Today's game Dallas +5 vs Nuggets -5

The Dallas Mavericks still have to figure out how to win and against the top team in the NBA, I think they will have some trouble here.
Denver has not covering it's previous games when playing on the road, their last 3 road games resulted to a loss but I'll go with the trend this time, the line was up 1 point and I'll consider that as a good indicator.

Pick :   Nuggets -5

Still have time to catch this up from the live bets, close fight coming this second half, hoping that Nuggets will comes up strong coming this third
period and make a good run to have comfortable lead,  Luka is out right? lets see if how nuggets will grab this opportunity and bring home the win.

Will wait for another half and see the result, Good luck.

Oh, I'll have to sit this one out, I only just got to see this. However, Good luck everyone who were able to place a bet!

Congratulations to you and to OP, they beat the Dallas in the 3rd quarter and that gives them a comfortable lead entering the 4th quarter.
After a loss yesterday, he's back on the winning track and I will start to fade him since It's my first time seeing this thread.

Luka did not play, his is a good steal because the line was -4 but when Luka was out, it went up to -7.
Still it's easy because it was a double digit win by the Nuggets.

[Distinctin]

Nuggets did not have a good start but they were able to pull a win in this game.
Congrats everyone who tail on the pick today.
Denver did a great job against an undermanned team, with a balance scoring they are very successful, 7 players scored double digits.

[stadus]

Tomorrow's game - PHI 76ers -2 vs Portland TrailBlazers +2

This is an early game so I'm giving it now, it's the first game actually based on schedule.
Embiid still will sit on this game but I think as long as they can defend the paint and abuse the paint, the 76ers will win this game.

Boban Marjanovic is fitting well, he had a double double last game, so no Embiid  should be no problem with them.


Pick :   PHI 76ers -2

Yeah. It helped out the nuggets Luka doncic didnt play in the game due to soreness in his knee or something but he was in street clothes on the sidelines to watch the game.
If I knew this I wouldnt have bet on the over on points like I usually do for nuggets and mavs games when they play against each other.
Good call stadus on this and the winning starts again.

Pick :   PHI 76ers -2

This early game loss, the Blazers had improved a lot with the addition of Enes Kanter and he scored tonight 16 points in just 20 minutes.
I like The Blazers team now, they added a big man who can score and defend.
This is bad for the 76ers, they got outrebounded (53-33) , Blazers has 19 offensive rebound, they really need Joel in games like this.

It is so very strange the absent of only player can impact a team like this. From being hopeful playoff contenders to dropping games so easily. This wont be good if they actually do make it through to the conference and if Embiid is injured in game 1 then what?
In their last game they almost lost to the heat.
I remember watching it and saying they will lose it because of the way they were playing which was very poor. Missing alot of three pointers which the players who usually hit them just werent.

Yeah right, Blazers really improved look at their stats its really well balance, no need for Lilard and Mccollum to stand and lift the entire team,
the addition of Kanter together with Nurkic playing strong, the team can push their journey to playoffs just let them to perform and surely
they will gather a lots of supports from the fans.

Moving on with the this loss, Embiid really have a big impact with 76ers, without him the dominance inside is not working for them, they need
more from Boban while Embiid is still resting.

Anyone following the trend of upset today ? Clearly so many match favorites lost their games today starting from the

New Orleans Pelicans with ~ 3.04 odds winning against the Lakers score: 128 - 115 = 13
Miami Heat defeated by Detroit Pistons ~ 2.46 Odds score: 96 -119 = -23
Chicago Bulls defeated Boston Celtics @ ~ 5.30 Odds score: 126 - 116 = 10
Okhlahoma City Thunder lost to Sacremento Kings @ ~ 3.04 Odds    score: 116 - 119 = - 3
Golden State Warriors lost to Houston Rockets @ 6.85 score: 112 - 118 = -6

What caught my attention was that I found a lot of odds for the favorites of today games to quite absurdly low, So, I did went in with the Rockets against GSW, after seeing how GSW struggled against the Kings in their last game where GSW won by a difference of 2 points. The line for this game as of when I wanted to place the bet was a,t I think, 16 or thereabout I'm not too sure but it was definitely greater than 13.5

I found Rockets +10 @ 1.78 to be a steal, so I went in pretty hard on that one, I also had the Rockets to win ML @ ~ 6.85 and here we are, indeed the Rockets just won the game with a 6 points difference 112 - 118.

Could there be an odd explanation to these teams losing with an average of 11 points, or It is all just coincidental ? I hope it's the latter, really.

Not really because it seems on any given day one of the favorites or most of them can lose their games even playing on home court.
I had atlanta to win and they did against the suns which was no surprise and also had the pacers to beat the wizards on their home court which was not a surprise either.
I think you just need to know which team to pick in which match up to come away with solid wins.
Just like the OP in this thread tends to have. But we all have bad days some times.
Congrats on your win which takes a brave man to do it against the warriors.
But the rockets did win all four of their meetings this season which was a surprise to me to hear this stat at the end of the game.
Houston does have their ticket and if they meet in the playoffs it might be a match up to behold as they can be beat up by this team. Even without their star player harden tonight.

That's intrigues me, the odds seems to be fair for handicapped knowing that Harden will not be able to play, but this win against the Warriors
in front of their own fans again, that really ridiculous, but by watching, it's all about how chris paul design the game and make every
ways to dominate the entire game.

Like what you have said, we do have bad moments, we just need to keep moving forward and move on..

Probably coincidental. You also have to remember that we are going closer to playoffs. Teams specially those low ranked are fighting for a playoffs spot so they need to elevate their games that's why upset will happen. Just watch for next month, I'm sure that there will be more upsets in the making.

Also with teams saving their players to keep them healthy for the playoff push.
Just like the dallas mavericks did with doncic sitting him the other night against the denver nuggets.
If they didnt I would of won my bet on the over because I was only down by 6 points and luka could of easily brought up the score cause the mavs shooting just sucked without him and they got beat up by denver at home.
Just because of this lost 19mbtc on this single match bet I made.

Ouch,  . You can still recover that lost man.  I also remember if I'm not mistaken, March was one of the worst for Cavs with Lebron and Kyrie still playing, maybe its 2016-2017 because they've lost so much game in that month alone, but still they marches on the playoffs and the rest is history. Again, there could be a lot of unexpected win/loss for top seed now and it's more difficult to handicap. But I'm sure stadus knows about it and will adjust his tips for us.

This season is far from over, there's still a lot of betting opportunity, just properly manage your bankroll so you can enjoy the whole season.
There are nights that we loss also but we should be more aggressive and keep thinking positively because it's possible to win in sports gambling.
Watch carefully the amount we bet, it's better if we follow the suggested amount per bet based on our bankroll, and that's 1% to 5% per bet only.

Perhaps, I was just paying to much attention to the odds, I guess.

Yeah right, I'd watch out attentively 

Also with teams saving their players to keep them healthy for the playoff push.

Damn! right, I guess "reasonable" risks would be worth taking henceforth, If continues to be the trending strategy, Sorry for your loss mate, better days lies just ahead!

Tomorrow's game - Raptors -9 vs Magic +9

I'm going with the dog this time, Toronto has been winning games at home but their biggest win was only 9 points.
They are a better team now but I guess the Magic will like this challenge, let's not underestimate the Magic as they are also 7-3 in their last 3 games.


Pick :   Magic +9

Pick :   Magic +9

Indeed, I agree! Orlando Magic shouldn't underestimated, they've been playing well recently and could pull yet another stunner today like they did against the Bucks a few weeks ago, I'll definitely tail this! I also think Raptors are also due for a loss, and could happen anytime soon, tonight ? perhaps.

Goodluck to everyone tailing!

Left the game when Orlando was leading by 20 points with 2:36 to go. It looks like they covered the spread and well over with a 113 - 98 final score which is -15 for them. Terrence ross was the savior for the magic with a game high 28. And a perfect 7/7 free throws. Didnt know he was a former raptor. From the looks of this game they should of kept him.
I had to look back at Stadus pick and actually thought he had -9 for them for some reason which if it was that kind of pick he would of had astounding odds to wager on.
I had the over for Orlando on points as I normally bet for on my picks. Which they did easily for the 102.5 for 1.65x odds and should of went with my gut feeling and picked the 108.5 for 2.20x.
