NBA 2023-2024 betting

Lakers! You are making me angry.  I really thought this day will be "it" the winning part but it failed again. Moving on....

Going for a parlay again. Knicks, Nuggets, and Jazz. All three team have low profits so I just bundled them considering a high chance to win. It's only @2.83 and I am hoping this time I will get it right. I cannot use the "its only preseason" card anymore because I am in a bad losing streak already. That Lakers team made my blood boil.

lol. calm down man, preseason games are really unpredictable, just don't put too much bet on the game, I suggest you go with the underdog as they have a good chance in the playoffs than in the regular season. I almost won my x100 odds bet yesterday if only the Wizards won in the 1st half. I had a parlay bet on wiz/raptors + Lakers/GSW (1st half/full time) bet.

Next opponent for the Lakers are the Golden State Warriors again. 

They will rest today and they will play tomorrow. I would not bet on the Lakers or the Warriors, it's hard to tell if they will play seriously or not, so it doesn't give sense to whatever our analysis would be in this game. Maybe let's wait until the Lakers will start winning then that's the time we will start betting on this team.

Well, that is the fact that simply bettors need to see and I think you are great in seeing this, but this is the preseason, players would surely ignore a win and will not perform well, or teams will surely save a player from getting injured, but I have bet for GSW for this match, just because I am a fan,

And we already know who won the game, 99 - 111 was the score, and GSW win this preseason match, and just like I am saying even though some team is saving players from getting injured in Preseason, so Stephen Curry and Draymond Green sit out the game while LeBron James and other notable players from the Lakers have played the game, although I think Lakers is really not that serious in their team play.

It's a good sign that the Warriors are stronger this season, and lucky for those who take the Warriors to win as they are +7.5 in this game and for sure that Moneyline bet is good enough to enjoy. I hope people will not create a story regarding the struggle of the Lakers, this is just preseason, they can always make a statement that they don't take it seriously.

Tomorrow we have Bucks vs Jazz, this is a good match, what's the majorities pick on this game?

Well, teams would surely say anything that they want regarding what happened in a game if they win or lose it will surely reflect on them, and with their performance, it will surely reflect on the odds as well, it can also be part of their strategy losing on purpose so the opposing team would think that they really won that match, but unknowingly the opposing team really did it on purpose so they will not show their ace in their hands,

But regarding this, some teams may surely just reasoning that it is just preseason and they are not feeling like they really don't taking the game seriously and did that on purpose, well we can never really know.

Less than a week to the Regular Season, I really can't wait the at least I can have something really worthwhile during weeks like this in football (International Break).

I'll be making my first bets since the Pre-Season started, It's going to be on the Dallas Mavericks and Pacers, I'm having both teams to win their respective games at halftime for @ 2.28 Odds.

That's my calm mode if I can still write. I am not really putting much bet but when summed up, it becomes itchy in my wallet. 
Nuggets lose, lucky for those who took the bet for OKC. I think it was @2 or 3+ last night when I input my bet. @1.28 for the Nuggets.

Cheers bro. You started with a bang. I wish we are at the same timeline so I could follow your bets. I bet early because of chances that I might not see the early games like your pick and not have a chance to bet for it. Nice win.

You can always put an alarm and wake up to put your bet, if tailing would result in a win, I would not mind waking up even at dawn just to increase my chance of winning, lol. Anyway, are you still hunting a win on the Lakers? We have LA Lakers vs Sacramento Kings tomorrow, yes or no?

I don't think that taking the halftime odds make any sense.

You can't really predict results of that in any meaningful way - it's pretty much rolling a dice on 2x odds but with really bad house edge.

But I completely agree with the excitement around the start of the regular season. It's going to be very fun, especially with all the Lakers legends now on the same team.

Everything that you'll see on the gambling sites makes sense, that odds offered have a corresponding price, and if you guess it right, you will be the winner.  Besides, even if you take the odds like 1.05, there's still no guarantee that you will win, so just take the risk based on what you believe.

Yes, that exactly my opinion too.. We all at the end are just taking risks based on whatever we believe or the perspectives we have about each match, and the odds most definitely, no matter how little, are never a guarantor of what will be the result of any game.

I lost my bet last night, but I somewhat love the feeling of having some money on the line for a NBA match.

That's normal in betting, you don't win all the time but the most important is you win more than you lose. Gambling could be a business if you know how to treat it, sports betting is a skilled-based type of gambling, we learn from our mistakes and we improve to achieve our aim to be making consistent profit in the long run.

High odds gives additional fun but as a better, our focus is on the bet that has a bigger chance of winning and the odds are reasonable.

Well, In my opinion not all can treat gambling as a business, maybe you can surely go on your way and can turn your winnings and losing around gambling but not all people have the skill in doing it, not a proper training as well, pretty sure anything can happen in a game, fight, and any team can beat the other and that is how is good gambling is you can never be 100% sure, there is a certain risk in it, but I think you can not still treat this as a business kind of thing,

And higher odd can sure has a huge percentage in winning, but as I have said you can never know the real result until the game ends, my take in higher odds, there is a bigger percentage in winning the small the profit you can get, but the bigger the risk or the smaller the odds is, the bigger the profit you can get, but I really can't recommend that either.

You have that good point. If luck is not on your side even as low as 1.01, you still have that .01 to lose.

Every odd that you take as long as you believe in it to win, the chance is always there.
No one can accurately guess the right outcome, aside from those who are involved with fixed games.

If that kind of bet really exists, rumors though, and no one knows if it's true,
They might be the one who have that high chance to win..

Bro sorry, I thought it was for the whole game. I didn't see that "halftime" word at the last part of the sentence. My bad.

We have LA Lakers vs Sacramento Kings tomorrow, yes or no?

No. I think I am done with them. But, why do I get the feeling that they will win when I say that?!

Truth. Just like how Denver Nuggets lose against a weak OKC. The odds is at 1.28 only and it's like an assurance for a higher chance of win and yet they still fail.
Preseason is just too unpredictable and I guess the right choice will be to bet for a weaker team that will put efforts in it.
Someone said that here, I just remembered.

[Harkorede]

I'm going against the Odds tonight, I'm backing the Miami Heat against Atalanta Hawks, Heat have won all but one of their preseason games so far while Hawks have lost two and won their last match, The odds is 5.55 for Miami Heat and I could care less about who or doesn't play tonight.  I'm just going to some bucks the Heats way.

If you really want to go with Miami today, better take the spread, +11 as of right now... However, i don't think they stand a chance, too many absences overall, their 8 best players are out, and most of Atlanta's guys are available to play. You are asking too much from Strus and the rest of Heat's bench, not to mention that the Heat play one more game the very next day. I won't be surprised if this ends in Atlanta's blowout win.

That Miami Heat's winning streak this pre-season is courtesy of their core stars. The odds provided to them against the Atlanta Hawks clearly indicate that almost the entire of their core will be out of the game and already ruled out (maybe also the same against Boston Celtics on their final pre-season game) but who knows they can still snatch a win.

But regardless of who will play or not for Miami and you will still place a bet for them, then good luck. @5.5 is really an attractive odds.

I wouldn't put too much on whatever anyone did in the preseason.  The Warriors have been undefeated and the Lakers haven't won a game yet, but the Lakers are still going to wipe the floor with them opening day in just 5 shorts days from today. 

We're all betting the Lakers to win that game right?  Sure, they've looked terrible so far, but preseason to veterans isn't exactly something they lose sleep over.  I am so happy it's only 5 more days...  Even though the NBA is turning into a propaganda tool, I absolutely love watching/playing the sport.

Even Lakers are not that performing well in pre-season games, still it doesn't change my mind that they are one of the strong contenders in the West.

Chemistry can be formed along the way and their rotation is not the rotation we will see once the season opened. Carmelo Anthony for example will not be part of the starting lineup. We should not take pre-season games seriously and for me, skipping placing a bet until the season opened.

Same here because preseason is different from the regular season, a team can intentionally not make it seriously just to insure they don't get injured but in the regular season it's a different story. I will observe the Lakers in the regular season, if they'll lose in their first game with a huge margin, then most probably the chemistry problem is real.

[danherbias07]

My first and maybe my last win for the preseason. 

Not trusting my instincts maybe the best decision I ever had in my betting career. 
The Lakers coaching staff forgot about the defense leaving them behind in the first half by the Kings. But, they came back at the second half with some adjustments. It's just not enough for the sizzling hot Kings especially Terence Davis with 20 points and 6 of them comes from behind the arc. Fox on the other hand with his normal stats at 21 points.

[Harkorede]

...

Thanks for the heads up, Even the +11 couldn't have saved the day for me.

It was a complete blowout win for Hawks, and understandably so. I'm just going to sit the rest out until the 19th October, I guess.
