Congratulations Dave. I admire your courage in taking that risk. Thumbs up and cheers.

Whoever took the +11.5 for the Houston Rockets early pick is a winner now.
Cheers to you too.
GSW won with just a 2 point lead from Steph Curry's buzzer-beater. That was a fun game. I guess the expectation for GSW was just too high to put them in a handicap of -11.5. They just came from a loss against Pacers and it should've been lower. I tried looking for an opportunity where I could put my bet at a lower spread but there was none in the first half. So I just took over and under and a player prop for Steph.

Warriors have won! The Rockets was just a 3 points shy from defeating the hot Warriors today. The Rockets have been bombarding the Warriors from 1st and 2nd quarter leaving them with a 6 points and 5 points lead respectively, fortunately they've figured out a way to chase the lead and turn the game into their favor. Today, Curry and Poole are the biggest contributor in the team the helped securing the game.
Klay Thompson didn't play and seems he's been resting and preparing against the Jazz in their next game.

Is this a live bet since odds are high?

I didn't watch the game but for that odds to be offered to the Indiana Pacers, meaning the Warriors was able to control the game at some point?

Congratulation mate. It's nice timing and an awesome win.

And so I listen to my guts:



Sorry Warriors fans, I know that they are the favorite in this game, but the way they shoot the ball in the first 2 quarters tells me that something is not right so I outright bet on the Pacers with that huge odds an thankfully my risk and gut feeling did paid off.

Edit: @chaser15 - yes mate it's a live bet, I put it 58-52, Warriors with the lead at the end of 1st half.

Lakers need to win and covering that handicap should not be a problem.

Though we keep seeing disappointing outcome from their previous performances, but still they need to come up and
make some win. Magic is not that much if they will perform well.

I'll be checking this one as I'm looking for the Nets and Boston, lots of games to choose, better to carefully analyzed and
fid the value bet that can bring a better outcome..

The Warriors should win but 11-12 points is a lot against the Rockets even though they have one of the worst records at the moment their form is somewhat decent as they just beat the Jazz in their last game. That said i'm taking the Rockets +11.5 here as the last time the Warriors had a back to back at home they lost and it was against the Spurs.

Also Lakers at -5.5 seems like a steal against the Magic I think they could easily win by double digit or so but then again their results have been disappointing.

Picks for today's game, highlighted in green are my picks, WOW! we had 11 games today but I will only choose what I like,

Orlando Magic VS Los Angeles Lakers

Right now the Orlando Magic comes from 3 consecutive losses and the Los Angeles Lakers Come from 3 losses, then a win and a loss, both of these teams need a win really badly and stake odds are 2.70 for Magic and 1.50 for the Lakers right now R.J. Hampton is on the secondary player of the Magic that has a knee injury and can not win in addition to this Markelle Fultz, Michael Carter-Williams, E'Twaun Moore, and Jonathan Isaac are injured and can not play while the Lakers Lebron James is in question if he could play Anthony Davis and Kendrick Nunn both have knee injuries, and Sekou Doumbouya has covid, right now I like the Los Angeles Lakers as a team and the Orlando Magic is not a well-performing team but right now the Los Angeles Lakers is a mess because there are rumors that their head coach is getting fired, because of certain mess with decisions, and it really is a circus on the side of the Lakers, I like Lakers over Magic, but right now I could pick Magic here but I am staying away from the bet, well it is your choice in getting this pick or go with the stake odds, but I will sit this one out.

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake Odds 1.29 for the 76ers and 3.75 for the Clippers, but right now Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle, and Danny Green has injuries and out from their main team, while Seth Curry is in question if he can play, while the Clippers Paul George, Jason Preston, and Kawhi Leonard has injuries, right now the 76ers are playing their best ball this season and has a great standing in the meantime while the Clippers is hanging on the balance, even though I like the 76ers I am going against the odds here even though Clippers are in the low standings they can deliver an upset and can compete despite having many player injuries, I would go with the Clippers.

San Antonio Spurs VS Brooklyn Nets

The Nets are on the verge of struggling in my opinion because they are short-handed without Kevin Durant, while the Spurs are in full strength, for this game, Stake odds are 1.84 for the Spurs and 2.02 for the Nets, aside from Kevin Durant, Nicolas Claxton, Paul Millsap, and Joe Harris can not play, right now the Brooklyn Nets needs a miracle in winning this, even though I like the Nets I will go with the San Antonio Spurs to upset the Nets at home.

Golden State Warriors VS Houston Rockets

Stake odds 1.16 for the Warriors and 5.60 for the Rockets despite this odds for the Warriors Houston Rockets is coming in almost on their full strength with only John Wall that can not play against the Warriors, right now the Warriors have Andre Iguodala, and Klay Thompson on a rest, Draymond Green and James Wiseman are injured, and Andrew Wiggins is in question if he can play, after that loss from a shorthanded Pacers, and Stephen Curry's good performance I think that is not enough, right now, well I am a number 1 fan of the Warriors, but this one I will be sitting out on the bets, but my picks are the Golden State Winning, but I think the Rockets could surely hang on and could make the game as close as possible, well it is up to you to make a decision because right now there is a small risk possibility for the Rockets winning this, and take that incredible profit from stake odds.

Almost all of LeBron's worst regular-season losses have come around the January-February period, close to the All-Star Break.

Time in and time again, there is talk about players getting traded, front office not doing their job, coach on the hot seat, silly losses vs weak teams, etc.

A shortlist of LeBron's worst losses:

I'm super confident a meltdown game is coming where the Lakers will get trashed pretty hard, i don't have the guts to take Orlando today, but the next three are against @Miami, @Brooklyn, and @Philadelphia. I know they already had a game like this just last week (@Denver lost by 37) but there could be another one coming with decent odds to take advantage of.

I think I like the Warriors here, even though I'm not the biggest fan of wide spreads I think the Warriors got this.

I'll be taking the Lakers -5.5 against Orlando Magic, I know Lakers are pretty awful right now, but it's going to be a real low if they're unable to get a win against a team like Magic.

I also like the Nuggets vs Memphis as well.

Warriors have been struggling lately, I think I'll stay away from them for now. My pick for today is the Heat to win against the Hawks, they'll deal with this struggling Hawks and I think their lineup is strong enough to dominate the home team.

Adding one bet, Nuggets at home is also a good beat, they are only -3.5 against Memphis.

They'll have a chance to bounce back from that very disappointing loss.

Today, they'll play a back to back game and will be up against the Rockets, I think a weaker team like the Rockets will be easy for them to beat, and knowing that the Warriors always come back from a loss, it's so enticing to take the spread although it's as high as -11.

Thank you. I was expecting the Mavericks to use Kristaps Porzingis more in this game because the Suns were lacking with height to compete with him and of course with the same speed. It could've made a big difference in the outcome of the game.

Warriors lose. My bet was a loss. Not many fans expected that from the Pacers with a back-to-back game and absent superstars. I watched the whole game and they were giving the Warriors a difficult time to execute their screen and roll plays.
Anyway, thank you Steph and cheers to all.


 

Indeed, the Suns still managed to win the game even without Deandre Ayton, there's still no news since he suffered an ankle injury recently against the Pistons. Booker and CP3 led the team with a combined score of 48 and both had 5 rebounds and washed the Mavericks in the 4th quarter.


The Warriors on the other hand, suffered and lost unexpectedly against the Pacers with a 4 points score difference. Seems the Warriors recently are out of bounce and their chemistry isn't that well enough anymore since they can be defeated by a weaker team like the Pacers now.

Congratulations, you made the right choice there mate! As for me, I didn't bet on the games today because it was a really hard for me choosing who would win between the Mavericks against the Suns, both teams are on a win streak and fortunately my decision was right because I was about to bet on the Mavericks.
Luka as expected led the team and the man almost had a triple double tho, but Booker and CP3 on the other hand answered every attacks that the Mavericks made and their rotation was quite well that helped them secure the win.

New York Knicks VS New Orleans Pelican SCORE 91 - 102 - LOST


Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 101 - 109 - WIN


Golden State Warriors VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 117 - 121 - LOST


Well, this is the worst time that ever happen in a three-game bet, I was really scared of the Mavericks VS the Suns game because it was really a close game, but despite that the Knicks VS Pelican and the Warriors VS Pacers match end up in a lost,

Well, Pretty much Kemba Walker didn't do much and all the percentage has high enough for the Pelicans, I really never expected this kind of results pretty much the Pelicans have provided good field goals percentage, 3 pointers percentage, I think this is the most advantage that the Pelicans have made,

Mavericks VS Suns game was pretty intense and so close, and Luka Doncic and Devin Booker have made equal points field goals percentage was close 43.5% for the Maverick and 45.3% for the Suns, 3 pointers was also close with 29.7% for the mavericks and 22.2% for the Suns, but the Suns were pretty much had an advantage with the free throws giving them the edge on the score, but Mavericks have plenty of turnovers that surely could disrupt a play 19 Turnovers to Suns 7 Turnovers.

Despite Stephen Curry being back from his Shooting Slump and averaging his better performance in the 3 point goal, the Pacers have a tremendous advantage with their gameplay although the Warriors had won on the Field goal percentage 44.7% to Pacers 43.2% and on the free throw, shots have 82.8% to Pacers 70.6 the 3 pointers have a large portion for the Pacers with 42.9% to Warriors 21.4% and despite this, the problem with the Golden State Warriors right now is their turnovers Warriors have 21 while the Pacers have 14, that have cost the game.

Good call on the Sun -3 here, and you are right, CP3 controls the game and he also scored 20 points will dishing out 11 assists. Big game for him and even though DA is out, still they manage to get a huge win against a hot Dallas team.

Warriors and Pacers very close up to this point.  The spread though right now is 15+/-. I'll probably bet after the 1st half of the game.

possibility?

I kinda like the Knicks tonight too but going with the Suns.  Brandon ingram scares me as the Knicks don't have anyone who can defend him.  He is like giannis when the Knicks face the Bucks.  Long can stretch the court and can drive the paint too.  They need to contain ingram with crafty doubles tonight.

Cavs had a good start but man they missed one too many shots mid way in the second quarter and the Bulls were able to hold on until the end.

Going with the Knicks @1.58 as my next pick, they did well in their last match against the Timberwolves despite the little amount of rest and even though Knicks' record at home isn't pretty (3-2), the Pelicans is in a much worse position on the road losing their last five games.

I also like the Suns pick as the Mavericks are on a back to back but it's tough to go against them when they're like 8-2 in their last ten home games.

My Picks for games today highlighted in gree are my pick,

New York Knicks VS New Orleans Pelican

Right now Stake Odds, are 1.57 for the Knicks while 2.48 for the Pelicans It seems that the Knicks is the favorite to win and they are playing at a home advantage, Nerlens Noel has a knee injury, Ryan Arcidiacono, Cam Reddish, and Derrick Rose both has ankle injuries, and Luka Samanic is in question if available today, While the Pelicans Devonte' Graham is in question if available to play Zion Williamson has foot injuries, I really think the Knicks have an advantage of winning despite they are playing at home court, Kemba Walker's solid shooting is returning, Julius Randle is playing much good and nearly get a triple-double last game despite the loss last game against the Timberwolves, while Pelican's Brandon Ingram is shooting poorly that is why I really think that the New York Knicks will win this,

Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns

Stake Odds are 2.22 for the Mavericks and 1.70 for the Suns Despite a high odds for the Suns I really think this is a hard game for the Suns and will be a close game their last game on November 18 and 20 the Suns won their 2 games this is because Luka Doncic was not in that games but this is pretty much a different game when Luka Doncic is around, Sterling Brown is the only one not available to play, while Deandre Ayton has an ankle injury so defense is very crucial and JaVale McGee is entering on the starting five, Dario Saric and Frank Kaminsky both have knee injuries, this will be a close game and I feel very neutral for these two teams but for me, I will go with the Phoenix Suns Chris Paul is playing well and have a double-double performance while Devin Booker has a crazy 48 pts on their last game, but it is up to you to choose Luka Doncic will be a great problem without Deandre Ayton.

Golden State Warriors VS Indiana Pacers

Stake Odds are 1.09 for the Warriors while 8.20 for the Pacers, pretty much the Warriors is a highly favored to win and in my opinion, not a great game to make bets especially it is not profitable and high risk in betting for the Pacers, right now despite Draymond Green can not play which I though will return this January and Otto Porter Jr. is on rest, I really think that Stephen Curry's Phenomenal shooting had returned, while Klay Thompson had led the game with 21 points last game while Jonathan Kuminga has proven his worth in playing double-double in rebound and scoring last game, While the Indiana Pacers Malcolm Brogdon and Caris LeVert is questionable if they can play, Domantas Sabonis has an ankle injury while T.J. McConnell, Myles Turner, and T.J. Warren can not play because of injuries, so my pick will be the Golden State Warriors but I will not bet for this match.

On the fence with the Warriors.  I feel like these higher spreads get challend right at the end of the game since the favorite let's up.  Gonna stick with one game tonight.  I'm taking the Suns -3 on the road but playing a Dallas team on the second game of a vacation to back.  I like cp3 controlling this game and guiding them to a win.
