They covered the spread and then some so everybody was content with their performance no matter how much over a handicap you had on with a 75-60 score at the end of it all.

The under also covered which has been the trend with UConn's matches. 

Yeah, without a doubt. Everyone who made a bet for UConn is a winner now, it doesn't matter what spread they put, it's all covered.
But, I put my money on Purdue so I lost in the last part of March Madness. Congratulations to UConn though and that was really an entertaining performance. Thumbs up to Purdue too, that was a big-time step up and that performance will not be forgotten.

Next stop. Be ready guys, NBA playoffs are near. You might want to save some money because I think it will be a hot game. The East and the West are in a close battle and we might see some Game 7 that will happen considering the winning percentage of every team in the season.

Champions league quarters start in just about 45 mins and for some reason im feeling a draw on both matches 

Dont agree with bayern odds at 4.7 
City gonna win at home anyways so they might be just comfortable with a draw today.

Nice shout on both matches ending in a draw, I didn't expect Bayern to come out swinging against Arsenal on the road, I had low expectations from them due to their poor form.

I was close to pulling the trigger on Man City's special, then had the same thought on Man City being satisfied with a draw.

Was going to go for the UConn win & over 141.5 pts market but glad I didn't because was looking for more on the odds but happy nonetheless on the win. As you probably are aware some individuals put their houses on these college games so they will happily take the 1.32x odds on UConn ML anyday of the week.

What do you see for the Sportsbet.io Special section for today?
There should be something available for the Champion league matches scheduled for later on today.
Haven't had anything available under my tab for months so just stopped looking under them and hoping to see something worth the wait.
Will probably take Barcelona @3.65x to beat PSG as there can't be another set of draws today in UEFA, can there be?

Yes @danherbias07 agreed!
Now that March is over with and the madness has subsided for another year in College Basketball, we can move on to the big boys in the NBA with the Play-offs coming in full swing.
After the play-ins of course.

Oh yeah, play-in tournament first, the mini-playoff. It's also fun to watch this because it's do or die for the teams who are under the number 8 rank. They must win twice just so they could enter the playoff and I can say all the previous play-in tournaments are enjoyable to watch.

It's near. We only have two games remaining in the NBA Season which is why I am trying to save more money as I know it's going to be expensive once the playoffs start. I'd probably make betbuilders to maximize the bets in each game and profits of course if ever it wins.

It's also probably the best time to bet for the Outrights if some of you have an idea of who will be the champions this season.
Here are the odds for the NBA Winner. Once it goes to the playoffs, the odds could go slimmer especially if your preferred team is winning the 1st round.

My wild cards are the Pelicans for the West and the Pacers for the East. It's a shoot to the moon but who knows?
There's more if you check the whole page.

Never really liked this play-ins format when it was first announced, I think during covid.
But it is what it is. Miss the regular season then straight to the play-offs.

And yes we still have teams playing their final two games left of the regular season tonight going into the weekend. Seen the play-ins begin April 16-19th so very soon after these matches with a day or two of rest it seems for all teams involved.

Looking at the matches in the NBA tonight this one seems like the most interesting one to place a wager on since they are very close on odds. But I will go with the Pelicans with Zion doing good going into the post season:

It's the opposite for me because the other teams are given an extra chance and it's always interesting to watch the underdog potentially shock the favorites like what Miami did in the previous playoffs.

I stopped looking a few days ago after my bankroll quickly dried up due to my bad luck. 

At least yesterday's special should've hit regardless of the match they offered, and congrats on calling that Barca win.

[rohang]

Liverpool vs man utd jist started and first half under 1.5 goals is pretty generous line at 1.8 odds,

Also love chelsea+spurs parlay to win at 2.1 odds

Also CHTV is live as always with freebets to win--

https://www.youtube.com/live/nrY09RnrxRU?si=SvbHv7wqG_ADTGd1

The 1st half under hit was bang on!
But spurs and chelsea parlay failed 

For the weekend id suggest parlay of brighton + brentford at about 3x odds

Pretty cool games

Oh yeah! No one expected that.
The Miami Heat was the 7th seed last year and they lost at the first battle which means they will need to wait for the 9th and 10th on which teams are going to win to battle again and claim the 8th seed for the playoffs.
I think that was the first time that a team came from the play-in tournament and ended up being the Conference Champions. Even the popular basketball analysts were shocked at what happened. Everyone is underestimating them, even the odds tell so. I won't be a hypocrite, I never expected them to be there too.

This is why I told in the NBA Season thread that if their supported teams are in the ranks 9th or 10th, it ain't the end of the world yet. There's always a chance as long as they play great.
I think the Warriors might make it to the 8th spot after beating the Lakers. Lebron got them last time with his one-eyed triple. But the Warriors are playing better in their recent games while the Lakers are filled with injuries.

What a great comeback from the International break by Newcastle with a complete dismantling of the hot spurs!
Actually by all the Sportsbet.io sponsored teams yesterday in the English football leagues including from the championship league with Southampton beating Watford.
Well done!

Today we have three matches that begin in about an hour and a half and the big one with Arsenal in four hours from now so plenty of time to put in your best bets on these games in the EPL shown below:
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

Who would've thought all home favorites (Liverpool, West Ham, and Arsenal) lost earlier today?  The limited resting time probably affected their performance since they also played in the Champions League and Europa League.

After a quick look at today's special, we could get a freebie on Chelsea since it'll be the Chelsea vs Everton match. With Chelsea scoring at least 2-3 goals per match, they could easily land both the match-winner and
team total over 1.5 goals.

[slaman29]

Weird, I don't see the special above at all, guess it was during America morning time? Have to say it does seem really tempting. Everton fighting down below the whole season even though they say it's unfair with points deduction, they would still be in bottom half without the deductions.

Chelsea is seesaw. Lose then win then lose or draw, this is the story of last six games, they didn't win last one so I guess it's time for a win now

They usually put up the specials half a day early and sometimes one or two days ahead. If you don't see them maybe you're experiencing the same unknown issue with rdbase and arallmuus.

Chelsea with the expected free win against Everton.

It looks like the Barcelona vs PSG match is the next daily special. The best option here would be Barcelona's special, they're in the lead with a 3-2 aggregate score, but I don't recommend hammering the special. It could still end in a draw as that's more than enough for Barcelona to advance and PSG always has the threat to force a draw.

[slaman29]

For sure no specials. I checked yesterday less than 15 hours ago, and then again just earlier about 5 hours ago, so in between is window of 10 hours which is midnight to morning time in Europe anyway, so I doubt I missed anything in that period.

And now still nothing, wish I could take that special since I'm all for Barca winning this game, but also the upcoming El Clasico

Take a bet for me, I think this is the night for us!!

All those home teams had it rough over the weekend and being the heavy favorites too while dropping points.
Had bets on Liverpool and Arsenal but they couldn't score a single goal. Shameless really.

Also took Chelsea yesterday and had a feeling they were going to have way more goals than just 1.5 goals.

Even managed to get the Chelsea win & over 4.5 goals market @5.40x and it cashed nicely out aswell!

As I had explained previously when arallmuus was discussing he couldn't view any of sportsbet specials shown here by ralle14, it was a regional issue causing this.
As Steve had mentioned to me they hadn't been available for months now while certain regions where still seeing them such as ralle14 is in that very region.
Checking the link below shows up blank for me and probably for you aswell if we are in those regions where they don't display:

[ralle14]

My predictions for this week's BSFL are fucked, but i'm glad I avoided yesterday's special because who would've expected that red card to come in the first half and heavily punish Barcelona.

On the other hand, my BTTS bets cashed on both matches, the odds aren't that high, but i'll take it if it works. I'll likely do the same for the other matches.



The next special might be a hammer bet, as I can't imagine Man City scoring only one goal, and Real Madrid will definitely at least score one back.

Thats exactly when Barcelona started to lose the match right after receiving that red card. They scored and were up 1-0 but then PSG scored an equalizer just before the half. Then it imploded from there for the Spanish side. They committed quite alot of fouls which made it even easier for the Parisians to take this match from them being up 3-2 on aggregate before the match started.

As for today's matches I am more interested in the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich one to be honest.
I will go for BTTS with a win for the gunners to advance to the semifinals.

[slaman29]

Enjoy the specials, ralle14. Not moving out of my region anytime in future I think I'm stuck here my whole life unless I win jackpot lol

Anyway, I'm still feeling sad from Barca. We were on such a good run and lost in the worst possible way, at home

City special looks good, I'm on Real though. La Liga teams only have them as the last representative.

That Araujo foul was unnecessary and lost them the game; if he had let the guy through (score or not), Barcelona would still be leading the aggregate with 11 men on the pitch.

That one mistake has cost them a spot in the 2025 CL tournament. Atletico Madrid took the remaining slot.

We saw a BTS and a goal feast yesterday; what are your expectations for today's games? Over2.5 or BTS for both games.

Thanks for the nice words, hopefully, they could extend it back to you guys so I wouldn't be the only one pounding these specials. 

The Man City special unexpectedly fell short after Real Madrid held on to a draw in regular time. At least one of my BTTS bets won, i'm never trusting Arsenal again on the road. I knew they'd have an underwhelming performance and I still went for it like an idiot.

In general I feel like BTTS is good at the odds you took but second legs are usually a problem in my mind, always it's people expecting something, not getting it, then for some reason both teams think it's ok to go to penalties. Arsenal are okay in England they just have not yet found their 'nails' in Europe. Which is normal after being out for so long. It took City many years also but I'm glad they're out, I know I hate Real but somehow I prefer them to Plastic Teams like City.

We saw a BTS and a goal feast yesterday; what are your expectations for today's games? Over2.5 or BTS for both games.

Terrible for BTTS terrible for overs, even in Europa League second legs were quite bad, I have a feeling semifinals will be similar. Many goals first leg with ref interventions then superbuspark second legs lol

Doesn't this year for the tournament seem there are more fouls causing the presentation of a red card?
Think there has been a sending off of either a coach on the sidelines or for a side trying to get through.

@slaman29 Liking Real Madrid chances this year to take it all too!

I had lose more than I choose to say when relying on Arsenal in the EPL and for this Champions league, so glad they are out now actually so know not to trust them to come through either.

So Who do you see getting out of the quarter-finals?
I would like to see a Real Madrid vs PSG Champions League finals for the first of next month.
