you will miss the chance. while you are already risking, you just have to give it all. hope for the best. i was about to try out 2 of your bets and then 2 more on football and 2 more on cricket games to parlay them all. just taking all that is suggested in the threads.  because 2 is just not very fun.



parlays are where you bet an amount you can afford to lose but are also worth 5x the when you hit.

The odds weren’t great but it was more than a double. I believe that makes 2 or 3 parlay wins in a row for me now. Arguably I just go for the mismatches because it’s fun to win. Tonight I’ll be going with the Bucks to beat the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves to beat the Trail Blazers. Odds on those games aren’t great either.

Darn it! I put good money for the Warriors and they lost in the last quarter of the game. Grr.
Here are my results for the day.

Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) - Loss! My mistake. Their bench is still energetic despite the back-to-back game.
Charlotte Hornets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-4.5) - Loss! The Hawks are just too inconsistent right now. Hornets on their 4th game winning streak.
Orlando Magic - New York Knicks - Orlando Magic (-1.5) - Win! Just as I thought, they cannot handle the healthy Magic.
Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Win! 2-point game. Yey. Luckily I didn't go greedy.
Boston Celtics - Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics (-11.5) - Win! Oh yeah, this was pretty obvious.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! The Cavs still managed to win the game despite being behind the whole game. Did not cover the spreads though.
New Orleans Pelicans - Washington Wizards - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover either. Oh, and Zion played with a monster 36 points.
Memphis Grizzlies - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (-1.5) - Loss!

And more losses from the Nuggets and the Warriors. A very bad day for me. My parlays are also broken early by the Hawks. Damn!
It will be difficult to win it all back as the All-Star break is near unless I increase my bet amount in the last 3 games.

Later, 3 games only.
Here are my picks.

Utah Jazz - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) They may be exhausted but their bench is a strong one. And they will have a long break so might as well win this before they go rest and enjoy the All-Star.
Memphis Grizzlies - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - The Grizzlies are exhausted, maybe it's time the Bucks win again. Being beaten by the Miami bench is frustrating, this will build their confidence up.
Portland Trail Blazers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - The Wolves trying to preserve the top spot in the West. They will win this. With how much is the question?

Good luck everyone, have a nice day.

You got a win on that parlay. What was the total odds of that 4 legged parlay if you don't mind me asking? Everything was easy except for the NO Pelicans bet since Wizards are staying in the game and the Pelicans could not dominate them as they only win by 7 points, didn't even cover the point spread.

I guess I would love to tail with your pick, do you have a new one for tomorrow?

I like the odds on a 4-game parlay today.

Bostons Celtics to beat the Brooklyn Nets
New Orleans Pelicans to beat the Washington Wizards
Dallas Mavericks to beat the San Antonio Spurs
Phoenix Suns to beat the Detroit Pistons

All of those games should be easy wins. It would take a pretty big upset to lose this parlay, but nothing is set in stone.

1. Knicks +3: The status of DiVincenzo is unknown, but the Knicks continue to play without Randle. This is the ideal opportunity for them to get back into the winning segment. Magic stays as the team to beat with a 68% success rate in its home base. But Magic lost yesterday and will play again today while the Knicks squad is refreshed.

2. Heat +3.5: With a 123-97 end score, the Heat easily burned the Bucks in Milwaukee on Tuesday. Heat will do it again on the much lesser 76ers.

3. Indiana -4: The two teams lost their last matches. But the Raptors are not going anywhere this season. The Pacers lost to the Hornets however the squad will not allow another one from the bottom of the rating.

Ever since I was recording my bets, I am 1 and 2 but I am putting in more effort to win.

Updated record 15-11 (58%) ---^{got 0-2 since the Suns pick ended as push. Big drop on the winning percentage as well, so let's bounce back.}

Pick 1 Cavaliers -9.5
They loss to Sixers on their first game back at home, now it's time for them to start winning. The spread is high but they have been covering the high spread when they are winning.

Pick 2 Indiana -4
Loss to charlotte, I'm expecting them to beat the Raptors on the road.

Pick 3 Denver -5
Also coming from 2 losses on the road, one from the team that they'll be hosting the Sacramento Kings. Nuggets are fresh here while Kings are on a back to back game. Murray is listed as doubtful, I think if he will not play they'll be fine as there are lots that would step up on a must win game.

Pick 4 Warriors -3
Warriors has been hot and are on a winning streak. Clippers though needs to bounce back but since they are without Kawhi Leonard. I like to continue following the Warriors hoping their win streak will continue, they are on 5 win streak now.

I am back. That was profitable for me.

Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover. Nets had a good run and tried to have a close game but then Jaylen Brown went nuts and scored most of the 4th quarter. Tatum on the other hand had 31 points in the first half. Awesome!
Orlando Magic - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-1.5) Win! OKC is strong.
Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - Loss! Damn Bucks. That was not entertaining at all and they are beaten by an undermanned team although the Heat bench don't want to hear that.
Portland Trail Blazers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - Win! Antman going crazy!
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-3.5) - Win! Just enough to cover the spread.
Los Angeles Lakers - Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - Win! Lakers overpowering the Pistons.


I doubled my bet for the Lakers and the Timberwolves. Then I added the Over 210.5 and I put more money here because I was so sure it would hit .
Yeah, that felt good. I recovered that perfect loss yesterday.

Later, 13 games. Wow!
We have to be careful with the exhausted teams. I suffered from this many times.

Here are my picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) - Miami Heat may have shown how strong their bench is today but that was an exhausting fight against the Bucks. The 76ers might have a chance to win this one even without Embiid and Harris. A well-rested bench against exhausted ones.
Charlotte Hornets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-4.5) - The inconsistency of the Hawks is indeed frustrating but this is the Hornets, it should be easy.
Orlando Magic - New York Knicks - Orlando Magic (-1.5) - DiVincenzo and Hartensten are both questionable to play for the Knicks.
Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5)
Boston Celtics - Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics (-11.5) - Them again but now on a different basketball floor. It's Celtics home this time.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Washington Wizards - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Zion questionable again. Argh.
Memphis Grizzlies - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (-1.5) - Van Vleet and Eason won't be playing and Bullock is questionable, so that's why it's just -1.5.

Going for live bets or before the game picks on the games left.
Good luck everyone and have a great day.

Has bets the other night for Cleveland to keep their winning streak alive but that ended at 9 with the 76ers loss.
Also had a betbuilder with San Antonio to beat the Toronto which they did and Wembly getting a tripe double.
That went bust as the Raptors didn't get enough points so it the over didn't hit.

Heard yesterday during the recap of those games the night before that Spencer Dinwiddie was going to the Lakers:
https://sports.yahoo.com/spencer-dinwiddie-finishes-first-practice-with-lakers-explains-decision-to-sign-011436647.html

Why such an old player from the Nets(who the Raptors waived on the trade) with Los Angeles coming back from begin 25-25 on the resurgence right before the All-Star break?
Heard this from the very same sports outlet covering the story with this trade and nearly fell out of my seat:
"If Dinwiddie's decision to sign with the Lakers pays off with a championship ring, he will be entitled to a $1 bonus.
That is correct. One whole dollar."
https://sports.yahoo.com/spencer-dinwiddies-new-lakers-contract-includes-massive-1-bonus-for-nba-title-win-162323467.html

It surely wasn't a disappointment both teams did their best and maintained close points with each other even though De'Aaron Fox got 40 points and Domantas Sabonis got another triple-double in this game the Sun's main players still got it in a close match, sure the Sacramento Kings needs to rotate their bench there might be a star player awaiting to shine than giving all the time to both Fox and Sabonis.


The 2nd half was the crucial moment for the Phoenix Suns and this is the part where they took the lead from the Sacramento Kings for sure De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis were the 2 players for the Kings that are highly active in making the score and all, but the Phoenix Suns have a mixed of players that can accompany one another if something bad happens like if Devin Booker got a slump on the 1st half then Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen did take over for the team I think this is something not unique with the Kings as if Sabonis or Fox could not play then they are in big trouble.

---

Here are the results of my picks I should have gone with the Multibet I was really lucky this time.

Brooklyn Nets VS Boston Celtics - WIN


Orlando Magic VS Oklahoma City Thunder - WIN


Phoenix Suns VS Sacramento Kings - WIN

11 points was the maximum lead the Kings had. The home team did came back though and won by 5 points only. Sacramento has their own run as well, but Booker and Durant did took over, especially Booker who started with poor shooting but finish by helping the team to get the W.

The turning piont here was the miss FT of Brooker that wasn't rebounded by Sacramento, if they were able to get that ball, they have a chance to tie with a 3 point shot since it was only a 3 point lead by the Suns.

The Suns and Kings didn’t disappoint.

I just bet the winners of the games and not the spread. Looks like they all hit tonight, which is good because I also doubled up betting them all individually. The odds were admittedly not great, but a 3 game parlay hitting is always a good time.

Celtics already won the game, I'm not sure if you bet on the point spread as they didn't cover the spread. About the Lakers, they are ahead now, might cover the spread but the Timbelwolves, it's quite close now as Portland were able to come back in the 2nd quarter.

So far the Sacramento Kings are controlling the game with 11 points lead now, but just like their last meeting, no lead is safe since Suns were able to comeback that time even when they are down by a huge margin.

I was too busy the last couple of months but right now I am returning to make my picks on the NBA and here is today's pick for the NBA games.

Brooklyn Nets VS Boston Celtics

The game will commence at Barclays Center the home of the Brooklyn Nets, now the odds are 3.95 for the Nets and 1.27 for the Celtics, now Thaddeus Young and Cameron Johnson can not play for the Nets, and Dariq Whitehead are out for this season, while Xavier Tillman, Jaden Springer, both can not play for the Brooklyn nets, and Kristaps Porzingis is questionable if he can play in this game because the Boston Celtics has a great winning and currently doing well right now It is hard to bet for the Brooklyn Nets right now so my pick is the Boston Celtics.

Orlando Magic VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The game will commence at Kia Center home for the Orlando Magic, the odds are 2.26 for the Magic and 1.68 for the Thunders, right now the Orlando Magic doesn't have any injuries, while Bismack Biyombo and Gordon Hayward have an injury right now and can not play for this game  

Phoenix Suns VS Sacramento Kings

The game will commence at the Footprint Center odds are 1.55 for the Suns and 2.52 for the Kings, right now Damion Lee can not play for the Suns, while Sasha Vezenkov can not play for the Sacramento Kings, Jordan Fordis questionable if he can play and Trey Lyles has unknown illness so he can not play, right now the Phoenix Suns might win this as they badly needed the win so my pick is the Phoenix Suns.

Yeah, just a hunch that the Kings might come back in this game and make it closer. And that's what really happens, they bring the lead down to single digits but it was not enough too, but good for gamblers who bet on them with that +18.5 or even lower.

How about the game last night?

Very difficult to predict as most of the underdogs have won the game. Houston playing tough against the Knicks and bet them. Dillon Brooks had a good game and then giving Brunson that shove, Lol, typical of Brooks. I'll go with Celtics vs Nets - Celtics -7.5 @1.79 and Wolves vs Portland - Wolves -7.5 @1.81. Best of luck.

I like the Celtics to beat the Nets, Timberwolves to beat the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers to beat the Pistons tonight. The game I’m really excited to watch though, but won’t be betting on, is the Sacramento Kings vs the Phoenix Suns. Both teams are playing great so that will no doubt be a good matchup.

That was a bad night. I was surprised with the results of the games today.

Charlotte Hornets - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-10.5) - Loss! Shocking! The Hornets won!
Cleveland Cavaliers - Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! Another shock! The 76ers won without Embiid and Harris.
Toronto Raptors - San Antonio Spurs - Toronto Raptors (-3.5) - Loss! What the heck!
Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks (-3.5) - Loss! The Bulls won by 10 points.
Milwaukee Bucks - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - Loss! Blowout game!
Houston Rockets - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Loss! Wow!
Memphis Grizzlies - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover.

Wow! Perfect loss.  Yeah, that's me going crazy, laughing while crying. I cannot even tell what emotion I should pick. That might be the first time for me this season with that many bets. And I bet many gamblers lost their money at that time.

Later 6 games.
Here are my picks.
Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Kristaps Porzingis is questionable to play. Cameron Johnson is out for the Nets.
Orlando Magic - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-1.5) - Hayward won't be playing yet for the Thunders.
Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - No Butler, no Rozier, and Duncan Robinson is questionable. The Bucks will have Dame and Giannis.
Portland Trail Blazers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - After that big win against the Nuggets and getting a good rest in the 4th quarter, the Wolves might still be energized to play while their confidence is high.
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-3.5) - Number 6 against the number 7. This will be a good match to watch.
Los Angeles Lakers - Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) Trusting DLo to do the offense for the Lakers one more time.

Good luck everyone, have a nice day.

Updated record 15-9 (63%) ---^{It's a profitable day, we are (2-1)}


Let's continue.

Pick 1 : Magic +3.5
They won their last 2 games, the last game vs the Bulls went to OT but they still manage to win and cover. Later, they are hosting the OKC which beat them on their last meeting on the road, I think they are up for a revenge and will take the win. Magic remained to have a good home record with 17-7, I'm backing based on the stats.

Pick 2 : Suns -5
Sacramento hasn't been good on the road, while the Suns came from a loss vs the hot Warriors, I feel they're gonna bounce back strong at home.

Pick 3 : Bucks -8
Although Bucks are on a back to back game after a blowout win vs Denver Nuggets. I feel their confidence now is back after beating the defending champion. Miami is still playing without Butler, I see another double digit win by the home team here.

Congrats on the Bulls and Rockets pick mate..
That Rockets game almost went to OT. Refs called a foul on the last attempt, lol. That destroy the chance of the Knicks to win, a wasted efffort on the come back.

Bout the Nuggets, I thought this team is for rea, but they struggled again, loss already twice in a row in blowout. Can anyone tell me what's happening to this team so we can stay away from betting on them?

∆ Mavs ML / D. Gafford 16+ PR @1.72 ∆  won

Gafford was recently traded from the Wizards to Dallas, and teams play each other today. I wouldn't call it a revenge game or anything, rather, it's a good spot for him against a WAS team that lacks big men, Marvin Bagley is not your traditional center.

Gafford finished with 19 points and 9 boards in just 17 minutes off the bench in his debut. I'd say it's a solid add by the Mavs, he gives them inside presence, athletic finishes around the rim, etc.  I won't be surprised if he gets extended minutes vs his former team and cruises past that 16+ PR line.
