Betting: NBL Round 13/WNBL Semi Finals

AshT

Just insist on rounding to the nearest 10.

BTW, final score 84-95=179, despite that I've tried adding it together with a calculator and everything but it always equals 179.

"Brisbane - Adelaide Over 179.5 @ 1.90"

Could have Mitch Creek possibly told Moore to miss that last free throw?

Something today hopefully less painful than Kings trying to put away witches hats.


New Zealand - Cairns Under 169 @ 1.92

NZ (10-7) off three of past four games with #1 ranked 36ers and the other with #3 Kings, has perhaps helped pump the number higher than it should be. Cairns Over just 2.5 times all season were with top two ranked teams. H2H; 153, 143. Opened an even higher number but has now tightened right in to 165, which seems to still have some juice left in it.


Brisbane - Adelaide Over 179.5 @ 1.90

Bullets 7-12 at 172ppg, 36ers 10-8 at 181ppg but some good numbers at a deeper look, including a heavy predominace of low ranked opposition for both. H2H; 167. Currently a bit of 180.5 remains, which perhaps is around a cutoff IMO.

Sydney Kings 2.59 & +4 @ 1.95

Good chance if can respond on good rest from a poor SH last game and with Wildcats on a road stretch.

Sportsbet still showing today's game as a 50/50 contest.
(Interestingly, place a head-to-head bet and you'll only get $1.83 for each team. Go with the 0.5 point margin and it's worth $1.87 each)

Just emailed pinnacle..

Don't know, I just assume a sharp backed something that sent it OTB. No movement at TAB or Tattsbet.

Not really.. what was the bet placed earlier today?

No, Pinnacle have been OTB for longer than usual following a sharp wager. Occasionally they do forget to go back up too I believe.

Have you something in mind today?

Any idea why today’s WNBL semi is off the board ?

Boomers are very good value I agree.

Thought I was going to jinx the 36ers bet for a moment or two after having a little poke at the MVP fave & second fave (not their fault they are rated a bit short priced). I'd imagine both may feature in the votes last night.


WNBL tonight,

Melbourne Boomers 2.65 & +4.5 @ 1.90

The market anticipates a Lynx bounce-back at home but I fear minds may be more willing than a 'recovery day' of extra road fatigue will allow. Losing can become a habit too, while Boomers only need deal with any complacency factor and they are in the box seat.

Probably should start a seperate MVP betting thread?

Tonight,

Adelaide 36ers +1 @ 1.92

In good shape with players back and should be poised to get on a run. Get their chance tonight while Perth are on the road.

NBL MVP:

Travis Trice @ 15.00

Team is a little low on wins but just think he's having an excellent season, flying under the radar whilst others seem talked up, due to reputation or because they've got an exiting vertical leap. Has played every game so far, leads league in assists per game and has been a match winner at crunch times. If he can carry his team to victory over Cairns they then have six of nine at home to finish the season.

Just wanted to let people know, Taipans big Ian Crosswhite is still in doubt for Friday, may be medically cleared pending an exam on Thursday.
