NBA 2024-2025 betting

[rdbase]

@Harkorede - Well the NCAA March Madness finals are tonight, but instead of animals it's more of a 'Deadliest Warriors' matchup between the Cavaliers and Raiders  

Cavs have muskets and swords, but depending on the era the raiders could be armed with assault rifles for all we know  

Realistically the Cavs are clear favourites - I've gone with Cavs -2.5 (2.11) and Total points: Over 119 (2.02)

As I don't have an alternative match to bet on, I guess I'd follow your pick and tail this.
Good luck to us!;)

It was a hit! and Virginia Cavaliers won eventually, even though the game had to go to overtime.

Thank you 

I had them and the over @3.45x odds for a combined bet but the other match for the chelsea game was done by 1 corner.
Would of won close to 1 eth on the betslip.
Ah well back to the nba as the remaining games are yet to be played this week.

No games today but tomorrow we have a lot games to bet on.

Games that I like to bet are the, Warriors vs NO, and the Rockets vs OKC.

Rockets vs  OKC, this game is like a playoff game, these two teams are already in the playoffs.
With the struggle of the OKC lately they might loss against the Rockets at home, Rockets are surely thinking of revenge also.

I am choosing Rockets at -1.


Warriors vs NO,

Need your input about this game, I like the warriors but I'm afraid the starters will not play.

Glad to be of service, I won a nice little pot on that one! Maybe it's time to give up the social media/community game and become a tipster full time!

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Losing out by one corner is rough, especially with such decent returns 


I already posted my next multi bet in the other NBA thread, but i'll share here too just in case I get lucky again 

- Toronto Raptors -6.0 at (1.81)
- Washington Wizards -5.5 at (1.93)
- Golden State Warriors -6.5 (1.84)

Does anyone know what the heck happened to Boston team? Their best 6 players are announced out and next 2 are doubtful for this match. They barely have enough players to send on the floor and it seems like Washington should kill this game easily. Is this some kind of strategy or what? Indiana is just one game behind and could easily take 4th place if Boston loses tonight.

Nope, they can't. Celtics have the tie-breaker, even if they lose and Pacers win nothing changes. Celtics will keep the 4th seed and home-court advantage in the first round.

I could see their lineup like this: Rozier, J.Brown, Yabusele, Ojeleye, Theis; they might lose but it won't be a blowout, Wizards are just too much of a trash team.

I know Wizards is definitely a trash team but still I think the roster they have available is better than what Boston has right now especially because Boston will have on the second lineup players that have played only a very few games this season and even in those games they got about 5-8 minutes. I think it will depend a lot on how first lineup is going to perform, or probably the second lineup will be happy to play some minutes and show the coach that they are capable of actually doing something. We'll see how it goes

Today's game Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics


I'll be going with the Celtics today, the ML is currently offered is offered @ 2.65 and I really do think they'd pull off a win against the underperforming Wizards. However, I'm going for the +4 Handicap on Celtics which as at the time of this post is valued @ 2.01




Boston Celtics + 4

[morvillz7z]

Quick game update on Bos vs. Wiz: J.Parker and Ariza won't play, Beal on a minutes restriction. That +4/4.5 spread looks more and more tempting.

I haven't made up my mind completely, but I see myself bet on the Rockets to beat OKC. Rockets will secure the second seed if they win and Nuggets lose in Utah (they have the tie-breaker with Denver). A couple more hours to think about it, my pick will obviously be a game-time decision.

Same feeling here mate, I'd guess the temptation led me to the Boston's pick but, I'm somewhat more tempted by Wizards mediocrity, I'll definitely make another pick probably a more even match, I guess it'd be Utah or the Rockets fixture.


I'm going with OKC vs Rockets game for my second pick, I'm betting on Rockets - 3 valued @ 1.94.

Now this makes me confident now, Rockets are on the lead now, though it's still early and we cannot say if they will win, but the start is good.
Harden still doing his thing, scored double digit already while still in the first quarter, hoping that his performance will help the team win.

Oh well, Rockets screwed it all up during the 4th quarter.

I won my bet on Celtics as they were even to win the match, but I lost on the Rockets. Even though they a comfortable leading accumulated across the first 3 quarters, they get blowaway in the last quarter.

Today's game Brooklyn Nets vs Miami Heat


It is a must win match for the Heat and I think they'll eventually do so, they are currently offered on ML @ 2.805, I'm anyways going for the Heat +4.5 for a 2.02 odds.




Miami Heat + 4.5

[morvillz7z]

Why do you think it's a must win game for Miami?

They are officially eliminated from the playoffs. For 8th seed, it is either Pistons or Hornets. I secretly hope Pistons somehow/someway choke in NY, I'd really want to see Kemba get some action in the playoffs.

Jazz, by the way, are pulling a Celtics tonight, they will rest their entire lineup.

I thought they were still in contention for a playoffs spot, Which made me surprised with their odds, But the did is done already as I've placed my bet already.

Yeah they really dont need to win since they are out of playoff contention. I didnt have time to watch any of the games last night only caught a glimpse of Dwayne wade falling on legends lap and spilling his drink all over him and his wife.

Tie-breakers! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nets will be interested to keep that 6th seed and face 76ers in the first round. They are 2 and 2 this season. If they lose, they have to play against the Raptors (lost season series 3-1, only win came in an OT) which to me is the tougher opponent of the two.

Same, but I was able to catch the first quarter of Celtics and Wizards game, seriously I have never seen an NBA team play zone defense (2-3) for an entire 12 minutes. Celtics were down 20+pts, thought Harkoredes' winning streak was well over, guess I was wrong.

Glad I didn't bet on the Rockets though, I'm not sure my TV would have made it in one piece given the BS that happened in the last 30 seconds of the game.

Clippers -8 against the Jazz, I'm betting on the Jazz here, is this a trap?
Why do we have a line like this?

It was a trap because as morvillz7z mentioned they benched all their good players tonight and clippers played their top players as much as they would want to for a useless game like this one was to each team since their seeded places were decided by other games. Golden state for the clips and Houston for the jazz.
My picks were are good I posted earlier for the last night of nba regular season action.

That would be it for me because the playoffs are even more unpredictable then these last games being played the past few days. Just look at the portland and sacramento game. I feel bad for anyone who placed a bet on that unless they when with the over since the kings had 87 points in the first half alone but ended up losing the game some how with a 28 point lead.
I think it was the biggest comeback this season for any team.

[Botnake]

<<snip>>>>

I envy that multiplier, you are good at parlay bets where that is my weakness.
Clippers did won the game but it went to OT and they did not cover the betting spread, we have some good cappers here now.
Comes playoff times, it will be more exciting, will be checking in from time to time, though I don't post a lot.

[Sanitough]

Tomorrow is the start of the playoffs, there are 4 games but I only like 2 games on the board.

(1) I like the spurs to upset the Denver in the first game, betting on the ML, no point spread for this as I'm too confident for my team.
(2) Warriors -12.5, I believe they can win the first game and will dominate the Clippers, -12.5 is high but this is playoffs.
