Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics prediction (Memphis Grizzlies +19.5) @1.75
The Boston Celtics obviously have the ability to blow the doors off here, but they’re also 23-24-2 ATS on the season and just lost to the Lakers without AD and LeBron as 15 point favorites. The Memphis Grizzlies are playing a G League roster at this point, but they’re playing hard and have covered 7 of their last 10 games. Oddsmakers don’t know how to read these Grizzlies because they don’t factor in heart. The Grizzlies are playing hard, as a lot of those guys are fighting for a chance to stay in the league. This line is nuts. Give me the Grizz and the points.
Japan had a 1-0 half-time lead but they didn't show up for the 2nd half and IMO Iran deserved the 2-1 win...BillyR23 said:

GLGL all with your bets and have a great Sunday!
Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Clippers (Los Angeles Clippers -2.5) @1.7
The Clippers are still keeping an eye on Ivica Zubac who is questionable here, while the Heat are still without Duncan Robinson. The Clippers come into this one as one of the hottest teams in the league and they will be full of confidence after avoid a scare against the Pistons in their last outing. The Heat have won their last two games, but they don’t look like themselves just yet and I just don’t think we’re getting enough free points from the bookies here.

Los Angeles Clippers @ Atlanta Hawks: Los Angeles Clippers (- 3) /// 1.85
Last bet won. Well, as I wrote in my prediction, the handicap of (- 17.5) points was already covered by Boston in the first 2 quarters. And that's despite the fact that Jaylen Brown didn't play in this game! However, this injury to Boston's leader was balanced by additional injuries (or is it already tanking?) to Derrick Rose and Santi Aldama. Memphis had no chance with 13 injured players. That's why Boston's 40-point win was logical. Total score of my bets: NBA 43-53 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of successful, NFL+NCAAF 3-7 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Clippers on the road will beat Atlanta by 3 points or more. Today's games are very difficult to predict. That's why I don't see any easy bets (as it was with Boston yesterday). But I still think that even an away back-to-back Clippers won't prevent them from taking the win. Yes, the Hawks have won four games in a row. And they won them deservedly! And their game against Phoenix earned us all good money for a juicy "2.25" odds! But the Clippers are on a different level. And we all remember how the Clippers in the same situation (I mean back-to-back road games) recently destroyed Boston by 19 points! So what's stopping them from doing that against Atlanta? And Atlanta has a very serious injury problems: starting five center Clint Capela will not play, and De'Andre Hunter and Saddiq Bey (as well as deep reserves players Vit Krejci and Mouhamed Gueye) are questionable. The Clippers, on the other hand, have only deep reserve player Moussa Diabate (who is not a rotation player) injured. So we understand that Atlanta has no back-up center, as Onyeka Okongwu will play in the starting five. If the Clippers have won away games this season, it has always been by more than 3 points. So the handicap is playable. Shall we bet? Sure! 😎😉

Really unlucky with this one as the visitors scored a really late goal(90+3 with 4 min of added time...), Real was IMO the better team but unfortunately they weren't 'serious' in trying to score a 2nd goal and got punished for it... sigh, it is what it is, tough 2 bets in a row that could have easily been 'green' were somehow lost...BillyR23 said:

I do not analyse my bettings, I never do, Fella...Fastball said:
I always go with my intuition, sometimes great, sometimes good, sometimes maybe shit.
If you check my bets, this weak I have hit penalties like drinking that morning coffe.
Jude should've scored, but he was busy falling in zone for the penalty. Yesterday was a good night, Fella. The ticket and the Score gave me the pleasure of greatness. Good luck Fella!
The experience from watching/ betting on lots of events is awesome though and most of the times can be even more important than analyzing the events... actually knowing how the players/ teams play from following their events for long periods of time can be considered a form of analyzing too- I mean, similar situation with poker: I have a friend that doesn't study the game but he puts the most volume and he's always beating us in our small home games and we pretty much all agree that he's the better poker player- call it talent or something else but at the end of the day the results matter and it's the same with betting...Babale007 said:
PS. yesterday we were really close to get both bets right but unfortunately the referee gave a penalty after a really weird VAR at FCSB vs. Farul(initially he gave an offensive fault and even after the game nobody understood why he changed the decision into a penalty* it was 90+5 too...FT. 1-1, while the Citizens won 3-1 😎 ); it just seems like ATM I'm a bit unlucky- I need to borrow your intuition for a while @Babale007 🙂 👍

Houston Rockets @ Indiana Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton (> 13.5 points) /// 1.85
Last bet won. Well, this is the game I expected. Atlanta is in great shape right now and in any other game 144 points would certainly be enough to win! But the Clippers were just flawless: only 7 turnovers, 8 steals, 5 blocks and an unreal 60% three-point shooting percentage. But why unrealistic? The Clippers have 3 full-fledged all-stars and each of them has a very high three-point realization this season: PG13 - 41.2%, The Beard - 41.8%, Kawhi - 45.7%! How can you play against them? That's a rhetorical question. My betting scores are NBA 44-53 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of successful, NFL+NCAAF 3-7 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Tyrese Haliburton will score 14 points or more in a game against Houston in front of and with the support of his fans. Yeah, I understand the bookies. Tyrese has only recently returned from injury and there are some issues with his health and right now (his participation in this game is questionable). But 14 points for Haliburton, and even at home? Only in 5 games this season Tyrese Haliburton failed to score 14 points or more. And there's another important thing: Tyrese Haliburton can't play less than 20 minutes. This is important because it's a new NBA rule in the meaning of the MVP award: a player competing for the MVP award cannot play fewer than 65 games in the regular season and must play at least 20 minutes in each of those games. And Tyrese Haliburton is a contender for that award (especially when Joel Embiid lost any chance of being MVP due to injury). Bet? Absolutely! 😎😉
