    I could not find anywhere to back up these odds, ie to make some money.

    Show me a link. I've never gambled online before (I haven't even played poker for pennies in a decade), but hell yeah I'm going to start if that's true. No way Portland finishes under 50 wins. Even if Roy goes down for the season in game 1, I still think there's a pretty fair chance we win 50.

    I'm serious. I'll put $500 on that fucker.

    Vegas seems to think the overall strength of the league will be more balanced, thus altering the win totals back down.

    So the Blazers only winning 49 may be disappointing to Blazer fans, it still may be pretty good. Where do they have the other Western teams?

    I've frequented sports gambling websites for a couple years now. Do research on which sites to use if your going to. Bodog pays out within 2 weeks of cashing out. Sportsbook and bookmaker are other good sites.

    I think he was referencing the NBA.com writer that quoted that. I'm pretty close to the oddsmaking industry and I'm pretty sure the over/under for wins hasn't been released and isn't even that close to being released yet. Add that to the fact that I'm guessing the range will be somewhere between 53-56 using regression models, so there is no way the computers and arbitrage are going to move them down to 49.

    I am in Nevada now. Next time I am have the opportunity to waltz into a casino sportsbook I will check it out. I would place money on 49 games. I think that is a pretty good bet to take the over, even considering the injury risk with the Blazers roster history.

    Somehow, I doubt that bet exists. Just seems too good. 54 games 2 years ago. 50 games with an injury hobbled roster. Now everyone is currently healthy except Pryz, and 49 is the call?

    If this is *really* the case, I'd throw down a few hundred on the Blazers going over 49 wins. (And I never gamble.)

    I doubt those are the real odds, too. That's the number ESPN predicted, right?

    I heard it on the BFT I think. I was thinking what most of you guys are thinking....that is some easy money. Another easy one should be the Thunders over/under...Vegas will probably have them winning 60.

    That all depends on how many "Donnaghy's" are left in the league. Now it isn't such sure money is it?

    You're a smart man. I know exactly what you mean and think you are probably right.

    The only lines I see open for NBA are for MVP and Rookie of the Year.

    I looked around. The only thing I see is that we have 35/1 odds to win a title this year.

    Heat are 7/4 odds and Lakers 11/4.
