We thought about similar things, but it didn't turn out the way we thought. I lost my bet by 3 points.
I'm happy that my other bet won.

It seems to me that there were a lot of bettors here who fell into the Lakers trap because like me, I'm also expecting that the Lakers will push their luck and win the game today while they are also celebrating Lebron for taking Kareem's throne as the #1 All-time scorer. Sadly, the opposite happen as it looks like they were just focusing on the history alone and not on their present game.

Anyway, I'll tail you with the Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers, good luck to us.

Certainly, I had the impression that I was just watching a friendly game between a national team and a university team, especially on the 1st quarter? It was 49-19, imagine that 30-point gap that the Wolves gave to the Nuggets and that score became wider until the 1st half ended.
Just like that, it was an easy journey for the Nuggets who doesn't even have Jokic and Murray on the floor.

Even though I have a Perfect Losses I really want to get back what I lost so here are my pick for tomorrow's game,

Washington Wizards VS Charlotte Hornets

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Wizards and 2.65 for the Hornets, Right now Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma are both questionable if they can play, while Cody Martin and Kelly Oubre Jr. can not play for the Hornets, For this game, it is hard to bet for the Hornets right now even though there are injuries for both teams, I still think that the Wizards can pour a spread over the Hornets winning the game so my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Boston Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Celtics and 2.60 for the 76ers, Right now Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, and Robert Williams III, Jaylen Brown, Luke Kornet, and Marcus Smart are questionable if they can play for the Celtics, while Joel Embiid is the only one doubtful if he can play for the 76ers, for me even though Joel Embiid played for he 76ers, I think Jayson Tatum can still manage to make a great performance, so my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Utah Jazz VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.49 for the Jazz and 2.75 for the Timberwolves, Right now Micah Potter can not play for the Jazz, and Jarred Vanderbilt is questionable if he can play for the Jazz, while Karl-Anthony Towns, can not play for the Timberwolves, Kyle Anderson is questionable if he can play, for this game I really liked the Jazz, but this could be another close game for sure but I am rooting for the Jazz, so my pick is the Utah Jazz,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.72 for the Trail Blazers and 2.18 for the Warriors, Right now Justise Winslow, Ibou Badji, and Jusuf Nurkic can not play for the Blazers, and Keon Johnson and Drew Eubanks are questionable if they can play for the Blazers, while Andre Iguodala and Stephen Curry can not play for the Warriors, and Ryan Rollins is out for the season, this could be another close game for both team, and a Warriors away from the home court could also be a disadvantage for them regarding how Jordan Poole is playing away, but his performance while away still preferable and the Warriors now got Klay Thompson that could splash big dimes so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

It's not that high of a profit so it's okay, the odds that I got were just @1.69 so it's a high chance it will hit. 

9 games tomorrow. Another perfect parlay would make this a yummy treat.
Early bets.
Washington Wizards - Charlotte Hornets - Washington Wizards (-4.5) Beal already practiced but he is still in questionable status. The same goes for Kuzma. 12-12 on home games while Hornets are 8-23 roads. I think KP, Avdija, and Morris could somehow work out to win this one.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Detroit Pistons - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) Cavs is just too strong against the Pistons, this will be an easy win for them. Their twin towers are not that easy to D. Expecting a blowout.

Miami Heat - Indiana Pacers - Miami Heat (-5.5) - Bam Adebayo vs Myles Turner, sounds exciting. Oladipo and Lowry are still out.

Houston Rockets - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) Kings all the way! 

Good luck guys.

Chasing is something that is really hard to control when you feel that you are capable to cope up and recover the losses that you
commit with your previous bets.

Something that learnable in the long run if you are really keen to find better success with your gambling activities, not sure about
how different gamblers take the risk, but it's all on the side of handling their finances.

If luck permits, you will be able to take back what you lose, but if not, expect that you will multiply or worse, you will lose more
with your chase.

I called it a lucky bet, I've been in that situation many times and mostly the result is not good. Now, I'm not chasing much as I don't want my emotion to get over me, you know, they said discipline is very important but sometimes we break that rule. congratulations mate.

Well if you are not really included or you only got a small amount of time in the rotation of the team a player would likely not know the chemistry in playing on the team in actual games, yes he is getting into practice with the whole team, but that actual game experience is much needed by most players if you look at the stats of Cam Thomas his averaging minutes in playing for the Nets are 15.9 Played

January 21, played 6 mins against the Jazz, got only 2 points,
January 23, played 0 min against the Warriors so 0 points,
January 26, played 0 min against the 76ers so 0 points,
January 27, played 2 mins against the Piston 0 points,
January 29, played 13 mins against the Knicks 5 points,
January 31, played 23 mins against the Lakers 21 points,
February 2, played 24 mins against the Celtics 19 points,

And we all know that next was the No more Durant and Irving for the team but he is given zero or fewer mins in playing alongside them, that would likely not going to build up the chemistry he needs with the team, but maybe there is some point in his career he could learn it the hard way,

This is the results for games today and said it was a perfect loss, so I will not give any whatsoever about it most games are close games and not going with the favorite are a big mistake, but for me, it is worth the risk, because of how close the game was,

Orlando Magic VS New York Knicks SCORE 98 - 102 - LOST

New Orleans Pelicans VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 116 - 107 - LOST

Brooklyn Nets VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 112 - 116 - LOST

Los Angeles Lakers VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 130 - 133 - LOST

What? Was it 3.87 before the game started? I can't remember.  Lucky!

New York Knicks somehow covered the spread, Orlando Magic sure gave them a difficult time claiming that win. Randle has to work harder and free throws should be perfect with the foul game at the near end of the 4th quarter.

Hawks lost against the Pelicans. Trae Young registered 16 points and 16 assists but it's not enough to stop the scorching Brandon Ingram. Looks like he finally found his rhythm after the tough start when he recovered from the injury.

Phoenix Suns didn't cover the spread. Ergh, Booker missed two free throws at the end of the game. I guess this time it's Booker who is trying to find his rhythm after the long rest.

Luckily, I chase my losses betting for the Grizzlies and it won. Congratulations to all the winners.

They eat the wolves alive, I thought the Wolves are for real after beating the Nuggets, but the result just simply proved that they are just an average team, not really a team that has the potential of a championship run. Anyway, Jokic had another triple-double night, 20 PTS, 16 ASTS, and 12 rebounds, that's a hell of a stat, no doubt he could really win another MVP award.

This team will really not win because it's a team of Durant and Irving, now that both are not playing with the team, then we cannot expect their win. But the good thing is despite the Nets being the underdog in the last few games,  they still don't fail to cover the spread, so they are giving bettors money easily.

Problem is including getting fouled cam thomas shot almost 40 times tonight.  That's a recipe for a lot of points and a lot of team losses.  There was a reason when Durant or kyrie were there that he averaged 8 or so points.  He doesn't play winning basketball.  He is a dead end shot chucker.  Yeah he fills it up but he doesn't make anyone better.  When Durant comes back and if they trade for another star (if) then Thomas will go back to normal.  He has the ultimate green light right now because the rest of that team sucks.

I was shock aswell in seeing the name and thinking is this really Scotty Pippen's son? that is why I have made a few google and he really is Scotty Pippen's son, and the latest game of the Lakers have played with the Houston Rockets and Jabari Smith's son was there as he was talking with Lebron he have said that he was Jabari Smith's son Jabari Smith Jr. Lebron James surely is getting older, and he is nearing his retirement once he played with his sons in the NBA,

Lebron James is 16 points away in getting the record and he might get it in this game agaisnt the Oklahoma Thunders,


And scarier is when Kevin Durant returned this two will be a problem for most teams, surely Cam Thomas is the ace in the hole and the secret weapon even the Brooklyn Nets doesn't know they have, surely they don't need Kyrie Irving anymore so for me they can approved setting him free, and for the record I don't really know if there are a team that would likely want him for something like this that he is doing,

No one can stop Thomas.
It's his 3rd straight consecutive game where he scored 40+ points.

I considered him as a reserve, but when Irving got traded, he is not the starting shooting guard of the team and he is very impressive in his last 3 games. Though they lost again against the Suns, he is showing some improvements already. He might get the player of the week award.

Good game for the Knicks on the road as they won by 4 points. Congratulations on your win as well.
Randle and Brunson both scored 25 points each. Still, Randle is acting like a shooting guard and just tonight, he attempted 15 shots again. I just don't know why Coach Thib is still letting him do what he wants to do where in fact, that's not his position. I mean it's understandable if it's from inside the paint, but in his 15 attempts, 10 there are from 3-point area and he is only 33.3% career three point shooter which is decent.

Anyway, Thunder and Lakers are on-going now and every time Lebron has the ball, the fans urge him to shoot the ball. I think there is a chance that he might break the record tonight. There are also some veteran players out there like Kareem and James Worthy.

Wow, Cam Thomas again with another 40 plus point game against the Suns. I thought that the handicap is going to be covered though as they lead 8 in the last minute of the game.

Not sure what happen as I didn't watch the game, maybe the Suns allow them easy basket. And with that, my parlay got destroyed again hehehe.

Denver is leading the Wolves with a good lead.

I really will be riding with Phoenix Suns, I don't think there is any team more demotivated than the Brooklyn Nets right now, so this should be a walk in the park the Suns especially since they're now very healthy and with no injury worries.


I don't think I'll be having any other bet, but perhaps, I might go with a LeBron props' should he be available for the OKC showdown.

New York is down agaisnt the Magic early on the second quarter.

And with that I will go with the Knicks +5.5 1.95 odds. Maybe they could make a comeback in the second half. But as of this time, the Magic is controlling the game but they might tired late in the 4th quarter.

My picks for tonight.

Brooklyn Nets vs Phoenix Suns (-7.5) = Phoenix Suns Win 1,81 Odds.

Orlando Magic vs New York Knicks = New York Knicks Win 1,85 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Taking the Thunder tonight.  Lakers will be more concerned with feeding lebron and lebron taking bad shots than playing good basketball.  Until lebron breaks the record I'm going against them.  Thunder ML tonight.

Taking the Knicks on the road.  Knicks at home suck but on the road for whatever reason they play better.

Is there any odds out there with lebron breaking the record tonight?

I'm going for a 3 game parlay here,

Nets vs Suns, Phoenix -5.5, Nets are good with Claxton and Cam Thomas, but I think they will shutdown Cam Thomas here and not allow him to score another 40 point game.

Knicks vs Magic, Gonna be a good game, Knicks solid in road, -1.5 for them.

Denver vs Wolves - Denver ML, for a 3.87 odds.
