Lost my bet for Team Deron.
Congratulations to those who bet for Team Pau. Jose Alvarado hit the final 3-pointer to claim the win against Team Joakim and he was also announced as the Rising Stars MVP. He also didn't stop being a pest on the defensive end. His signature skill.

@stadus, thanks for the All-Star roster update.
@Distinctin, Where did you get the lines? I don't see it yet at Stake.com but here is what they shared at CBS.

Here are the odds on the other events.

Credits to Stake.com
I have not set my bet for Team Giannis or Team Lebron yet. But I already have my pick for the other events.
Three points contest - Buddy Hield - I like this guy when it comes to shooting threes. 42.6 percent is a good number.
Slam Dunk contest - Kenyon Martin Jr. - Risky but I will take it, I am really amazed at his high-flying skill.
Skill Challenge - Team Rookies
Parlay is not allowed, so singles it is.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

It's hard to predict, but I will go with the more aggressive team captain, and that is Giannis. He is hungry to win and will try to win another MVP award. LeBron has already slowed down in the All-Star game, and since Curry is not in the West, I think this game would be fair.

Team Lebron 1.69
Team Giannis 2.23

Great odds for the underdog.

I didn't watch the NBA Rising Star Challenge live, but I will watch the highlights so that I'm not late on the news. The most anticipated part of the weekend is the real All-Star game, featuring a matchup between Team Giannis and Team LeBron.

Although Team Giannis is the favorite, I think the West has more talent than the East, so I'm leaning towards Team LeBron. However, since it's not a serious game, it's hard to make predictions, so let's just enjoy the game with some friendly bets.

NBA commissioner made a last change that the teams in the mock draft will be naming the reserves first and then the starting five. This game is quite interesting if only it will be a serious game just like what we saw while growing up but since the All-Star game now is more about circus and exhibition then that makes the game more unpredictable to bet. But I think this will belong to LeBron as the NBA has been so vocal about it already that they will focus this on LeBron's achievement and legacy.

Anyway, here are the starting five of Team Giannis and Team LeBron:

Team LeBron:
1. LeBron James
2. Luka Doncic
3. Nikola Jokic
4. Kyrie Irving
5. Lauri Markkanen

Team Giannis:
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Joel Embiid
3. Jayson Tatum
4. Donovan Mitchell
5. Ja Morant

I expected win from Phoenix, but it didn't happen.
Terance Mann played a big part in the win yesterday.
Too bad there wasn't a game tonight.

Congratulations, bro.
Yeah, Terance Mann had a big night and PG13 praised him during the interview. He is young, learning, and active. That's how stars are created and he did great in that game against the Suns. The defense against him is so low that he can always get away from his defender. Thankfully, he is always spotted by his teammates. Kawhi having a rough night but someone will have to step up his game and that is the "Mann". Grin

I really don’t like the new way that they’re naming these All-Star teams. It makes it difficult to gamble on who the winner is going to be when you don’t know what the teams are until the day before the game. It isn’t very respectful for the casuals that might not be available to place bets during such a short time frame. I hope the NBA does away with this draft stuff for the all star games.

They twisted it a bit and it's stuck. I wish they twist it to normal again. Just let it be East versus the West. Early bettors who like to take advantage of the odds will have to wait until they post it.
I like @wheelz1200 suggestion, just go for the total over scores. I may try that when the lines come out. Thanks.

Let's talk about the upcoming All-Star Game. We can check the schedules here.
https://www.nba.com/news/2023-all-star-schedule-of-events

Speaking of All-Stars, here is our tomorrow's game.

And here is the roster.

Quote

Team Pau: Paolo Banchero, Bennedict Mathurin, Jaden Ivey, Scottie Barnes, Jose Alvarado, Keegan Murray, Andrew Nembhard
Team Deron: Franz Wagner, Jalen Green*, Alperen Sengun, Trey Murphy III, AJ Griffin, Bones Hyland, Walker Kessler, Ayo Dosunmu**
Team Joakim: Evan Mobley, Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams, Jeremy Sochan, Quentin Grimes, Jabari Smith Jr., Jalen Duren*, Tari Eason**
Team Jason: Sidy Cissoko (G League Ignite), Scoot Henderson (G League Ignite), Mojave King (G League Ignite), Kenneth Lofton Jr. (Memphis Hustle), Mac McClung (Deleware Blue Coats), Leonard Miller (G League Ignite), Scotty Pippen Jr. (South Bay Lakers)

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-all-star-rising-stars-game-2023-live-stream-format-rosters-teams-how-to-watch-online-start-time/

I was actually surprised Deron Williams will coach the other team of the Rising Stars. I am a big fan of his from Utah Jazz paired with AK47 to Brooklyn Nets, (with his crossovers mostly, watch his highlights, they are damn good) until he was just gone without a big issue. He just wants to spend more time with his family, that's it.
Looking at the roster he is coaching, I will definitely bet for his team. Wagner and Sengun might play this explosively. Cheesy

Team Joakim looks like a formidable team too unless Team Jason's roster which is mostly G-league players will show off with scouts watching on the sidelines.

Actually it turns out that it was a big issue when Deron Williams left the Jazz that time because he has a beef with the late former coach of the Jazz Jerry Sloan. Not sure if everyone is familiar with the story but it's here,

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfmSwUFIy4/

So they ended up their marriage at a bitter divorce and Deron never talk to Jerry Sloan after he was traded and then Sloan retired as coach of Utah after 23 years. But it's good that they straight things up, Deron reaching to Sloan to make amends before Jerry passes away.

This is from the archives: https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=51230275&itype=CMSID about Sloan resigning as Utah Jazz coach.

Quote

Tearful Sloan says, 'My time is up'

So that's one for the history books folks, Grin

And speaking of Deron Williams, yeah, I will put a bet on his team to win. They are now underdogs at @2.05 odd so that is a very attractive for me.

Just bang the over and not care about the teams lol. Seriously the over always looks so untouchable until you see them start playing and they get up 100 points in a quarter. The x factor is the last quarter, that's the only time they start playing defense. With the way guys can shoot now I'm banking on the over. Let's the chips fall where they may with the draft.

Suns vs Clippers - gonna be a good match up here, ML for Clippers for me, @1.93.

Parlay both my picks @3.71.

Congratulations bro, perfect night.

Finally I hit my picks for tonight's game, I stay away from the Wizards vs Timberwolves game and it was the right decision for me because I can't decide on that game.

Congrats to you as well almost perfect and for those who win tonight. At least we have a win before the All Star Break.

Wow! Congratulations mate, you aced it impressively! What a good way to earn and have some good spare savings to bet on the upcoming All-Star break. Speaking of, do you guys already have some bets in mind?

While for me, I only got the Bucks right and not the Suns as my thought was quite divided because I had that feeling that the Suns might explode but it didn't happen earlier Grin

Same here, I also avoided the Wizards vs Wolves match-up. Can't really think thoroughly who got better chances as the handicap is not that really reasonable for me.

Congrats and you are right not to bet with Wizard and Wolves game as the game outcome is something that you'll be itchy in your head
if you are a fan of heavy favorite.
Less than 6 minutes of the game where a big turnaround happened. It was the wolves who's controlling the game but the aggressiveness
of Wizard brings them the win that they really needed, just can't believe that Wolves will let this thing happened in front of their home
fans, letting their opponents to outscored them in the last and very important quarter of the game.

Nice parlay! A 2-game parlay is good enough to hit a decent profit with 3.71 odds. I think choosing the Clippers was the right decision because they were due for a win, and you were correct; they won the game without any problems.

I will tail you with the Bucks -7. Quite risky but I think they can make it as Bulls is on the same situation as well.

We almost lose there when Giannis was injured in the first quarter, I am glad the players left somehow got thru it. Brook Lopez ate something good before the game scoring 33 points. Grin

Getting worked yet again tonight, but by the Milwaukee Bucks this time around. I didn’t put any money on this game, I think I’ll be betting against the Bulls going forward.

I hope you did bet for the Bucks because it's a W. Any spread you picked before the game started is covered. Cheesy

2/3

Quote from: danherbias07 on February 16, 2023, 10:16:27 AM

Minnesota Timberwolves - Washington Wizards - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5) - Loss
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) @2.47 Win - Covered.

Not a bad end result before the All-Star break.
To all the winners' congratulations. Let's all enjoy the All-Star even though sometimes they get boring. Cheesy

Last 3 games before the break gonna go on all the home teams!

Call me crazy but I got the bulls +8 at home. Think they can back door cover here.

I like the Timberwolves at home -3. Think after the break they turn it wlaround fully here. When Kat comes back they are my dark horse.

And last gimme the Suns-1 at home against the Clippers. Suns start theor run at the top of the league here.

Good luck everyone!!

Phew! That's quite a bet you got there mate, your early bets didn't go well as the Bulls was defeated, as well as the Wolves and Suns.

Personally, I did also bet on the Suns at the same handicap but unfortunately, the Big Three didn't explode as Booker fell short and CP3 only got 5 points for the team and that doesn't surprise me because this team is like a switch toggle in my perspective. But my Bucks -7 did go through as they defeated the home team, the Chicago Bulls.

Congratulations to all bettors out there who got a successful end on their bets. Let's get ready for the All-Star weekend.

Although they are +8 at home, they still could not cover it.

The spread depends on the likelihood of a team winning. The Bucks are on a winning streak and good at dominating their opponents, so it's not surprising that the Bulls are heavy underdogs, and that +8 is actually very tempting if you still believe the Bulls have a chance of winning. Without DeRozan, it will be hard to win against a strong team like the Bucks.

Nice decision. The Bulls are not a bad team, but their inconsistency has caused bettors to lose money. After some good wins, they are now on a losing streak. I had thought the Bulls would make it to the playoffs, but the way they are playing now, I think this team has a problem and might miss the playoffs this season.

I put a few satoshis down on the Chicago Bulls defeating the Indy Pacers, who were favored to win the game at -2.5 points. The Bulls have dropped like 4 or 5 straight, so it's nice to see them play really well, at least so far tonight especially without Demar DeRozan playing in this game.

Nice seeing contributions from Coby White and Ayo Dosunmo, they've really stepped up tonight in the absence of DeRozan.

Man, that's a loss again. Most of us took the bet for Indiana Pacers and it hit, even my -3.5. The Bulls had that 24-point lead in the first quarter and I even thought it was going to be a blowout game but the Pacers pushed hard to make the game close until they got the lead in the last minutes of the game.

Quote from: danherbias07 on February 15, 2023, 10:54:57 AM

Let me second the motion. Going for the Indiana Pacers here @-3.5. I am so done with the Chicago Bulls, I have never felt a win at all the bets I made for them. Time to let go.

Win! I was praying Zach LaVine will miss that one free throw and it was answered. Cheesy

Thank you for the tip @freedomgo

Charlotte Hornets - San Antonio Spurs - Charlotte Hornets (-4.5) - Win.
Memphis Grizzlies - Utah Jazz - Memphis Grizzlies (-7.5) - Loss. Didn't cover, I need 2 more points.
Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-5.5) - Win
Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML - Loss. They tried to get close after a 27-point lead early in the game. They made an 18-3 run but it was not enough.

3/5 Not bad.
Betting for the New Orleans Pelicans +11.5. Caught in the first quarter. They are still down by 10.

Lol I’m beyond myself. The Bulls were up like 20 points around the half way mark, or something close to that, yet to only blow the game, once again, for their 5th straight loss. They just completely fell apart. What a joke.

Getting worked yet again tonight, but by the Milwaukee Bucks this time around. I didn’t put any money on this game, I think I’ll be betting against the Bulls going forward.

Chicago Bulls - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) They will have a very long rest so I doubt they will rest Giannis even if they are on a safe seed in the East. It's just better if they could take the 1st seed. Well, they are just 2 games behind the Celtics so it can be done.
I wish this time my spread will be covered, unlike yesterday.

No time for Giannis to rest now. I don't expect for a player who has this "Mamba Mentality" to just rest if he knows he can play.

Middleton is the one who rested in this game because of right knee soreness. At the same time, Connaughton and Portis are ruled out as well.

Quote from: danherbias07 on February 16, 2023, 10:16:27 AM

Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) @2.47 I've seen the Clippers play with their newly recruited players from the trade and they are better. More options for their defense and the new guys are not weak on the defensive end too. Normal Powell will sit this one.

I put my bet on the Suns on this one to win.
The Clippers are a very good team, and currently 5th in the West, but I believe that the Suns have players who have stepped up since the KD trade like Okogie and with Booker playing, I guess they will defend this one on their home. Let's not forget that 19 assists made by CP3.

Anyway, here are my bets for today. I tried to make a multi-bet on 2 teams and a single bet on one team.

Good luck to all.
