How about this one for a parlay victory?  Had to do something to make up for missed money last week.  Sorry I couldn't post it.  Imagine the Suns being underdogs in that game.  Smiley


Congratulations. That's a nice win.

Had a good win at halftime of the game between the Golden State Warriors versus the Atlanta Hawks.

69-68 was the score at that time with the Warriors in the lead but it was actually a 10+ lead and they got messy. Found the opportunity at that close fight and I felt that they could win so I locked at -3.5. I could've extended it more but that's fine.

Washington Wizards - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - Won!
Miami Heat - Memphis Grizzlies - Miami Heat (-10.5) Lost! Crappy Miami Heat at both ends of the floor.
Milwaukee Bucks - Cleveland Cavaliers - Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) Won!
Houston Rockets - Portland Trail Blazers - Houston Rockets (-10.5) Lost! Ouch!

Later we have 7 games. Ooh, a nice day to make a parlay.
Back-to-back games: Wizards, Timberwolves, Heat, Warriors (this team had a good rest in the last 3 minutes of the games yesterday.)

Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-5.5)
Indiana Pacers - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) - Tobias Harris might not play.
Brooklyn Nets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-1.5) Mike Conley will not play.
New York Knicks - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-1.5) Nuggets defense became a big problem and so is their bench, I hope they could at least win this one despite those issues. Jamal Murray will probably go wild again.
Miami Heat - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-5.5) - After I saw how bad Miami plays, I won't bet for them until they solve those issues or maybe after they win a game.

Good luck everyone.

1- Luka Magic  +1.5
Dallas are in 2 losing streak, they badly need a win now, and their best chance IMO is at home against a streaky Phoenix Suns. Irving and Luka are listed as questionable, hopefuly they'll play though to make this game interesting to watch.

2-Warriors -7
They have a long rest so I'm betting on the fresh legs against the Hawks who are struggling a bit. I feel like it's just like a come back game for the Warriors, so their energy is high, enough to beat the Hawks by double digit.

3-Spurs +7.5
Thunder on a back to back game, they might be tied travelling to the San Antonio. And I don't like their performance against the TrailBlazers, I think Spurs can beat them.

Another 1 of 3 evening. Won on the Warriors but badly lose on the Spurs and Luka Magic bet.

Regardless, I'll be picking again.

1-Pacers +5.5 and ML

After a historical performance of Embiid, everyone's focus is on the 76ers now. However, since Pacers are on a losing streak and I feel they are so desperate to win, so I think +5.5 is just a good value that can't be skip.

2-Miami Heat +8

They are on the back to back game, loss to the undermanned Memphis and now up against the best in the East. I hope they'll not be off and tired, they need to get back to the game and start wining. Beat Celtics and proved the doubters wrong.

3- Knicks +2 and ML

Denver are on a run, I bet everyone are betting on the defending champ. I'm on the opposite side.

If you are watching the game you might feel the thrill because Cavaliers came back from a huge deficit and they were able to reduce the lead of the Bucks to 6 points only in the 4th quarter IIRC. At the beginning, it looks easy since they are in control with 20 points margin, but you know the Cavaliers, they are on a hot streak and they know how to come back, good thing the 3 point shooting save them this game.

Well done @ralle14, another win to be listed. CASHED!

The Bucks spread (-6.5) is nice against the Cavs who are currently on their 8th win streak. One part worth noting is that most of the wins the Cavs had recently came from teams they're expected to beat like the Wizards, Hawks, and Nets. The Bucks did lose in their meeting last week, but that was when they didn't have Giannis, and assuming Giannis will be on the lineup, they should have the edge.

Even though the Bucks are likely to win, they're as bad as the Suns if we're talking about the spread, so this one could still go either way.





I like to ask if anybody here were able to bet on Suns live when they are down like 15 points or more, what was the moneyline odds at that time?

I like the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Milwaukee Bucks to both win tonight.  They're both dominant teams.  I'm staying away from the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns game though.  For whatever reason Luka Doncic seems to have the Suns' number.  I would never bet against him, but I'm not sure I can bet against KD the way he's playing either.  That'll be a good one to watch tonight though.

I hit a couple monster parlays last week but wasn’t able to post them here beforehand. A bummer because I hit a couple long odds masterful parlays that gave me probably my most profitable gambling week ever. I’ll have to keep my eye on the schedule to see what magical multi bet opportunities are there for this week…

A good day for me.

Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) - Won! The Pacers did scare me there. The 13-point lead was cut to a tie game and I thought the Nuggets would lose that game.

Brooklyn Nets - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-1.5) - Won! This too scared me. Nets was on a good lead and then the Knicks came back from behind. Nice game from Randle.

New Orleans Pelicans - Utah Jazz - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) Won! Pelicans are too strong for the Jazz.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Portland Trail Blazers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-11.5) - Lost! OKC cannot get a big gap against the Trail Blazers. They kept on coming back and the Thunder actually almost lost this game. Big mistake from Coach Chauncey for getting a technical twice.
Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Clippers (-7.5) - Won! Kawhi Leonard with a triple-double. Nice. 2nd of his career.


4 of 5.

8 games later.
The Trail Blazers and Thunder playing back-to-back games.
Here are my early picks.
Washington Wizards - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5)
Miami Heat - Memphis Grizzlies - Miami Heat (-10.5)
Milwaukee Bucks - Cleveland Cavaliers - Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5)
Houston Rockets - Portland Trail Blazers - Houston Rockets (-10.5)

Dallas Mavericks versus Phoenix Suns will be fun to watch. Going for live betting there. Wink
Good luck everyone.

My picks  are ;

Indiana +3.5.

Back at home with 2 losses on the road. I think they won't allow to continue their losing streak, and if they'll lose I think +3.5 is enough for them to cover. Denver is great, are on a 2 win streak but I feel this is a trap and home team will win.

Brooklyn +4.5

After a strong performance on their last 2 games. Beat LA Lakers but lose to the Clippers on a 22-0 run (IIRC), I think they are ready to win at home. So to be a bit safer, I got the handicap.

Pelicans -6.5

After long win streak, Jazz now struggled on the road. I think Pelicans are the better team than the Rockets. Coming off from a loss to Phoenix at home, I'm sure they will bounce back stronger.

1 out of 3. Not a profitable night. However, I'm still happy with my pick as my pick on Indiana and Broolyn could have won. too bad I pick early on the Pacers, I could have get +5.5 benefiting from the line movement. Anyway, I have to move on and start picking on the upcoming games.


1- Luka Magic  +1.5
Dallas are in 2 losing streak, they badly need a win now, and their best chance IMO is at home against a streaky Phoenix Suns. Irving and Luka are listed as questionable, hopefuly they'll play though to make this game interesting to watch.

3-Spurs +7.5

@danherbias07, almost perfect you have there. 4/5 last night, and you only fall to the OKC as they didn't cover the spread. I believe OKC would have lost that game but was only save by the technical of Chauncey Billups, that mistake by Chauncey Billups cost them a game. SGA miss the first FT and tied the game on the 2nd, but they still had the possession and Williams makes the game winning shot.

I think coach has to be careful when games are close like that, there maybe calls or non calls they would not agree but just let the game flow, don't get affected with the emotion as big win might result to a disappointing loss like what happened.

That was quite a close call, congratulations!

Brooklyn Nets were supposed to call timeout after the second missed throw from Jalen Brunson with about 18 seconds plus left to play but the coach allowed time to run off the clock and that was definitely to their disadvantage as the Knicks were able to set up a defensive play, even with 18 seconds and down 3 they could have gone for a quick 2, and play the long game.
When Brunson missed that second free throw, my heart sank thinking the Nets would spoil the spread and i'm glad they couldn't get one in. Grin
I'm thinking on the opposite possibility as I had Brooklyn +4.5. When the lead was 3 for the Knicks, all they need to do is to bring the game to overtime, and if they'll win they'll foul, that was I expected and it did happen. 2 FT from Randle, clutch shooter, I was hoping he'll miss at least 1 so my bet would win.

Props to the Nets player who made an unnecessary foul in the last three seconds after they missed that shot.
I think they are still suppose to fight, it would not be justifiable if they will just let it go and accept the lose without fighting.
But that's just my personal opinion though, and I could be wrong.

The Knicks vs. Nets game is so trappy i'm still taking the Knicks since the Nets were atrocious the other day against the Clippers and failed to close out the game while having a big lead.

I guess it'll depend on who'll fuck up less as the Knicks can easily give this away if the Nets can redeem themselves and make little to no mistakes.



Edit: Another lackluster fourth quarter from the Nets and what a comeback from the Knicks, winning by 5 points after going down as much as 10 points.

Sacramento Kings - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (10.5)


Mate can I make a comment? Maybe I'm wrong but I just want to say this. Honestly, I don't like the line of the Hawks which is +8.5 now. For me, this seems to be a trap since the Kings are on a losing streak, so most likely if they will win, it will be via blowout so they will also cover the spread.
Yes, sir, it was a damn trap. Thanks for that but I was late and I cannot change my bet anymore. Pull it back and I will lose some $. I appreciate it though, next time I will check back in this thread after sharing my picks.

0/4 for me yesterday. Very bad day. Hoping I could win it back today.

5 games only. Here are my picks.
Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) Hali won't play again, Nuggets should steal this game on the road.

Brooklyn Nets - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-1.5) Knicks on the road is 12 wins and 12 losses. 50 percent is good enough.

New Orleans Pelicans - Utah Jazz - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) I know Utah Jazz are one of the hot teams now but they had been losing in their last 2 games. Pelicans playing at home will probably win this one. I just wish the spreads would be covered.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Portland Trail Blazers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-11.5) OKC will probably continue their winning streak, it's just the spreads again where I am mostly worried. Taking the ML is unprofitable.

Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Clippers (-7.5) Lebron James won't play which will affect them big time. AD is probable to play and so is Vanderbilt.

Good luck everyone, have a fun day.

3-Brooklyn +6.5

4 losing streak. Not a good team to back, but since I coudl not find another game to bet, I think I'll stick with this one and back the team that has a very low chance of winning.

2 of 3 last time.  Now, I'm back with 3 picks, 2 of 3 is the target to profit, but 3 of 3 would be good.

My picks  are ;

Indiana +3.5.

Back at home with 2 losses on the road. I think they won't allow to continue their losing streak, and if they'll lose I think +3.5 is enough for them to cover. Denver is great, are on a 2 win streak but I feel this is a trap and home team will win.

Brooklyn +4.5

After a strong performance on their last 2 games. Beat LA Lakers but lose to the Clippers on a 22-0 run (IIRC), I think they are ready to win at home. So to be a bit safer, I got the handicap.

Pelicans -6.5

After long win streak, Jazz now struggled on the road. I think Pelicans are the better team than the Rockets. Coming off from a loss to Phoenix at home, I'm sure they will bounce back stronger.

^^ I'll tail you on this game.

I think the Sixers is more capable to cover that spread against the struggling Spurs.

Dallas vs Boston, - would love to see Dallas and Luka pull another magic here, so Dallas ML for me. Luka against the best team in the league with Tatum and Brown. Kyrie too, I'm expecting him to score big in this game.

I'm taking the sixers tonight and as a hedge I'm taking the over on embid 35.5 points.  If this game is close and the sixers don't cover embid will get a lot of playing time and he will absolutely dominate the inside with wemby in there.  Might take a stab at the over on rebounds too.  Embid has been dominant and I'm riding his overs until he cools down.

Nice pick mate, Embiid had a monster game tonight with a career high 70 points coupled with 18 rebounds. With his showings on the last couple of games, i think he will be the talk for the regular season MVP award candidate.

That turns out to be a close game but in the end Suns were able to cover the spread. Unfortunately not on my case since I bet early, the line movement was insane, it started at -5.5 and ended at -7.5 and I too the last line which I lose since Suns only won by 7 points. Tomorrow they'll play again, I think I'm going to bet against them as I like the fresh team which is the Bulls.
It was close and I thought the Suns would lose the game plus the spread when the Pacers got the lead. I did have to buy a point as the current spread was around -6.5 when I placed my bet and convinced myself to push it down because of the Suns' bad ATS record.


I'm going for the big favorite today with the Sixers -13.5 against the Spurs. I've been thinking between them or the Timberwolves since they're both facing weaker teams and saw their ATS record overall better than the latter.



Edit: The back-to-back buckets from the Spurs in the end cost us the spread.  Lips sealed
