NBA 2024-2025 betting

Blazers line movement is weird, now they are the underdog but not that much really.
I am now thinking that its a fair game but I would still go with the home team, my pick for today is, Blazers ML and over 217.5.

[inthelongrun]

I had my eyes on a couple of games today but decided to stick with just a single bet. My pick is the Nets ML at home v Wolves. I couldn't watch any pre-season games with Minnesota but i doubt anything has changed for them since last season/seasons. Immature stars, badly run organization etc. I can't see them upset Kyrie and co at home.

Brooklyn Nets @ 1.64 Winner (incl. overtime)

Seems crazy but I got 2 bets on Brooklyn Nets with -1.5 and -2.5. Last season Minnesota have good players but were wasted. Poor management in there. I hope they won't waste another superb talent in Karl-Anthony Towns.

Odd especially when Portland will be playing at their home court. But I do pick Denver to win on this one. I am expecting a more improved Jokic and his young team. This time Denver will probably focus on Jokic to shoot more.

I don't know why I can't see someone picking on Clippers over GSW. I think -2.5 @2.04 is a good bet? I am feeling this is going to be an easy win for Clippers.

This is a good pick as your first one of the new season. I also have them to win only because durant is there for moral support if only from the bench as this is where he was during the preseason of the games I watched of theirs.
The wolves were horrible during this time and just couldnt score. So I expect the very same during this debut night in brooklyn as well.

[stadus]

My first official pick at the start of the regular season is.
Lakers -3.5

Bad start for me but its okay as its just a first game so let's focus on today's game.

I am looking at the games today and I picked the Celtics vs sixers to cap.
The spread seems so high because the Celtics is also known as a good team, but I like this kind of spot since I am more confident betting the home team here. The line up of the Sixers is quite really big, but I am sure they've experiment it a lot and let's see if they really fit in with each other tonight.

With that said, I am putting my money with the Sixers at -6.

Also on it, -6 Sixers looks pretty unattractive as we are talking of a Celtics team here who are always competitive against the Sixers but they have downgraded their team this season, they lost Kyrie and Horford and for me that's a big loss.

Dallas Mavericks @1.2 Moneyline

Yes, low odds and this is not usual to me because those who are aware of my gambling activity, they know I love picking risky odds (of course only to those worth to put a shot). But because "that is Dallas Mavericks", I'm willing to take the risks for betting with low profit in return. Mavericks fan here since 2001, win or loss, trash or not.

To make up with that low profit in return, I have to adjust my bet to something "decent".

And not just that:
-Wizards aren't playing with a full healthy lineup
-Mavericks have a great winning stats in their season opener playing at home whoever their opponent is
-Dallas just needs to contain Bradley Beal and it will lessen the Wizards offensively power

Overall, still there's an upset but I believed they will take this one (the reason I avoid the handicap for Mavs for much better odds lol)

I will post the bet slip later, win or loss. Hassle to check the 2FA on another phone.

This was a much better and safer bet then the nets game earlier. Just cant believe those wolves took it into overtime and beat them at home.
Kyrie was shooting out the lights and they still ruined his home debut.

Kyrie Irving is an amazing player. he broke the record for most points for a player who made a debut in a new team at Broklyn Nets
I can't wait for KD to play again. but it looks like it's still waiting until next season to see the KD and Kyrie games together

[stadus]

Advance pick for tomorrow. we have 3 games only and it's hard to find a game with a good value with this limited number of games only but I will still find one that I think I can win.

Rockets vs Bucks.

This time we will be able to see the tandem of WB and Harden in their first game of the regular season, so with that, I will bet on them expecting that they will show their team have improve with both of them playing.

With that, I will be betting on the Rockets -2. Good luck.

[morvillz7z]

I can't see them upset Kyrie and co at home.

Well yeah

I don't really mind losing a bet but this was just pathetic. Nets reached new heights of choking last night, they literally had 4 chances to close out the game but they just couldn't. J.Allen missed two FTs in a row with 5 seconds on the clock (both teams didn't have any remaining timeouts). Prince got the offensive rebound on the second missed FT but got himself blocked by Towns and in OT Kyrie bricked what would have been the game-winning shot. Lol

Congratulations on this win, this was an easy one as Sixers have total control of the game.

With that, I will be betting on the Rockets -2. Good luck.

They are only -2 at home, fore sure if the Rockets will win, they can cover that spread as this is a home opener for them.
Do you bet on the over/under as well? I like to bet on the over 231.5 of this game too as think with Rockets playing its always a fast phase game.

Rockets (-3.5) is also a good bet. They are looking strong this season and will probably end the same.
I have the feeling that Rockets will lead more than 5 points  at the end of the regulations. I dont trust the Bucks that much in this match, though they have finished the pre-season with 5-0 standing, but I think they wont win against the Rockets this time.

Preseason and regular season is different, its actually their first game so we can't say they are looking good already.
its always possible to adjust the odds base on your preference, by taking -3.5 you will get 2.13 which is a good payout as you will get extra 13%.

Thank you for the pick, I won that easily, I was watching the game without any fear that the Celtics will cover.

With that, I will be betting on the Rockets -2. Good luck.

I am looking forward for this prediction to him tomorrow as I also like Rockets, hopefully this isn't a trap.


@morvillz7z looking forward for you pick as well.

Hey, how much did you put for that low odds to feel the profit?

You have won. But feel sad for those to pick Mavs -8.5. It's almost a win for those bettors but Wizards cut the lead.

Not that to feel the profit but somehow, at least, a good return out of risking a decent amount (that's a decent amount for me lol).

Not bad though for 80% success rate.

But feel sad for those to pick Mavs -8.5. It's almost a win for those bettors but Wizards cut the lead.

It's a sure win already for those who take that Mavs handicap. Mavericks owned the Wizards the whole game until the latter made a run during the last few minutes and cut the lead down to 8 from I think almost 20.


Here are my picks for the later game:

Clippers @ Warriors - Over 227.5
Bucks @ Rockets - Over 231.5

I want to disregard the ML and Handicap option for this match.

That's a risky bet since the amount bet is high for a little return, but then you got it, so good for you, however, in my case, I won't be choosing that kind of odds as I can't be too confident even if the odds is 1.10 or lower.

Here are my picks for the later game:

Clippers @ Warriors - Over 227.5
Bucks @ Rockets - Over 231.5

I like the Bucks/rockets over but I will skill clippers warriors over, instead I will go for the Warriors ML as I didn't find love for the home team here.

We have the same pick and that's good, it helps a bit to increase my confidence on my bet. I am also thinking of another scenario that could help this game to hit the over, and that is if the game will go into overtime as this kind spread looks like its gonna be a close game.

Yes, same with you, I too will do the same most of the time. I'm not that type of gambler who will just take that safe bet. It's just that it's "Mavericks" and I have lots of good reasons why I should risks that amount for that low odds which I have mentioned too.

I like the Bucks/rockets over but I will skill clippers warriors over, instead I will go for the Warriors ML as I didn't find love for the home team here.

Honestly, I consider Warriors ML but decided not to take it. Anyways, they will play their first season game at their new home venue (not the Oracle Arena anymore) so I guess they will go on a wild push for a win to somehow have a good first match history on that arena (they lose to Lakers here but that's just a pre-season game).

[Kasabus]

Honestly, I consider Warriors ML but decided not to take it.

Before when Durant is still with the Warriors, anyone would take that point spread all day, now that its only curry who will have to generate most of the offense, people are already doubting if he can still do it. Actually there's a lot of curry stopper in this game since we've seen how impressive the clippers defense is, if they will put Beverly on curry, he might have an off night but actually warriors is worth a shot, so I will have to put a little so there will be no regret for me.
