Dallas Mavericks @ New Orleans Pelicans: Dallas Mavericks (+ 3.5) /// 1.73
Last bet won. And this is my 4th winning bet in a row. Yes, it was a game without defense, so both Miami and New York showed very solid shooting percentages. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 198-212 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 7-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Dallas Mavericks on the road will not lose to New Orleans Pelicans by more than 3 points. It is important to me that Anthony Davis and P.J. Washington are completely healthy. They are key players for Dallas. Cooper Flagg is not as important as a completely healthy Mavericks frontcourt. But yes, there are injury problems and the participation of Cooper Flagg, Max Christie, and Klay Thompson is in question. I have analyzed a lot of information about the severity of these players' injuries and I think Cooper Flagg and Max Christie are likely to play, while Klay Thompson is unlikely to. As for the Pelicans, Herbert Jones' participation is in question, but he is also likely to play in the upcoming game. Dallas has not lost by 3 points or more in 12 out of the last 15 games against New Orleans. Bet? Absolutely!

Orlando Magic @ Portland Trail Blazers: Orlando Magic (- 2.5) /// 2.00
Last bet lost. The ghost of the 4th quarter won't leave me alone this NBA betting season. Let's be honest, Dallas dominated and was winning by 11 points in the 4th quarter. What happened next? I can't explain it. It feels like Dallas started playing in energy-saving mode to be more fresh for the back-to-back against Denver. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 198-213 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 7-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Orlando Magic on the road will beat Portland Trail Blazers by 3 points or more. Both teams have back-to-back games. But Orlando's starting five played fewer minutes in the game against Golden State. In addition, Jalen Suggs and Tristan da Silva got some rest. Both of these players are listed as questionable for the upcoming game against Portland. The Trail Blazers have a similar situation with Jerami Grant, who did not play in the game against Detroit. My feeling says Portland is the underdog. In addition, Orlando has regularly won on the road against the Trail Blazers in previous seasons. Bet? Sure!

This ended up quite well: 4-1 win for Legia, 3-1 win for Strasbourg and 3-2 win for AEK(half stake back)
, some crazy luck especially at AEK that scored IIRC in 90+8 and 90+14 * there were many intreruptions during the 2nd half, but IMO not enough for the 8 minutes of added time(I've expected like 5 and I watch a lot of football games from all around the World), than the referee extended the game more- did he bet on the hosts too?! lol- I'll take it, I'm just saying that some 'weird' things is happening in Sports in general with the referees* I've seen some investigations in NBA too because of some 'weird' calls, I mean we've seen so many games decided by this guys and there aren't many investigations(if there is any) and/or consequences for their actions... for some reason- IMO with the video assistance some of this decisions got even worse, while also ruining the experience of watching a sports event as some of this 'breaks' to watch a replay lasts for way too long...I totally agree with the 1st comment here Steph gets such a bad whistle the suns can’t even foul him on purpose lol , SGA would still be at the line shooting FTs lol* in this situation, it ended up well for the Warriors but in so many similar ones it ends up influencing the result... why fix matches with so many people involved from both teams, when you can do it with the refs?! * just a bit of a rant as I kinda hate this bad officials... I might start to avoid this competitions altogether because of them as it's already too much trying to avoid betting on teams that 'throw away' games, I'm not going to start following all the refs from all the competitions I'm betting on- the easier solution is just to drop the competition/sport where this things happen very often...
Anyway, have a great end of 2025 everyone - Happy Holidays and GLGL all with your bets

California Golden Bears @ Hawaii Rainbow Warriors: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (- 2.5) /// 2.00
Last bet won. I had deja vu, as Orlando failed in the 4th quarter. But this time Portland missed important shots in the clutch, which allowed us to win. But Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones played a very solid game! I have to admit that. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 199-213 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 7-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors at home will beat California Golden Bears by 3 points or more. Yes, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Today, there is a logical break in almost all US sports. But, as is traditional on this holiday, we will enjoy an NCAAF game. Last year, there was a very dramatic game on Christmas Day, and we bet on South Florida Bulls winning against San Jose State Spartans. Let me remind you that in that game South Florida Bulls came back in the last 2 seconds of the match and won in overtime. We won with odds of “2.10”. Today I propose to bet on the tasty odds of “2.00”, and I think Hawaii will win easily without any nerves. Bet? Absolutely!

Yes, Billy! I completely agree! I don't know why, but there are many more games this season where teams dominate the first 2-3 quarters, and then something inexplicable happens and they stop playing (as a result they lose in the 4th quarter). About 70-80% of all my unsuccessful predictions were for games with a similar scenario. So I completely agree with you.
I also agree about the referees in the NBA. I've written about this more than once. Even in the Playoffs, there were games where referees' mistakes affected the result (remember at least the 2nd game of the series between Philadelphia and New York in the 2023/2024 season, where the referee did not give the 76ers a legal timeout in the clutch).

That will be a tight game, its best to go for double chance and under 3.5 goals

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets: Denver Nuggets (- 1.5) /// 1.80
Last bet won. And again, a Christmas miracle in the NCAAF! Hawaii was losing by 21 points, but then, with 10 seconds left in the 4th quarter, they scored a touchdown that won us money. If anyone else besides me bet on this tasty Christmas sports dish, congratulations. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 199-213 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 8-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Denver Nuggets at home will beat Minnesota Timberwolves by 2 points or more. Another Christmas super game! I don't think Jaden McDaniels will play, as his hip injury will limit his ability to defend effectively on the perimeter against the Nuggets' backcourt players. This is a key injury that will allow Denver to play exciting offensive basketball. Yes, the Nuggets have lost Cameron Johnson, Christian Braun, and Aaron Gordon due to injury, but there are players who can replace them. Bet? Absolutely!

Thanks @john_entony for the tip too
this should have been way easier as the Nuggets had (IIRC) a 16 points lead in the 4th Q, but the Ant-Man went 'crazy'(especially that 3 to send the game in OT- what a tough shot- it made me think of Kobe...),still even if the bet was lost I would have been OK with it as this was probably the best/most entertaining NBA game I've watched in the last like 10 years... that Joker man... 56/16/15 - 1st 50pts+, 15reb+, 15ast+ in NBA history and a record scored by any player in over-time* 18pts and the Nuggets started to score with like under 3 mins left in OT... just WOWKeep up the great work here everyone and GLGL with your bets

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls: Philadelphia 76ers (- 1.5) /// 1.90
Last bet won. Yes, exactly such a game should have been my 200th winning NBA prediction. I agree with @BillyR23 that it was the most spectacular game of the season! Nikola Jokic? He was cooking. Yes, this is his season high and an incredible performance. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 200-213 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 8-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Philadelphia 76ers on the road will beat Chicago Bulls by 2 points or more. There is a very interesting statistic concerning Philadelphia's games this season. The point is that after a losing game, the 76ers have beaten their opponents in 7 out of 9 games. Chicago plays very unsuccessfully at home against Philadelphia (only 2 wins in the last 10 games). I think the 76ers can bring us some money. Bet? Absolutely!

Denver Nuggets @ Orlando Magic: Denver Nuggets (- 2.5) /// 1.71
Last bet lost. Last night, Kyiv was shelled, and my area suffered more than other parts of Kyiv. My electricity came back about 30 minutes ago. Yes, I didn't watch the game between Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers for obvious reasons. But, it seems, Philadelphia's bench completely failed. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 200-214 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 8-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Denver Nuggets on the road will beat Orlando Magic by 3 points or more. In short, the teams are on completely different levels, and Denver is much stronger. In addition, Orlando has a lot of injured players: Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Moritz Wagner, Goga Bitadze, and Colin Castleton. Denver will also be without Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, and Cameron Johnson, but we saw how balanced the Nuggets' roster looked against Minnesota's optimal roster. Bet? Absolutely!

Detroit Pistons @ Los Angeles Clippers: Detroit Pistons (- 1.5) /// 1.70
Last bet lost. Traditionally, the team I bet on loses in the 4th quarter. Moreover, Denver was winning 17 points during the 3rd quarter. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 200-215 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 8-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Detroit Pistons on the road will beat Los Angeles Clippers by 2 points or more. Detroit will have a fully healthy roster. The Clippers will be without Ivica Zubac, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Cam Christie is questionable. Yes, the Clippers have 3 consecutive wins in the regular season, but I still don't believe in the stability of this team because of their weak bench (perhaps one of the weakest in the League). Bet? Sure!
