The NBA playoffs are getting more exciting as time goes by and after the Celtics defeated the Heat and the Cavaliers defeated the Magic, the Game between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers in the semi-finals is on its way, Pacers and Knicks defeating The Bucks and 76ers and Indiana Pacers VS New York Knicks are facing at the Semi, and Thunders and Mavericks defeated the Pelicans and Clippers getting into the finals with Oklahoma City Thunders VS Dallas Mavericks game is on its way and lastly the Timberwolves and Nuggets winning against the Suns and Lakers and so the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Phoenix Suns going into the semi-finals and tomorrow we will be having 2 games

New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers

Right now Bojan Bogdanovic and Julius Randle are both out of this season Charlie Brown and Duane Washington Jr. can not play in this game Bennedict Mathurin is out for this season and Tyrese Haliburton is questionable if he can play for this game my take I think that the New York Knicks still has a chance but if Tyrese Haliburton can play for the Indiana Pacers they could have a higher chance, and for me, it is pretty much hard to make a bet for this game but I like the way the Indiana Pacers perform and how Tyrese Haliburton is making this team great with his play so I may go with the Indiana Pacers.

Denver Nuggets VS Minnesota Timberwolves

I think it is OK even though they don't have Collin Gillespie and Vlatko Cancar because they are out of this season but if Jamal Murray can not play for the team that is a bigger problem while Anthony Edwards is racking in like it was nothing getting the team into a win on this two teams 1st meeting now that the 2nd game will commence this is hard for me or I could be wrong with this but I think that the Denver Nuggets will provide a win on the next game so my take I think that the Denver Nuggets will win this.

I didn't watch this game but I'm glad they won.

\\  Updated record 11(W)-14(L)..... 44%

So we have two upcoming games, first one is game 1 and the 2nd is game 2 of the Nuggets vs Wolves.

I have the Pacers at +6. I think the Knicks are to overrated because they beat the Sixers, but I think game one is going to be close and I would even bet on the moneyline for Pacers if I have a little extra.

2nd game I have the Nuggets -5.5.

They can't loss this game, so I expect them to start strong and beat the Wolves by double digits. It doesn't matter how they played in game 1, all they need is a good adjustment, win game 2 and take game 3.

Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) Loss!
That's why I am also taking the Over 206.5. - Loss!

Crap. The Nuggets lost and then I need 2 more points for the Over 206.5 to hit. Bad day!

Anyway, in 30 minutes (as of the time of writing) the Cavaliers and the Magic will start the one and only Game 7 in the first round of the playoffs. This will be a tough fight and the Cavs have the home advantage. I hope the young guys of the Magic can somehow manage to neglect the crowd.

I am going for the veterans. Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers (-1.5)

Good luck everyone and have a great day.

This is sure a very physical game, aside from backing the home team which I will tail on your bet, I will also bet on the under 194.5.

Bookies really understand and this game will probably go under as this is the last game of the series. Based on the previous games, 2 of the last 3 games played at the same venue in game 7 went under 194.5, so IMO this is the right call, "UNDER".

game 1 -  180
game 2 -  182
game 3 - 204
game 4 -  201
game 5 - 207
game 6 - 199

game 7?

Yes, just a percentage of my bankroll. The low percentage of winning does not translate a win to me, I'm currently down but I still have left until the playoffs is over.


There are only few games so it's easy to come back at over 50%, but I need to be smarter and luckier at the same time. About my pnl, amount is confidential but you can see the big picture by just looking at the winning percentage.

---

Loss my Nuggets bet, so that would result to decreasing the win rate.

Updated record 10(W)-14(L)..... 42%

So the upcoming game, we only have one which is the game 7 of the Cavaliers and the Magic.

I'm betting the home team, Cavaliers -3.

Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML Loss! The only Game 7 that will happen in Round 1. Well, this will be fun.
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks (-5.5) Win! I like how Kyrie prioritized defense first and then exploded in the 2nd half, that kind of defense is a recipe for a win.

Later, we only have one game. Second round.
Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) This will be a good match. Both can play high-level offense and then some defense. But I still believe the score will be above 200.
That's why I am also taking the Over 206.5.

Good luck everyone, have a nice day.

Nice 2 game sweep.  Orlando looked good last night and Dallas rolled.  Tonight starts the series I've been waiting for glad it came together.  I'm taking Denver-4.5 in the first game.  I think the Timberwolves will take a game or 2 to get used to jokic.  Jamal Murray being the x factor here as well.  Either way I think this goes either 6 or 7 games.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Are you using same amount of bet on all of your bets regardless of the result of bet or you increase your bet whenever the bet lose since this way you can still have a profit despite of your low winning percentage.

Anyway you are already close on having the breakeven if ever you will hit a 3 consecutive bet win. I wonder if the odds that you choose is the same or varies too. What’s your current PnL?

Updated record 10(W)-13(L)..... 43%

Got this one big time, however, the win rate is still not in the passing  percentage. Let's keep grinding until we hit over 50%.

We have the first game of the semi finals tomorrow between the Nuggets and the Wolves, I guess I'm riding with the home team here as game 1 would usually surprise the visiting team.

Nuggets -4.5

∆ P. Banchero 20+ points / P. Banchero 1+ 3pts / F. Wagner 4+ assists @2.07 ∆  X

I expect the Mavericks to send Clippers packing later tonight, leaving the Orlando/Cavs series as our only hope for a Game 7 in the first round of the playoffs...and who doesn't want a Game 7?

Banchero leads the Magic in PTS/FGA/3PA, he's had one off game thus far where he finished with 9 points, but i don't see that happening again, plus he was spectacular in Game 5. He's scored 20+ points in 4/L5, averaging 25 in that span. I don't think the Cavs will change how they guard the PnR of him and Wagner on the perimeter, if Banchero pops out, they'll give him the 3pt all day and almost dare him to shoot. Banchero has 1+ 3pts in 4/L5 in the series, and 38% 3pt ain't that bad either.

Franz Wagner leads the team in assists and potential assists*. I'd like to see him be even more aggressive at attacking the rim where he can find people open once the defense has collapsed, ORL role players usually shoot higher % at home too. 18 assists in /L3, expanded playmaking role, the rest of the team just have to make their shots, simple as.

Well dam loaded up on the wrong bet lol.  The over hit but I won the 2 games so net/net even last night.  Either way it's a win for me the Knicks move on.

Tonight a couple closeout games.  I have bets on both games:

Taking orlando -3.5 they looked great at home and cavs only won by 1 last game.  I will take the home team here and this goes to a game 7!

Also taking the home team in Dallas.  -8.5 was a lot but I think they tighten the screws at home and win by double digits ending the series. 

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-5.5) - Win! The Bucks badly need Giannis to win their games. The Pacers will advance to the 2nd round.
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks ML - Win! That was a fun game to watch, if you missed it, it's worth the replay.

2 games later. Win or go home.
Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML I did trust the Magic back in the season but this is the game time where veterans could dominate and I think Donovan Mitchell will show it.
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks (-5.5) Luka was not feeling good when they won game 5, what more if he is alright?
I am expecting the Mavs duo to do a lot of damage.

Good luck everyone.

Same with you mate. One of the Cavaliers best players Allen is probably not gonna play, so the Magic should win here.
Judging on the last 2 games on the same venue, Magic manage to beat the cavaliers via double digit, they should be able to do it again in a do or die game.



I expected the Bucks will exit the moment Giannis was announced he'll not play, but the Sixers, nah, I thought they have a great chance of winning even if Embiid is not 100%, but they loss at their homecourt, and no game 7, but that's alright, aat least they fought, especially Embiid who played despite of the injury.

I have the Magic at -3.5 at their home court, and they are a good home team, so it's a good chance that they will tie the series.

Will likely just watch the Dallas vs Clippers game.

And I do agree that the Sixers and Bucks early exit are unexpected, but what can they do when Giannis and Dame got injured, and so is Joel Embiid. They have a good season, but the injuries though, oh well tough luck for them this season.

As expected, Bucks can’t stop the elimination even with Dame back with their roster since Middleton can’t perform the same big game that he had during the previous game when they won. Probably he was intimidated on Dame presence since he get less ball time compared when he and Portis are the only scorer.

Sad to see that Bucks and Phila early exit on this playoffs just their Big man can’t perform properly/absent on the game. All the efforts that they put just to be on playoffs just wasted due to bullshit injury.

Updated record 8(W)-13(L)..... 38%

Same result a day before, still 0-3.

Let's break that losing streak.

Magic -4, I'm following the same pattern, both teams are good at their home court, so the Magic should be able to tie the series and cover the spread.

Dallas -8 .  last game they beat the Clippers by 30 points, I'm seeing the same scenario, Dallas will be starting strong as they need to finish the series here.

Thanks, and yeah they made it look easy throughout the game by winning every quarter against the Heat.

It's nice that most of us are on the Pacers to close out the series and cover the spread. There's no way the Pacers will play that sloppy again, and it'll take some insane luck for the Bucks to shoot above 50% for two games in a row.



BOL on the Sixers/Knicks under. I also think it should hit since it's an elimination game, and both teams can't afford to make many mistakes in today's game.

Shoukd have taken Dallas lol.  Well a split isn't so bad.  Tonight I got in 3 bets

Pacers -6.5 I think they wrap it up at home with the hurting bucks.

Knicks +3.5 again it shoudk be a dogfight but I like the Knicks chances.

And double loaded up on the under in the Knicks game.  Under 201.5.  This series has been hard fought every game and this should be no.different.  slow drawn out game with tight defense every play.

Good luck tonight and go knicks!

A new multi-bet for today's NBA playoff action.  While I think there's a good chance the Bucks lose tonight without their stars, I'm giving them the +7.5 to at least make it close.  This bet worries me a little because teams have a tendency to give up and get slaughtered when their season is over, so I wouldn't be shocked if the Bucks lost by 30 tonight.  We'll see...  A similar story for the 76ers, but I think they're going to be able to pull out another victory and take this series to 7.

Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Milwaukee Bucks (7.5)

Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Philadelphia 76ers

Odds
2.87

Boston Celtics - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (15.5) Loss!
Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) Win!

After I lost my bet on the Miami Heat, I thought about chasing my losses in a different way, I was lucky.

I added one more bet for the Mavs and the Over. Thankfully, the garbage time was so good and Jaden Hardy was on fire getting all those 14 points in garbage time and the Clippers bench was answering back.

Great snatch from the Mavs. Luka was on fire while Kyrie was focused on defense. They can now end it in Game 6 at their homecourt.

Later, 2 games. Here are my picks.
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-5.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks ML

Good luck with your bets everyone!
