NBA 2025-2026 betting

[freedomgo]

Man, this dude really let me down... Ronald Holland II totally wrecked my x6 odds bet on Detroit! All he had to do was sink one free throw with the game tied at 111 and no time on the clock! But nope, he bricked both, and just like that, the Bucks took it, 120-127. 

Those types of losses are one of the worst, not as bad as losing 15-20 point leads in the 4th quarter but I know for sure it hurts. I had this a few weeks back in German cup basketball, bet the huge underdog, they were down 1 points and with 0.6 on the clock got 3 free throws, and missed all 3. Basketball can be disgusting sometimes.

I thought it was a sure win since this guy’s shooting 92% from the free-throw line this season, but turns out he doesn’t have ice in his veins. I just needed him to make one shot. Missing one, I could maybe let that slide, but both? That’s just unacceptable.

I am annoyed of myself not betting the Blazers tonight. Yesterday I bet on Minnesota got recked miserably, at least I cashed out for an "only" 50% loss but still. Today the Blazers got even bigger odds than yesterday, being around 4.85 when I last checked before the game started. And all that even though they led and dominated yesterday's game against the same team pretty much from start to finish.
And yeah, Portland won again holding the Wolfes to under 100 points, back to back odds above 4.5 against the same team, what a life. 

Same outcome, right? Didn’t place a bet on that one. Could’ve made up for my losses… guess I'll just have to wait for the next one, tomorrow..

Same here mate, I have 3 game multi betting,

Magic to win by -1.5 against the Pacers
Boston over Nets -7.5
League leading Cavs over the Sixers by -8.5. Cavs won by 8, they had 10 point lead already in the last seconds and I think it was Martin or Jared McCain who hit for the final score as the Cavs just hold on the ball

Based on the play to play record, it was Kelly Oubre Jr. who made the shot, assist by Jared McCain assists... the score after that shot was 114-106, and although there were still shots taken but none of those went it. you can review here https://www.espn.ph/nba/playbyplay/_/gameId/401704786

Oh sorry mate, I was just pissed off that I don't recall who made that shot as I thought that I'm going to hit that parlay of mine, 

I thought that the Celtics is the one that might be in danger as in the second half it was very close game.

[danherbias07]

1/4 on my early picks. Oh c'mon! Only the Boston Celtics covered the spread. The surprising thing of all is that the Chicago Bulls won against the New York Knicks. I don't know how much the ML for the Bulls yesterday but I am guessing it is big because it was -10.5 for the Knicks. Lucky for those who believe in upsets like that to happen.

We only have 1 game later. Here is my pick.

Utah Jazz - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-10.5) The Mavs will probably win this game but I hope they can also cover the spread. Doncic is probable to play and PJ Washing is doubtful to play.

Good luck everyone!

I feel bad for those who bet on the New York Knicks and Miami Heat. Imagine losing a game on a technical foul because your coach called a timeout with none left. Erik Spoelstra asked for a timeout after the Detroit Pistons tied the game with one second left on the clock. Meanwhile, the Knicks lost because Josh Hart committed a three-point foul on Coby White, who made all three free throws. If these things hadn’t happened, both the Miami Heat and New York Knicks would have won their games.

Those things really happen, even if we don’t see them every day. Just like yesterday, Detroit vs. Bucks...Detroit was so close to winning, but they lost because the rookie missed two free throws that could’ve sealed the game. I’m sure a lot of people lost their moneyline bets, and even with the points handicap, it was a close call since the Bucks ended up leading big in overtime.

Can't blame him as he's thinking about creating a play to take that last shots, a human error which lead them losing the game, though it's not usual as most of the time Assistant coaches always gives information to avoid such kind of mistake, might be a lost of communication as coach spo did not notice but maybe a mental block out but they need to move forward it's just a single game and still too early for the season, hope coaches learned from this mistake.

From what I recall the spread for the Bulls game was a bit lower (7-8 points) because it was a b2b game for the Knicks. I knew it was a trap game, but I still placed a bet on them thinking the lack of rest would offset their home advantage.

Also, i'm playing the under 230.5 for the Jazz game. Their last meeting ended with 212 points and I think the Jazz will do their best to keep this game from hitting 230 points since they don't always drop 110 points per game, unlike the Mavs.

Over under seemed like a risky bet as Dallas can drop 130 a night easily so I decided to bet Dallas Moneyline. Hoping Klay, Luka, and Kyrie keep their foot on the pedal and don't let up.

Looks like you’re right; this is turning into a high-scoring affair with a total of 125 points just by halftime. I didn’t expect it to be such a close game, it seems the home team is putting up a fight, (61-64), just a three-point difference. Let’s see if the Jazz still has something left in the tank for the second half. Anyway good luck moneyline bet on Dallas.

@ralle14 won his bet as the total ended at just 228. Both teams had their runs in the second half, but Dallas couldn’t complete the comeback in the 4th, falling to the Jazz. This marked Dallas’ 4th straight loss, while the Jazz secured their first home win.

Jordan Clarkson took over in the 4th, with another JC stepping up to make big shots. The last play was huge, Dallas seemed to fall asleep, and the JC-to-JC connection kept Dalla's losing streak alive. Final score: 115-113, a 2-point win for the Jazz.

It looked impossible, but i'm glad it still came through. I didn't expect my bet to cash when both teams were shooting for 50% in the first three quarters then the game slowed down in the fourth with that near comeback from the Mavs.

I thought my under had no business winning that because the live totals stayed within 240+ points when I tuned in the fourth quarter. I guess you never count your bet out until it's over.

That’s pure luck right there, they only scored 48 points in the 4th quarter. If Dallas hadn't managed to come back, it could’ve been a high-scoring 4th. Or on that low scoring quarter could even gone into overtime if they’d chosen to drive the ball inside. Just bad luck for Dallas..Luka didn’t take the last shot, or even Klay could’ve stepped up. But no complaints since that gave you a win.  

By the way, this is like the 3rd or 4th time in Dallas’ last games where their final attempts didn’t go in...


For tomorrow.

Toronto +2
OKC -7.5
Warriors -7.5

I've missed the games a while ago and so moving on with two games that I've chosen to pick, Heat and Spurs. Spurs made me won games last times that I bet on them so, I'd continue to bet on them for a while. Tell me if I did some good calls on these bets for the game winners. I also like the odds that these picks have.

[danherbias07]

I didn't expect that from the Jazz but that's a great win for them to boost their confidence back. Mavs needs Kyrie back, his chemistry with Doncic is better than how it is with Klay Thompson.

Later, we have 12 games. Damn, that's a lot. Here are my picks.

Indiana Pacers - Miami Heat - Indiana Pacers (-2.5)
New York Knicks - Brooklyn Nets - New York Knicks (-10.5)
Oklahoma City Thunder - Phoenix Suns - Oklahoma City Thunder (-5.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-2.5)

Good luck everyone, have a nice day!

Such a brutal game for me. I had parlayed Philly -4.5 last night with Dallas ML and wake up to see Philly covers in the football game and the Mavs suck balls and can't beat the trashy Jazz. Luka did his job and Klay did ok I suppose but the other starters just blew. Might have to take a break on Dallas for awhile, they can't cover spreads at all and can't beat bad teams it seems. If they're the fav, take the points and the other team.

I like the Lakers over the Spurs and the Cavs over the Bulls today.  Feeling confident so I'd roll them in a parlay for some decent odds.  That Lakers/Spurs game is on ESPN today so that might be worth watching.  I'm expecting AD and LeBron to try and put on a show for Wemby so he knows who is still in charge, but it would be great to see Wemby dominate as well.  I just don't think he's there yet even though his game the other night was something special.

Lakers vs Spurs definitely should be a good watch, you know both Lebron and Anthony Davis would never back down from such matchup even though neither of still needs to prove themselves, that said the odds for Lakers ML looks really good tbh and they should be able to get the W tonight and possibly even cover the -3 spread they're currently offered.

For Cavaliers backing them is becoming quite tricky especially when you have a mindset of them being due for a loss at some point and with each game passing it feels like the day is fast approaching, the odds are becoming ridiculously low on them as well.
