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,

Here are the results of my bets and predictions for games today it is not really a great result but still I got 1 win and risking it all with the Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors was a bad idea,

Orlando Magic VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 92 - 113 - LOST

From start to finish the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the lead from start to finish 1st half ended with 37 to 67, in favor of the Minnesota Timberwolves, this is the weakness of the Magic they don't have enough tall guys that could defend the rim, while the Orlando Magic can not defended their rim more often because they lack height, for sure I thought that the Orlando Magic could make a leap further and win this game because of Banchero and I thought that this is his turn to shine but it was Naz Reid getting the double-double of 10 rebounds and 13 points, Jaden McDaniels got 15 points, Rudy Gobert has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 21 points, and Karl Anthony-Towns has 28 points,

Detroit Pistons VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 110 - 131 - WIN

The only win that I have at 1st I was shocked by how the Detroit Pistons got the 1st quarter lead but the Sacramento Kings have gotten their momentum in the 2nd quarter,
then the Sacramento Kings are now leading the game it was amazing but at least the Detroit Pistons have tried but failed miserably as the Sacramento Kings have gotten a tremendous lead in just a short time, Malik Monk got 20 points, De'Aaron Fox got 26 points, Keegan Murray got 32 points and Domantas Sabonis got a triple-double of 10 rebounds 13 assist and 37 points, for this game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 132 - 131 - LOST

Now this is really close game but the Los Angeles Lakers have taken the win even though it was a 1-lead game it is still a win for the LA Lakers, even though Anthony Davis has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 41 points for this game it was really enough for them to win it because the Toronto Raptors is likely can control the pace of the game but in this game for sure I thought that the Raptors could win this but I was wrong with my pick, and the Los Angeles Lakers manage to make it a win for them but it was really a close game,

God damn! That Sacrament Kings bet scared me a bit there.
Detroit Pistons started way strong. Their 3-point percentage was damn high and Bojan Bogdanovic was sizzling hot everywhere. He is literally cooking in the first quarter.
But luckily, the Kings found their way back in the second quarter.

My bet was -10.5 which is why I am worried.
0
Orlando Magic - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves & Over 216.5 - Lost. I am a damned idiot. I forgot that the Magic will have a hard time making a score without Franz. I should've taken that into consideration.
Detroit Pistons - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Win
New York Knicks - Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Win
Dallas Mavericks - Memphis Grizzlies - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) - Lost
Los Angeles Lakers - Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Lakers (-2.5) - Lost

2/5 and my same game parlay for the Kings was also a loss. A very bad day for me but congratulations to the winners today.

Sometimes it happens, even the Suns, we thought they would easily win since Ja Morant was absent but it turns out the Memphis won. This is their 2 consecutive wins since missing Morant, it seems like they have already adjusted, and Morant was a big factor on their success. This team plays hard, they share the ball well and they attack, unlike the Mavericks which sometimes easy to predict as it's only between the two (irving and Doncic) who would usually carry the team.

Damn, I also had the Kings + Knicks with the handicap that they covered and then Mavericks, no handicap at all all they have to do is beat the Memphis team.

Unfortunately, it's not just me that they ruin the parlay, and they thought that it's going to be easy without Ja Morant. But not sure what happen to the Mavericks, maybe they got overconfident on this game making us lose our bet.

Almost. Dallas ruined your parlay OG, it could be easy for them at least to win since Morant was already out for the reason. This is a big upset, Luka + Kyrie loss to the undermanned Memphis. The biggest story here is on the rebounding big difference, Dallas -33, while Memphis got 54.
