or 50 pts, one dude can't win a game and the Lakers lose even though they are home favorites.

What you doubt me? Then there's one word you should roll around in your brain: Sweep. I know that can cut both ways, but I think the extra push Kobe's going to give tonight won't result in a win but in a few injury days off.

Mavs win.

Oklahoma C-Party

What's so scary about Boston? Vegas is giving Boston 3 points, and I say the Thunder will go over that!

So at least Vegas doesn't think the C's will actually win this game -- no chance of that.

The question is really -- will it be close? I say "not so much" and think the Thunder will win by more than 3 points.

It's Not Martin Luther Wolves

Vegas says Minnesota wins by 7, but I think Sacramento can cover that nonsense..

Screw Vegas and Covers and Accuscore, this is a Kings kinda day.

The T-Wolves are in a dry stretch and even if they win, the Kings will definitely cover the 7 points Vegas will give them. Go Kings!
