I was just lucky with my pick as Oklahoma City Thunder really won the fight, I was also surprised aswell in get this match correct, for sure the Boston Celtics in the favorite to win and a solid team for sure, but it was really a shocking loss of the Boston Celtics,

Now! I forgot the games today so for sure will be now able to get the bet and predictions  for games today,

Denver Nuggets VS Orlando Magic,

The stake odds for this game are 1.24 for the Nuggets and 4.30 for the Orlando Magic, right now Vlatko Cancar, has a knee injury while Wendell Carter Jr., is questionable if he can play for the Orland o Magic, Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac, Franz Wagner, Gary Harris, and Joe Ingles all have injuries and can not play for the Orlando Magic, for this game because of the injuries of Orlando Magic, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

Houston Rockets VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 2.36 for the Houston Rockets and 1.62 for the Minnesota Timberwolves, right now Tari Eason, Dillon Brooks, and Victor Oladipo, can not play for the Houston Rockets, while Luka Garza is questionable if he can play for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Jaylen Clark can not play for the Minnesota Timberwolves, for this game because of the many injuries for the Houston Rockets and because the Rockets is not doing well right now my pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves,

Golden State Warriors VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.22 for the Golden State Warriors and 4.50 for the Detroit Pistons, right now Gary Payton II has a Hamstring injury and can not play for the Golden State Warriors, while Stanley Umude and Alec Burks are both questionable if they can play for the Piston, and Isaiah Stewart and Monte Morris are both can not play for the Detroit Piston and because the Pistons are a team in the bottom and they have many injuries my pick for this game are the Golden State Warriors,

Sacramento King VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Sacramento Kings and 2.60 for the Toronto Raptors, right now the Sacramento Kings don't have any injuries, while Gary Trent Jr. and Otto Porter Jr. are both questionable if they can play for the Raptors and Christian Koloko can not play for the Toronto Raptors for this game the Kings is at their 100% form and the Raptors are something that is inconsistent so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

This Warriors team season is done so far Steve Kerr remains their coach, man! he's philosophy is literally out of place, he ships their best young scoorer out Jordan Poole, that was fair enough, but what's with having Kuminga on the bench for the last 18 minutes of the game ? having already won the 3rd quarter by 20 points differents, he just doesn't trust these young guys, despite the fact that they his best assest other than Curry right now, Pod, Trayce and Kuminga would be having more time on any roster in the league right, and he should take a deep look into the toping the league and looking how many minute their young lads are playing either as a starter or of the bench, he's the main reason of Team USA woeful under performance in the FIBA too, I just don't know why it's taking the Dubs too long to understand they need a big change.

0/2. But that was fun! Right? I hope you guys watched the 2 games too because I was entertained at such a high level that I didn't even care if I lost or not.

Anyway, 14 games later. Wow. Parlay makers will have a good time today. I will also make one and try my luck.
Here are my single bets though.

Indiana Pacers - Atlanta Hawks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) @1.76 only. Don't want to get greedy, this Hawks team are inconsistent, they might resist.

Brooklyn Nets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5) I don't know if this is a steal or not. I don't see any injury reports from the Thunder team. It looks like they are being underestimated.

Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) Melton out, Korkmaz and Covington probable. But no big man for the Knicks, this will be tough.

Chicago Bulls - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) Going for the underdog. I still don't trust the Bulls.

New Orleans Pelicans - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML @1.91 Pelicans at home but Clippers are a hot team. Trey Murphy is supposed to be out but upgraded to questionable against the Clippers. Left knee tendonitis.

That's it for me. Other games will be selected live. Good luck to everyone.

That was unbelievable for Jokic, it was a shot that 90% will not went in, but it happen. It was a complete come back and it only happen in the 4th quarter, that's how dangerous the Nuggets are. And to the Warriors, they have in this situation many times that they take a good lead, a very comfortable lead but end up losing because they can't sustain their energy on the last quarter.

If that didn't go to OT, Nuggets will still likely to win as they already have the momentum, and there's also a chance that the spread will be covered.

Bettors of Nuggets was probably praying Jokic would miss. 

Nuggets did not cover the handicap. When they are matched with the best teams, the Warriors can step up their game and nobody can take them for granted. I learned not to wager when they demolished the Boston Celtics last month.

But the Nuggets won by three. Nikola Jokic hits a buzzer from 40 feet behind. The pro Warriors audience was briefly taken in silence by their disbelief that the match just ended without overtime.

What an incredible match! The Warriors have missing members of the squad however they played well and took us by surprise.

Everyone was probably betting on the Nuggets. More money was entering for the Nuggets bet as evidence by the line movement. Line opened at -2.5 now it's already at -4. However, I still like the Nuggets here since they were playing impressive basketball ^{(X the blowout loss to OKC)}, they are 8-2 on their last 10 and they have a decent road record, same with the Warriors record on their home court.

Good luck bro!

Thanks and yes, i'm only doing one bet per day. I tried doing two before, and my bankroll didn't last that long.

I would've liked the Warriors if the handicap was a few points higher, given that Green is still suspended. Going for an obvious play and that's the Nuggets to cover the handicap since the Warriors recently struggled against weaker teams.

I missed that 12 games. Crap. So busy.
Anyway, we have 2 games today and 1 is starting. I made my bets earlier today.



I believe the Milwaukee Bucks could steal that one in the Spurs' homecourt and can also cover the spreads. They should. With Giannis and Dame around this should be an easy one for them.

Denver Nuggets on the other hand only have Reggie Jackson as probable to play. With the Warriors lacking an inside defender Jokic should dominate the paint and his play with Murray (pick and roll) will have a high success rate.
The Golden State Warriors will be playing without Payton due to his injury in their last game (he was really frustrated when he got hurt) so that's another good defender missing the game.

Good luck everyone.

Good call on the Pacers bet, congrats to us, however, OKC try to rally, but they lack the time to make a great comeback against the Hawks.

We only have 2 games tonight?

Bucks vs Spurs, Bucks trying to get into the win column so I will go with them at -6.5
Warriors vs Nuggets - homecourt advantage for the Warriors, it might be a long shot, but I will go with them at ML

Hit on all 3.  Bulls looked decent in the first half but I think being on a second night of a back to back killed them in the second.  The Bucks and Pacers scoring machine did not disappoint.  Crazy because 10 years ago I don't think you'd ever see an over under as high as 250 let alone bet the over confidently.  Defenses are terrible nowadays.

Good for you that have found at least that Boston Celtics would have lost that game considering that this season they are the huge favorites to win the NBA.As for Sacramento Kings I have lost a lot of money on them as I had them in every single parlay before yesterday night where they game was played.It shows that even odds of less than 1.10 can make you lose a lot of money and that is why I have completely lost faith in betting on sport anymore,I bet on slots as I know that is completely luck related while I can never accept some team to lose with an odd of 1.07 as that is out of my imagination.

Missed Yesterday's game and I was late in giving the results for my bet and prediction for the game on January 3, so here are the results,

Oklahoma City Thunders VS Boston Celtics SCORE 127 - 123 - WIN

A close game against the Boston Celtics and I really never imagined that the Thunders could win this but it was just a wild guess, I can feel that the Boston Celtics will have a failure with something but that is just a hunch, and the Oklahoma City Thunders Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could make a go with it, Jalen Williams got 16 points, Josh Giddey got 23 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 36 points winning this game, and OKC winning as an underdog is a great deal with me aswell,

Sacramento Kings VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 104 - 111 - LOST

It is quite remarkable that the underdog wins again, and this time I don't have any hunch that the Hornets could win against the Sacramento Kings, it could be a coincidence, but yeah It was Domantis Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox but it was not enough because the Charlotte Hornet even though they don't have their main players Paul Jamaine Washington Jr. still got 17, Miles Bridge got 27 points and Terry Rozier got 34 points for this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Orlando Magic SCORE 121 - 115 - WIN

Just like I thought and just like what I wanted and that is for the Warriors to win in this game for this game the Orlando Magic got their 1st lead but in the 1st half it was really a close game that it ended up in a draw both teams score was 55, but in the 2nd half the Warriors was motivated in the 4th quarter and just like the other games the Golden State Warriors are getting good at the 4th quarter and there is no stopping them,

It wasn't and it was a good win. I thought it's too easy for the Clippers as they were leading with double digits but Suns came back and reduce the lead to 7 points but that was less than a minute in the 4th quarter, so they have no enough time to win. -3.5 is safe, but you could get better odds with -4.5. Anyway congrats. Are you doing one bet per day?

Great game yesterday but I was quite lucky this time even though I only got 2 out of 3 here is the result of yesterday's game,

Philadelphia 76ers (1.19) VS Chicago Bulls (4.90) - WIN


From start to finish the Philadelphia 76ers had the lead for this game Joel Embiid also got 2 blocks. It was a great defense for the 76ers, in maintaining the score of DeMar DeRozan at 16 points, Embiid also got a triple-double for this game, and great back-ups by Kelly Oubre Jr. Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey it was like a different Philadelphia 76ers that night for me it was because there is no Zach LeVine for the Chicago Bulls it could be a different result if he was on the court and I was not betting for them because he was not playing,  

Oklahoma City Thunders (2.44) VS Boston Celtics (1.59) - LOST


The OKC Thunders got a great start with this game but the Boston Celtics turned the table at the end of the 1st half, but in the 2nd half it was a great lead for the Oklahoma City Thunders that led them to victory but before that, it was a close match between the two teams, it was a missed for Jaylen Brown on the 3 points that cause them losing, even though Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis both got a double-double for this game, they didn't manage to win, it was my lost as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander managed with 36 points,

New Orleans Pelicans (1.45) VS Brooklyn Nets (2.85) - WIN


It was an easy game for the New Orleans Pelicans leading the game this much because from start to finish the lead was for the New Orleans Pelicans, all the way Zion Williamson also got 1 block, it was a spread for the Pelicans while it was a very one-sided game, CJ McCollum had a great lead for this game,

Thanks. Despite the double-digit lead, I almost thought they'd throw when the Celtics were one bucket away from forcing OT.  

Trap odds or not, i'll gladly bet on the Clippers -3.5 when the Suns won't have KD for today's match. I'm surprised it's still this close when the Clippers aren't missing any key player while the Suns manage to gain some form because of their easy schedule at home. Then again, there's still a chance that the Suns could pop off because we've seen coincidences where teams would do better without one of their best players, even though it doesn't make sense.

That's basketball, or any pro sports you just never know.  With that being said I'm taking the Knicks-9 tonight.  Knicks playing a depleted bulls team who is playing the second game of a back to back.  I don't know what the under is but I think I'm gonna hit the under as well.  The other bet I'm looking at is pacers/bucks over 257.  These 2 teams run and gun when they play each other I expect a high scoring game here.

Too many NBA games tonight (12 games). Can you guys post your pick for night games. Share the one you think is a sure win. Just want to tail on it. Can't decide which team to pick.

I can't decide which team I will pick. Today's NBA game is unpredictable, just like what happened to the Kings vs. Hornets last night. I can't imagine how the Kings lost to the Hornets with their healthy team and home court advantage. 🤦

Great decision picking the Pacers on their home court. On the last 3 games they played, it was on the home court of Bucks, and Indiana won of them, so playing at home infront of a huge crowd, this should inspire them more. I am gonna tail with you on this pick mate. About the OKC, I think I'll pass, I just bet bigger on Indiana, and this is just probably my bet for tomorrow.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Just missed some bets this start of the year but it's all good.

Gonna be a good game between the Bucks and the Pacers again, seems this two have build up their rivalry already, so I will go with the underdog in Pacers at home currently @2.34 ML. And then OKC @1.81 against the Hawks ML as well. Just want to bet early so that in any case I stuck up later, my bets is already in although I could fall on the last minute changes as far those who are going to play or not.

That's a bad 1st and 4th quarter for the Sacramento Kings. Thankfully, I avoided that one. I only watched the full game of the Warriors versus the Orlando Magic. Damn, Gary Payton is hurt again but Steph Curry got so hot that most of his threes are sinking in the 4th quarter. The officials in that game keep on calling fouls, I guess they are the technical types who don't like little bumps. But Kuminga is the second one who contributed the most. From defense to offense, that young dude is certainly improving his game.
Philadelphia 76ers - Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5)  - Covered. Won. Yey!
Oklahoma City Thunder - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5) - Lost, Argh!
New Orleans Pelicans - Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans (-3.5) - Won!
Memphis Grizzlies - San Antonio Spurs - Memphis Grizzlies (-10.5) - Did not cover. Lost.

2/4 + 1 for the Warriors live bet. Early 1st quarter while the Magic are dominating them.
Not good enough but I will take it. @ralle14 nice catch there betting for the OKC Thunder. Congratulations to all who won today.
