We have 8 games today but I am just betting on 3 games only for games today

Atlanta Hawks VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.36 for the Atlanta Hawks and 3.30 for the Washington Wizards, right now Dejounte Murray and Trae Young are questionable if they can play for the Hawks Vit Krejci, Wesley Matthews, De'Andre Hunter, and Mouhamed Gueye can not play for the Atlanta Hawks while Johnny Davis has Illness and can not play for the Washington Wizards, so for this game, the Atlanta Hawks has many injuries but right now I can not trust the Washington Wizards right now because they are not doing so well with their game and even with those injuries my bet is for the Atlanta Hawks.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.15 for the Milwaukee Bucks and 5.80 for the Golden State Warriors, right now Jae Crowder has a Groin injury and can not play for the Milwaukee Bucks while Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Moses Moody, Chris Paul, and Gary Payton II can not play for the Golden State Warriors, so for this game this is it the main Core for the Golden State Warriors can not play because of injuries and Stephen Curry is on his rest, so it is up to the newbie's if they can do well for this game, but for this game, I think I will go with the team that likely going to win and my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks.

Utah Jazz VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 2.06 for the Utah Jazz and 1.80 for the Los Angeles Lakers, right now the Utah Jazz don't have any injuries while Cam Reddish, LeBron James, Christian Wood, D'Angelo Russell, and Anthony Davis, are all questionable if they can play for the Los Angeles Lakers while Gabe Vincent has a knee injury and can not play for the team, for this game the Utah Jazz is at their 100% form while the L.A. Lakers had their injuries and not in their 100% right now so I think I may risk my bet for this one and go with the Utah Jazz, so my pick is the Utah jazz.

8 games today guys.

Boston Celtics - Houston Rockets - Boston Celtics (-13.5) I don't like the -13.5 but I have to live with it. The other option is -15.5 which I don't like more because I think they are underestimating the Rockets. But, after that loss against the Bucks that led them to restrict Taum and Brown, I think they will force a win today but I hope they will cover the spreads.

Atlanta Hawks - Washington Wizards - Atlanta Hawks (-5.5) Hawks had been losing. It's time to win at their home.

Milwaukee Bucks - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (10.5) - The Warriors may have won against the Bulls but I don't think they are a team to lose by 10 and more. They will probably use their bench and Kuminga is not something to mess with.

Memphis Grizzlies - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-10.5) After that loss against the Mavericks, I am sure they want to go back on the winning spree and if it is against the Grizzlies without Ja Morant, they might win it even though the spread is high.

Good luck everyone!!!

I won't go on parlay on tonight's game, hard to predict as the teams that are playing are in the top.

But I will go on Atlanta against the Pacers at -5.5 @ 2.00. I know that Pacers i still a good team without Haliburton. But playing in their homecourt and with that big momentum win against the Sixers the last time. I think the Hawks might get this one and covered those spread.

Here are my results for yesterday.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Brooklyn Nets - Cleveland Cavaliers (-1.5) - Won

Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) - Won

Just like how I predicted, Boston Celtics will be fatigued from that game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and worse it went to overtime so they will restrict the minutes of their offensive duo Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Portland Trail Blazers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) - Won.

Without any problem.
Dallas Mavericks - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-3.5) - Loss

Almost won that game from the Knicks. That last run in the fourth quarter did put the game as close as possible and if only they shoot well on the last minutes they could've won it.

10 games later. Rawr.
Here are my picks.
Atlanta Hawks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML - I am going to take the risk even without Haliburton. Let's see what the Pacers can do by using their speed against the Hawks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings ML
Detroit Pistons - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (-5.5)
Miami Heat - Orlando Magic - Miami Heat (-1.5)

Good luck everyone.

I do sometimes copy others as well, I do agree that multi bet is really hard to win unless you are really that lucky that everything falls on your lap and win that huge odds. And with the games right now totally unpredictable, it's very hard to win.

Like the games that we had the other night, multiple OT's and then the Bucks with a huge win against the favorite Boston. OKC as well just dominating the Portland team and then Lakers who we thought could have gotten over their woes, but was beaten by a Beal lead Phoenix Suns.

That's because 1.07 odds does not guarantee a team will win, you are only unlucky if you bet on that team and they lose. Don't make that as a hindrance for betting on NBA games, that's just one game, move on to that and focus on the other games. Sure you will miss the fun if you will not come back betting, hehe.

I copy with single bets not on multi. Doing multi bet is just purely for fun for me, because I know it's hard to win on parlay even its lowest multi.

Huge win by OKC, and as I expected, they covered the spread with more run for those bettors.

And with that win, I did roll it with the Lakers vs Suns, live betting in the first quarter.



So congrats with those who win in tonight's game.

It is common to lose here,I know it is a shame when you lose a multi ticket with those odds for just one leg but I still cannot forget Sacramento Kings losing with a 1.07 odd and that should be enough of a red flag to stop betting on this league although it is the best for basketball.I of course continue to bet in this league too,I copy other people multi bets and hope for the best but usually give a look to the bet I am copying so I know I copy bets with over and not money line options.

Ouch,this always hurts when you lose by just one leg and to lose on Denver Nuggets is even more dissapointing. When you lose on the clubs that are always favorites it hurts. Jokic cannot play alone against Utah,other players werent even near his level on this game. This shows why Jokic was the main reason they won the NBA last season.

Indiana Pacers - Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) - Won. Somehow. Just the exact spread that I needed. Thankfully, I avoided my damn greed.

Charlotte Hornets - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Won

Miami Heat - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5) - Won

Chicago Bulls - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (5.5) - Won. Another exact winning spread. I think this is the first time that I won 2 bets with just a 0.5 point difference on the same day.

Golden State Warriors - New Orleans Pelicans - Golden State Warriors ML - Lost


4/5 on my singles. Yes!
Sadly, I didn't win any parlay. It could've been big if only I got one perfectly.

Later we have 5 games only. Be careful with the teams who played yesterday, consider the fatigue. Celtics for example battled with the Twolves until overtime. A back-to-back game can affect them.

Here are my bets for later.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Brooklyn Nets - Cleveland Cavaliers (-1.5)
Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) - Bucks are the favorites because of what I said above. I am expecting restricted minutes for their offensive duo.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Portland Trail Blazers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5)
Dallas Mavericks - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-3.5) - Do check the injury report. So many core players will not play for the Mavs.

Good luck everyone.

There's no definite time yet as to when he will return, but this one is big.

As for the Utah Jazz, you have to be careful backing against them as they are playing so well recently.  They beat two great teams (Sixers and Bucks) before their recent win against the Nuggets. And they could be the darkhorse in the West now.

I'm betting early on my fav team right now which is OKC,

'

They have been covering majority of their games even at a double digit handicap, so hopefully they can win big against a struggling Portland team. As for the Sixers lost, they have a chance to win the game, and I thought they will. Having a 4 point lead with a minute to go, Maxey a dunk and then a 3 ball. However, they make a costly mistake of fouling on the other end for a three point play and they failed to score while Trae Young split his FT for a tie score. But it's too late as the homecourt has the momentum in the OT game.

Within the locker room of the Warriors, I can sense the tension. The disappointment of Kuminga on how Steve Kerr uses him limits his potential and it spread to social media. I can tell that Kuminga is not the only one who is dissatisfied with the state of the team. The small ball that Kerr relied on no longer works or perhaps the players are getting older and not as good as they used to be.


Without Joel Embiid the 76ers is a different level team. Before this match, I lost my wager when they lost to the Utah Jazz. I stopped betting on them until Embiid comes back.

Fuck another 1 leg again. This is my 2nd time for this month with 1 leg didn't hit with 10+ leg. Disappointed with the Denver Nuggets. Jokic was the only one playing good, all of his team mates are having a bad day. I didn't know the Utah Jazz 11-4 in their last 15 games. Another frustrating day. Fuck.

Yes, it seems like they lose their old chemistry as they were very inconsistent now. Although there are rumors that Draymond might return soon but their defensive presence in the paint is really a concern. It's okay if their opponnents aren't shooting well, but they have already adjusted and learn how to shot from the outside while retaining their good inside presence.

Maybe coach Kerr strategy is not working anymore? And the small ball won't work in general?


Can't believe this went to OT and Sixers loss.

Warriors is down against the Pelicans right now.

I will go with the Pels going -9.5 @1.85. It seems that the Warriors mentality right now is very off as a former champion.

As they are down 13 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter.

Hawks and Sixers going into OT.

10 games! Woooh! It will be a sweet prize for a parlay.

Here are my picks for today.
Indiana Pacers - Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) - Haliburton is out so I won't get my hopes up for a blowout but I do wish they can cover that spread.

Charlotte Hornets - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Kings played well on the second half yesterday against the Pistons. I hope they can repeat the same performance today or if possible be better and start strong.

Miami Heat - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5) Heat is still filled with injured stars so I'd rather pick the Thunder for today with only Bertans and Sarr who will not be able to play.

Chicago Bulls - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (5.5) I am trusting Sengun to keep this game close or better, win it!

Golden State Warriors - New Orleans Pelicans - Golden State Warriors ML - Playing at home, a must-win for the Warriors to avoid a 11-11 home standing.

Good luck everyone!

Looks like the Clippers recent winning streak has paid dividends for them as they’ve now signed Kawhi Leonard to a 3 year extension (for over $150,000,000). Not sure if that means the Clippers are a good bet today or not. Quite possible Kawhi and Harden spent all night drinking in a strip club last night.

The result of my pick for games yesterday

Orlando Magic (2.70) VS Minnesota Timberwolves (1.50) - WIN


Pretty much it was a one-sided game and I was right to take the Timberwolves as many injured players on the Magic side is a big risk for sure because it got a close odd that means there are some trusting Paulo Banchero in this game but as I have seen it the Orlando Magic got plenty of those but they are having a hard time with the Minnesota Timberwolves because of the sizes of the players, the Timberwolves got Mike Conley Jr. getting double-double Naz Reid also have double-double, Rudy Gobert also got double-double for this game, and Karl Anthony-Towns that gotten the lead points,

New York Knicks (1.15) VS Portland Trail Blazers (6.00) - WIN


For sure the Trail Blazers are one of the struggling teams, while the New York Knicks are progressing pretty great for sure they are a team that is making good great winning right now Quentin Grimes Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride are getting great with their performance, but for this game it was Julius Randle again and OG Anunoby heavy lead score, while Jalen Brunson was for making the play and Isaiah Hartenstein got a pretty much great rebounding for this game,

Dallas Mavericks (1.27) VS Memphis Grizzlies (4.00) - LOST


This one I was baffled I really thought that the Mavericks were winning this and even without Ja Morant the Grizzlies were now playing well, while I thought that the Dallas Mavericks were already winning this game but I was wrong, even though Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving did play and got big points for this game it was not enough as their team doesn't do well while the Grizzlies got their 2 prominent scorers, Marcus Smart, and Desmond Bane they got a great score while the other players are there for  back-up and scored 10 plus, that has made the Dallas Mavericks win this game,
