5 minutes? Yeah, i think so...it didn't take long!

Some crazy lineup changes, players being rested left and right, one can gain a decent edge over the bookies. These last few weeks have been incredible for me, unfortunately, this shitshow is coming to an end with only a handful of reg season games left.

I also had the Cavs ML and a nice betbuilder (Cole was a late scratch and didn't play, so i hope they void him and not my entire ticket).

Both teams are also injury plagued, or at least that's the news from both camps, but however, what I really don't understand is how the Cavaliers are a +6 Points underdog, I understand that they're also playing with probably their 2nd, or even their 3rd unit, but are the Magic really that good with this line up below as their starting 5.

Jalen Suggs, Caleb Houstan, Chuma Okeke, Bol Bol and Moritz Wagner

Anyways, it's seem as though we have like minds on Jalen Suggs for tonight, I've got him on PRA 24.5 @ 1.86 on a local sport book.

GL mate!

EDIT: That's probably the easiest bet you've won on NBA right ? at least in recent times, having your bet settled before mid way into the first quarter

∆ Jalen Suggs 10+ points @1.83 ∆   won

Magic and Cavs, like almost every other team that doesn't have anything to play for/ or already locked up a seed, have ruled out their starters. Suggs and Cole Anthony are the only point guards available for tonight's game for Orlando (excluding MCW), with Suggs getting the nod to start. I expect both of them to get 30+ minutes and a healthy amount of FGAs on offense. I was able to grab Suggs at O9.5 a few minutes after the news broke, his current line is O/U15.5 points.

I agree. The Mavericks just needed few more games to prove in the league that they are really worthy to appear and participate in the play-in tournament or even playoffs if they can defeat whoever they meet in the tournament. But before they can do that, they must defeat their opponents on their last two games which is the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs, respectively, but even winning those games mentioned won't be enough because if the OKC won't suffer at least one defeat, the Mavs can't still participate.

Alex Caruso? This is a Phoenix vs Nuggets match-up mate but anyway, you might had a minor error on seeing the tip-off about their injuries.

Phoenix Suns -7.5 for as well because they got no reported injuries nor probable players for their game later against the Nuggets, while the latter got their core on a questionable status namely Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr, Gordon and KCP.

Adding to that, I'll be betting on the Philadelphia 76ers -2.5 vs Miami Heat. Maxey is questionable for the Sixers while Adebayo and Lowry for the Heat.

3 for 3 last night not bad.  These last couple games are going to be tough to determine who is who and what is what.  So far I'm down for 3 tonight:

Cavs on the road +9.5 against Orlando.  This will be a tough game for them and not needed in terms of a win but theor defensive rating should still keep them in the game like they did against the Knicks.

Phoenix -10.5 time to start laying in hard on them.  Gonna run with them through the playoffs.

And lastly give me the sixers -2.5.  Again at home and think they will want to end strong.  Like the sixers here.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Here are my picks for today's game well some game isn't really profitable so I will make a parley for these games,

Orlando Magic VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.22 for the Magic and 4.50 for the Cavaliers, Right now Jonathan Isaac is out for this season and there are no injuries for the Magic, while Caris LeVert, Dylan Windler, Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, and Evan Mobley can not play for the Cavaliers so with this kind of injuries for the Cavaliers I really think they will never have a chance against the Magic this time for sure, so my pick is the Orlando Magic,

San Antonio Spurs VS Portland Trail Blazers

The stake odds for this game are 1.57 for the Spurs and 2.49 for the Trail Blazers, Right now Doug McDermott, Khem Birch, Devonte' Graham, Devin Vassell, and Jeremy Sochan, can not play for the Spurs, and Zach Collins, Keldon Johnson, and Romeo Langford are all doubtful if they can play for the Spurs, while Jerami Grant, Jusuf Nurkic, Anfernee Simons, and Nassir Little, can not play for the Trail Blazers, and Shaedon Sharpe, Drew Eubanks, and Kevin Knox II are all doubtful if they can play for the Trail Blazers, but my pick is the San Antonio Spurs,

Utah Jazz VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for the Jazz, and 1.35 for the Thunders, right now Collin Sexton, Rudy Gay, Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kessler can not play for the Jazz, and Talen Horton-Tucker is doubtful if he can play for the Jazz while Aleksej Pokusevski, can not play for the Thunders and Luguentz Dort is doubtful if he can play for the Thunder, for this game because of the many injuries that the Jazz have I think the Thunder can surely make a great impression in this match, so my pick is the Oklahoma City Thunders,

Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.18 for the Suns and 5.20 for the Nuggets, Right now the Suns don't have any injuries, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Collin Gillespie can not play for the Nuggets, got this game I will let it slide and for this match, I think that the Phoenix Sun will win this because of the many injuries the Nuggets have,

Finally, a perfect bet after a long lost and splits.

This is what makes my day.
I watched only the whole game of the Mavs versus the Kings and half of the Clippers versus Lakers game. Both games give me some chills that the spreads might not be covered, thankfully they did.
The Pelicans bet was by chance when I saw them down by 6 or 8 if my memory is right. I know they are going to try harder to win the game, and so they did. They needed it, and now they are tied with the Lakers.

$1, $2, it doesn't matter. A win is a win and keep on sharing your tickets. I'll probably bump into it sometimes and tail it too. Nice win, congrats.
My same problem when betting live. Most of the time it will be canceled due to the moving odds. You have to be patient about it and make sure it went in first. My identification that might bet was locked is when they take it from my balance.

They were fortunate to win that game, but I am still not convinced by their play. It seems like they lack consistency, especially on the defensive side. Despite this, I still have faith in the Mavericks.

They might win the next two games, but what if OKC does the same? If that happens, they will be eliminated.

However, for betting purposes, it's good if we will back them on their succeeding games.

Well well well. I finally won a NBA ticket after a big big break. Too bad I only placed 1$ on the bet but still , the outcome is a winning one and looking forward to see what games we will have tonight.

Great for Mavs for finally achieving a victory and continue to have a chance to catch play offs but they need to win everything from now on.

Sorry for your mistake. It can happen to anyone, as I have experienced something similar. It's crucial to double-check our bets after submitting them.
I had high hopes for the Lakers to fight until the end, but the Clippers regained control in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers were unable to mount a comeback win. The Clippers deserve the win, they played hard tonight and effectively managed Westbrook's minutes, which prevented him from making mistakes at the end.

By the way, I won my bet on the Lakers over 112.5. I placed it at halftime.

Lakers try but Clippers doesn’t gave them an opportunity to recover until the end. It was a great back and forth match but Clippers continue to out score them whenever they are already recovering. Every players of Clippers contributed whenever they need someone to stop the momentum of Lakers. I want to commend Hyland for giving a relentless score on the last quarter when the time that Lakers is on the momentum of closing the gap. I think Lakers will win this game if Clippers doesn’t have an answer to Lakers aggression because Lebron and AD are monster when they are needed.

I was supposed to bet for Lakers +10.5 and AD to score over 16.5, I’m sure that I place my bet but it turns out that the odds change which cancel my bet. This is sucks because I thought that I already won when I login my sportsbook account. All my intense cheers goes nothing in the end. 

The LA Clippers are in control of the game now. Although the Lakers had a decent comeback in the third quarter, the Clippers are starting strong in the fourth. The game is not over yet, but based on the current trend, it appears that the Clippers may win and cover the spread.

Nice! Congratulations brother.
Woohoo, bonus! I am glad someone caught that. I think I was busy watching another game when that happened.
@LogitechMouse, very nice! Many of us won that Warriors bet.

LA Clippers versus LA Lakers coming up. Injury reports tell a lot of injuries on the Lakers' side while after checking the props I saw their trio available to bet for. Lebron, AD, and DLo.
But I do believe Westbrook will push his limits on this game because this win will be a critical part of the safe position in the playoffs. The same goes with Kawhi especially without PG13 yet to help them.
I will go with the Clippers -3.5 bet.

It seems that many of the top teams today are not playing at full capacity due to some star players being out. Therefore, I have a feeling that we will see several underdogs winning their games. The only game that is uncertain is the Lakers vs Clippers, as this will undoubtedly be the most crucial game of the season, as the winner will secure a playoff spot.

∆ J. Brown 25+ points / J. Brown 5+ rebounds @1.92 ∆   won


It sucks that everyone is being ruled out/rested, leaving no one to bet on...the next few days are going to be extremely difficult to find good plays/spots.

Celtics in particular will be without Tatum, Smart, and Horford today, which means J. Brown will be their #1 option on offense. He played twice last month without Tatum and finished 32/13 and 41/13, averaging 28 FG attempts. I'm banking on the sheer volume Brown is going to receive on offense, 25-30FGA range is not to be taken lightly. Raptors are middle of the pack in DefRtg /L3, so nothing too concerning there.

Host of games on tonight got in on 3 so far:

Knicks -4.5 julius and brunsen are out but I think they still have enough to take this down

Boston -3 at home
Bucks -7.5 at home

I still like both as the top 2 teams in the east should at least get 1 of the 2 right!

Looking at some over unders and also considering taking the kings on the road in Dallas getting 6.5. Unsure since Dallas should be playing desperate here.

Either way good luck everyone

I will try my luck once again on NBA after 1 week break where I just watched highlights and some games here and there during the weekend.

For tonight , I had this baby bet already placed with a very small stake but ...I can't trust my picks on NBA as much as I did last season.



Skeptical a bit about Mavs and their recent performances but I do hope and believe they are up to put up a great game and take that W.

I really knew that the Warriors will do what they are doing on their home. Being down double digits at one point then in the 2nd half, they will make a comeback and winning. They did it against the Blazers, they again did it against the Pelicans, and now they did it against the Thunder. They are down double digits on the halftime, but went on winning by double digits. I put my bet on them twice because I felt that they will make a comeback in the 2nd half, and they really did. Congratulations to all of us winners.


Poole and Curry combined for 64 points, while their bench scored 42 points in total. It's always good to see Looney out there fighting for rebounds. I mean if you watch the game, you always see him fighting for rebounds, and that's the reason why the shooters of the Warriors can just shoot threes if needed because they know that they have Looney who can get offensive rebounds like in this game where he got 4 offensive rebounds. I guess the team that will face the Warriors in the first round should be having a hard time defeating them. They played on this one without Klay Thompson, and they still got the victory.

Yeah, it was fun to watch the Warriors, you just have to trust them that they will make a huge run in the last two quarters and that's what they did here. Jordan Poole was the man in the fourth quarter, but Steph may have put the dagger with that 3 to push their lead. It was a suffocating defense on their side, with Draymond and then Looney with the offensive rebounds. And Donte and GPII when they both played in the floor, is a beauty to see them play defense.

My T'Wolves live betting:



While the Jazz give the Lakers all they can take and force an OT. Here is my live betting parlay with the Over and Warriors winning:



For the Nuggets, they lost to the Houston Rockets, live betting here:



While I was able to get Memphis at -1.5 when they are down in the fourth or the score is tied at 96-96 (it was very ugly at the start of the fourth quarter hehehe).
