Boys get them parlays while you can, i hear that the NBA is in discussion to make some drastic changes very soon due to the COVID-19 threat.
We might see games canceled, games played without fans, games played at neutral places (not yet affected by the virus). Worst case scenario - shutting down the NBA for a period of time.

This is really possible to happen, as there are lots of confirmed cases all over the world and to make sure not risking the fans and the players cancellation of games might happen.
Take each opportunities while there's still no information regarding to this possible interruption from this league. Take your bets and hope for the best.

Guess who just knocked down an ~30x parlay ? Yeah right, that's me! I've been sitting out making picks here as usual simply because I don't find the fixture really good for me to make a clear-cut decision but I've been tailing @stadus picks.

Tonight, I decided to go for a 1st Quarter/Half parlay bet on some of the favorites tonight and boom! I hit it!

And some of them are live? Wow, I really envy you for that.
Congratulations.

Thanks man! I place the bet pre-live, about 3 hours before any game started IIRC. The "live" text shown on some of the bets only indicates what games are still in progress when I took the screenshot, even though the bet has been settled already.

Congratutlations mate, that's very lucky of you, I envied that win seriously, I wish you shared that before the game so we have a time to follow it.

Thanks mate!

I also would loved not to win this and have some users from here win it too, but it just didn't occur to me to share the bet because I didn't make analysis I just selected some of the favorites and excluded Houston Rockets due to their recent performance (I'm very glad I did), and they could have cost me the win, tbh.

Looks like someone is back.
76ers odds of winning got so high that betting for them is non profitable anymore.  Grin
But I see thru the injury report Embiid will still not be playing. Any secret news guys?
That is 7.40ML for Pistons. It could be profitable.  Cheesy

Heat -9.5
Mavericks -1.5
Thunders -2.5
Pelicans without handicap.

I will take the Pistons ML later for a single bet.  Wink

Freaking won it all. Thank goodness.
But that is just 2 games and 1 on side bet for the under score.  Grin
I want more!!!

9 games for later.
Here we go again.

Pacers no handicap.
Grizzlies -3.5
Mavericks -4.5
Blazers -4.5

Side bet for Timberwolves @ 8.20 Just for fun.

I like all your picks, except for Mavericks -4.5, not gonna bet against the spurs at home, I know they are struggling right now but they can beat a good team at home, these two has been rivals so its definitely nice to watch them all but I'll skip the betting part.

Wow! I didn't win any.  Grin Last of my bets is Blazers but I don't care anymore since it was part of the parlay.
You are right though about the Spurs playing at home.
I didn't see thru that. You did great.
One thing I also missed, Aldridge. I thought he was still out and was just shocked that he was already playing.  Grin

I think it was the past 2 games of the Spurs which I always bet against them because Aldridge is injured and I won it all.
Noted.

My pick for tonight's games, just one game only and that's the Rockets/ Twolves game.

Until the Rockets will figure out the mess they are into, I'll continue betting on their opponent.
They might be due for a win but not gonna happen if they are still out rebounded in the game, so I will try my luck to bet the wolves here.

PICK_ Wolves Moneyline $ Wolves +12.5
If they will not find any solution with their current system and all of those attempts outside ain't going to workout for them, then picking their opponent's to win will be the good catch here. Rockets needs to be more aggressive and make some good adjustment not just from rebounding but also with their shooting inside.

Pick : Nuggets -3.5

Congratulations on another easy win, I was able to tail on your pick, you are on a win streak now if I am not mistaken. sorry,.. 3 win streak?

@Reid, turns out you are correct, it was indeed a low scoring game and in fact the score was very low, they only manage to score 193 points and the best thing is that the Raptors have won again, and their win streak continues.

What I understand about Botnake said is that the line of 224 is quite high as an opening line, so most probably people will bet the under as 224 is high and they think they'll hit their bet as they think it's gonna be a low scoring game.
Yeah, it just got so confusing at the end with all the explanation.  Grin

For example, before, the warriors and rockets are both a high scoring game and the line opened up like 210, of course people should be pounding that over as they think it's too easy considering both teams are a high scoring team, however, after the game the result is under,  so the public loses as their perception is wrong and they didn't figure out that the line is a trap.
Good thinking.
But as for my own opinion, it is because of the Jazz defensive strategy.
Snyder might change the way they will play if it is the Raptors they are up against.
An offensive team which needs to be stopped with every possession. Don't know. I might just be a little crazy.
Well, it is almost the half and Raptors is at lead. (50)
Edit: 57 at halftime.

Hawks and Hornets look like an even match at OT now. This is why I never took the risk to bet with any.

Like under 224.5 for Jazz vs Raptors. This might become a defensive game.

This might be not, I am afraid it will be a high scoring game as the line is too high, IMO, if this would be a low scoring game, like should be set up like 215 to 219... I don't know that's just my own analysis, so I would go the opposite of yours.

He said under so if you think the game will have a total score of 215 to 219 then that's under 224.5 and you are with him. Smiley

I think of the other way around which is Over 224.5 as Raptors and Jazz are averaging 110 points this season. Even with a good defense, expect lots of field goal attempts by these teams.

But I will not choose that line. It's worth risking some money for Raptor's Moneyline instead with a 2.9 odds. Not advisable for newbie gamblers out there but even Utah Jazz has a good Home record, Raptors on the other hand also have a good Away record. No major injuries from both teams too (VanFleet is injured but I don't think it will weaken the Raptors overall). Goodluck to us.

personally I have seen this in the past, there are lines that we can call as a trap.

For example, before, the warriors and rockets are both a high scoring game and the line opened up like 210, of course people should be pounding that over as they think it's too easy considering both teams are a high scoring team, however, after the game the result is under,  so the public loses as their perception is wrong and they didn't figure out that the line is a trap.

About this game, it opened up at 224.5, now down to 221.5, so this means either the public is pounding the under or some smart money does.

Therefore, it could possibly go over opposite of what majority is expecting.

The last time I remember you almost hit a parlay with one loss in the leg, I feel you man but just keep trying, believe in yourself, as long as there are NBA games, your journey will never be over.  Grin

Still hoping for a perfect one.
I do have some single bets too. Most of them wins but just enough to equal the loss from the parlay.

Picks.

Raptors no handicap. Fred is the only one injured. 3 streaks winning on road I guess they could also take this one.
No Giannis, yes problem.  Grin Denver -5.5

I'll stay with just two games now.
Want to try total scores too in single bets.

Picks.

Bucks -6.5 Lose
Cavs +5.5 (Thomson is out for Cavs but so does Aldridge of Spurs) More minutes for Nance. Thinking of no handicap.  Smiley Won
Heat -4.5 Won

Pacers(my pick) vs Dallas w/out handicap.  Won

How about OKC vs Celtics. They are giving OKC a good number with a healthy roster. Homecourt advantage though for the Celtics but without Brown. Won

Crap! With all my bets why does it have to be Bucks which will lose.
That was my first pick which I am really sure to win even without Giannis.
Against Suns? Does this really mean they always need Giannis? There is Khris, Bledsoe and Lopez. The hell!

Cannot even perfect 1 whole bet even just once and then the strongest of all in East will be the one to lose.
I am freaking filled with emotions now. Bad ones.  Cry

Rockets had a very bad start now, they are down 12 points now at home.
I got a chance to take them -7.5 live when they are down by 6 or more, so I am hoping that they'll come back here and prove that the system they are using now are not expose or still working, also they are in a losing streak, that needs to be stop now by winning and covering the spread of course.  Grin

They loss anyway by 20 points, what an upset.. Rockets might continue to struggle, so back against them.  Grin



Anyway my pick for the coming games later.

Bucks vs Nuggets.

Bucks are a different team without the Giannis, we've seen it last night so I'll continue backing against them since Giannis is still out of the game and Nuggets are ready to bounce back after a loss against the Warriors at home.

Pick : Nuggets -3.5
