Can I be profitable in the NBA PLAYOFFS? ===>check inside

[bisdak40]

Good luck with your experiment mate, hope you can have a profit after the playoffs.

I have not been profitable so far, as I lost two bets today. As a result of these losses, my bankroll has decreased to $275.

Tomorrow, I'll be betting on the Denver Nuggets -6.5 for 2.00 odds. It will be for $100.

I won my bet, which brings my total bankroll up to $375, but that's still down from my original bankroll of $500.

Tomorrow, I'm thinking about betting on the Heat at +3.5 and the Warriors at -7. I plan to wager $50 on the Heat and $100 on the Warriors.

That's a good plan as I'm also thinking that the Warriors will bounce back big tomorrow and that 7-point spread will be covered easily as they are playing in their homecourt while the Heat is on the role that i think the Knicks season will be over tomorrow.

If you win on the two bets, that would big, and suddenly you will be having profit instantly so good luck.

BTW, i'll be tailing you on your bets tomorrow.

I will bet on the Heat, but I'll be taking the moneyline instead. The Heat are the underdogs in the first and second rounds of their series. So, I'm thinking maybe the trend will continue, and the Heat will end the Knicks in five games like they did against the Bucks.

Or, maybe I'll bet on the Knicks/Heat game as the Heat usually play well in the second half. The odds for that are 9.20, which is not available in Sportsbet, but other bookies are offering it.

Good luck betting with the Warriors. This is like the most tough time for them as the Lakers need only one more win for them to proceed to the next bracket.
But it's also exciting to bet on such situation when the Warriors are going to be more determined and eager to win this match of them because if they won't play at their best and without a heart, they're eliminated.

An interesting thread to follow, I am not really akin to NBAs, would have been a really interesting idea to bet along with the op, and seeing that he already lost most of his bets, I would always go with the opposite, I wil be following to see the later outcome of this..

Goodluck to you op, and I am really hoping you end up in profit, at least, I know of a saying that "the bad situation of a market in the morning does not mean the market will be bad all through the day till evening".

No matter the outcome, it's hard to discount the Warriors' performance on their home court. They should be able to win here, but covering the spread is another story. OP seems very confident with the Warriors, as they have placed bigger bets compared to the first game, so let's see if the Warriors can really cover.

Based on their current ATS record of 29-16-1, the Warriors' chances of covering are quite high. Their home straight-up win record of 36-10 is also impressive.

It's not that the Warriors are at an advantage because game 5 is to be played in their home court; it is that if they lose this game, it is over for them. For me, this is a more compelling reason for Kerr to be at his wisest point and for the players to be at their best performances, and for them to win. Home court or not, they will have to win this. Otherwise, it's the end for the defending champ. I guess I would still place even a moneyline bet on the Warriors even if this were played in the Lakers' home.

That's heavy @stadus.
Miami Heat lost. So your chance to regain the lost $50 will be on the Warriors' game against the Lakers. I also think they can win this one and their home crowd will be a lot of help to boost them up and maybe scare the Lakers bench whenever they come in. I am tailing this but only @-5.5.
If it ends up at a close game I am expecting the spreads could still be covered.

Steph Curry badly need help from Klay Thomson, the burden was too heavy at lifting the offense for the Warriors team. Someone must step up his game.

I lost on the Heat bet but won on the Warriors bet, resulting in a profitable day that brings my total bankroll to $425.

Tomorrow, I have the 76ers moneyline with odds of 2.16 and the Nuggets +2.5 at 1.95. Both bets are $50 each.

Though the Heat lost game 5 but still a profitable day for @stadus as he doubled his bet on the Warriors.

RJ Barrett was having a big game as his offensive output was enough to compliment Brunson who has also a very excellent game producing 38 big points to extend the series to game 6.

As for the Warriors, man that was tough game in the fourth, i though that it would be a close ending but thanks to those Steph Curry clutch shots that put the Lakers for good hehe.

Good thing for @stadus that the Heat vs Knicks game came first and the doubled bet won.

What's the plan for tomorrow? Sixers vs Celtics is a very unpredictable series which i think we just rely on luck to win on that series as no amount of analysis could somehow tell us on who got the edge for tomorrow's ballgame but might be the homecourt advantage will give the Sixers a little edge here.

[Questat]

Tomorrow, I have the 76ers moneyline with odds of 2.16 and the Nuggets +2.5 at 1.95. Both bets are $50 each.

I like the Nuggets, but I will skip the 76ers since we all know how good the Celtics are. They can win on the road, and I believe this series will go to game 7. As for the Nuggets, I think the trend will stop in 6. They are currently in good momentum after a dominant win in game 5. Jokic is expected to contribute a triple-double, and it's highly unlikely that they will let this game go to a 7th series.

Good thing for @stadus that the Heat vs Knicks game came first and the doubled bet won.

He must be very confident with the Warriors winning and covering the spread at home.

And they won.
A great advantage as they take the home court advantage but not just that, they just mainly are stronger and played better for this fifth game. So congratulations to you stadus, you've won this match.

Nuggets +2.5 at 1.95. Both bets are $50 each.

Good luck on this bet and I think you're going to win this bet as there will be no CP3 for the Suns for tomorrow's match. This could be it for the Nuggets and could be the last game for Suns if ever they lose.

This bet seems to be the easiest for OP tonight. They could have gone 2-2 if the 76ers didn't collapse in the 4th quarter. Currently, the Suns are in control with a 25-point lead. While the Suns may not necessarily let up, it's safe to say they won't be mounting a comeback in this game.

Congratulations in advance to the Nuggets on reaching the Western Conference Finals!

Congratulations on the Warriors bet, that's still profits.
Today you got 1/2 again with only a little bit of loss, right? The ML for the Nuggets could've been better especially without Ayton playing the game.
Still, that's a good pick you did there.
Many have thought the Phoenix Suns will try to tie the game and the Nuggets ending it at Game 7 but we are right because I also took the bet for the Denver Nuggets.
Sadly, I missed the 1st game and never had the chance to place my bet.

Up next, Warriors or Lakers?  I am rooting for the Warriors, I wish they will give better odds and I think AD will be playing despite the hit in the head in Game 5.

I lost 5% of my $50 because I only received $47.5 from my Denver bet, which brings my total bankroll to $422.5.

Tomorrow, my bets are Miami -6.5 and the Warriors moneyline for $50 each.

Congratulations to stadus and as well as the Denver Nuggets for advancing, that was really an easy bet. While the Nuggets are celebrating, there goes the blaming and flaming from the fans of the Suns on the web and they're disturbing Kevin Durant on this loss.
It's just hard to accept for them that their best team has lost this playoffs. Another team that has been dominating before this playoffs and then gets kicked off by a better team. I can remember the Jazz on them but that team has nowhere to be found now.

Ayton's injury really put them into a messy situation which led them to an elimination last night because they've got no good cover inside the paint and no rebounds coming from their end. Booker was already having a hard time too in the first quarter and then there's Murray who keeps talking at him to mess him in his head, which really is effective by the way. Cam Payne put some good stats but that is not enough to keep the team afloat.

Warriors @ Lakers later, this will be a tight game.

[Oasisman]

Up next, Warriors or Lakers?  I am rooting for the Warriors, I wish they will give better odds and I think AD will be playing despite the hit in the head in Game 5.

I think the Warriors is getting a good odds now as Wiggins will be questionable for game 6 due to rib cage injury.
AD and LeBron said they're questionable for game 6 too per several articles and Lakers' social media account. But I don't think they're not playing in a very important close out game. A game 7 against the Warriors is not a good sign for the Lakers.
But regardless if Wiggins play the Warriors will still have a good odd as the Lakers are unbeatable at home this post season.

I love threads like this, so subscribing.
It would be nice if you could see general statistics in one post (for example, the first one) after there will be a lot of bets (or there will be many pages in the topic) it will be quite inconvenient to follow the current state of affairs.

With my years of betting experience, I have found out that the better team does not always win (cover the spread) because there are many factors to consider, and the biggest factor in the game is the officiating.

Isn't it obvious that no team can have a 100% result and refereeing has nothing to do with it. Even in chess, where everything is mathematically quite accurate, a chess program that is weaker than another chess program can sometimes win the game.

It seems that the Golden State Warriors are more likely to allow Wiggins to play although we will only know the final decision a few minutes before the Game 6 official tip-off. A must-win for the Warriors and prepared to risk everything. Of course, it's not that they will push Wiggins to its limit but as long as he can manage, he will be kept on the rotation.

As for the Lakers' Lebron James and Anthony Davis, currently listed as probable and more likely, they will play.

If the Lakers won't be able to close out the later game, the momentum will now shift to the Golden State Warriors, and sorry to say, the Lakers are more likely to get eliminated in this series if they will return to the Chase Center for Game 7.

Warriors moneyline for $50 each.

Good luck, mate. That was a tough bet.

If I were to choose Warriors, I will pick point spread instead between +3.5 to +4.5 with odds playing around @1.89 and @1.75 respectively.

I too would love to see the original post updated to reflect all the bets and the current bankroll amount. Having to read through each post hoping to find the next bet is exhausting.

Great thread though and props to you for being willing to document your gambling experience publicly knowing that the odds are against you. As others have said, Good Luck to you!
