I'm also betting on the same teams (Lakers and Warriors), it's unusual to see the Lakers as a slight underdog, and i'd rather take them to win than bet against them. The Pelicans almost have an even record at home so there's little to no home advantage if you look at it the other way.

Plus, the experience of these two teams is a big factor that could easily decide who gets to qualify since we've seen inexperienced teams crumble in these crucial moments.

I took the Lakers at slightly better odds @1.98x and it was mostly this the better part of the day when I checked the lines closer to tip-off.
Difference is slight but matters when placing bigger sized bet it looks better with that lil bit extra sprinkled on top. Makes that win all that much sweeter too.
The tide did turn as the above user mentioned when Zion Williamson had his 40 points highest on the season and pulled up after the basket asking to be taken out of the game in the last minutes of the game.
He ended up in the locker room and under evaluation last I heard.

Also took the Sacramento Kings over the Golden State Warriors last night and it was a blow out game.
Where Klay didn't have any points and went 0 for 10 while on the court for 32 minutes.

This is especially unheard of by a player such as him in a game with such gravitas to put it lightly.

Taking the live bet pelicans for the win. I know lebron and AD and all that but Pelicans at home and if the Lakers lose they move out from having to deal with Denver until at least the western conference finals. They are gonna push but if pels are up late I can see the Lakers letting this one go. It's gonna be a good game either way but the money is right

Pelicans were able to have a big run, it's just unfortunate that Zion was injured and that give the Lakers a chance to attack and win. It could go either way but Lakers got lucky here. Now, they have to face the Denver Nuggets again which is way better than the Pelicans, I hope this would not be a repeat of the last season playoffs.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers
The winner of this game will get a playoff visa and will play the Denver Nuggets. The loser will have another chance, playing either the Golden State Warriors or the Sacramento Kings. The winner of the last match between the two teams, LA Lakers, has the psychological advantage and will start the game one step ahead. However, I can say that the New Orleans Pelicans will learn from the defeat and with the support of their fans, they will resist to win this game. The New Orleans Pelicans have a good chance to win this game if they maximize their team defense and stop the Lakers stars. CJ McCollum also needs to maximize his scoring contribution. New Orleans Pelicans will show themselves in this game. I think it will be a fast paced game and we could see high scores like in the last three games between the two teams.

I'm going with the Los Angeles Lakers today over the New Orleans Pelicans. I think when it comes down to it, LeBron is still the best player in the world. He just has to use his energy wisely. I think today will be a repeat of their last game and LeBron will dominate. We'll see...

Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) Well, experience-wise, the Warriors might win this again just like what happened last season when they were beaten by the Warriors.

I was tempted to add the Warriors win to this bet because I think have been playing great while the Kings have struggled a bit lately, but the Kings handled them last year and now the Warriors are a year older and the Kings have gotten a year more of experience. Both of those things go against the Warriors. So I decided not to bet on the game. I really think it could go either way and maybe it being a single game instead of a series might favor the Warriors.

I will also go with the Warriors against the Kings, -2.5 @1.84. I do agree that the Warriors are a aging champion, but they could still have one final push with them. Last chance for CP3 to at least to go another playoff in his career.

And for the Pels against the Lakers, that's unpredictable, and the last time I check on one sport bookies, they were even, meaning, bettors are divided as who will win or the game is very hard to foresee.

Warriors -2
Hopefully Curry will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors are more experience so they'll get this win.

I don't think he will miss this opportunity to play, this is a do or die game, a loss would mean the end of their season, Curry don't think like that because he is a champion. So even if it's not yet confirm that he will play, but he is not listed as unavalilable too, so let's be optimistic that he will play.

This is a good match up, last time they meet in a very important game was in the playoffs, there was a game 7 and the Warriors won, but this time, it's just one game and they should give their 100% as there's no tomorrow.

Let's go with the last schedule of games in the season.

Pelicans -4. loss
Both teams need a win for their ranking, it's more important for the Lakers but I could not fade a team that is on a winning streak.

Rockets -3. win
This will be a giveaway by the Clippers their starters might be preparing for the playoffs and will just let their bench players to play.

Warriors -8. loss
This is a must win for them, I think it's a good bounce back game with a double digit win. So Warriors all the way.

Updated record 61(W)-60(L)..... 50% REGULAR SEASON WIN RATE RECORD>
This is the result of my result season betting. Now that it's over, I'm closing this and would start a new record for the playoffs (that includes the play-in).

More exciting games coming ahead as we have arrive to the best part of the season. So I'm hoping you guys will have a profitable betting journey.
As for the first 2 play-in games, here's my prediction.

Lakers -1
They just won and dominated the Pelicans, they should be able to do it again.

Warriors -2
Hopefully Curry will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors are more experience so they'll get this win.

I'm not gonna lie, this bet doesn't have the greatest odds of winning... However, I think it is also extremely more likely to hit than once out of 176 times, so this is another bet against the odds because the odds are wrong.

Sure, it's throwing money away, but if this hits it will be probably my most exciting gambling win ever. Worth the cost of admission to take this ride today.

Last game of the year is always weird. You don't know how coaches are gonna play it. So I will stuck with teams fighting for position still.

1) gimme the Knicks-13.5 against the bulls. Bulls can't move and knicks have a real shot at the 2 hole if the magic beat the Bucks.
2) with that being said same on the Bucks fighting to hold the 2 seed. +6.5 I like theor chances
3) sixers -11.5 against the Nets. Nets are gonna lay it down and not kill their starters. Sixers are fighting to get out of the play in.

Enjoy the last regular season games all!

Warriors -14 loss
They still have a chance to be in the rank 8, so I guess they are gonna take this game seriously. -14 is not hard to cover for a team that are playing their best every game.

Pelicans +1 win
Because I want the Kings to drop at number 9, that's why I'm backing the Pelicans to win.
Pelicans also need this win to stay at number 6.

NYK -2.5 - win

This game is not anymore important for the Celtics, so I wouldn't be surprise if the starters will not play just like what the Clippers did, so I'm counting on the Knicks to win on the road.

∆ J. Brunson 5+ assists / D. DiVincenzo 3+ 3pts / OG Anunoby 1+ stocks @1.75 ∆ X

I can see Brunson sit back and relax, letting others score against the Nets. He did the heavy lifting last night. Brunson has 5+ assists in 9/L10, with 4 on 12 potential assists (vs. Celtics).

DiVincenzo is also 9/L10 on 3+ three-pointers, leading the team in attempts, makes, and 3pt % in that span.

Half of the Nets' roster is ruled out, including D. Schroder. They are second in the league in turnovers per game /L3, it's a great spot for OG Anunoby to grab a steal/block. Since his return in March, he has a perfect 7/7 record on 1+ stocks.

A lot of mismatches today that I felt could go the same way so I added a ton of games to the parlay today. I did take the Bulls as an underdog to the Wizards just because the Wizards continue to disappoint. I'm not sure I like the odds for how many games this is, but it should make the day entertaining.

Boston started the game with their original starters but was still defeated by the Knicks. Yeah, the -2.5 is manageable for the Knicks since they are desperate to secure a position in the Playoffs for a better opponent for them to advance to the second round.

Boston should have rested their playes since they still loss.
I think the biggest lead was as high as 30+ points but ended up a 9 point victory only by the Knicks.
I don't understand, it seemd like Celtics just started playing in the 4th when the time is already running out.

I guess they'll rest now since next game will be vs the Charlotte. they can just play their bench players.

Quote from: Eternad on April 12, 2024, 06:12:49 AM

I feel a bit regretful for not choosing a negative handicap pick but still, a win is a win even though the profit is a little bit lower. I was a bit afraid at the start of the game when the Boston starter announced, but everything worked well in favour of Knick when the game progressed.

That's what you called satisfaction, it's still positive as you see it a win, even though the odds are lower. Just continue as there are a lot of games to bet on, next time you'll get a better odds.

Anyone liking the Bucks tomorrow moneyline vs the OKC? They are +14.5, but upset is possible.

NYK -2.5

This game is not anymore important for the Celtics, so I wouldn't be surprise if the starters will not play just like what the Clippers did, so I'm counting on the Knicks to win on the road.

Boston last 10 games is also not important anymore yet they are still playing starters with 100% effort to win the game. But the bookie is now giving 2.0 odds to Boston which is a clear indication that Boston might really not gonna play full force on their remaining game.

Boston last game yesterday against Bucks is a blast. They might consider resting on tomorrow’s match or they will use their remaining games as preparation for play-offs since they have time to rest during the play-in season. Nevertheless, I will bet on New York Knicks ML and not with handicap just in case Boston will seriously play this match.

They'll only be serious if the starters will play, if you aren't sure then just wait until the game will start and bet live. I guess -2.5 is just so easy, and once the starters will be announce out, that will increase to probably -5.5 or even more, so in my case, I would take it early and be contented on that spread. A win here will ensure the Knicks position to be at the 3 or at least at 4, still would be getting the home court advantage.

I will tail with your Pelicans bet @danherbias07.

The Pelicans is a slight underdog here and it's very attractive @1.91. And yes, they really need this win to keep that 6th place and they are riding on a 2 game winning streak, while the King is going to play coming from a lost to OKC.

These two teams both need to win. If I'm not mistaken, they can still make it to the top 6 and not play in the Play-In Tournament. I'm picking the Pelicans for this match because the Sacramento Kings have been losing lately. Well also the Pelicans are 5-5 in their last games. The Pelicans have the highest chance to clinch the playoffs and will not play in the play-in tournament. This battle for playoffs spot for Western conference is very interesting. Good luck on our picks.

And just like that, the Pelicans won the game with a blow out, although they allow the Kings to make a comeback and put down the lead to 12 points, but Zion will have nothing to do with them making the game close.

So him, CJ and Trey Murphy who has a outstanding shooting night specially in the first quarter and establishing their big lead. Celtics losing to the Knicks with Brunson having a big 39 points to lead NYK.
