Get it now? Total misunderstanding.😉
Anyway, can someone tell me how this works regarding deposits into the sportsbook using Moneybookers?
graniteotter6 said:Tips are just a crutch if you're missing a couple of picks—maybe two—but if someone drops a solid analysis or a valid argument, you might pick up a play you'd otherwise miss.
The call has to be yours alone, because at the end of the day, it's your money.
Look, obviously. I analyze plays, and then I decide which ones to actually put down. If someone else thinks something is going to hit before anything else does, I'll grab it. That’s why I’m asking. 🙂I mean, what else are we even doing here?
But I still don't get what your post is even trying to say.😂
Alex Cook said:Hmm, over on DraftKings, Bargnanian's over is priced at @1.77 (21.5% margin), while Pinnacle has it at @2.01 (20.5%). For those interested, DeRozan is sitting at an 18.5 point margin on DraftKings.
Can you actually parlay player props against each other on DraftKings?
rapidmarlin79 said:Did you find that 8.5 hand? 😲😲 As far as I know, BetMGM is the only one carrying it—and even then, you're looking at 1.6 odds.
Bet at Home. Man, Ali Bagra absolutely tore through every single game tonight—total demolition.🙂 What the hell is this?
Online bookies are absolute trash. Total scammers.

That’s why I’m finally pulling the trigger and depositing at DraftKings. On a side note—I noticed you can actually use a debit card now instead of having to deal with those old-school paper slips or trekking down to a physical location. Can someone who’s actually done this give me the quick rundown? It looks like it goes through a third-party processor like Skrill. Do I have to sit around waiting for it to show up on my bank statement just to grab some random transaction code and deal with all that other bullshit?
Looks like there's an option to use Skrill—or just go straight from your card through Skrill.
How’s the payout looking? Does it hit the account immediately?
Just keep it brief, please.🙏

graniteotter6 said:So, who’s actually getting a shot at moving forward? Have you sat down and tallied which teams are getting the most hype?
Look, I’m not trying to pick a fight with you—I’m just saying—but for me, there are three specific points in what you wrote that fall squarely into my "don't even go there" category. But hey, that’s just my two cents.
Let's get specific—Duncan, Love, and the Clippers.
I’m sorry—I honestly have no clue what you're trying to say here.
What recommendations are you even talking about? Where did I even mention Duncan or Love? I said I wasn't ready to dive into player analysis yet.
Arthur Hill2 said:They could play it safer with Duncan and set his line under 15.5.
Garnett's gonna be guarding him—he’s one of the best defenders in the league and he’ll definitely give Timmy a hard time trying to push past 15 points. Plus, seeing Duncan play last night just adds more fuel to this pick.
Not much playing time—only 23 minutes—but honestly, better that way 🤣 (2/6 - 7 makes).
Might as well jump in since the playoffs are creeping up...😁
Because I've been being lazy—😂I haven't even touched my online sportsbook accounts until tonight. Last night a 9-leg parlay hit 👍, the night before I missed a 2-point spread on the Jazz by just two buckets (odds were 13)—so yeah, time to change that pattern.
I’m not diving into individual player props yet for the reason mentioned above—until the playoffs hit, I’m just playing small stakes on Betway, and those damn sites don't even offer player points in their selection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway...
Tonight's slate isn't great, and honestly, like you guys said, injuries are going to be the deciding factor here. Wade, Iguodala, Bynum, Kidd, Harris, Barrea... depending on who actually suits up, anything could happen.
1. Atlanta vs. Charlotte under 186.5
The Bobcats are bottom-feeders right now, and they're playing without their best guy, Maggette. Meanwhile, Atlanta is desperate to lock down a decent playoff seed, so they shouldn't have any issues today. Charlotte put up 87 in Toronto yesterday, and the Raptors aren't exactly known for having a brick wall of a defense. I don't see Atlanta letting them run up the score like that. Plus, I doubt we see a blowout because the Hawks' bench is paper-thin lately; they've been struggling at home.
2. Boston vs. San Antonio under 192.5
A matchup of "old timers" in Boston should probably end that way—low scoring. The Spurs play great and can score, but Boston at home is a different animal. They win games specifically because of their defense. Just look at how they held Miami to 72! And Allen is back in the lineup.
3. Miami vs. Oklahoma under 196.5
After that absolute demolition a few nights ago, the Heat are definitely looking to carry that momentum. We'll have to wait and see what's happening with Wade, but regardless, I think Miami wins this one solely on the defensive end. The Thunder dropped 103 in their last game, but that was basically decided early on. I'm expecting both teams to hover around the 90 mark.
4. Clippers vs. Lakers 1 1.80
The Lakers are a completely different squad on the road (and honestly, they haven't looked great at home recently either 😁), while the Clippers are dominant in their own building—even if they've been a bit hit-or-miss lately (like that blowout win against Dallas on the road). A city rivalry provides enough motivation, and besides, this is a direct battle for the 3rd seed in the West. It's uncertain if Bynum plays, but even if he does, he probably won't see much meaningful time. The Clippers' strength lies in their scoring depth.
Now for a couple of long shots from the "Worth a shot" category:
Dallas vs. Memphis 2 2.85/Memphis +5.5
"My" Grizzlies are finally starting to wake up 😛 (they're gonna be trouble in the playoffs), and Dallas hasn't been anything special lately. They're missing Kidd, and Odom is a question mark. Memphis has taken three out of four from them this year, and even though their schedule is tough right now, taking the points seems worth the gamble.
Minnesota vs. Golden State/+8.5
The home team is unfortunately decimated by injuries. Pekovic is back, but they're without their primary playmaker (Barrea is questionable for tonight). Neither team has a prayer for the playoffs. The Warriors lost a game they should have won in Memphis, and even the Lakers had trouble with them. The stats favor the visitors too, 3-1 this season. I think they cover the spread at the very least.
Utah vs. Phoenix/+6.5
That wild, unpredictable Phoenix squad rarely fails to break 100, but the question is whether anyone can actually stop them. Utah will likely be without Harris, and their home loss to Sacramento 😠 just shows how thin their roster really is. This is also a fight for the 8th seed in the West. Phoenix has swept them 3-0 this season! Like the picks above, this is a pure flyer for the bold!😁
Look, I'll leave it to the veterans here to tell me if any of this actually holds water!
Sorted!🙂
DraftKings has NBA player props for over/under bets—it looks like I just happened to be checking during the final stretch of the regular season when they pulled them because the stars were all sitting out to rest.
I'll stick with DraftKings then.
Joshua Garcia8 said:Just look at whatever online sportsbooks you like. Signing up is pretty much the same across the board—you'll just need to upload some ID before they let you cash out. Deposits and withdrawals are usually fast and easy if you use something like Venmo or a Visa debit card.
I have no idea what you mean by "last minute."
By "last minute," I mean betting right before tip-off. Like, in the NBA, it’s huge when you find out ten minutes before the game starts that a star player is sitting out. At that point—if you're trying to bet from home in the morning—hitting a local sportsbook is basically impossible. That's what I'm talking about.
I'm asking if anyone has experience here, specifically with the NBA—player prop bets, like points scored—because that's the whole reason I'd even bother opening an account. I haven't seen those kinds of props on the sites I've checked out so far.
Also, I'm asking because getting money in and out isn't seamless everywhere in the States. I know how it works with DraftKings (I have an account there), but I don't know how the others handle it.
So, yeah, if anyone can give me the specifics on NBA player props...
I've been hunting for fake NBA jerseys—you know, the knockoffs—for ages now, but I can't find them anywhere at the local markets. Checked around cities like Miami and Phoenix, but nothing. Still, I see people out there wearing them—they definitely aren't 100% authentic.
So, if anyone knows where to look...
You can find soccer jerseys in every single corner shop, but for some reason, NBA gear is nowhere to be found. Maybe basketball isn't quite as huge here, but surely someone would step up to sell them—at least the jerseys for the most popular players.
Thanks

Look, just because someone bets online doesn't mean they're all playing player props for NBA betting. The guys over in the "NBA betting" thread—that's who I was actually asking about.
I’m actually curious if anyone here is even going to bother answering this—if not, should I just take this question back to that other thread?
Thanks!

Which online sportsbooks do people actually use for online betting? I'm talking about those situations where it's last minute or when the local brick-and-mortar shops are already closed for the night. Ideally, I need somewhere with a smooth registration process—deposits, withdrawals, the whole nine yards...
I have an account with Bwin (haven't touched it in ages), and I checked out Bet365, but they don't seem to offer player prop bets for points scored.
Can you also pull off some last-minute online action through Supersport? I know they launched online betting, but I have no clue how their system works regarding deposits and payouts.
