stormyseal9 said:Nowitzki over 22.5 1.85
Was that right or did you enter it wrong? 🤷 Because it's sitting at 24.5 now.
From what I can see, only SS has rebounds and assists listed? Such a shame...
And while every other sportsbook is offering points for West and Hibbert, of course our SS doesn't have them.🙂 But hey, we've got George. 🤣 If he's the second-best player on the Pacers, then screw it. These two are going to kill them under the rim.
As for the OKC rebounders, it's just Durantula—Ibaka is giving nothing. 🤣
Hibbert over rebounds and Westbrick under assists absolutely nuked the odds...
And yeah, too bad there aren't assists for Wade; he’s had a solid average all season.
@ graniteotter6, what's the move? 😁
New York over, Nelson over assists, Hibbert over rebounds, Granger over points, Dirk over rebounds? 🤷
graniteotter6 said:The favorites pulled thirteen wins here—yet we’re still sitting around making up excuses and imaginary scenarios. Great. We might as well just collectively commit suicide at this point, because a collapse like this? It won't happen again anytime soon.
Man, I didn't even see this many unders or handicaps coming.🙂
The trophies keep coming:🙂🙂
Of course I took the under instead of the handicap—and naturally, they score on a last-second possession. Typical.🙂
Whatever, I’m just going to play the Was 1X straight up; I've got my eyes on a smooth spread and the Miami under.🤣
Maybe some luck will finally swing the way of the PO during the playoffs...
Lawrence Castillo76 said:I get my news from Twitter. Reporters talk to the teams and leak what's happening.
From that HoopsHype site?
Lawrence Castillo76 said:Miami Heat starting five: Pittman, Haslem, Battier, Jones, Chalmers. Turiaf news.
Hmm. It’s already looking sketchy. Where did you even see that? Like, the Washington Wizards aren't resting anyone?
Lawrence Castillo76 said:Looks like the Orlando Magic starting lineup for tonight is set: Duhon, Wafer, Clark, Orton, and Hedo.
Orton and Hedo news—looks like Jameer and JJ aren't starting or even playing tonight. Honestly, I’d put money on JRich and Anderson news being the same. They probably won't suit up either.
Seriously, what were they thinking? They had to throw some random guy into the starting five who isn't even fully recovered yet. I mean, does this team actually only have two players on the bench? It’s ridiculous.
So, we're looking at the under then? Hopefully.🤷

Washington vs Minnesota betting line +6.5 -> definitely a loss 🙂
Minnesota under 100.5
LA Lakers under 98.5
Boston vs Milwaukee betting line
Houston vs New Orleans betting line
Bet this 5/6 parlay and you'll be thanking me later😍
Brooklyn Nets under? That looks like the safest bet to me.🤷
graniteotter6 said:Here's an over—Philadelphia 87. If they could hit 90 yesterday, they can hit 88 today.
Almost every game is an over—they've done it 10 out of 13 times. It’s like the final round of the World Cup or something.🤣
Man, it sucks that the Nets are playing Philadelphia. Holiday isn't playing today compared to yesterday, and there might be more "rest days" coming. Best to just skip this one.
Lawrence Castillo76 said:I don't know, man—with such a big stake on Washington, I'm getting nervous as the game approaches. Miami might actually show up and cover that 6.5 spread. I’m thinking about putting a decent amount on that too—maybe hit both if they land, which would be huge since I already snagged Washington at 1.95.
Honestly, looking at that Miami squad, who is even supposed to score?🤷
Is Chalmers playing?
graniteotter6 said:Missed the spread on Toronto—doesn't mean much, I guess, but... whatever. The feeling is there. We're gonna be looooom in two.
Didn't I already tell you—the Brooklyn Nets under is my first pick?🤣
And you're still betting on Philly. 😁
EDIT:
We were busy worrying about Dreker's passport instead of paying attention to Alan Anderson...🙂
crimsonangler1 said:tried everything to make it work, but just can't get the bet placed—that would've been the move for tonight 🙂 🙂
I'm hitting the sack—hope you guys all cash out big 👍
Thanks, man!
Maybe it's actually better if you didn't. 😁 Let me know tomorrow if things went better.
graniteotter6 said:I was just playing on SS—everything is hitting, they gave me everything—but I’m too scared to write down what I played.
Screw it, here are my picks:
Philadelphia over (always stubborn)
LA Lakers under
Dallas under 🤦
Chicago over (glad I read this info last minute) 🤦
Utah betting line - this one caught my eye because it's basically an exhibition game without the actual ice, yet Utah consistently clears 100 against these guys.
More parlays—smaller stakes—and you don't have to worry. No brainer.
Completely different from the rest...😁
But you're good, solid material.👍 Only thing is, Philly smells a bit fishy if it turns into a grind, and with Detroit, you can never tell.
And now this news about them not playing against the Bulls—though that might not mean anything.
EDIT: Brooklyn Nets started off strong.🤣
crimsonangler1 said:The bastards won't let me place any bets 🙂
Going to sleep before I punch my monitor in frustration because of these idiots 🙂
How much are you dumping on it?😁
Lawrence Castillo76 said:If you're having issues with SS-A, just try logging out and back in again.
I placed a bet on SS-A just a little bit ago—didn't run into any problems at all.
crimsonangler1 said:These guys are rejecting everything I throw at them—even the stuff starting at 2🙂
And when exactly are you even allowed to place bets with them?
Lawrence Castillo76 said:I knew you couldn't go past 23 in the lottery, but as for Fortune? I have no clue—what a total disaster.
Man, this is exactly why we're stuck dealing with SS-A. How’s the situation looking with Favorite? From what I can see, they’re padding their margins pretty heavily—definitely not worth opening an account for. They're asking for a current number too, and since I couldn't get it through MoneyBookers, I just tossed a little something into Fortune instead.
Keith Moore21 said:Rose, Deng, and Korver. out What's the move for tonight against Cleveland?
Man, I just need the Under to hit here—all we need is for them to stay under at halftime and we're golden.🤣
Lawrence Castillo76 said:Yeah, look, I don't know if I saw two wrong pieces of info from that source, but I've been following them for two seasons now.
Man, yeah—no mistake there. You just have to wait until the absolute last second. At least then you're sure. Take me, for example—I have an account with Fortune, but they don't let you place bets after 11:55 PM. When that happens, the info is basically useless.
Lawrence Castillo76 said:Look, Dana Baker2, I’m fine with most of this—I'd probably bake it into a system—except for that Charlotte Bobcats - New York under. As a massive Knicks fan, I’ve watched like 90% of their games this season, and since Chandler isn't playing today, their defense is an absolute disaster. They're giving up points left and right. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if the Bobcats end up near a hundred points after a century of trying.
Yeah, I already pointed out the Knicks might be feeling some pressure under the rim, but does it really look like the Bobcats are a team that can actually capitalize on that?🙂 Maybe Noah Mullens can chip in with something, but everyone else is just noise. The Knicks will likely take this one—mostly because of the home atmosphere and the fact that the 7th seed in the East is still up in the air. If they clinch that spot, there's no way they give up a ton of points. With this roster, they physically can't even if they were playing the Bobcats.
I'm telling you, there's a pattern here. 😁 We need to spot it before it's too late...😉
What else looks like a potential sucker bet to you?
I could probably pull 5 or 6—maybe 7—different types out of my hat per hour.
Where’s my buddy graniteotter6? Once we're all on the same page, this goes smoothly. 🤣
Man....🤣
-------------------------
Anyway, back to business.
Out of all these "trap" games tonight, I'm pulling out a few picks that actually look solid. It’s definitely an unders night—you just have to avoid a few specific minutes😁:
Golden State Warriors under 100.5/under 206.5>>
Looking at the lineups for tonight, this margin feels way too high to me. Sure, the Spurs are the most efficient squad out there, but they're missing their main Three-pointer threat and Neyland today—plus Blair will probably see limited minutes. On the flip side, the Warriors are totally stripped down; without their top shooters, they'll likely be playing without Damon Wright, Tim Robinson, and Andris Biedrins. They're basically stuck with a 7-8 man rotation. And the biggest thing? This is a total "must lose" game for Golden State!😁>
Washington, D.C. -6.5/Miami Heat under 88.5>>
The Wizards have seriously stepped up their game late in the season, especially on defense, and they're riding a 5-game winning streak. Momentum is everything for a young group like this, so I expect them to close out the season with a win. We've seen plenty of times how much the Heat struggle when they're missing a Three-pointer (or even just one of them)—and now they're also without Javert Turiaf, plus Erik Spoelstra hinted at reduced minutes for Reggie Miller and Shane Battier. The Wizards are banged up without Andray Blatche and Devin Booker being out for a while, along with Tim Crawford, but having Nen Nenadic and a heavy-hitting youngster like Seraphin on the other side means they won't have any decent defense (just Pittman and that old guy J. Howard).
Charlotte Bobcats-New York Knicks under 187.5>>
It's confirmed: Mel, Amar'e Stoudemire, Chandler, and Davis are all out. Even though the Knicks' bench is one of the better ones, these absences leave them incredibly thin in the paint. The Bobcats managed to scrape together over 90 points yesterday, and they'll probably want to play with some dignity in this final game. Even a depleted Knicks squad wouldn't mind a loss here, as it might help them avoid the Bulls (though I don't buy a Philadelphia 76ers win either). Because of that, I'm expecting a toss-up, likely a narrow Knicks win.
Minnesota Timberwolves under 100.5>>
The Nuggets are hunting for that 6th seed spot behind the Wolves, who have been falling apart for a while now and are just counting down the days until this miserable season ends. Denver is feeling discouraged after that loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and with their current rotation, I expect them to cruise against a Minnesota roster that's essentially just 7 or 8 players who are slightly less bad than the rest. In fact, I'm looking at a double-digit victory here. Even if Denver's defense isn't elite, I don't see this current Timberwolves roster putting up 100.
Chicago Bulls-Cleveland Cavaliers under 185.5 Chicago>>
Chicago is looking to validate being the best ratio in the league tonight, so they'll probably run their starters hard early before resting them later. Cleveland is in a tailspin, and they showed just how much they struggle to score last night at home against the Wizards. I don't see how they do anything significant against a Bulls team that only allows an average of 81.0 points at home. This game will likely be decided early, and then Chicago should just coast. The Cavs coach will probably give the bench guys more minutes to wrap things up.
Los Angeles Lakers under 98.5>>
I don't know if this is going to be *that* mine 😁, but this looks like an easy gift. In a game that's completely irrelevant, the Lakers will be without Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant, World trash, and Barnes! And we all know how deep their bench is... the Kings are playing nearly full strength (except for Thornton) and they need a win here. The Lakers have had 5 unders in their last 6 home games, and I think that trend continues tonight. We know they're defensive holes, but if they can't keep a roster like this under 90...
Boston Celtics-Milwaukee Bucks under 191.5>>
The Celtics are still in the hunt for home-court advantage, so they're going to come out swinging tonight. Rondo and Gannett are back, though Stiemsma is a question mark. The Bucks' season ended a long time ago, and besides that, they're missing several key pieces. You saw what happened last night when they could barely scrape together 85 points against a depleted Philly squad. They're likely missing Gooden, Ilyasova, Ellis, Delfino, and Udoh, and maybe a few others will get a rest too. With the kind of defense Boston plays, especially at home, I think they'll handle this quickly and easily. Maybe even_Boston -8.5.
New Jersey under 90.5/Toronto -5.5
Just another meaningless game where the Nets have zero presence on the court. They’re missing D. Wright, Sheldon Williams, Wallace, and Humphries—not to mention Farmer was already out. Toronto has been locking it down defensively lately, giving up almost nothing, and frankly, the Nets just don't have anyone capable of scoring today. 😁
Atlanta -4.5
Atlanta clinches home-court advantage with this win, so they’ll be playing with everything they've got. They've grinded through some tough matchups recently, but the form is there. Even though Dallas is fighting for the 6th seed in the West, Atlanta has the edge—mainly because Kidd and Terry are out, giving them a much deeper rotation. Plus, Dallas likely knows the Denver Nuggets aren't going to let Minnesota slip into that spot.
Memphis-Orlando under 185.5
Orlando has already locked up the 6th seed, so they're heading into Memphis with absolutely zero motivation. The Grizzlies are looking to secure HCA, so the math is simple. With Davis sidelined, Orlando's offense is gutted—you could see them struggling against the Charlotte Bobcats yesterday—and Memphis' defense isn't going to give them any favors. It's highly likely Van Gundy sits some guys. Memphis takes this easily, and they might even rest the starters in the second half.
Houston is without Camby and Parsons (on top of Lowry being out), while New Orleans is missing Gordon and probably Smith. Under 188.5 looks pretty realistic here too.
Now you all try to find a winner in this mess... 😂
Lord help me with this Sistemčić. 😁
Jason Baker59 said:@fluminense: if I recall correctly, he needs 38 more just to catch up to Kevin Durant🤷
He needs 48—don't even bother watching. He isn't even going to play.😉
Frank Morgan30 said:Yeah, I think I read something like that—something about how they need a win just to avoid being the absolute worst team ever recorded with that pathetic record, or something along those lines. That’s why I said to correct me, since I wasn't 100% sure.
Aha, my bad. You've used that bolded text before, so I thought you were talking about this current season...😂
Frank Morgan30 said:I have no idea what they should even play.
That's why doing nothing is the best move! Honestly, I think that's exactly how it's going to go for me too.😁
