For tomorrow.....

Bucks > Nuggets
Celtics > Spurs
Bulls -6.5 > Magic
Hawks > Grizzlies

Better night. 3/4. Celtics fell short after having a bad first quarter.

For Saturday,

Suns > Nets, O220.5

Hawks -4.5 > Knicks

76ers -4 > Timberwolves

Hawks -4.5 > Knicks

76ers -4 > Timberwolves

1/4. The Suns win but the game was 1 point shy of the total points bet. Nets and Suns became allergic to scoring points late in the 4th.

The rest of the games were a bit weird, but sometimes there are nights like this.

For tomorrow..

Warriors are the slight favourite against the Clippers. I don't think this will be a close contest and I will place a few bets on the Warriors.

O215.5, Warriors >, Warriors - 5.5 > Clippers

Bucks - 2.5 > Pacers

Celtics + 2.5 > Raptors

As expected, Clippers were no match for the Warriors. But the scoring was anaemic. Otherwise the rest went as expected.

4/5

I'm going to take a break from posting until a few of you folks return here. It's getting pretty boring just posting on my own here.

Monday NBA:

Minnesota - Indiana (Minnesota (Match Winner) 1.66)

Houston v Oklahoma City (Houston (Match Winner) 1.70)

Chicago - Charlotte (Less than 222.5 (Score 222.5) 1.93)

 

[vladikov]

tonight I expect Charlotte and Indiana to win their matches with Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberuves

 

[puzzlefish]

I'm betting on the Spurs, Cavs, and Pelicans + 7.5 tonight. Small bets. Spurs bet is a free bet. All risky bets for small amounts.

I think I may have found an edge with predicting the Heat games. It seems they are randomly not playing Butler and whenever they don't, the Heat plays terribly.. will try to use this next time. You can't really know until the game starts and I think the bet makers are slow to adjust the odds.

The bets are doing well tonight. Maybe Clippers might close out the gap? If not, it will be 3/3.

Edit: 3/3 confirmed

Chicago - Charlotte (Less than 222.5 (Score 222.5) 1.93)

2/3 succeeded
Chicago pushed the points a little too far, it would have been better to bet on the winner of the match.

Today I'm just trying to score a tip:
Brooklyn - New York (Less than 213.5 (Score 213.5) 2.01)

Renovation

How will players renew after some legends like james lebrom retire?

Tonight,

I am betting on the Pelican'ts, who have been playing more and more like the Pelicans. Mavericks have been playing worse. Really hoping Mavs are not some kind of silver bullet to the Pelicans.

Pelicans > Mavericks,
Pelicans + 3.5 > Mavericks

For Bucks and Hornets, the Bucks will surely win but the odds are not good to bet on. Instead, I think the points will be lower than the consensus.

Bucks, Hornets U230.5

Cavs may upset the Heat but I want to see if Butler is in or not. Game time bet.

Hawks missing a few key players, but hard to say who will win. I expect a lower scoring game.

Hawks, Pacers U218.5

Finally I think it is a fair bet that the Magic will get thrashed by Nuggets.

Nuggets -7.5 > Magic

This is the worst one yet. 0/5 and I missed the Cavs vs Heat game.

 

[puzzlefish]

Bets are getting difficult now in the NBA. Very inconsistent performances from teams and difficult spreads to predict.

Tonight,

Kings > Clippers @2.0
I don't know why the Clippers are the favourites here. They do have Ibaka back but they are playing with no rest and have to travel. They lost to the Kings last time earlier this week and the Clippers were at home then. I will take the Kings here.

Bucks, Heat U215.5
Injuries to key scoring players on both sides. Both have more defensive power now and less offense, so I think it is more likely that this will be a lower scoring game.

I really don't like any of the other games. Too many injuries and roster juggling going on.

 

[ADRI7HO]

Monday's NBA:

Indiana v Washington (Indiana (Match Winner) 1.41)

Chicago v Denver (Chicago (Match Winner) 1.49)

Phoenix v San Antonio (Phoenix (Match Winner) 1.28)

 

[puzzlefish]

Tonight,

Suns are without Booker. Spurs have played well in their last four. Suns just got finished getting thrashed by the Warriors.

Spurs + 7.5 > Suns

Warriors play the Magic, who have been more competitive recently despite all their injuries. Maybe that should tell them something...? Despite this there is a 16 point spread. I don't think the Magic are going to get decimated that badly here and the spread is disrespectful.

Magic + 16 > Warriors

Bucks are going to play the Cavaliers. Bucks are probably not going to have Giannis, since it doesn't make sense to put his calf injury at risk against a weak team. Bucks play well enough without him anyway. It's a game time bet, but if Giannis isn't playing I would go with Cavs + 6.5 > Bucks

 

[puzzlefish]

Celtics > Lakers O219.5
Spurs > Knicks O211.5
Nets - 4 > Mavericks U218.5

 

[puzzlefish]

Bigger bets tonight,

Nets > Rockets

Nets -3.5 > Rockets

Nuggets > Pelicans

Bucks -6 > Heat

Bigger bets tonight,

Nets > Rockets

Nets -3.5 > Rockets

Nuggets > Pelicans

Bucks -6 > Heat

Typical NBA fashion, Nets pull KD and get beaten by the Rockets, Bucks choke, and Nuggets barely get there in OT. Time to take a break and get some better angles.

I am experimenting with a different way of betting using bet builders and studying the bet feeds for tips. Tonight I went with a few of them and have done pretty well. This one is probably the best of them all for tonight.

 

[ADRI7HO]

NBA Monday:
LA Clippers v Phoenix (Phoenix (Match Winner) 1.61)

I expect a tight Suns victory, maybe the total score will be below 210.

 

[puzzlefish]

A treble 76ers, Hawks, and Warriors @ 2.89 for me.

Doing some more lazy shopping in the bet feeds as well, will post some more if I see anything good.

76ers going into the match: we have no injuries to report

Also 76ers at gametime: by the way we aren't starting our main two players

 

[ADRI7HO]

Three caution tips for Tuesday:

New York - Golden State (Less than 214.5 (Score 214.5) 1.61)

Brooklyn v Toronto (Brooklyn (Match Winner) 1.20)

Portland v Phoenix (Over 106.5 (Home team - Score 106.5) 1.63)

Yesterday’s Suns match didn’t turn out the way I thought, which is why Portland may be able to throw them at least 107 points today.

 

[puzzlefish]

I'll watch Raptors vs. Nets. If Durant isn't starting, the Nets will lose.
