NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Aldridge is playing today, right?
Last time he was supposedly dealing with a virus—he only dropped 13 points, and I had him on the over. I guess I just didn't have that info 🙂

I think I stumbled onto a bit of a strange handicap today—New York (h+2.2) vs. Lakers 2 at 1.85 🙂... anyway, what are your guys' thoughts on how Oklahoma is looking for their game today?

I was trying to get a parlay going—specifically those system bets, the 2 and 3 out of 12 type deals—on all the NBA games tonight, but then this happens (both with the lottery and on SS):

The ticket didn't actually go through!
They basically said the combination hit its limit. They’re asking me to just pick some other set of games instead.

🙄

I just gave it another shot, and honestly, same story. As soon as I pull one pair out of the mix, it finally accepts it.

They’re trying to get me into Hattrick, I guess, but honestly, I just played through without the Bulls 2/11 anyway.

I still have some funds left in my account. $8.25 Oh, look at me being all clever now. If I had actually used my head, I probably would have played the Lakers, the Celtics, or Oklahoma. Maybe even the Trail Blazers, along with a few others—though honestly, I couldn't quite decide which ones to pick.

What are your thoughts on:
The Celtics, Lakers, and the Pistons being in a three-way deadlock?! It feels almost certain that things will shift significantly once x arrives.

I’m going with the Celtics +3.5 handicap—these two are just total jokes. 🤷

That's all I'm touching today

d. Williams @over 21.5 1.85
R. Westbrook @over 23.5 1.85

Fingers crossed this actually hits.

Boston
L. James
Detroit
The king—move forward.

Hey NBA experts, I’m curious—what are your odds on these matchups?

Boston Celtics 2 Toronto
New York Knicks-L. James 2
Wall J.(-16,5+)-Was-Mia over
Chicago Bulls 2 Charlott
Detroit-New Jersey 1

☕

I posted my ticket earlier, but I had to delete it because I forgot to clear out the stake amount first.

Lakers 2
Orlando 1
Wall over 16.5
Detroit 1

3/4 system—$10 stake at 5.5 odds

hahaha, so he's got the exact same thing rattling around in his head... what a coincidence... I might throw something down if it were a bigger play, but honestly, I have no clue what that would even be...

I've gotta say, I’m feeling pretty skeptical about the Lakers

Jamison (-16.5) Cleveland vs Milwaukee (Feb 11, 1:30 AM) More1.70
New York Knicks vs Lakers (Feb 11, 2:00 AM) 21.70

I don't know, I find Detroit way more suspicious than they do🤷

Wall over 16,5
James over 27,5
Toronto vs Boston (-3,5) 2
Granger over 18,5--actually hoping for more here
Love over 24,5--big night ahead
Paul Pierce over 18,5--if he's feeling it
Iguodala over 13,5 😍--maybe
Kobe Bryant over 28,5--obviously
New York City vs Lakers (-3,5) 2--just a hunch
Dwight Howard over 22,5--let's see

7/10

New Jersey Nets vs Detroit Pistons
Detroit @ 1.75 - 9/10 - Pinnacle
Detroit -8.5 @ 3.3 - 1/10 - DraftKings

There is something I am wondering about... you have laid everything out quite nicely here, and I suppose I will follow along with these picks, but I am a bit confused. Major sportsbooks like DraftKings and others have access to all this same information, yet they are still offering odds of 1.75. It doesn't seem to make much sense to me, and I can't help but feel like there might be something fishy going on. I mean, these betting houses aren't exactly foolish; based on this analysis of Detroit, an odd of 1.40 would practically be a gift, so why are they sitting at 1.75?🤷 😲

I mean, these bookies aren't idiots, because based on this breakdown for Detroit, 1.40 would be a total gift, yet they're stuck at 1.75 😲

I put my money down too... maybe those odds are that high simply because Detroit isn't one of those flashy teams everyone obsesses over, you know, like Miami, OKC, the Lakers, or Dallas? Let's just hope luck is on our side.

In case anyone happens to be unaware...
