NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Harkorede]

Wow. Another lost. Not a funny loss but I am laughing, I might be crazy. 

Had the right prediction on who will win but the spread was not covered. Lacking 1 more point for both the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The sad part about the Miami bet is I think that the lowest spread @1.57 only and the next is ML which is not that rewarding for a win.
My Bucks bet though, it's my fault for being greedy. That -10.5 if I remember it right is the max on spreads option.

Chasing my losses for the Golden State Warriors -3.5. Let's go Warriors!

Damn!

Those are the toughest kind of losses to swallow, especially when you have to lose two bets to such margin in just one night... I might have fooled myself by hoping for a very low scoring game between Toronto Raptors and Warriors, 125 points combined in just the first half of the game alone, it's either a lower scoring 2nd half or I'd be handed my L's by the bookies tonight

I got the same feeling yesterday, it was a funny mixed emotion, when all bet was lost, it was a very close game yet it didn't cover the spread and the funny thing is I really enjoyed the feeling of betting while watching the game live it gives you an adrenalin rush that you might win at the same time it can also end up in a loss I had the correct prediction and the odds are on my side, checking the injured players and all but still it was not enough that is why I had to take a break from betting today, because it was not a natural good feeling,


I really enjoyed watching the game TORONTO RAPTORS VS  GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS game it was exhilarating to watch, and I admit that Fred VanFleet is really great at shooting passing stealing you name it and he transitions his game even more, right now he is the elite shooting three's for the Raptors and I think that he would transition well in every team that he make a trade, and with Pascal Siakam I think that the Raptors is a formidable opponent but watching the game the Golden State Warriors have eliminated that Three's for VanFleet because most of the players from the Warriors team are shooting Three's that have increased their lead against the Warriors Jonathan Kuminga, have increased his percentage on shooting three's Donte DiVincenzo is a real great addition for the Warriors he's got the right decision making in passing the ball or shooting it himself, while Klay Thompson was really back on track and not slouching anymore,

That happening in one game is still ok, but making it happen twice? I just hope that you're ok JK

I've also experienced that one many times already, but not the same as you. It happened to me twice in 2 consecutive days. I also felt regret at that time because I felt that I'm too greedy enough. Anyway, you will move on from that after a few hours to days.
Grizzlies are now on a 5-game losing streak after winning 11 games. I just hope that the "dynasty" are still ok. They lost double digits to a team who had the worst trade in NBA history (at least for me).

Whatever team will get Vanvleet if he opt out after this season and choose to be a unrestricted free agent by summer will be a huge boost for the whole team. I mean I agree with what you said. From an undrafted player (highest paid undrafted player), to now one of the top scorers of the Raptors and also top 10 in steals this season. There are some rumors saying that Vanvleet might opt out and will be a UFA after this season.

In addition to that, splash brothers doing splash brothers thing on this game. Curry and Thompson combined for 64 points on 10/22 3pt shooting. Poole only scored 9 points on this one, but 6 players in double digits are enough for the team to get the victory at home.

Look, I confess, this type of loss no one would like to own lol
Well, at least the Warriors got a win against the Raptors.

I also did badly in the OKC v Cavs game. Even playing away from home, the Cavaliers have proven to be an interesting team to bet on, but unfortunately, in this case, they lost to OKC.

I hope I can recover my losses as soon as possible

I agree, but I can not say that the Toronto Raptors are not good of a team, without VanVleet, they still have Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa, OG Anunoby(Injured) Gary Trent Jr., and now Otto Porter Jr. that could be paired with Fred VanVleet in terms of defense and steals but at the moment Porter Jr. is out of season right now,


Now here are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.56 for the 76ers and 2.50 for the Nuggets, right now Joel Embiid is questionable if he's going to play but will surely check this out, while Collin Gillespie and Jack White can not play for the Nuggets, and Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Bruce Brown, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Nikola Jokic are all questionable for the Nuggets if they can play, well this is the 1st time this two teams will face each other this season, for me that is way many questionable for the Nuggets and we don't know if those players will play their 100% even though they play, so my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Brooklyn Nets VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.83 for the Nets and 2.03 for the Knicks, Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, and Ben Simmons, Day'Ron Sharpe, Edmond Sumner, and T.J. Warren are all questionable if they can play for the Nets, while for the Knicks they got Mitchell Robinson that has an injury and can not play for the Knicks, for this game even without Kevin Durant I am really rooting for the Nets so my pick will be the Nets,

Orlando Magic VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 2.19 for the Magic and 1.71 for the Bulls, right now Chuma Okeke, and Jonathan Isaac can not play for the Magic Kevon Harris is questionable while Marko Simonovic, Marko Simonovic, and Lonzo Ball can not play for the Bulls, Goran Dragic is questionable if he can play for the Bulls, for this game I am much leading to the Bulls and because DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine can still play I think my pick is the Chicago Bulls,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Pelicans and 2.55 for the Wizards, right now Dyson Daniels, E.J. Liddell, and Zion Williamson can not play for the New Orleans Pelicans, while Kristaps Porzingis is questionable if he can play for the Wizards, for me because Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are going to play for the team, even though Ingram looks rusty in his return game I think against the Wizards he will be ready, so my pick will be the New Orleans Pelicans,

You bet it is. It's better if the team I bet for wins and I am lacking 3-5 points in the spread than just 1 point. You will feel the heartache far worst with a point missing. This is actually the first time 2 of my bets had the same result as that.

That happening in one game is still ok, but making it happen twice? I just hope that you're ok JK

I am still fine but the rope is near me in case that happens again.  Just kidding. It feels bad but I always look forward for tomorrow bets.

Look, I confess, this type of loss no one would like to own lol
Well, at least the Warriors got a win against the Raptors.

Yeah, that's the good part although I didn't put too much bet for the Warriors to equal the losses that happened today on those three early loss bets.
I chase losses but not to the extent that it would double the amount of losses in case it goes South.

edit; five t'wolves players finished with 2+ steals, ant - zero, you gotta be kidding me...

Took this kind of bet too at their previous game against the Pelicans and upon looking at the stats he is the one who can steal more often than other players. I am also surprised that he will be the one breaking my long parlay and Walker Kessler who only made 1 block on that day. Sorry for your loss.

[Ziskinberg]

I hope I can recover my losses as soon as possible

Just take it easy, you can't win everyday, what you need is the right discipline and to continue learning from your mistakes.

With that said, just continue betting as we have plenty of games later, 11 games to be exact.
I'm thinking of betting on the following teams with their betting spread.

Jazz -7.5
Boston -8
Wolves ML

Too bad mate, but for sure this is not the first time that you have experience it, so not gonna be as painful as the first time.

The bad part is that the Bucks is leading throughout the game with huge numbers but they lead the Pacers make a comeback in the 3rd and then in the last quarter cutting the lead into single digit.

In any case, you have chased your losses with that Warriors win, so still good.

He still has a profitable day because he chased his losses and won on the Warriors' bet. Sometimes, the martingale strategy is very effective in sports, especially in NBA which we are very familiar with, but we also need to use a little discipline so it will not result in a wipeout of our bankroll.

I was also hesitant to bet on the Warriors because I'm sure everyone was betting on them, but that time it was the public who won the game, and I'm glad it happen because the Warriors really need a win.

It seems that the bookies had a beautiful day because I bet there are a lot more bettors out there who also put some of their funds on the stated teams. It was quite a game and yes, those scores are really tough to swallow because you could've won that bet if it's not because of the .5 handicap left to cover.

Anyway, anyone interested about the Lakers vs Celtics match-up tomorrow? The Celtics has been listed as a -7.5 favorite over the Lakers, this will be a nice game to watch and bet live as AD is also back on the floor. Also, is it possible that LeBron will pass Kareem's scoring title tomorrow, or not?

And again, you really have to appreciate how great those handicappers though, hehehe, because our bet will be just off by a point.

Anyhow, 2/4 for me, its good that the Warriors and OKC won their game, Warriors covering the handicap and the OKC with my ML.

Congrats as well to @danherbias07 for chasing his early losses. Still not that bad.

Good thing that the Warriors give him that win and cut or maybe give him a break-even with his early losses, Warriors
comes out very strong and really eager to win the game.

The splash bro once again shows how the best duo works, a good showcase of good chemistry
between two superstars who understand well how to work together in bringing the win for the team.

They sure had a profitable day on those favorites that went down.
As I go thru the chat in Stake.com, I think most of the gamblers are chasing their losses in the Warriors game. One of the bet was 15 points for Klay Thompson and over 2.5 three points made for Steph with a whooping 0.038BTC @1.4+, rewards was at 0.05BTC+ I bet he is having beers after the game.

Interesting. Boston Celtics are on a third losing streak and the Lakers expect Lebron to overtake Kareen. I don't want to be part of risking a bet at early games so I am going live betting for this game. -10.5 seems too much considering AD is back.

And again, you really have to appreciate how great those handicappers though, hehehe, because our bet will be just off by a point.

Correct. This is where you really have to think about how good they at predicting games because sometimes it really happens like they can see the future.

Anyhow, 2/4 for me, its good that the Warriors and OKC won their game, Warriors covering the handicap and the OKC with my ML.

Congrats as well to @danherbias07 for chasing his early losses. Still not that bad.

Thanks, and congratulations on your split too. 2/4 is good and risking for OKC is a brave bet considering their inconsistent win and loss.

11 games later. Wow! It makes you drool for a long parlay.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets - no bet yet, will try to do it before the game. Nuggets had so much listed in the probable status.
Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks - Brooklyn Nets (-1.5) Knicks won their 2 games, they should rest. Give this one to the Nets. 
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-1.5) - Healthy Kings. Adding the Over 236.5 This could go 250+ in my own prediction.

[wheelz1200]

Lots of games on the docket tonight have some early ones in.

Knicks on the road +2 against the Nets.  Almost like a home game and knicks owe the Nets a good beating

Timberwolves at home +2 against kings.

Lakers +9 against the Celtics.  Prime time game on ABC and AD coming back.  I might actually take the Lakers ML here at these odds.

Jazz -7.5 at home against Dallas with no Luka.  Dallas sukcs without Luka thos should be an easy win for jazz.

Try and have some parlay if you'd like my friend for me, I'll just deal with a single bets so that my other bets won't be destroyed incase one of them will be having an unfortunate scenarios, just like what happened with the Mavs recently where Luka had an early exit. Fortunately, Spencer Dinwiddie was there to the rescue.

Let me tail you with the Kings and Nets mate, I'll try and watch the Sixers vs Nuggets live as it's still too risky for now because just like as you've said, Nuggets have listed so many important players as questionable/probable.

And I'll throw a few towards the Lakers vs Celtics game : Lakers ML @ 3.90

[jakelyson]

Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers (27-24) will visit the Atlanta Hawks (25-24) tonight at State Farm Arena.
Clippers key injuries: Robert Covington (personal) out, John Wall (abdominal soreness) out

The Minnesota Timberwolves (26-25) will host the visiting Sacramento Kings (27-20) tonight at Target Center. The Timberwolves are looking to extend their home winning streak.
Grizzlies key injuries: Danny Green out, Steven Adams out, John Konchar out, Kenneth Lofton Jr out, Desmond Bane questionable
Timberwolves key injuries: Karl-Anthony Towns out, Taurean Prince out, Matt Ryan out, Jordan McLaughlin out

San Antonio Spurs vs Phoenix Suns

The San Antonio Spurs (14-35) will host the visiting Phoenix Suns (25-25) tonight at AT&T Center. The Spurs are currently at a four-game losing skid and would try to win this game at home against the Suns.

Base on your bets, you won 2 out of the 4 bets that you've made. Hope you made money from it .\

New Orleans Pelicans vs Washington Wizards

The New Orleans Pelicans (26-23) will host the Washington Wizards (22-26) tonight at Smoothie King Center. The Pelicans are in their 6-game losing skid and would try to end it against the Timberwolves.

Now the losing streak continues into 7 as they again lost to the Wizards by 10 points.

They aren't performing well when Zion wasn't playing for the team and now from them being the top seeded team, they are now at the 5th seed. On the other hand, the opposing team will be having a hard time to stop you when you're team's offense is being distributed. That is how the Wizards played tonight on the road. 7 of the 9 players played are in double figures and the 2 remaining almost has it as well as they scored 8 and 9 points. Looks like the acquisition of Kendrick Nunn is a win for the team as he is playing well in his last 2 games there.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Sacramento Kings

The Minnesota Timberwolves (26-25) will host the visiting Sacramento Kings (27-20) tonight at Target Center. The Timberwolves are looking to extend their home winning streak.

Looks like the streak is extended because they won against the Kings.
Now they are at the 8th seeded team with 8.5 games below the top seeded Nuggets.

One game above 500, the Timberwolves are playing well even without KAT. Edwards lead the way with a 34 point double-double and Gobert has his own double-double as well.

I was afraid this bet will lose but I thought they will be able to break their losing skid since they are at home. They have McCollum and Ingram playing so they could carry the weight, but I guess it was not enough to beat the Wizards. They actually fallen to the 6th spot right now, behind the Mavs.

[wheelz1200]

Not going to lie tonight hurt.  Had the Lakers money line here and withthe game tied refs missed probably the worst missed call of the year.  Bron going in for a layup got hammered on the forearm by Tatum and no call.  In ot took the loss.  Brutal one but that's basketball right

There is no doubt that the ref are messing too much of the game, its not the only call the messed up, the problem is that the NBA cannot do anything about it because of the ref union, and the bad thing is that they are protecting the refs even when they are wrong, because they can stop the season by not officiating so, there could be a reality of the ref fixing the game, since they can't be punish by the NBA , the result is devastating, for players and also the fans, imagine, that is a clear foul, even a monkey can't missed that call, too bad its been happening now more often and when a player comment they will be fine, while the culprit is there, still walking free.
