Less than a week to the Regular Season, I really can't wait the at least I can have something really worthwhile during weeks like this in football (International Break).

I'll be making my first bets since the Pre-Season started, It's going to be on the Dallas Mavericks and Pacers, I'm having both teams to win their respective games at halftime for @ 2.28 Odds.

Next opponent for the Lakers are the Golden State Warriors again. 
They will rest today and they will play tomorrow. I would not bet on the Lakers or the Warriors, it's hard to tell if they will play seriously or not, so it doesn't give sense to whatever our analysis would be in this game. Maybe let's wait until the Lakers will start winning then that's the time we will start betting on this team.

Well, that is the fact that simply bettors need to see and I think you are great in seeing this, but this is the preseason, players would surely ignore a win and will not perform well, or teams will surely save a player from getting injured, but I have bet for GSW for this match, just because I am a fan,

And we already know who won the game, 99 - 111 was the score, and GSW win this preseason match, and just like I am saying even though some team is saving players from getting injured in Preseason, so Stephen Curry and Draymond Green sit out the game while LeBron James and other notable players from the Lakers have played the game, although I think Lakers is really not that serious in their team play.

It's a good sign that the Warriors are stronger this season, and lucky for those who take the Warriors to win as they are +7.5 in this game and for sure that Moneyline bet is good enough to enjoy. I hope people will not create a story regarding the struggle of the Lakers, this is just preseason, they can always make a statement that they don't take it seriously.

Tomorrow we have Bucks vs Jazz, this is a good match, what's the majorities pick on this game?

Well, teams would surely say anything that they want regarding what happened in a game if they win or lose it will surely reflect on them, and with their performance, it will surely reflect on the odds as well, it can also be part of their strategy losing on purpose so the opposing team would think that they really won that match, but unknowingly the opposing team really did it on purpose so they will not show their ace in their hands,

But regarding this, some teams may surely just reasoning that it is just preseason and they are not feeling like they really don't taking the game seriously and did that on purpose, well we can never really know.

Lakers! You are making me angry.  Grin I really thought this day will be "it" the winning part but it failed again. Moving on....

Going for a parlay again. Knicks, Nuggets, and Jazz. All three team have low profits so I just bundled them considering a high chance to win. It's only @2.83 and I am hoping this time I will get it right. I cannot use the "its only preseason" card anymore because I am in a bad losing streak already. That Lakers team made my blood boil.
lol. calm down man, preseason games are really unpredictable, just don't put too much bet on the game, I suggest you go with the underdog as they have a good chance in the playoffs than in the regular season. I almost won my x100 odds bet yesterday if only the Wizards won in the 1st half. I had a parlay bet on wiz/raptors + Lakers/GSW (1st half/full time) bet.

How does everyone pick pre season games.  I mean it's a complete game you have no idea who I'd going to play and for how long.  What's the basis of people's decision or do you straight heads or tail it?
Analysis doesn't work much. Any team could win when their stars feels like that's it for the day and rest the remaining minutes.  Grin
I guess this time Lakers would really love to win one game. Lakers -4.5 is my bet.
They will be up against Golden State Warriors again so I'd like to see if they could put a tie breaker even though it's just preseason. It looks better if there is at least one win and it could also resurrect the hype from all the Laker fans. Triple-double for Westbrook. I miss those kind of stats.

Raptors ml + Nets ml @1.99

I have the Raptors and Brooklyn to win today.

Raptors beat Philly in their preseason opener (at home) and played a close game with Boston just a few days ago. Except for Dragic, who will sit this one out, they don't have any missing players. I watched the Rockets play the Heat and i can say i'm not a fan of teams that start/play two big men (Theis and Wood). I'm hoping the Raptors have a lead going into the fourth quarter because benches usually finish preseason games, which can be quite unpredictable.

Tyrese Maxey (left adductor tightness), Tobias Harris (sore knee) and Seth Curry (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason game.

Shake Milton (ankle) and Grant Riller (knee) will also be unavailable for tonight's exhibition, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the start at point guard. There's a decent chance we'll see a good amount of Isaiah Joe tonight.

Sixers with too many absences, i'm not sure who will be their guards today, and the Ben Simmons drama/distraction is on 24/7, so yeah, give me the Nets.

Bad pick for Lakers, they are still winless until now.

LBJ did not play while Westbrook still figuring out how to bring his stats with the Lakers.
Looks like Suns are taking the preseason seriously and they want it to fuel a good start in the regular season.

Too bad for those who bet on the LA Lakers, maybe let's stop backing them.  Smiley

I personally stopped backing Lakers after their terrible performances in the last regular season. Told myself not to touch them even with a 10 foot pole for winner markets. Until I see that they improve  their performance consistently and not just for a couple of games. For now, I'm just on the sidelines for the preseason and not sure I'll place any bets till the regular season starts.
Be ready in the regular season as what they are showing us now is not what we are going to see in the regular season. These are just exhibition games, they would not play hard enough to avoid injuries, trust the development of this team, Lebron making sure what happened last season will not be repeated again as he has stocked a lot of players that would fill if someone gets injured again.

You nailed it! Best to wait for Lakers to start winning before betting with them, and besides, regular season is almost around the corner
much better to preserve our balance,

We don't have any idea if how these two teams will play. Both can be explosive but depends from how the coach will use their stars.
the chance that they will sit and rest to conserve their strength for this upcoming regular season.

If you can't resist, why not choose other alternative aside from ML and handicap, over and under, game half or per quarter scores.

You got a lot of selections to choose if you just want to bet with the game..

Maybe I'll consider a bet on the total, but I would not be too confident in putting a decent amount as they are so unpredictable. A parlay bet is always fun, however, there are only two games in that day, so it would still not gonna result in higher accumulated odds. Anyway, I will just decide once I see the odds already in the betting sites.

Forget about the misunderstanding, it happened. We are here to win, so let's win together.  Smiley

We have 4 games later, and only one game caught my attention.

It's the LA Lakers vs Phoenix Suns.
We are all aware that Lakers are still "0" this preseason, so I think this is the time for them to win and beat the team that made them exit early in the playoffs last season.

Lakers now at +2.5 or 2.17 to win straight up.



Yup! let's just forget about it and have a good time watching preseason games, and yes to win as well, that is a great start in enjoying every game bet on what we think could win, 

I also think the LA lakers is not that serious to play the preseason Lebron James sits this out and Devin Booker as well, and Russell Westbrook got injured but return shortly, maybe the teams won't really show their true strength in the Preseason, but this has just ignited my inner self anticipating the games with the main season, Next opponent for the Lakers are the Golden State Warriors again.

^ Bucks will have their starters available tonight, Giannis, Holiday, and Middleton...they will all play and make their preseason debut.

I actually picked the opposite of what danherbias07 has, i went with Bulls and Bucks combo, not really crazy odds as you can see but i will take it at this point.





That's a winner, congratulations morvillz7z, I'm sure you are thrill watching the game as the Bulls only won by 1 point. I was not able to watch the game but I like to see how close this game is and how the Bulls were able to win this game.

Yeah, damn it. Giannis played and contributed some monster numbers for just 17 minutes of playtime. He is not even scared in the inside like there still some residue of energy from the Finals game.  Grin The other game was a close one but this Bucks vs OKC is way far of a lead to say I almost got it.
Just won one with my over 219.5 for the Bucks. So the lesson, don't bet early wait for the news if the stars will play in a preseason game.

Lakers now at +2.5 or 2.17 to win straight up.
I like the pick, Lakers need a win and I think the last 3 losses will make them play harder and beat the Suns.

It's a rematch in the preseason and per report, CP3 is questionable, so it's an advantage for the Lakers if he will not play. Westbrook already played against the GSW but only manage to score 2 points, I hope this time around he would be able to generate points and lead the team to get their first win in the preseason.
Bro, I avoided that game. Lakers is making me lose again and again in this preseason games.  Cheesy
I have a shot to the moon parlay. Cleveland Cavaliers winning against Chicago Bulls and OKC winning against the Milwaukee Bucks. Just that 2 games gives me a 8.68 total odds and I'd stick with that for now.
I am just trying if betting for the weaker team in the preseason could really work. Maybe this will become a lesson for next year. Good luck to all.

WooWww Shocked That's an awesome parlay if you hit it! Very risky strategy, though. Chicago Bulls is playing tough with the new additions of stars and seeing them jiving together more likely they can easily dominate Cavs, and with OKC against Bucks, also a tough call then putting them together is more on a day of luck for you Roll Eyes

8.68 odds there's a saying "if it's for you, it will be for you" pre-season games is more on an exhibition type of game, very hard to predict. Coaches can easily pullout players and even the team has comfortable leads from the beginning, the last quarter still the deciding period! Good Luck! Wink

In the preseason, you should not make things complicated, go with your guts as games are very unpredictable, it's just like a coin flip and it's true, if it's your lucky day, you will win easily. Bulls are impressive in their last game as they beat the Pelicans by 36 points, maybe they'll lay low this game, who knows.
