NBA 2023-2024 betting

[agustina2]

This is really sad, I should have looked until the game started I never thought that Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have injuries and can not play against the Clippers because some injury list is not updated

The injury list is always updated and Bucks' key players are not injured. They are just pumped up last game. Game-time decision and Milwaukee Bucks decided to sit out their stars since they already clinched a playoffs spot and to have a rest. Not against the rules after all in preparation for the playoffs.

It's a trap. I know bookies know that but decided to play a game with their bettors lol. They are sometimes toying with the bettors. Bookies know internally what is happening inside the NBA and that's the challenge for the bettors, to have a good pick.

Celtics win but didn't cover the spread, it was a total disaster for us NBA bettors.

Totally.

Absolutely. 
We are hyped by the favorites to win most of their games and they expected we would do the same. They are not wrong. 
Bookies day. But we could get it back as always.
1 game is already starting 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets. I already locked my bet for the 76ers -6.5 when I saw Harden and Embiid playing. I hope they cover. Another game will start minutes away. Knicks vs Cavaliers. Cavaliers ML.

Hawks vs Nets - This will be the most fun game of all. Tied at 40 wins and 37 losses. 1 team will take the 8th spot if they win and the other will fall to the 10th seed. I'll support the Nets -3.5.

It gets tricky towards the end of the season when it comes to gambling predictions.  You never know which star is resting themselves to get ready for the playoffs and which teams are hungry to get meaningless wins.  There are always individual player goals that might motivate some guys without it being too well known.  Then you have guys like LeBron going for the scoring title.  It might not be a bad idea to take some long shots and hope for the best. 

I am curious if there is betting available anywhere on who will win the scoring title, or which teams will be included in the playoffs.  I'm tempted to bet against the Lakers and bet with LeBron in that scenario as I think his goal going forward is to score a lot of points and not lead his team into what would likely be a first round exit, if they won the play-in...

[mirakal]

Is this the end for the current team of Lakers ?

We have to be honest, I'm a Lakers fan but I don't think they would really advance in the playoffs if ever they are lucky to win the play-in tournament. Lebron is not playing anymore, there seems to be no urgency to win by this team, so probably this is a goodbye statement for them.

No LeBron James even he is not injured, then message is clear that the Lakers have given up their hopes to be in the playoffs or even survive on the play-in tournament. I support them in this decision because this is the best for them rather than exhausting themselves even if they know what road they will end.
It's best to scout for new young additional in the team that could really contribute and not just a burden, better to start and invest on them while they're young rather than attempting to build a superteam again.

Anyways, I got my bet. Denver Nuggets -2.5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Better to rest for now instead of pushing if they already accept that the chance is too slim, they are just going to risk their assets

in case new injury will happen during the game. I agree with you, might be better to invest with young stars and build a team that has

a better chance instead of bringing old stars that are only good in papers. There's no blend of good chemistry up to this close nothing happen

to the team, without Davis, we witness how weak the Lakers are.

Just look at them now, LeBron is just playing like it was just an exercise for him but the dude can still grab and do an easy 30+ points even if there's no pressure at all to grab that much points. I'm thinking that this is his other way of scouting young players and make them wear the Yellow+Purple jersey next season and that's good because they've started they're scouting session.
I'm sure that we will see new young players next season instead of these old Alphas that's struggling to play in harmony.

The big risk of taking the early picks, that trap happens with the Bucks.

If I remember it right, they are still the favorite before seeing that all the stars are going to sit and will not play against the
clippers, sad to say that bettors expect that bucks will still aim for another win.

After that, back to back against their rival teams from the east. It's best for the coaching staff to rest them as they already
got assured of the playoff spot.

True, that's why I opted to go most on live betting in the last remaining games. But there are times that I want to do a pre game bet, but then again, the Suns lost.

Not sure of this bets, but this could be an interesting options as well. Yeah, maybe James options for now is to just score points to get closer to Kareem's record and then maybe next season he can overtake him.

Yeah that's why betting early on a game is risky the not playing list changes all the way up to tipoff.  And when you have a team resting so many players it makes it tough to figure out the likely outcome.  Nothing to go on.

Hawks vs Nets - This will be the most fun game of all. Tied at 40 wins and 37 losses. 1 team will take the 8th spot if they win and the other will fall to the 10th seed. I'll support the Nets -3.5.

This is very interesting game for me, but I'm leaning towards the Hawks though, at +1.5 which a very attractive odds @2.05.

The Hawks are winning their last 4 and this is crucial games for them at their home court. I'm expecting Trae Young to thrive on this kind of pressure games, this will be another playoff atmosphere tonight.

[freedomgo]

Bucks' game was a trap, suddenly rest their stars. While Clippers need that win so they could keep the 8th spot. I think they are safe in that position now or they are 1 win away to keep it.
2 upset games that I watched. Nuggets were defeated by the T'wolves where I lost my bet and Dallas Mavericks were blown out by the Wizards.
Caldwell Pope red hot and the Unicorn helping to defeat his former team.
I got a parlay for the Spurs, Celtics, Raptors, and Mavs to win. Sadly, the Mavs was the only one who let me down and broke it. 

Everyone lost today, even the Suns were outplayed by the Memphis. But I do agree that the Bucks games was not expected, I have them -5.5 against the Clippers and when I got the time to check the score, it was Clippers with a huge lead.

Celtics win but didn't cover the spread, it was a total disaster for us NBA bettors.

We didn't expected that because Middleton and Giannis are not in the list of questionable to play but when the game started, I bet everyone is confused why aren't they seeing the Bucks key players. Clippers won with a landslide, 34 point lead. What a day!

The 76ers have just won against the Hornets and my bet did go through (144-114) and I have Nets -1

I would have also gone with the Brooklyn Nets here, the Hawks are doing good right now no doubt, but I think the Nets will be too much to handle for them though.

However, I've got my eyes on different game and it's on Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat,  I like the Heat here, and I'm  going with the Heat -2.5 @ 1.91 here, I've lost a couple of times on the Bulls on these kinds of game and I don't think they're capable of winning this.

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat

Chicago Bulls Injuries;
Lonzo Ball

Miami Heat Injuries;

The leader of the east will easily win this match tonight.
I'm going to try my luck tonight for the Miami Heat.

[ralle14]

Rolling with the Jazz over GSW, both teams are in horrendous form but I prefer Jazz even though the Warriors kept it close against the Suns as they're still finding looking for a win to break their streak.

I just hope the Jazz won't crumble again if they manage to get a decent lead by halftime.

The Hawks are now leading the Nets with a double digit advantage.

Trae Young doing the shimmy before taking that 3, damn that was cold.

Kyrie and Irving in the 3rd quarter seems not to have an energy in this game. So let's see if they can mount a comeback and make it a game against the Hawks otherwise, this is going to be an easy win for them.

Jazz failed to hold the lead, they were outscored in the 4th quarter resulting in a win by the Warriors.

20-30 was the score in the 4th quarter in favor of the Warriors, a great game by KT after a bad performance in the previous game.
Sorry mate, you'll get that "W" next time for sure.

Cheers bro, you hit it. It's a close game but the Hawks dominate and as you predicted, it is Trae Young who happened to have the hot hands. KD with 55 points but still not enough to win the game. Turnovers are a big difference as I saw a lot of broken play by the Nets with their off-target pass.
Hornets and Nets are now tied at 9th and 10th after the Hornets were blown out by the 76ers. I stopped watching it after the 3rd quarter as it's obvious who will win.
 
Big night for me and that settles all my losses.

Lucky 1 point difference on the over-score of Knicks vs Cavs.  Cheers to everyone.

Congratuations mate, nice wins you've got there.

However, I've got my eyes on different game and it's on Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat,  I like the Heat here, and I'm  going with the Heat -2.5 @ 1.91 here, I've lost a couple of times on the Bulls on these kinds of game and I don't think they're capable of winning this.

The Heat spread was easy money last night...

I was also able to cash in my single players props for the night.






I must also say that the Andre Drummond's Under 1.5 assist bet was @morvillz7z's Idea

I'll be looking more into this single props down the last 5 game or thereabout strecth.

[Baofeng]

I was able to do some live betting on the Warriors vs Utah.

It was a total collapsed on the side of the Jazz, they let the Warriors do a 18-0 run and they can't stop Klay from hitting those 3 points.



And it was just about time that Klay should played good because they have been very inconsistent and losing close games.

So for sure, bettors are happy with tonights game compare to yesterday wherein it was a nightmare for us because of upsets.

It's a bummer for them to do such things that is why I stay away from betting in today's game again just to look upon things I really think many have on their favorites and betting on the other end that has bet for the Bucks had taken away big profits it is too unpredictable for some, but I should check first the situation than always looking at the favorites and not expecting something like this could happen, but yeah this is the first time getting a pretty much 4 players of the Bucks suddenly will not play against the Clippers and I am completely not aware, I should have read the lines and look for news on what may happen, but surely just my bad luck I guess,

Tricky as it is I really need to see the full detail first and yes people to read between the lines if certain something could happen but it is easier said than done, it surely is hard to predict, and when NBA is at its climax readying for the quarter-finals, and the teams will surely be heated up with resting and letting a game lost than losing at the finals, right now I will be more of a watchful eye in giving my picks right now.

Nice one, congrats @Baofeng. I am just wondering, what if you do live betting when the Jazz are up by double-digit, right before the long run of the Warriors, maybe the ML odds would be at least 5.00?

Too bad mate, the Jazz choke again after establishing a good lead against GSW. Not sure what the problem of the Jazz right now, but it seems that they are just a 2 quarter team right now. And then totally losing it in the last quarters. They are not down to 5th position in the Western conference though, so that is a consolation that they will go on the playoffs again.
