Did you do it?

Oh, no I didn't. Grizzlies against Lakers with Bron and AD available, I never would have, to be honest.

I've not been into upsets and/or parlays these days, I can hardly find 3/4 games that I'm very comfortable with recently, so I'm just keeping the focus on my daily single bets.

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6

And that makes it 4 in a row!  Smiley

So much injuries in Grizzlies team. I don't think they can win this against the strong Lakers.
Boston vs Houston though might be a good game. I will watch this one rather than watching the Lakers hammering the Grizzlies.  Grin

My bets for tonight.
Houston -1.5 @1.94

Same with Warriors. Too many injured players.
Difficult to risk even against the Suns.  Huh But I am greedy. So let's go Warriors!!  Cheesy @4.90

Look at you! Greediness got you your bet on the Warriors (Congrats!) but, if only you were more greedy you'd have bagged another 5+ Odds from Grizzlies vs Lakers, what a total shambles from Le Bron and co. They won just a single quarter (4th Quarter), that was an epic fail!
What the FAT!!!
Holy Macintosh!  Grin
So I am not that greedy yet.
I did not really expect that. Should've wasted even just a little money for Grizzlies.
There will be no more next time for this. Did you do it?

I am going to train in Mount Greed to be more greedy.  Grin
I may have lose the Houston game but gained more with the Warriors.

You are betting against the Celtics on their home stadium and with a handicap?  That might be a mistake.

In any case, a prediction. I reckon Giannis will not extend his contract if the Bucks do not reach the finals again.
Yeah, I made a .5 mistake.

Welcome back @stadus... the match up that you pick seems both teams have 50/50 chance of winning, I am not sure there's a value on it, as a gambler it could be just choosing which team do you like to win, nothing else, and with that I am not tailing this one.

I get what how you see the match up but I will stick with what I think is right, and I saw some value on the Celtics also, at HOME.
They beat the Clippers, so I will not doubt about their capability on beating any good teams.

Well, if that is what you are seeing, I wish you good luck, thank you for taking time to share your picks but there are games that I am not attractive especially the spread is very small, like I said this is like a 50/50 game as although the Celtics are doing great at home, Rockets has also been so hot lately and they will miss Walker here which is a big contributor.

This could be different because Walker did play against the Clippers, but I don't worry about that, I still trust them without Walker.
I'm thinking they'll do a revenge here with their loss on the road against the same team last Feb 11 this year.

I'm back with my pick again.
I Like Rockets vs Boston, and I would pick Boston here to win @-1.5... I don't know but I think I have become a Rockets hater since they traded Capela. lol.

Welcome back!  Smiley

I have checked the games for today and I'm in for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers, Cleveland cavaliers have indeed improved under Bickerstaff with 3 - 1, If I'm not mistaken and one of those win was against 76ers, However, I'm backing Pacers here on the road as they've also got a great streak going on.

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6

Two win streak both at home, I could back them at home but I have doubt when they are playing on the road as they are not really a good team on the road. However, playing against the Cavaliers, I think they'll have a solid chance of covering the spread if they beat the Cavaliers, yes the Cavaliers won against the Sixers, but Embiid was injured that time if I am not mistaken .

I'll only be watching this match up, I'm eager to see how Tatum would fare tonight! I'm more leaning towards the Rockets here tbh

Yeah!!!
That was some intense game. I was screaming my lungs out there.  Cheesy
Rose was on fire at the last minute while in the end Booker made an error by making a fake shot @ 1.3 seconds.
You don't do fakes when the clock is that low. It should always be a catch and shoot.
Right decision for the officials.

I think I am going to lose the Wizards bet. Ergh!
Edit: I just did.  Cry

My Pick:

Miami Heat -2.5

That makes it 3 in a row!  while we await @Stadus return

Miami Heat's inconsistency played out in 3rd quarter yet again where the lost their 9 points lead before the quarter and trailed by 5 at the end of the quarter, thanks to their 13 - 0 run early in the 4th to swing the game back in their favor.

My luck was rather too good for your bad intention  Tongue

I have to get even with you at some point, so i'm tailing your picks until you lose. Take two.

Oh man! Ironically, on your quest to get even with me, you could end up increasing your holdings by at least 1 BTC, Even if you're betting at the barest minimum, 'cos I don't plan on stopping any time soon.  Tongue

<...>

I will throw 1 merit for each correct pick. If you get both...x2 so good luck.

Looks like a Detroits Piston's tonight is imminent!

Feeling very sad as I miss parlay I was going with this pick and have from my friend Timbervolves over 235 both odds was very good and I was also going to put some money but my network goes down and I fail to place any thing but happy @Harkorede is doing very good job for members here on this forum congrats guys for this win.

Sorry for missing out, these things hsppen, but don't worry you'll get your fair chance again soon and thank you for the kind words  Smiley

So many games I would have love to pick from, but the lines are just too ridiculous in my opinion, It might be worth it to take some of the upsets available tonight.

After analyzing most of the games, I've decide to go with Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks
What could be worse than losing to Timberwolves while playing in your home court, It couldn't have been any worse for Heat, I'm convinced they'd bounce back against Mavs who are likely to be without Luka Doncic.

My Pick:

Miami Heat -2.5

I forgot to share but i also had NOP and MIL to win 1st Q, so far so good.
Raptors are down 11pts at the half against Charlotte (VanFleet and Ibaka are not playing), so a live bet at TOR ml is worth it imo.
Magic are having a hard time with Wolves, a few points lead late in the 3rd.

I am taking a lot of risks now.
Again, it is just my demon whispering in my ears.  Grin

Clippers vs (my pick) Nuggets (3.15) Kind of being a Nuggets fan has something to do with this bet.  Wink

Suns vs (my pick) Pistons (4.50) I don't really know why, just intrigued by how much they have given for Detroit.
Still have 30 minutes guys before this game start.

Edit: Kelly Oubre of the Suns will not play.

Aside from the Heat spread, i also have my 3-legged moneyline parlay on home team favorites.

Magic ML - T'Wolves win over the Heat was absolute stunner, do i expect them to win two in a row? Hell nah! Orlando needs this to keep that precious 8th seed.
Suns ML - Pistons beat them earlier this month but they still had Drummond and Reggie Jackson. They are now in full tank mode, 7 straight losses.
Clippers ML - 2nd seed vs 3rd seed should be a fun game but Clippers with full healthy roster are a scary team to play against.

total odds: 2.07

I am riding on your pick, Heat is outstanding at home and I believe they can take care of the business here.

Just for people's information : Adebayo will not play. https://heatnation.com/team-news/miami-heat-bam-adebayo-listed-probable-mavericks/
while Doncic's is good to go,.. another good challenge by the heat here, just -2.5 at home, that's a great odds.

Seems @Stadus is taking a break today, anyways let's do what we do best on this thread, make picks and get some money.

LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns

Clipplers are with 38-19 for the season, Last game was a blowout win against the Grizzlies, after 3 consecutive losses. I forsee Clippers continuing tonight with the energy they showed in their last game. Also, there is no injury worries or any scheduled rest for Clippers as per Rotoworld and Flashscore.

My Picks

Clippers -6.5

I agree.  I think this lasy quarter of the season kawhi is gonna really start bringing the heat.  These guys know the season is a marathon and this is the part of the season the vets really get going.  I can see a 10+ point win in this game.  Good luck to you

10 points it is.  I'm gonna ride the clips into the playoffs then reassess then.  Ultimately I have denver at 25-1 to win the whole thing.  I honestly think if it lines up right the clips and the nuggets will play for the finals.  Unless they face each other before then


Very accurate prediction, Clippers did well and covered with this win. They have some solid contribution from Morris, and with this kind of distribution of points, I believe Clippers would do good in the playoffs. Was thinking Suns would cover but they are bad against a consistently good team.

Suns are playing decent but the clips are just too much to handle.  I would guess the last 20 games the clippers go 15-5 to finish off the season.  Clippers money line each game will be a good play unless the spread is 9+ points where it wont pay to bet it
