1*Colorado Avalanche (-115) over Carolina Hurricanes
1*Columbus Blue Jackets (+201) over Calgary Flames



1*PARLAY COLORADO AND COLUMBUS----- details:

Some people don't bother with the one star plays. Personally, I like them. If you haven't been playing the 1* plays then listen up. Sprinkle a little bit of your winnings on this beauty. 1 unit will return 4.6.... low risk, high reward, and VERY capable.



I will be recording these plays as 1* each.. the parlay will NOT be a play that will be listed .




2**New York Islanders (+139) over Dallas Stars
Tonight is greatly possible that Rick DiPietro will return the Islanders lineup. This is the first matchup between these two teams since October 23, 2008. This would seem as though with the rest day and the road trip at hand, Rick DiPietro will be used tonight. The Stars lost Mike Ribeiro to injury of the throat, which is a huge hit to the team. The Islanders have gone 5-1-1 in the last 7 and with the possible return of DiPietro tonight, it should boost the team even more. The Stars have lost three in a row and have 11 losses in games that went beyond regulation, including eight in shootouts.
Take NEW YORK.






Again, not much to work with on these lines so I'm sticking to things that make money. Here is what I suggest for tomorrows high favorite parlay:


New Jersey Devils (-204) – (2* parlay with Sabres) over Tampa Bay Lightning

The New Jersey Devils have never won three straight at home via shutout, but with the way Brodeur is playing, this might be possible. The leading Devils will try to win their 7th straight at home and 11th in a row over Tampa Bay tonight. New Jersey has posted back to back shutout wins at home for the sixth time in franchise history. Brodeur is 3-0-0 with 1.91 GAA in three starts versus the Lightning this season and has won six straight in this matchup. The Devils allow only 2.15 goals per game and will be very tough to beat at home. Tampa Bay is struggling and looks as though it will be a tough one tonight for them as they face the Eastern Conference best Devils. Tampa Bay’s last victory over New Jersey dates back to October 4, 2007.
Take NEW JERSEY.


Buffalo Sabres (-193) – (2* parlay with Devils) over Toronto Maple Leafs

The Buffalo Sabres snapped their sluggish ways at home in the first periods of games. They also started slowly against these Maple Leafs, but all ended in victories for Buffalo. The Sabres will try to extend their season-high five-game win streak and extend their consecutive victory streak over the Maple Leafs to 10. Toronto has been outscored and outshot in their last four and have gone 1-7-0 in their last eight on the road. Things won’t get easier as they face a tough Buffalo team on the road at the HSBC Arena. Ryan Miller will look to have another great game in net as he is 21-7-0 with a 2.20 GAA against Toronto
Take BUFFALO.

HOME TEAM IN CAPS
All games include OT unless stated otherwise

DALLAS -½ -1.01 over NY Islanders (REG) Pinnacle
This wager is a go only if Rick DiPietro gets the start for the Islanders and we’ll update it as soon as that info is available but he is expected to start. DiPietro has played just five games since the beginning of last year. Even before he was injured I called this guy one of the most overrated goaltender ever. Thing is, the Islanders are forced to go with him because of a ridiculous contract that has him signed for 15 years and 67 million. That’s right, 15 years and 67M for a guy that would have this team with zero more wins this season. Besides, how do you think the players feel about this? Dwayne Roloson has been so solid in net and most of these players don’t even know DiPietro. Now he’s going to come in like his shit doesn’t stink and put a damper on this cohesive group that without saying so, would much prefer Roloson, their guy, between the pipes. If the Islanders could trade DiPietro for Hall Gill’s skates, they would. When you’re paying a guy about 5M a year, what are you going to do, sit him? Of course not and there’s one guy in this organization that is on his knees praying that DiPietro comes up huge in the near future. Funny thing is though, that even at his absolute best, DiPietro is a fraction of what Roloson is. Dallas is off two losses, they lost one of its best players in Mike Robeiro and they’ll rally here against a goaltender that may allow four before getting mercifully yanked. Play: Dallas -½ -1.01 (Risking 2.02 units).

Tampa Bay +2.02 over NEW JERSEY (REG) Pinnacle
The Lightning are simply too dangerous a team to pass up on as a 2-1 pooch. They’re coming off a loss in Buffalo but fell behind 3-0 before the fans arrived and they did rally to make it 3-2 and 4-3 before falling 5-3. Furthermore, they’ve played the Devils tough all year, losing all three times by a single goal with two of the games going to OT. Furthermore, the Devils will embark on a five-game trip beginning tomorrow night in Montreal and you know for sure they’ll be looking forward to that game in Montreal tomorrow. The Lightning catch the usually tough Devils at precisely the right time here and at this price, they’re most certainly worthy of a bet. Play: Tampa Bay +2.02 (Risking 2 units).

4 Unit Play. #835 Take Washington +4 over Arizona State (10:30 pm FSN) This line really surprises me and I truly believe, that the wrong team is favored. ASU plays hard but they have no offense whatsoever and the balance of the Huskies will propel them to a victory. The Sun Devils scored just 37 points in their last outing and lost both games to suspect LA schools last weekend. The Huskies have won 13 of the last 15 meetings and getting points is just too good to pass up

[Mr. IWS]

1-Unit Play. Take #826 Wright State (Pk) over Butler (7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 8)
We have an unranked team favored over a ranked team and a curious line. Oh, and on top of that Wright State is 12-3 ATS in the last 15 meetings and Butler is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games overall. And then there’s the fact that about 80 percent of the action here is coming in on the Bulldogs. So let’s go the other way and get on the Ramblers. I would love to catch a bucket or two here but I think that Wright State will win outright as is.

NBA - Toronto Raptors at Philadelphia 76ers - 7:05 p.m. ET


Bet: #804 Philadelphia 76ers -2


Love how this game sets up. Toronto is coming into this one off back-to-back upset wins over the Spurs at home and over the Magic in Orlando. The Raptors also have a same-season revenge game up next at home against the Celtics. So what are the chances they're at all focused on the 10-24 76ers? Talk about a flat spot!
The 76ers are coming off a home loss against Washington, but don't discount them so quickly. Philly has recent wins against Denver, Portland, and Boston. And those three wins were on the road, so I'm sure they can compete against a mediocre Toronto team that finds itself in a pretty tough situational spot tonight. The oddsmakers opened Philly as the favorite for a reason. Lay the small number with Philadelphia.
CBB - Washington at Arizona State - 10:30 p.m. ET


Bet: #836 Arizona State -4


Washington is the ranked team and Arizona State is 0-2 in conference play with their last loss being a game in which they scored just 37 points. And yet the Sun Devils are the favorite here. Hmmm.
The Huskies have only played one true road game and that was a 7-point OT loss at Texas Tech. UW owns offensive and defensive efficiency rankings of 69th and 59th, respectively. On the flip side, ASU's two conference losses both came on the road. The Sun Devils are 9-1 at home, and they own offensive and defensive efficiency rankings of 33rd and 39th, respectively.
I expect Washington to struggle a bit on the road, while ASU continues their solid play at home. The Sun Devils should be plenty motivated to get their first conference win and erase the memory of that 37-point performance at USC in their last game. Lay it with Arizona State.

NBA "TRUE STEAM" for Fri (37-20 for 65%) !!

by vegas-runner on 01/08/2010 1:14 PM
Allright fellas, we had a loser in the NBA last night...and are now "37-20" (65% ATS) since launching this Blog...And as proud as I am about those results, I'm even prouder to see that so many up and coming handicappers are really learning a lot...And that they otherwise may have never had the opportunity to truely see how the Betting Syndicates approach sports betting...and the different ways that they use to beat this market...year in and year out...
The Bottom Line is that I do put a lot of time and work into each blog that I publish...And I also make sure to try and pass along the kind of "Steam" that will produce a long-term profit...Just like it does for the Wiseguys...
But with that said...I am also simply educating bettors...and giving them accurate information about what is happening, and what is behind a lot of those "early moves"...In the end, as handicappers...the decision on how you are going to use this information is ultimately yours...
I have built a small army of sources which include Bookmakers, Pro Sports Bettors, Runners, ect...And what I do each day is gather as much information from each as I possibly can...But then, it's all up to me to try and make sense of it...and decide how to use it...
That's exactly what I wish that bettors do with this Blog, and all of the "Bets & Info" that I try and pass along here at Pregame...Since day 1, my main priority and true goal as a "paid handicapper"...is to become a strong source of information for bettors...And more importantly, to try and educate bettors...the same way that I was educated by so many extremely sharp professionals...
With that, let's see if we can cash this NBA "move" tonight...and head into the weekend off an NBA winner...VR

NBA "TRUE STEAM" for 1-8-10 =
1.) MIAMI HEAT opened +7....Now +6
These are the type of moves that always used to baffle me when I was a "runner"...Because since I was a bookmaker prior, I had developed a pretty good sense of knowing where the "public money" was going to go each day...And when we would get that "Buy-Order" at 7am on a team that I just knew the public would be betting heavy that night...it would piss me off, because I thought that by waiting...we would have gotten a better line...But as I said previously, when I moved here to Vegas to apply my craft...I was shocked by the amount of Betting Syndicates that were in Vegas doing the exact same things that we were...Some at a higher level, and others at a lower one...And that's when it all began making sense...And I realized that just like the stock market, and any other market...it's going to be a daily race to get the "Best Price" on each position that we were going to take...
Tonight's game is one of those examples of the Betting Syndicates competing against each other for the best price...And as soon as the line went up on Thursday afternoon, the race to get +7 on MIAMI was on...I wasn't surprised because I had made my "True Line" a bit lower, and I also wasn't surprised when they stopped betting it after the books adjusted down to 6.5 because by that time...almost EVERY sportsbook had a line on this match-up, so I was pretty sure that the Wiseguys were able to get down what they had hoped for...at +7...
But then this morning...I did get surprised, because the Betting Syndicates came back...and they came back strong...Betting MIAMI +6.5 and even +6...Forcing the books to eventually drop this line all the way to 5.5...
That tells us that not only did the Outfits see "Line Value" in this wager...but they also saw "Handicapping Value", because after having time to work on the match-up...they were willing to come back and take a lower number...VR
LINE PREDICTION : This just shows you how much respect the sportsbooks have for these Betting Syndicates...Because even though they expect the public to come in one-sided on PHO...they still went ahead and adjusted for that "Steam"...They do this because they know these Wiseguys are going to win more bets than they lose...And rather than try to guess when they are going to be wrong, they've decided long ago to respect each wager...I've worked with those Betting Syndicates long enough to know that the books are correct, but not only do these guys win more than they lose...but they bet like robots and when they get ahead, you will never see that money again...For tonight's game, I would truely be shocked if the Wiseguys sent out another "Buy-Order"...because as I mentioned above, they took a very significant position already...Therefore, I expect the books to eventually adjust this number back up to at least 6...With the shops the cater to the public more than the Outfits possibly going back to as high as 6.5...
So if you plan on followin the "Steam"...then I feel you shouldn't lose any value by waiting, and in fact...you will probably get some more as we approach tip-off...
For those who disagree, and plan on backin the Suns...I would go ahead and lay -6 now, because I highly doubt that you will get better...

Thanks again for all your support, and best of luck...Remember, over the next 2-3 weeks...the oddsmakers/bookmakers will be looking to adjust their Ratings, to accomidate all of the public bettors who will now make their way over to basketball...And while these adjustments take place, it's good to be cautious...and try to determine if this is on of those seasons, where the Wiseguys are ahead of the books...Best of Luck, Vegas-Runner.

SPORTS WAGERS

Sacramento +1.72 over GOLDEN STATE

The Kings have won just three road games in 15 tries but this looks like a good spot for them. Sac-town was playing some very decent basketball right around Christmas when they took the Lakers and Cav’s both to OT before losing. They then beat the Nuggets and subsequently ran out of steam with four successive losses. They’ve now had two full days off and they also take to the road for just the second time in two weeks. It’ll be good for them to get away from home, regroup and see if they can get this thing going again. There’s no denying they’re one of the most talented and exciting young clubs in the game. The Warriors, too, are young and exciting but have been for about 20 years now. They’ll return home from a four-game trip on just one days rest and although they’re getting healthier, this is a vulnerable spot to be in. Golden State has the Cav’s on deck and could be a little flat tonight. Expect the Kings to be energized and ready to go. Play: Sacramento +1.72 (Risking 2 units).


PHILADELPHIA –2 over Toronto

The Raps stock is gaining steam and after Wednesday’s win in Orlando it’s as high as it’s been in some time now. Thing is, this is a team that loses focus real fast and more often than not lose after a big win. Toronto is just 6-13 on the road and they wanted that win over Orlando as badly as any game this year. They hung on for dear life after Orlando rallied from a 12-point, fourth quarter deficit. Now the Raps will take a step down in class after that big win and they have the Celtics at home on Sunday. Meanwhile, the 76ers returned home from a long six-game excursion amidst all the controversy over the Gilbert Arenas incident. Washington won that game and now the 76ers will play its second game back at home after the trip. Philly had a very nice trip and in fact, picked up three wins in Portland, Sacramento and Denver. Those are three good wins indeed. The 76ers are 14 games under .500 and they’re probably not going anywhere but they’re a whole lot better than its record indicates and they really showed signs of life on that last trip. This is a great spot for them to get it going at home and again, it’s a very vulnerable spot for the visitor. Play: Philadelphia –2 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

[Mr. IWS]

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons

Washington +3.5

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this game is on Washington:

The 24th-ranked Huskies should have plenty of motivation as they try for a seventh straight road win over Arizona State in a conference matchup Friday night.

Coming off its first Pac-10 regular-season championship since 1953, Washington (10-3, 1-1) began its title defense with a lethargic 76-70 home win over Oregon State on New Year’s Eve. The overall effort wasn’t much better in a shocking 90-79 home loss to Oregon on Saturday.

It was certainly not the way Washington expected to open conference play, especially not when the Huskies are the only ranked team in a league that is considered to be average at best when compared to the other major power conferences in the country.

“We’ve got to come back together, not let this game drop our confidence and just be ready,” said Washington sixth man Venoy Overton, who’s averaging 13.5 points in the two conference games.

Washington is 4-1 its last five and has history on its side; 5-0 ATS its last five on the road vs. Arizona State.

On the other side of the court: While Washington is averaging a league-leading 82.5 points on the season and 81.3 during its six-game road winning streak against Arizona State, the Sun Devils are allowing just 55.2 per game.

With last season’s top scorers James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph in the NBA, Arizona State has lost two straight.

Keep in mind that the Sun Devils always struggle against the Huskies; 2-13 SU their last 15 matchups.

Bottom line: Arizona State is facing its second ranked opponent of the season after losing 64-53 to then-No. 7 Duke on Nov. 25 and I expect another "letdown" this evening; look for WASHINGTON to improve to 1-1 ATS this year as an underdog and for Arizona State to fall to 3-6 ATS when playing the roll of favorite!

9* WASHINGTON

Grizzlies are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite of 13.0 or greater. Grizzlies are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite of 13.0 or greater. Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Big Sky. Underdog is 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Eastern Washington will keep this one close tonight. My power ratings has Montana winning by only 9.08 points.

We'll play Eastern Washington for 3 units tonight!

Memphis -1

The Grizzlies are playing with immediate revenge for a loss in Utah Wednesday night, falling 117-94 as 5.5-point dogs. That was the ninth consecutive time they failed to cover the spread against the Jazz (0-9 SU). Look for them to gain revenge tonight. They are 6-1 ATS playing with same season revenge this year and 10-3 ATS playing with revenge for a loss where the opponent scored 100+ points. That Wednesday loss was quite uncharacteristic for a Grizzlies team that has really been playing well the last month or so. Previously, they had won seven of eight, covering the spread in seven of those eight games as well. Point guard could be the determining factor in this game as the addition of Jamaal Tinsley has given Memphis some much needed depth at the position. The team has won 15 of 23 games since his signing. Meanwhile, Utah could be without Deron Williams again. Eventually, that's going to catch up with you, missing a player like Williams. The Grizzlies are 10-5 ATS at home this season while Utah is not a good road team at 6-10 SU, losing six of their last nine. Memphis has already beaten teams like Cleveland, Denver and Dallas and Phoenix. With the recent loss still on their minds, they can beat the Jazz. Take Memphis.

2* Phoenix (-6) over Miami [9:05pm]

Interesting stat about the Heat came up during the research for this game: In the last dozen occurennces, Miami is 2-10 SU & 3-9 ATS in the first road game of a two or more game trip. Also, these two teams come into this going in different directions, with Phoenix winning four of their last five both SU and ATS, including wins over the Lakers, Boston, Houston, and the Kings in Sacramento while Miami is 1-4 SU and ATS in their last five games. Suns get the job done here.

< BONUS TV PLAY, Not Part of Guarantee: Boston (+) over Atlanta

Even without Garnett, Celtics are the side here, as this team has a lot more depth than they did last year, when they played a big part of the season without The Big Ticket. Atlanta comes in off a blowout win over New Jersey, and the Hawks played about as well as a team can play in that game, hitting 57% from the field, 95% from the line, and 59% from long range. Tough to see that type of shooting prowess happening here against a very solid Boston defense. Numbers show that Boston is 14-5 ATS as away dogs of this price, 17-6 ATS after winning outright as a dog, and an impressive 55-16 SU when playing with revenge, 18-5 SU when revenging a home loss. Take the points here.

Thanks, and Good Luck!

NBA BLOWOUT OF THE YEAR

600? NEW ORLEANS HORNETS





This is about as ugly as they come, quite honestly.



I don't think I've seen a game, situation, matchup, scenario ... nothing. I don't think I've see one time this season where I believed there was a team that was going to get annihilated like the Nets will be tonight.



The Hornets are 13-3 at home this season and will be hosting the worst road team in the NBA, as New Jersey is 1-17 with a suitcase in hand. The Nets have lost five straight on the highway, where they began a three-game road trip Wednesday night in Atlanta, losing 119-89 - a 30-point loss just might be duplicated tonight.



New Jersey's paltry shooting saw Atlanta open up a 32-15 lead after the first quarter, as the Nets missed their first 11 shots from the field, a trait that has plagues this team on the road frequently. They've trailed after 12 minutes in each game of this road slide, allowing an average of 31.8 points in the first quarter and losing by an average 20.4 points.



And since New Orleans has owned this team in their most recent meetings, and all-star point guard Chris Paul has averaged 23.8 points and 10 assists during a four-game win streak against the hapless Nets, I don't see how this one stays close at all.



The Hornets are 4-0 SU and ATS after sweeping a two-game road trip to Utah and Oklahoma City - catching points in both. It's Friday night, and the party will be on down Bourbon Street after this blowout win tonight.
