Great game but GS just fell apart at the end. If they had Green and a 100% Thompson then the game probably would have been different. I had GS +7.5 when they were down big and a Warrior missed a wide open layup on their last possession so I lost by like a basket, lol typical. Fun to watch though.

Well its around half way through the season now and the Warriors sure do look like strong favorites to win with Klay coming back. The rest of the team has been dominating the first half of the year, and now they have the other half of the splash brothers back WATCH OUT!!!

Before I forget to comment, it was exciting to watch Klay Thompson return to the court after being injured for so long.

NBA Wednesday:
Indiana - Boston (Over 102.5 (Home Team - Score 102.5) 1.60)
Washington - Orlando (Less than 216.5 (Score 216.5) 1.75)

Indiana is throwing more points at home, with the Washington-Orlando match not very point rich lately. :rolleyes:

I'll go with

Heat + 2.5
Cavs + 5.5

Today betting looks a lot like putting a hand in the blender.

888 has been annoying me again so this is going to be another one of those all-or-nothing nights. All in on the Spurs.

My previous two bets were good but this one didn't go through, so I won't be betting for a while. Good luck guys.

Basketball is so hard to bet on. Seems like none of the player want to play until the end of the season. I love basketball though, a oick up game with just about anyone is one of my favorite things to do.

Rooting for the Phoenix Suns! I think they'll go pretty far. It's time to fly to the Sun and not get burned. Sir Charles Barkley I think he would be pleased :)

Two simple Monday NBA matches:

Boston v New Orleans (Boston (Match Winner) 1.42)

New York v Charlotte (New York (Match Winner) 1.82)


I expect a close result in the match in New York, but maybe if there are few points in the match, New York can win.

The defeat at New York yesterday was surprising to me, especially since they got out in a few punctual matches.:hmmmm:



Today in the NBA:

New York - Minnesota (Less than 211.5 (Score 211.5) 1.99)

Golden State - Detroit (Less than 215.5 (Score 215.5) 1.85)

There have been quite a few weird trap games recently, including the one where I lost my bank roll out of frustration. But that's the nature of the NBA I guess.

If you watch those games, it's amazing to see usually terrible teams "switch on" and play like playoff-calibre squads and teams that would usually decimate their opponents play as if they can't score and can't defend anymore. Trap games smh.

I understand what you're saying. :five:
Unfortunately, this is true of all sports lately, and my bankroll has already for me been swallowed up by a seemingly certain bet sometimes.

NBA Friday:
Charlotte - Oklahoma City (Charlotte -8.5 (Handicap -8.5) 1.67)

Charlotte’s win is likely, the odds aren’t even high (right now at 1.19), so I’d rather go for a handicap on it.
At home, they may be able to deliver the expected results.

NBA is too unpredictable, especially this season. I got a free bet and decided to make a multiway bet on 3 outcomes that were pretty obvious for me and didn't guess twice. So I'm not sure we should bet on NBA if we are looking for a profit ;) Embiid had to score 50 points to beat Magic recently. A lot of strong teams like Suns, GSW, Lakers, Nets, Grizzlies, Bulls, Bucks can defeat any other team or lost to any other team, at least in a regular season. And there are no completely trash teams so far. Pistons, Rockets, Thunder, Magic, Pacers can win 1 particular game versus a future champion.

so hard to win when they have calculated it already to their advantage and we will just get eaten up by commission long term

Lakers fan here and I don't see how we can do anything this postseason without trading Davis and I hate to say that as a Davis and Kentucky fan lol but truth is even if he was to get healthy how good would he even be? And what could we even get for him?

NBA Thursday:
Philadelphia - LA Lakers (Over 219.5 (Score: 219.5) 1.77)

Embid and James are now scattering points a lot and maybe driving each other into a lot of exact matches.
