NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Russlenat]

My pick : Boston -1.5

Looking forward for the new pick, you did nail it that the Sixers was really strong at home, I love to follow your next pick.

Like I said, I was really looking forward and I followed your pick, I won my bet in sports betting and I also won in our competition in our local thread.

I am with Luka in this. 

I really though RJ Barrett was born in USA. So he is from Canada. 
First time I dig for that kid about his background but I do followed him in college.
He is one of the great guys in Duke but it is just that Zion was also in the same team.
But I still have the high hopes for him. Somewhere in maybe 2 to 3 years he will bloom and his name will be popular to everyone.

Then there is Brandon Clarke which is also Canadian.

[joshy23]

Looks like the Boston is still playing well without Brown, I watched the first half and they had a very good ball movement, I am expecting a good run in the 2nd half for them, like I said, I think they'll win with a good margin.

This game turns out a good and a competitive game, it went into double OT but the good thing is that you won your pick, so congratulations, you are officially in a 4 winning streak now.

That's amazing having 4 straight now and with how the game ended with 2 over time it's showed how competitive both teams are and how they
wanted to win against each other. Tatum and Smart really played at their best to help winning this game.

RJ Barrett was the Canadian highschool player of the year when he came out of high school and into duke.  He was mocked as the #1 pick by everyone prior to the college season.  Zion was supposed to be good but no one thought he was going to be that good.  That all changed in the preseason Hawaii tourney where he wrecked everyone.  That's when the legend of zion started.  If RJ went to any other college he would be just as well known he was just always second fiddle news to zion though

[morvillz7z]

Who do you got Team USA or Team World?

I placed a small bet on Team USA to win, took the moneyline but really should have gone with the spread instead, roster is just too stacked imo.
I have Trae or Ja winning the MVP even though Zion if favored by the bookies.

My bet for today is U 234.5 on OKC v Pelicans

Obviously lost my bet yesterday but in my defense, OKC was on a 17 game streak (away from home) with total points under 235, last game they had over was November 28th almost three months ago, lol i'm such a party pooper

Yeah, I never knew that. It was just the Duke time where I saw that kid. He was really amazing.
Who knows? Maybe someday he will get that number 1 spot in NBA. That will be more awesome than being the number 1 draft pick.

He does have the figure of being a star. Tall, average body which makes him not much prone to injuries unlike Zion's built.
The kid just needs some upgrades with his shooting skills and also with ball handling.
Well, practice could make him better. It will be a different training now with NBA.

Congratulations. You won!!!

That was a hell of a fun game. Lot of laughter at the first half and specially that Luka Doncic buzzer beater at the half court.
Trae using his signature ball handling skills and then Ja Morant and Zion's dunks. It was awesome.

It could have been a big roar from the audience if Ja had caught that ball when he tries to block RJ. Damn high flying Ja.

[Finestream]

Who bet on Miles Bridges to win the MVP? I miss looking at the odds as I was not betting on this game, but made some search on the its odds and I was surprise that the odds was +1500, so guys are sure so lucky if you ever guess that right.

source of the odds : https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/2020-nba-rising-star-mvp-betting-odds

[morvillz7z]

I've got Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Spencer Dinwiddie to win the Skills Challenge with odds over 4.00, three of the last 4 winners are forwards, time guards take one back, Dinwiddie won in 2018 by the way.

In the 3-Point Contest, i went with Duncan Robinson and Devin Booker (2018 winner) with odds over 4.00 again.
T. Young could be a dark horse here as the competition is slightly changed this year. There are two additional deep balls each giving 3 points. Young likes to shoot from the logo so it could be a huge plus/advantage for him.

As for the Slam Dunk contest i haven't made my mind yet. It's either Gordon or Derrick Jones Jr imo.

Anyone else betting one these^?

[rdbase]

Since stadus is taking a break during the nba all-star weekend, I have a competition for those who are interested in betting on these three categories three pointers, slam dunk and the mvp of the game tomorrow night.
It is here for entry with a prize of 0.0025btc if you get them all right:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223732.msg53837443#msg53837443
The markets are still open as I just checked them on the other site I am hosting the promotion for this one on.
But will probably be closed in about 2 hours from now, so act quick if you want to get in on this.

From the above post, I think I should of had the skills competition winner instead of the all-star mvp selection for this one.

Spencer Dinwiddie didn't get a chance to defend his 2018 title because of an injury, he's got a chance to win it again ? I went with Khris Middleton for that category.

I went with Trae Young for the 3 points contest and I've got Gordon for the slam dunk, If you go otherwise for the slam dunk that means we are going against each other in all categories 

From the above post, I think I should of had the skills competition winner instead of the all-star mvp selection for this one.

Lol, without reading this post, I just voiced the same opinion in the thread.

Yeah. Good minds think alike!
I think I can still select the winner of the skills competition and post it on the thread since I wont be entering in my own contest.

Tonight is night of Contests in All Star Weekend. Personally I don't like new rules of 3 Point contest with new shot zones added and time extended to 70 seconds. I just don't understand why they need to fix things which aren't broken... I would love to see contest with classic rules - 25 balls in 60 seconds.

[Reid]

Who would've thought it will be BAAAMMM! 
Man, they were all good at that skills challenge but he did really shine making those 3 points shots in just 1 or 2 attempts.

Bam you BAAM! 
Trophy goes for his Mom.
Why do players always win it when their goal is for their Mommy?

I did! I guess nobody else thought he would of too since the odds were so juicy at 12.00x.

I just liked the way he moves on the court and he wasnt expected to win in his first appearance in this years skills competition.

Congratulations dude. You just made a lot of money. 

So Aaron Gordon lose against Derrick Jones Jr.
Said in an interview he will be aiming for a 3 point shootout next All-star.

Again being robbed from a dunk contest trophy.
I am sad for him. 4 times 50 pointer dunks should've finished the contest.
They should also look into the previous dunks. This way they will never make a dunk just to enter the next round.
Every dunks should be unique and did at their best.

What a juicy win. Who might taught that Bam will nailed this one, it's a surprise since he outperformed both Dinwiddie and Siakam before facing
Sabonis at the final set. Congrats to you with that high odd pick.

And Sabonis really did quite well.
He put down the defending champion.  

Buddy Hield also made an upset. I really thought it will be Booker at the end. His hands are on freaking fire and then suddenly someone caught fire too.  
Love watching the All-Star while they are having fun. Showing what sports is really meant to be.
Competing while smiling. Wow!

A lot of surprises has happened in the all star so far, now that we are down with one game only which is the most anticipated one, i think there'll be another surprise again on who will win as the All star MVP. let's review the odds here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5225207.0

And a lot of bettors would take Lebron James to win the MVP due to the attractive odds which makes me think that we should stay away from that.

You are correct, Team Lebron win the game but he wasn't the MVP but the man Kawhi, Finally he won and MVP award and he was just too good with his 3 point shooting in this game.
