My Bets

This is a follow up to my gambling post. I have decided to give everyone some of the bets I would make if gambling were legal (or if someone would actually take these odds). I was thinking about odds, game situations, and how I think some players will play.

Who will score the most TOTAL points in PCTI III?

Bet: Abe -140. Even at -140 it is a great value. He will get his shots.

Long shot: Bruise +250. Limited scoring on team, and they might try to pound the ball inside a lot.

Who will have the highest GAME HIGH in points in PCTI III?

Bet: Joe EV. When Joe gets hot from outside, he can score in bundles.

Long Shot: McKinney +500. Could benefit from inside out passing from Smo and familiarity w DK. Also he looks fabulous.

Who will have the most TOTAL rebounds in PCTI III?

Bet: Donley +250. Love this bet. Great value and depending on defensive assignments and minutes, this moose of a man can gobble up boards.

Long Shot: Beas +500. Could we see Beas hitting the boards hard on D?

Who will have the highest GAME HIGH in rebonds in PCTI III?

Bet: Sabin EV. When he gets close to double digits, he smells it and turns it up. Have potential for Ricky Davis throw it off the backboard for the stat.

Long Shot:The Spotlight +400. Good rebounder for his size and these odds are too good for one game.

Who will have the most TOTAL offensive rebounds in PCTI III?

Bet: AHOP +110. He knows this is his only way to be effective in the game. Also, lots of potential rebounds on his own missed layups.

Long Shot: Ben +300. Good instincts, big body. Does he have the energy?

Who will have the most TOTAL assists in PCTI III?

Bet: Brian EV. Good passer and ball handler. Likes to look for a pass before looking for his shot.

Long Shot: Smo +600. Good passer out of the post and doesn’t force up shots.

Who will have the highest GAME HIGH in assists in PCTI III?

Bet: Pitto -140. He logs good minutes and when he is creating for others, he makes good decesions.

Long Shot: Abe +900. 9 to 1 is way too high for someone that has the ball in his hands for a lot of possesions.

Who will have the most TOTAL turnovers in PCTI III?

Bet: AHOP +150. Headcase + Hungover Sunday= TO’s

Long Shot: DK +600. With someone not named Pitto “guarding” him, will he still have the high A/TO ratio?

Who will have the most TOTAL steals in PCTI III?

Bet: Pitto -120. Takes chances and is quick. If he doesn’t get a steal, his man will most likely score.

Long Shot: Wes +450. Good defender, quick hands, good instincts.

Who will have the most TOTAL blocks in PCTI III?

Bet: BC EV. Long and a good help defender. Smo might affect more shots but BC might get more swats.

Long Shot: Dr. Joe +225. 2 words: Explosive Athleticism.

Who will have the most TOTAL 3 point FG made in PCTI III?

Bet: Ben -110. This guy might have to turn into Kobe to score for his team. Lots of shots here

Long Shot: Donley +300. Will probably have a big man on him. If he gets hot, he could knock down a bunch of 3’s

I’ll refrain from the last 3 for now.
