Acela bet

[smo1a]

boston -15.5 (3 units)

I will double my bet on the knicks on the 25th if this does not cover. I'm sure you all rember this situation as mentioned before. Basically when a team visits Bos and NY on b2b games (not days), if one team doesn't cover the first game, the next game will be covered. I believe this may be 100% situation dating 10 years.

So, if boston does not cover the spread tonite against the Clips, the Knicks will cover Wednesday.

Good luck tonight fellas

The rule is a team goes to either boston/knick and beat them, the next game they won't cover ATS at Knick/Boston. The play should be on the 2nd game

 

[smo1a]

When the line hits for Wednesday it will be 7 units on the Knicks. If anyone has a line projection I'd appreciate their input.

Thanks!

 

[D-Woww]

just a guess....if the games in NY I'd say NY -11

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] the trip with the most interesting and profitable results involves a trip you can take on the Acela, the high speed train that goes between Boston and New York, with the round trip taking under four hours. The Celtics’ and Knicks’ franchises have a wealth of basketball history and success associated with them. They are in the “club” of past NBA champions. As such, these two have a certain amount of respect for each other. This respect is not manifested when they play each other – the respect is apparent when another team is trying to sweep the storied franchises on the road, back-to-back.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]It seems as if New York and Boston have a pact – unspoken or other otherwise – that no team will sweep them consecutively. If a team beats the Knicks in New York, the Celtics go all out to prevent the 2-0, New York – Boston sweep. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Similarly, if a team beats the Celtics in Boston, the Knicks “pick them up” by playing significantly above the linesmakers expectations. This “agreement” has been going on for quite some time. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]In fact, the league is 0-9 ATS (-8.4 ppg) since March 6th 1996 in Boston after beating the Knicks in New York. Similarly, the league is 0-10 ATS (-9.2 ppg) since January 20th 1997 in New York after beating the Celtics in Boston!

Thanks!

I'd guess maybe 6-6.5

 

[tuck321]

Its a little hard for me to believe there is some point of honor involved when Boston wins the first game by 13.

 

[tbone14]

NYK -7

 

[smo1a]

my mistake as I thought it was ats, not su. still a play on the knicks -7, but for only 4 units.

good luck tonitetonite!

 

[Go play Intramurals]

I hope this shit works

 

[STEED]

[Jumpsinn]

[tbone14]

[Gandolf]

Maybe the Clips flew to NY.
