No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
April 29, 2024, 04:41:08 AM
It looks like i'm the only one hoping for the Timberwolves to sweep since I have them to win (@1.96). I'm not confident about the Suns having the same urgency as the Lakers to win a game, and I think the odds on the Timberwolves are still too good given they haven't kept the margins close. It'd be nice if the Suns could prove me wrong by extending the series to a game five, but i'll always take the Timberwolves knowing the Suns rarely clutch it up whenever they're the favorites.



Congrats with your bet, as Wolves completed the sweep ANT provides them 40points showing his idol that he's now a grown up man who can deliver important basket, that slam dunk which give them extra edge really the highlghts of the game, managing to escape the defense of Beal and dunk it in front of KD that's really something that will hype his name up.

Moving now to the second round and will face another tough challenge, let see if how they will proceed on thier campaign to win a title.
Wolves was really the play as most bettors are still believing the Suns that could win in game 4. They think that they'll have the same faith with the Lakers, but Durant is not Lebron, so he'll have to be swept. ANT really came up big in the 4th quarter, he has become a very clutch player, not afraid to take a shot when the game is close and Suns have no answer from his aggressiveness.

So moving on, they'll  likely face the Nuggets, I think I'd bet on the defending champ in that game.  Although I think that Wolves had a decent chance of limiting Jokic because they have 2 bigs but they Nuggets are a champion for a reason.


On the other games, Lakers escaped repeating their last time result, extending the series to game 5 and hope that they will continue to extend agaisnt the defending champ, while both Indiana and NYC needed one more win to move forward to their next rounds.

The first round is not so fun, exept for the Sun-magic  and Clippers-dallas series.

Taking the home Pacers-10.5 with no Dame and no giannis.  I think they will be rudderless and with haliburton he will control the tempo.
I'm on the same side. Middleton alone could not carry the Bucks to win on the road, yeah he had a great game 3 but that was it as I believe the defense will be adjusted to him and now that he is the only legit scorer of the team, it will be easy for the Pacers to limit the Bucks. I'm seeing a blowout win by the Pacers here and will finish the series at Bucks homecourt.

Suns -1.5 just like the Lakers think back against the wall they squeeze one out, they have to right? 

Also taking over 213.5.  I think it will be a frenetic pace, and at the end if it's close lots of foul shots.  Can see a 115-110 type of game.

I hope the Suns has not given up the series yet. Durant has to lead this team as he is the most experience in the roster. If they can win maybe at least in the first half as they will probably start strong due to the possible adjustments in this game after their last game's defeat.

Haven't had that good a run so far so looking for a breakout day here.  Bet all 3 remaining games I didn't touch that cavs game.  Can't figure them out.

Pelicans +1.5, shoukd be a close game tie goes to the home team.  Okc is young amd this might be a tough one

Heat +10.5, they showed last game they are here to play.  Being underdogs by double digits as the home team doesn't sit well with me.  Gimme the heat.

Heat/Celtics over 204.5. I know the unders have hit hard but I think the Celtics score enough to push the heat to push the pace.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Dam another 0-3 night I'm getting torched these playoffs lol.  So why not 3 more bets lol.

Taking the home Pacers-10.5 with no Dame and no giannis.  I think they will be rudderless and with haliburton he will control the tempo.

Suns -1.5 just like the Lakers think back against the wall they squeeze one out, they have to right?

I lost my parlay because of the Suns, had won the Bucks +6 but the Suns choose to go Lakers mode, and they even look worse than the Lakers as they looked like a mismatch team to the Wolves. Suns does not have a bench production, I hate to say it but that's the reality.

I was thinking they'll bounce back and have the first win at home but now they are 0-3, and with that, I think I don't have any confidence on this team so I'm not gonna be betting on them in game 4.

There's nothing that they can do against the big man of Wolves, they are really having a hard time and with how ANT is playing that kid is really especial, after Butler I guess ANT is something similar to DWade, he got that big nerve which is not afraid attacking and taking shots, I guess he should continue doing that same stuff with the teo-towers who are also playing at their best.

Suns might suffer the same fate like Lakers, there's no answer against how the opponents are dominating them, tough series but maybe they might win at home, still possible I guess.
The Suns doesn't have a legit point guard, so that alone is already a huge problem. Acquiring Bradley Beal seemed to be  bad idea as he was inconsistent in the regular season and in the playoffs is impact is not the same anymore when he was still with the Wizards. things are really tough for them now mentally, as Durant is known to be a very dominant player, have won multiple champs but was only bullied by the Timberwolves this playoffs.

I think it's time for Curry and Durant to reunite, and make the Warriors a great team again.

If possible that they reunite if Warriors managements are willing to put that huge amount to offer KD the max maybe they can bring back their old glory, though Warriors managements still have that issue with Klays extensions, not sure if they will acquire him back and give him what he deserves being one of the core of this team and manage to help in bringing those titles.

Moving back to their winning chance on this upcoming game, by pride I think KD and Booker will try everything to win a game against the Wolves.

I think the LA Clippers will bounce back for tonight's game. If they lose tonight for sure they will not make the Western Conference semifinals. If it's 3-1, it will be very hard for the LA Clippers to come back.

For me, I think the New York Knicks are going to make it 3-1 and end the series in Game 5 on their home court.

Under 54.5 for Pacers vs Bucks because Dame and Giannis is out for game 4. So I think it gonna be low scoring 2nd quarter.

Wolves might gonna end this series tonight and I think gonna be good scoring for the 1st quarter thats why I go over 53.5 for 1st quarter.

Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic (-1.5) Won!
New Orleans Pelicans - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) Won!
Miami Heat - Boston Celtics - Miami Heat (10.5) Loss!
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers ML Won!

3/4. Good.
I was right in trusting the Lakers although I am a big fan of the Nikola Jokic. Well, gambling first before him. Money first. Cheesy
But, if we watched the game thoroughly, it seems like Jokic is not in the mood to attack. Not the same way he played in Game 3 where he is obviously trying to win. Perhaps, in his mind, he wants to end it in their home.

Later, we have 4 game and one of them is starting in 15 minutes as of the time of writing.
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5)
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5)
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-10.5) I don't like the -10 but I will give it a try. I trust the Pacers could somehow cover it.
Phoenix Suns - Minnesota Timberwolves - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) Risky. But I believe in adjustments.

Good luck!

T. Maxey 25+ points / J. Brunson 25+ points @2.00  X

I had the exact same bet for Game 3, rolling with it again i guess.

Maxey is 3/3 on the series, both FG and 3PT% look solid, usage rate is high, and i don't see anyone on the Knicks roster who can keep up with him, he's such a blur.

Brunson struggled with his shooting in Games 1 and 2, but played much better in Game 3, dropping 39 points. He has nearly twice as many shot attempts as the next guy on the team (27FGA), which alone should be enough for at least 25.

Lakers +4  - win
For the last time, I'm betting on the Lakers to at least cover the handicap in game 4. Adding a small bet for them to win the game, people are talking that the Lakers will be blown out, but for me this is the last chance to bet on them as the Lakers might have a major adjustments on their roster next season.

Miami +10.5 - loss
Bookies still have their trust on the Celtics but I think the Miami Heat will play better at home. Doing the same with the Lakers, adding a small bet for them to win.


Updated record 8(W)-7(L)..... 53%

1-1 on the 2 picks I shared. let's proceed with the upcoming games.

Sixers -5.
Embiid's performance is game 3 was legit. I don't think he'll slow down in game 4, so I'm expecting them to cover the spread and tie the series. I'm thinking of a possible double digit win by the Sixers, this should not be hard to cap. I'm seeing the same scenario on the Cavs vs Magic series.

Suns +1.5
Just like the Lakers, maybe they'll win one game before getting eliminated. I know they have struggled a lot in the past 3 games but this is the only chance for them not to get swept, so I'm betting on them.

Dallas -6
I'm hoping Dallas will stay consistent with what they are doing, have already won 2 straight and it seems like Leonard is not gonna play as he is currently listed as doubtful, they should be able to handle the Clippers especially that their interior offense is already working.

1-Magic +5.5 Loss
Last time they loss by blowout, they should make the right adjustment in game 2. better ball movement to find an open man so they can improve their FG percentage.

2- Lakers +7 win
They almost made it in game 1 but collapse in the 2nd half, that cannot happen again. If they lose, at least a chance to cover is high.

3-Sixers +6 win
I believe they are the better team, Embiid has to play like an MVP, dominate the paint like he usually does.

Updated record 7(W)-6(L)..... 54%

Lakers +4
For the last time, I'm betting on the Lakers to at least cover the handicap in game 4. Adding a small bet for them to win the game, people are talking that the Lakers will be blown out, but for me this is the last chance to bet on them as the Lakers might have a major adjustments on their roster next season.

Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) Loss! 3-point win for the Pacers so the spread was not covered. Ouch!
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5) Win!
Phoenix Suns - Minnesota Timberwolves - Phoenix Suns (-3.5) Loss! Prediction went wrong. The Suns are having a hard time with their offense. It cannot be Durant as always, it will be too predictable.

We have 4 games. 1 of them is already starting.
Here are my picks. (Made the 1st  pick before the game started.)
Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic (-1.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) Yeah, it could go 3-0 just like other series. Without Zion is a big problem for the Pelicans.
Miami Heat - Boston Celtics - Miami Heat (10.5) I am going to take that + again. The Heat is not something to be underestimated.
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers ML @2.39 Risky, but it can be profitable. I can see the Lakers will try to avoid a sweep.

Good luck everyone.

Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks ML Loss!
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML Win!

2/3 no problem.

One game will start early today. 5:30 AM in my timeline. GMT +8.
3 games total. Here are my picks.
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) The Pacers stole one game on Bucks home, I think they will do better in their own home.
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5) I don't want to put too much spread. The Clippers can sometimes come back even on a huge deficit.
Phoenix Suns - Minnesota Timberwolves - Phoenix Suns (-3.5) This time I am against a 3-0. I think KD will unleash the beast mode to avoid that no-recovery series. He won't like to be in that position and he will probably do everything here.

Good luck everyone! Have a nice day.

I almost won this combo. If only the New Orleans Pelicans had won, I would have won this combo too. I thought the Pelicans would win that match because Game 1 was a close match and they almost won Game 1, especially if CJ McCollum had made that last shot. I also managed to predict 1st half/full time for Celtics vs Heat but another leg ruin it. Of course its Pelicans again. 😤

Damn mate, that was some tough pill to swallow especially when the Heat with the most odds had won and cover the Over, almost 3x the odds of that of the Pelicans.. Better luck next time.



I'm still very undecided about any bets for today, I like the Denver vs Lakers match up but I think there will be some tweaks to the roster, I don't know exactly what to expect but if there are not much changes, I likely would go towards Jamal Murray assists or PRA over, the current line for Jokic and Anthony Davis which have been my go to pick in the first 2 games is now ridiculously high from my perspective, Both of them are @ 13.5 Rebs each @ less than 2 Odds, so I'm going to pretty much pass on that one. Perhaps, I could take a risk with a role player, Reggie Jackson, Reaves, Gabe and Dinwindie are those I have in mind, I'll make a decision very close to the tip off.

I lost yesterday's bet, but i'm glad that Stake had one of those unusual promos where they'll overturn your losing bet if your team hits two threes.
Nice!

Boston Celtics - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (12.5) Won! I was right, they are too underrated just like last year, their bench is not to mess with. Miami Heat is a strong team with a deep bench.
Oklahoma City Thunder - New Orleans Pelicans - Oklahoma City Thunder (-5.5) Won! Just what I expected, they learned from Game 1 and now dominated the game.

Later, 3 games.
Here are my picks.
Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic (-1.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks ML @2.75 - Knicks are playing like a crazy game and I believe they can end this quick while Embiid is hurting.
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML @1.96 - Yes, 3-0 it is.

Good luck everyone! Have a great day.
