I put a few Satoshis down on the Chicago Bulls vs the Sacramento Kings tonight. The spread is -4.5 in the Bulls favor and the over/under is 236.5.  That felt like a little too high of a score for my likings to I laid off that and just bet the spread. Bulls aren’t looking all that great so far. They really need to get things together.

Clippers shows explosive performance in 2nd to 3rd quarter of the game. They are already behind by 6 points but I still trust Cavs that they can beat Clipper on the final quarter of the game since they have the home court advantage and current line-up. But I'm hesitant if they can win with more than 5pts against the current clippers performance. I bet on Cavs as match winner just in the second quarter of the game so I have better odds and hoping they can relly manage to comeback in the last quarter of the game.

My other bet was +10.5 to nuggets against strong Sixers which I really worried right now. 

I'm skipping the Sixers after their horrendous performance yesterday, I can't believe it ended up that close against Orlando and i've noticed that they usually tend to have slow starts.

Cavs -6.5 vs Clippers seems pretty solid now that the lineups are confirmed. Cavs only have Wade missing from their current lineups while the Clippers won't have Jackson and Morris from their starting lineup which is crucial if they want to have a good chance at winning.

I'll just pick one, will go with the Raptors against the Lakers. I would agree that it was an ugly lost against the Suns last night and it's gonna be hard for a struggling team like them to recover because they are in a back to back. Although the Raptors is also in a back to back games, but they are coming from a big win on the road against a good team, - Denver.

I like this bet to for the sixers.  The are ungodly to watch because of how many free throws they shoot now, it's the most boring version of basketball...but when they take 10+ more free throws the advantage is to them in these tight spread games.  Adding that to my pile today, thanks.

Ill take that too, matches are becoming more unpredictable as we are approaching the final rundown of the regular season, It's best to approach these games with great caution.

I'll be going more for player props bets over this week.

Lots of games and most of them are fun. But my eyes are focused on Denver Nuggets vs. Philadelphia 76ers. Top 2 Kia MVP candidates will be facing each other. I'll take 76ers -2.5 and added to win 11+ points.

Minutes restriction for Draymond Green vs the Wizards. I'll take that -10.5 for the Warriors for a welcome bet on his return.
-4.5 for Toronto Raptors against the Lakers. After that bad loss, I doubt they could recover from what is happening within their team. Good luck.

Tonight there's a bunch of games on the docket.  At early look I like 3 of the games.

Gimme -5.5 on the cavs at home
I also like okc +10 at home.  This will be a tough game but on their own home court that's a lot of points.
And last one I like the bulls on the road -3.5

Good luck tonight all.

Yeah, we should move on to the upcoming games.

The games you choose are probably are close games but I have my personal pick of the games you have.

I have Philly, Utah, and Toronto.. 2 home teams but I will bet on the opposite on the LA vs Toronto game as even the LA are the home team but they still continue to struggle, they will still loss again.

Close but not lucky  NYK really played well and hitting their shots. If it's not because of KD's determination Nets might

lose this one at home, luckily KD didn't stop and keep hitting his shots. I was in the impression that the game will go to OT but

instead of missing that last FT and try to win the offensive rebound but that's not the thing NYK also throw the possible last shots.

not for the handicappers, try again tomorrow..

My Picks for Tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game is 1.39 for the Cavaliers while 3.15 for the Clippers, right now Players that can not play for the Cavaliers only Jarrett Allen, While Lauri Markkanen, Caris LeVert, and Rajon Rondo are questionable if they can play, while the Clippers have Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell, Jason Preston, and Paul George, while Robert Covington is questionable if he can play, right now the favorite to win are the Cavaliers, I have seen the players injuries and I think the Cavaliers are fully loaded with their main players even though 3 are still questionable if they can play, I guess I am going with the Favorite and that is Cleveland Cavaliers.

Philadelphia 76ers VS Denver Nuggets

The Stake odds for this game is 1.73 for the 76ers while 2.16 for the Nuggets, a close odds in my opinion, right now Philadelphia 76ers have Danny Green can not play for this game, while Vlatko Cancar, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr., can not play for the Nuggets while Zeke Nnaji and Aaron Gordon are questionable if they can play for this game, Joel Embiid with James Harden is a great tandem actually if they can pull another great performance then they are winning against the Nuggets, so I would go with the 76ers.

Utah Jazz VS Milwaukee Bucks

The stake odds for this game is Utah Jazz 2.02 while 1.84 for the Bucks right now Udoka Azubuike can not play for the Jazz, while Trent Forrest and Rudy Gobert is questionable if they can play with the Jazz, while Pat Connaughton and Lindell Wigginton can not play for the Bucks DeAndre' Bembry is questionable if they can play Utah Jazz has a great performance and is getting up a notch while Pat Connaughton and Lindell Wigginton can not play for the Bucks, trying to look for what may happen because I think this is going to become a close game, but I will  go with the Bucks

Golden State Warriors VS Washington Wizards

Stake Odds 1.11 for Warriors while 7.20 for the Wizards, Lindell Wigginton, Andre Iguodala, and James Wiseman can not play while Draymond Green is questionable if he can play, while Vernon Carey Jr. is questionable if he can play for the Wizards, I think if Draymond Green can play for the Warriors there is a huge chance the Warriors will be unbeatable against the Wizards, so my pick will be the Warriors but staying away from betting.

If only we are just selecting what team would win without any spread, then it is somehow simple but since a spread is there so an outcome is quite unsure, and there's no such thing as trap. We only invented that one

Anyways, these are my bets for tomorrow:
* Nuggets vs Sixers -5.0
* Hornets -7.5 vs Thunder
* Bucks -1.5 vs Jazz

That's why it's called gambling, we bet based on our instinct or our analysis, or whatever basis we have in choosing a team.

Anyways, I think we should move on to the games tomorrow. We have plenty of good games to watch, a playoff team vs a playoff team, I personally like to watch the following games as I'm looking for real entertainment.

1- Denver at Philadelphia
2 -  Milwaukee at Utah
3 -Toronto at L.A. Lakers ( will this be another loss by the Lakers?)

We can only tell that it's a trap to whatever team we are betting or betting against after the game. No one knows the outcome of the game so we cannot assure that a line is a trap, it's just our own analysis but at the end of the game, we still can be wrong or right.

It's a trap for the Nets because bettors thought that they'll win and would easily cover the spread, but the result was different, Nets won but did not cover the spread. I call it a trap because I have that kind of bet before thinking my team would easily cover but they fail and some even lose in the game.

Maybe if it was -10.5, the people would hesitate on taking but in that situation, the favorites would cover most of the time especially a team that could also compete with them.

I even have -5.5 handicap for the Nets, didn't watch the game as it is too early for my Time Zone. And then I was quite surprised to see the that Nets won but by just 3 points. Spoil the day for me.

But no worries, congrats for those who bet on the money line for them.

Lot of good games tomorrow, like the Sixers vs Nuggets and Jazz vs Bucks, very hard to predict those games though.

I don't think it's a trap, it that point spread is double digit, then yeah it could be. But -3.5 is really doable. It's that the break of the game didn't favor for the Nets to win big.

Durant has a big game, but the Knicks keeps the game alive and very close up to the final seconds. There is no garbage time, but we can go back to the next game and win.

Things like that happen, better luck next time, maybe you'll get it right. Nets spread was really tempting, but it turns out a trap for those who took the point spread. Well, maybe next time they'll cover if Irving would play as we can see Durant alone cannot make his team dominate their opponent.

Turns out the ML bet was the right pick. Durant was a beast but unfortunately, Curry did not play so they only have a few options from scoring, and good thing Durant was able to carry the team for a win, that's intense but would still give relief for those who won their bets.

Congrats mate, that is a good win with the amount of money you put on the Nets. Nothing is wrong with betting on the ML with that odds, most important thing is that you know what teams are competing and the chances of the favorite. Hopefully you can continue with your winning streak in the NBA. It's not luck,  sports betting comes with skills.
