DOUGS, WIN CASH WITH ME

Two wins yesterday, 5 for my last 5. 2 for the last 2 I've advertised on here. Dougs, that sexy, dripping-wet cash is out there. All I'm asking you to do is win it with me.

Event 1:	Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins
Play Time:	2013-02-07 19:05
Selection:	Over to win
Odds:	Over (5.5) -125
Final Score:	Pittsburgh 5 Washington 2

As I explained yesterday, this was essentially a bet on Pittsburgh without having to bet on Pittsburgh. I figured that if the Pens stayed hot, they'd score enough goals on their own to hit the over (they just about did). And if they did not, they'd give up enough goals to hit the over. The former happened. These guys are on fire right now. This happened last year and even after they lost that fire, overs were still being hit. I don't know if topbet is only keeping them at 5.5 right now due to the uncertainty with the lockout, but if it were my site, I'd bump some of these up to 6 and 6.5.

Event 1:	Chicago Blackhawks at Phoenix Coyotes
Play Time:	2013-02-07 21:05
Selection:	Chicago to win
Odds:	Point Spread (-1.5) +255
Final Score:	Phoenix 2 Chicago 6

This one was just a bet on the odds, and it came through. Chicago was up 4-0 at the end of the first period and just had to hold Phoenix off to win. And it's not too hard to hold Phoenix off.


So that brings my total on side bets to 2-0. At this point, you may want to fade me because this can't keep up. I only see one bet tonight that I like enough to put money on:


BET 1:

PHOENIX @ OKLAHOMA CITY, OVER 206.0

Can you not see OKC putting up 120 or so on Phoenix? I can. I just need 95 or so from the Suns and I think that they can get it. Blowout type games seem like they go over a lot, anecdotally. This one will probably look like the NBA all-star game in the 4th quarter.


Also considering:

Orlando +245 straight-up at Cleveland - a battle of two terrible teams, one of which has owned the other (ORL has owned Cleveland). I like getting 2.5:1 odds on the Magic, but they've sucked lately and Cleveland has been killing it. So I'm going to hold off.

NYK @ Minnesota, Minn +6.5 - I like the home team getting almost 7 here, but I don't like it enough to pull the trigger.

Golden State @ Memphis, Under 191.0 - Golden State has been struggling, and their road trip continues tonight at Memphis. Memphis's D is almost as stifling as that of Indiana. However, I'm not feeling it enough to take it. Golden State will probably suck again, but they've been terrible defensively on this road trip. I'm also averse to most NBA and NHL unders, except for when Indiana is involved. They have an O/U of 188.0 tonight hosting Toronto which is also tempting, but not tempting enough. I've learned not to bet just for the sake of betting.

Andddd I guess the Toronto/Indiana Under 188.0 mentioned above. That works out to a 95-93 game, and I can definitely see one of those 87-79 deals tonight. But, just not feeling it enough right now. I think I'm letting the 5-game winning streak get in my head, because this looks like one I'd usually take.

So, there you have it. Those are my top 5 tonight, although I'm only putting actual money on one of them. If I had to take 5 bets, those are the ones I'd take.

Fin.
