Picks for 3/16/2022

Golden State -3 @-110
Toronto -1.5 @-110

I'm ok if I can get a split today. Might add later if something makes sense.

Going to try:
Josh Hart O18.5pts @-120
Siakam O22.5pts@-110

Not that confident in player picks but they make sense.

Results for March 16 2022 Wednesday NBA Picks

TOR -1.5 @-110 (WON 103-100)

Siakam O22.5 pts @-110 (Won 31)

GS -3.0 @-110 (LOSS 110-88)

Josh Hart O18.5 pts @-120 (Loss 17)

2/4 Not the end of world, but not good.

Not winning the Josh Hart bet made this into a so so day. He had like 12 at the half and I he guess couldn't find the basket in the 2nd half or was passing it to teammates. I should have avoided anything from the Trailblazers anyway since they're so awful and inconsistent but I really thought this guy was the one bright spot on the team. They trying but they're not good, so I really can't kill them. I should mock the teams that lose to them for not preparing and showing up against them.

But the bet made sense since he's been playing well lately.

GS just got beat by a top team and it happens.

Didn't want to bet a lot of NBA games since I got beat up on NCAA games the day before and I might try to make up for the loss. Only one NBA game tonight and I'll look for player prop bets there.

In the last few days I bet with mixed success, I better not even put it out here ...

Today, I think it’s a bold that the Orlando match will be a “point-rich”:
Orlando - Detroit (Less than 216.5 (Score: 216.5) 2.00)

Good luck! :cool:

The guys ran a little too far ... 254 points, and this year it gained another player 50+ points .
I suspect this was a career peak for Saddiq Bey.
So slowly it won't be cool if someone throws 40+ points, because 50+ points are getting more and more common. :hmmmm:
Incredible.

NBA picks for Friday March 18, 2022

Good grief, can't wait to see how these blow up on me, lol. How about the guy that scores 1 point shy of my over by the half then sits out or decides to pass the ball up at every opportunity in the 2nd half? lol Ugh, its just part of the game, no biggie.

Siakim O23.5 pts @-110

D. Booker O26.5 pts @-110

Celtics -9.5 @-110

Knicks -6 @-110

Suns -5.5 @-110

Raptors -9 @-110

Net -14.5@-110 Going to see if Durant Drummond Dragic, Brown along with Curry if he plays and supporting cast can beat up a team that isn't good but tries to play. 15 points is a lot to overcome, so we shall see.

Anything above 4/7 would be awesome, 4/7 wins would be nice, 3/7 is ok.

Results for Friday March 18 2022 NBA Picks

Only went 3/7 so another LOSING day. So not good.

Celtics -9.5 @-110 (WON 126-97)

Knicks -6 @-110 (Lost 97/100)
The Knicks got out scored at the end of a game which they haven't been allowing the last few games so it happens. Knicks got outscored 31-25 in the last quarter and that 6 point difference determined my bet.

Suns -5.5 @-110 (Won 105-129)
D. Booker O26.5 @-110 (WON 28)

Raptors -9 @-110 (Lost 128/123)
The Lakers surprised me with Lebron and Westbrook both having turn back the clock games.
Siakim O23.5 @-110 (Lost 17)

Nets -14.5@-110
The Nets gave up too many points against a Portland team that isnt good but plays hard.

So not that bad but not good as I lost 1 1/2 full bets on the day but that's a small amount. Try again today with only a few NBA games on the schedule.

Added Hornets -7.5 @-110 because the Mavericks look dead. Powell is worthless and the Hornets look like they're going to destroy the Mavs as Luka can't do everything no matter how good he is. But we'll see, there is a lot of basketball to play.

Lol I give up, now the Mavs feel like playing lol.

Hornets are losing 47-46 and they've only scored 11 points in the 2nd quarter with a few minutes left. they scored 35 in the 1st and this is just unbelievable.

Added Lakers -3.5 @-110

Awful day.

Dallas to win 1st quarter @-105 (LOST 24-35) Dallas is suppost to be a decent team but everytime I bet them like against BOS or yesterday they don't show up, lol

Brunson over 16.5 @ -105 (Lost He had 10 points in the 1st half and didn't do anything in the 2nd half, lol.)

Bucks @ Twolves Under 244.5 @-110 (Lost 257)

Freak is out so took the Twolves -2 @-110 (WON)

Took Hornets -7.5@-110 (WON 108-129)

Lakers -3.5 @-110 (lost) lol Wizards out scored them in the last quarter it was a disaster.

2/7

Dreadful day. I lost nearly half of what I bet yesterday, ugh. Not the end of the world since the bets are a very small portion of the account but I need to make less bets and focus on the best picks.

I liked your Detroit pick because they had given Cleveland trouble this season but I didn't know if Cunningham was going to play and I didn't like Detroit on the road.

No sports bets for me today. I got beat up yesterday so its best to take a day off and maybe just enjoy the games instead of trying to chase a loss.

Good luck to those wagering today.

Some days it doesn't go your way. You are doing fine. Remember, it is a marathon and not a sprint. Consistency and knowledge will prevail over time.

NBA Picks for Monday March 21 2022

Doing something different as I'm going with player bets.
Could use some decent picks.

Tobias Harris total pts, rebounds and assists over 30.5 @-115
DeMar Rozen total pts, rebounds and assists over 31.5@-125
Nikola Vucevic total pts, rebounds and assists over 29.5 @-130
Miles Bridges O19.5 Points @ -115
Terry Rozier O20.5@-125

Added:
Cavs -8.5 @-110 (in game) Since the Lakers look like they're having difficulties tonight early.
Heat -8.0 @-110 if the heat cant beat a 76ers team without their 2 big stars by a lot then they're not trying.
Under 224.5 @-110 NOLA @ Hornets. They're going to have to pick up the pace and find the basket if they want to go over that.
Under 217.5@-115 Pistons (in game) Detroit can't find the basket tonight.
Hopefully get some of my money back if Rozier and Bridges don't show up tonight.

Interested in the Twolves, waiting for the confirmed players before doing anything though. And Towns is playing so Min @ onthe money line +100 to win
And that's too many bets. If I can break even I'll be so happy.

Results for Monday March 21 2022:
tobias harris total pts, rebounds and assists over 30.5 @-115 (LOST 28) no show for most of the 1st half

DeMar Rozen total pts, rebounds and assists over 31.5@-125 (WON 32)

Nikola Vucevic total pts, rebounds and assists over 29.5 @-130 (WON +30)

Miles Bridges O19.5 Points @ -115 (LOST 16, No Show for most of the game)

Terry Rozier O20.5@-125 (LOST 17 No show for most of the game)

cavs -8.5 @-110 lakers look lifeless and die at the end (LOST Lakers 131-120)

heat -8.0 @-110 if the heat cant beat a 76ers team without their 2 big stars by alot then they're not trying. lol (LOST 106-113 76ers) Pat Milsap with 5/4/1 beat the Heat, lol Forget Harden and Embiid, they should go with a cast of Niang, Maxey, Milsap, Harris, Milton and Jordan unbelievable. Heat must be going to the club or partied the night before. Heat losing to that was disgraceful.

Under 224.5 @-110 NOLA @ Hornets. They're going to have to pick up the pace and find the basket if they want to go over that.. (WON 103-106)

Under 217.5@-115 Pistons (in game) Detroit can't find the basket tonight (LOST 119-115= 234) They found and made up for the light tally in the next few quarters, lol. Good grief.

Min @ on the money line +100 to win, lol (Lost, Minn came back late and took the lead but couldn't hold onto it. Best game of the night by far. )

3/10, WOW another bad day. Lost 50% of the total money bet yesterday. The Bulls were the only ones to show up and Rozen barely made that total with like 2mins left in the game, lol. I'm going broke at this rate, lol.

So many upsets and no shows that it was silly. I still have no idea how one of the best teams in the league was beat with a team's two best stars sitting out and lost to the backups? And with Harden and Embiid out then Harris should have been the guiding force on that team but did less than his average same ole average numbers, lol. That's gambling, I guess.

If the Twolves could have won that tight game then I would have at least gone 4/10 but the way the night was going I knew that wasn't going to happen, lol.

The truth is I'm not good at this lol, just like so many other folks. But I enjoy the games and I'm not betting over my head.

There were few points in a tight match and the Pelicans almost won.
The New Orleans advantage ran out in the final quarter.
But I was expecting more points ... it is. :rolleyes:
