Stadus NBA betting Journey - 62-52 (54.38%)

[stadus]

Final pick: Under 216.5

Turns out it was the right bet. My record is now 53-46, around 53.55%, whooa. Feels like I’m on a roll right now.


Betting early again. I already placed my bet on the first game tomorrow. It’s very early in my timezone, so I probably won’t be able to watch it.

It’s OKC vs the Cavaliers, and this time I’m going with the Cavs. They’re on a winning streak right now, while OKC has been inconsistent without SGA. Losing to the Bucks was a big sign for me. So I don’t think it will be any different against the Cavaliers. I'm positive on this, cavaliers -3.5.

[stadus]

cavaliers -3.5.

Cavs streak is over, and so is mine. Record is now 50-47, around 51.54%.


Tomorrow we only have 3 games, but there’s one matchup that really caught my attention just by looking at it.
I’m talking about Rockets vs Jazz. We all saw what happened last time when the Rockets blew a big lead and lost to the Knicks. Because of that, I think they’ll bounce back strong this time and dominate the Jazz.

So my pick is Rockets -13.5

[stadus]

So my pick is Rockets -13.5

we got this one right, 51-47 (52%) is the new record.


Today I’m going with the Knicks against the Cavaliers. The line is kind of telling us to bet on the Cavs since they’re at home and they’ve been hot lately.

But when I checked their recent games, the last two were won by the Knicks. So that tells me something. If this turns into a close game, I think the Knicks can still cover.

my pick here is Knicks -4.

[stadus]

my pick here is Knicks +4.

51-48 = 51.55% ( current record)


Today I’m taking the Warriors against Memphis, and I’m going with the road team here.

Memphis hasn’t been convincing even at home. They’re 11–16 on their home record, and they 7 L of their last 10 games.
I think the trend will continue as the warrior have beat them on the last 3 games.

So my pick for this one is Warriors -4.

[stadus]

So my pick for this one is Warriors -4.

Easy one.. 52-48 (52%)


Next up we’ve got the Rockets vs the Magic.

Magic are listed as +2.5 underdogs here, but I’m not buying that line. With a 17–9 record, they’ve been solid and consistent. I actually think they won’t just cover, I see them winning this outright.

That said, My pick is Magic +2.5.

[stadus]

I actually think they won’t just cover, I see them winning this outright.

That said, My pick is Magic +2.5.

Loss this one, 52-49 = 51.48% the new record.


Let’s move forward. (DENVER +8)

Tomorrow I’m looking at the Nuggets vs OKC game, and +8 feels a bit too high for Denver. Being that heavy of an underdog seems like an overreaction. OKC is strong at home, no question, but Denver isn’t some average team you can just dismiss.

I’m leaning toward taking the Nuggets to cover the spread, even if they end up losing. Eight points is a lot, especially for a team with playoff experience.

[stadus]

Let’s move forward. (DENVER +8)

This was a crazy game. Once again, you could see how angry Joker got.
Even though the Nuggets lost, I still won my bet. My record is now 53–49, that’s 51.96%.


For tomorrow, we have the Lakers vs the Warriors.
The Lakers are on a 3-game losing streak, and I think this is the spot where they finally break it and that is at the expense of the Warriors.

My pick is Lakers -4.

[stadus]

My pick is Lakers -4.

another win in the bag, 54-49 = 52.42%..


Let’s continue tomorrow. I’m putting my money on the last scheduled game, Lakers vs Kings.
I’m backing the Lakers and hoping for a two-game streak.

The spread is high, but it’s reasonable. The Kings have lost 8 of their last 10. Even though they won their last game, I don’t put much weight on it since Dallas has been struggling. I think the Lakers bring them back to reality.

My pick: Lakers -13.5.

[Finestream]

My pick: Lakers -13.5.

I’d love to follow your pick. This one feels like a no-brainer. The Lakers haven’t been that solid lately, but against the Kings, who are one of the weaker teams right now, this looks like a good spot. I believe the Warriors are better than the Kings, and the Lakers already dominated them on the road. Now that they’re back home, it should be even more favorable. I think they handle this one comfortably.

Congrats to us. My record now stands at 55–49 (52.88%)
 

What do we have tomorrow? I see one that looks an easy one.

The Rockets are coming off a loss and now face a team on a losing streak that just got beaten badly by the Hawks. This feels like a bounce-back spot. I expect the Rockets to respond strong and possibly win by a wide margin.

My pick: Rockets -15.

[stadus]

My pick: Rockets -15.

That’s an L. My record now is 55–50, which puts me at 52.38% win rate.

Tomorrow I’m looking at the game between the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors. I’m not picking a side this time, I’m going with the total instead. In the last two games the Knicks won, they held their opponents to under 100 points. If they control the pace again, this could turn into a slower, defensive type of game.

Even if they lose, I still think the total can go under. So my play here is Under 221.5.

[stadus]

So my play here is Under 221.5.

Got this one right. Record now is 56–50, around 52.8%.


Looking at the game tomorrow between the Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Clippers. Last year the Pacers won the last two meetings, but I feel like it might be time for the Clippers to stop that trend.
Pacers are also struggling right now, they’re on a 6-game losing streak. If things keep going the same way, that could easily turn into 7. So I’m leaning towards the Clippers here, and I also think they might cover the spread.

Hopefully it even turns into a blowout. ( clippers -12)

[stadus]

Hopefully it even turns into a blowout. ( clippers -12)

Got it right again, 57-50 (53.27%) the current record.


Again I’m backing the LA Clippers since they haven’t failed me yet.

This time it’s the game against the SA Spurs. I know the Spurs have been rolling lately and dominated their last couple of games, even against the Pistons. But the Clippers are also on a 3-game win streak right now.

I think this one will be close. Even if the Clippers lose, they should still be able to cover the spread. So my pick here is Clippers +7.5.

[stadus]

. So my pick here is Clippers +7.5.

we did it again, 58-50 = 53.70% current reccord.

Today I’m betting on the game between the OKC Thunder and the Warriors.

The Warriors looked impressive in their win against the Rockets, but I don’t think they’ll have the same luck this time. OKC has SGA back, so they’re basically at full strength, and they’re also returning home after that road trip. Last time they played at home they blew out the Denver Nuggets, so I think the Warriors might experience something similar here.

With that, my pick is OKC -13.5.

[stadus]

With that, my pick is OKC -13.5.

its an L .. 58-51 = 53.21%


Trying to bounce back right away.
This time it’s the game between the LA Lakers and the New York Knicks. I’ll go with the team that has been more consistent lately, even when playing on the road.

With that, I’m backing the Knicks here to win and cover the spread at -3.5.

[stadus]

With that, I’m backing the Knicks here to win and cover the spread at -3.5.

Another L ... 58-52 (52.72%) current record


I’m on the game between the Cavaliers and the 76ers. I know the line is quite high and some might avoid the Cavaliers because of that, even if they are the better team.

But lines like this are usually there for a reason. I think the Cavaliers bounce back here after losing to the Boston Celtics, and it could even turn into a blowout win. The Sixers have been struggling in their recent games, so Cleveland should have the advantage.

My pick is Cavaliers -14.

[stadus]

My pick is Cavaliers -14.

push....

Let’s resume after a one day break.

Tomorrow I’m looking at the game between the Houston Rockets and the Denver Nuggets. Denver is currently on a two game losing streak so I’m thinking they bounce back at home and finally end that run, they should be able to beat the Rockets and possibly win by double digits.

But just to be a bit safer I’ll stick with the current line instead, Nuggets -5.5.

[stadus]

nice hit, 59-52 (53.15%)


Love the OKC vs Celtics game today, but I’m not really confident picking the spread so I’m going with the total instead.

I feel like this game could turn into a defensive battle, especially since both teams might finish as the number 1 seed in the West and East. This could even be a possible NBA Finals matchup later on.

My pick here is under 216.5.

[stadus]

My pick here is under 216.5.

The 2nd half really helped because neither team scored more than 25 points in a quarter, so the game ended up hitting the under.

It was also a memorable night for SGA as he passed Wilt Chamberlain for the record of consecutive 20+ point games that had stood for about 63 years, at least that’s what the commentator mentioned during the game.

So it was a good night overall and I’m celebrating this win as well.
With that my record now is 60-52 (53.57%).


Tomorrow, i have Minnesota -6.5

[stadus]

Tomorrow, i have Minnesota -6.5

and we are hot, another good win, 61-52 (53.98%) current record.


Tomorrow we have the San Antonio Spurs vs Charlotte Hornets. I know the Hornets are currently playing well, but I’m thinking the Spurs will bounce back with a win here after losing to Denver Nuggets. Prior to that they were 9-1 in their last 10 games, so I’m confident they can win and cover the spread.

my pick, Spurs -5 at home
