Happy Birthday @Nestabear, I hope your special day will bring you lots of happiness, love, and fun :)

A really entertaining game at Toyota Center (Houston), either team could have won but the Rockets finished the game with a 27-10 run and manage to get the 'W'; the Spurs won easily 125-87, the Clippers bad run continues and they need some kind of shock soon... We'll have 9 games tonight and I settled on 2 picks(maybe I'll come back later with a few more suggestions): Cleveland Cavaliers - Milwaukee Bucks Bucks(-5.5)@ 1.44Portland Trail Blazers - Toronto Raptors Raptors(-3.5)@ 1.97//all odds on Unibet GL :Cash:

Well done by backing the Celtics here 🆒👍:cash: Also, you can say that you were unlucky that the game went to overtime when the Celtics had enough chances in the 4th quarter to push the lead to 5+ points and win easily(the also went into the 4th Q having a 7 points lead)... the important thing was that you've managed to get those bets Green 🆒 PS. on the other hand my poor form on NBA continues and I feel like I should post my bets here and advice you guys to back the other teams 🤣 PS2. only 4 games tonight and the only pick I could think of was over 224.5 pts at Houston Rockets - Los Angeles Lakers@ 1.90 on Unibet, the odds on Spurs are tempting too as the Clippers struggled lately Spurs(-2.5)@ 1.90... GL if you go for either bet :)

I like 2 singles for tonight: Golden State Warriors - Toronto Raptors Warriors(-6.5)@ 1.91 on UnibetMemphis Grizzlies - Portland Trail Blazers over 211.5@ 3.20 on Unibet GL :Cash:

@Hothuw not tonight, but I've just woke up for the Golden State Warriors - Minnesota Timberwolves game and I might watch some other games ongoing too and maybe I'll try a few small bets... BTW, congrats on your 2 singles- close to win them both as I see that the Mavs have a 22 ponts lead 👍🆒 GL all with your bets :cash:

But at some matches this bets on player's performances are shown only a few hours before the starting time- but I guess this shouldn't be a big problem for you(I usually wait to see the comfirmed lineup before placing this kind of bets) :)

Hi @Duke and welcome to the community :) Yes, on Unibet you'll have a large offer to pick from and many players will have lines for points/ rebounds/ assists or special bets like double-double/ triple-double(less often) etc... You'll just have to pick the right bet, you won't lack betting options or bad odds on Unibet 🆒:cash:

@BillyR23 Thought about looking into if there's a correlation between different referee pairings and the average scores of matches compared to the expected? It's definitely a weird season with the new rule implementations, a bit too much I do agree :) @JeppeL if even the referees will be an important factor in picking the lines for O/U (or influence the winning team too often), I'll just stop betting on NBA or place small stake for fun... too much work to do to make constant profit on this league and I feel like there are better options out there- where with less effort you can get a better outcome :cash: But definetly is a thing to consider, so 👍 Jeppe for the suggestion :)

If we take the teams' stats into consideration, I would say over(I also prefer to bet on over in general in NBA): Denver scored 110.2 pts/ game and conceded 103.8 pts/ gameMemphis scored 103.5 pts/ game and conceded 102.7 pts/ game But if we look on the long inury list for both teams and the fact that the 2 teams played last month and the line was than at over 203.5 points and the game finished 89-87 for the Grizzlies, I would say better go for something else as there are many other interesting games tonight(maybe Indiana Pacers -7 (vs the Wizards)@ 1.91, Los Angeles Lakers -6.5 (vs the Heat)@ 1.89; or a double Pacers+Lakers@ 1.88 all odds on Unibet)... GL :Cash:

I'm praying he gets KK at some point and I'll misclik all in with any 2... we all know what will happen 🤣 Tonko left the table and a really fun player came instead, wish me luck and please don't give me KK 🤣

Almost missed this nice hand.. well played @GR1ZZL3R:Cool::Thumbsup::Cash:

I'm praying he gets KK at some point and I'll misclik all in with any 2... we all know what will happen 🤣

true, it's a tough table... I would leave and find a better one but I'm up to ~200BBs and I want a double up from tonko or hope that a whale joins the table lol

GG @Nestabear and yeah it was a close one but after a bad few days everywhere(poker, sportsbetting, casino) I need this ticket and now I'll just have to win UOS E39 with it 🆒:cash: GL all at the tables :) //except @GR1ZZL3R who's bullying me at NL4 :P

I can't find my words here, I expected at least 2 bets won :speechless: BTW, I even watched the games(or at least I've tried): the Wizards played baksteball for 5-6 minutes and than they just throwed the game away(I won't even use '' here because that was what happened- the visitors didn't put any effort and allowed the Cavs to win)... Pretty much same s**t at the Clippers with the difference that they played at home lol PS. like I said before, I don't mind losing bets but come on guys, at least pretend to give a f**k... it's not wrestling- I would hate if NBA becomes a scripted show with pre-determined outcomes put on for our entertainment.

I've studied the offer for tonight and ended up placing a few small single bets and I thought I'll share them here too: Cleveland Cavaliers - Washington Wizards Wizards(-3.5)@ 1.57Chicago Bulls - Boston Celtics Celtics(-4.5)@ 1.55Los Angeles Clippers - Miami Heat Clippers(-5.5)@ 1.52 //all odds on Unibet GL :Cash:

:Rofl: The links are great, saved the first one to listen while playing poker and the second one- Gotta love The Kurgan 🆒👍

It's so tough to bet on NBA nowdays... I didn't expect the modification of a few rules to change this league so much :speechless: I'm watching and betting on NBA for 10+ years and arguments to pick a bet(like b2b, PGs/ important players injury stat or form, home/away...) don't work anymore(or at least not like it used to) and sometimes it feels like it's a league were luck/ random/ referees 'mood' is more important than stats/ roster/ team's form etc... Live betting works (IMO) a bit better than prematch but still isn't worth it as now we see so often teams that play well for 3 quarters and have a 10+ points lead(sometimes even 20+ points lead) and everything crumbles in the 4th quarter and they somehow 'manage to lose' the game. Most of the matches are more entertaining than they used to be last few seasons(tho bets on over don't work either... look at Bucks vs Warriors game where the line was at 240 points and we barely had 200 points... now you might think you can exploit the lines with bets on under and pick a game played by Memphis for example- where the line is always around 200 points- but than you get a 250 points game- lol- it's just too random), so if you're here just to watch the matches for fun it's worth it but if you want to make profit too, than be prepared to put a lot of effort in watching the games and learn again what it takes to be succesful in this league. PS. I'll still watch and bet on NBA but for now I'll stick mostly with livebetting, so I won't post too many picks here as I'm not confident I can make profit with bets prematch ATM and don't want to make you guys lose money too(hopefully I'll find the 'winning formula' soon and we'll get back making profit on this thread too like many other succesful threads on the community),GL all with your bets and/ or at the tabels :cash:

McCollum (ankle) is out Thursday against the Suns, so even tho IMO the over looks good, I think it would be better to place a bet on Damian Lillard performance tonight: Lillard over 27.5 pts@ 1.65 on Unibet GL :cash:

Unfortunately the Clippers didn't continue the good form showed in the 3rd Quarter and we didn't get 3/3 for the night, still good results and let's try to continue with a single bet for tonight: Portland Trail Blazers - Phoenix Suns Over 215.5@ 1.90 on Unibet GL :Cash:

After a slow 1st half where they shot just around 30% and trailed by 16 pts, the Clippers started well the 2nd half with an 11-0 run; plus the Grizzlies have many players with foul trouble(Jackson, Temple with 4 PF; Green, Anderson with 3 PF )... *score update Grizzlies back in the lead 65-61 and the odds on the visitors to win is now 2.55 on Unibet - I think it's worth trying even more now that the odds are higher GL :cash:

Great 2nd half for the Warriors and they managed to win easily 129-105 Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Clippers livebet 51-51 3rd Quarter Clippers to win@ 1.97 on Unibet

And I recommend big stake on: Los Angeles Lakers - San Antonio Spurs Lakers(-3.5)@ 1.45 on Unibet GL :cash: PS. I might come back with 1-2 livebets if I see value somewhere and if it's a break(this way some members might see it in time)

Let's get back to work :cash: Cleveland Cavaliers - Golden State Warriors livebet HT Cavs lead 64-58 Warriors(-4.5)@ 1.89 on Unibet

I played the last 2 UO finals and was so close to qualify each time but rip RNGJesus 😞 Here this guy was the bully at the table but IMO a pretty good player... I min open UTG and got a 3-bet from him- what are my options here?! (1) fold- No- maybe vs a rock but this guy was LAG (2) call- No- maybe if I had AKs but I felt like with my AKo I'll check/fold too often and didn't want to let him get the pot with something like AXs(where 'X' can be anything from 2 to Q) (3) 4-bet shove- he still had 25 BB behind so I thought/ hoped he'll fold- I expected him to call pretty tight here(AA, KK, AK and maybe QQ- I block the hands I expect him to call with... for my surprise he calls with TT and GG :/ Tonight I felt pretty good: got the 200 BB in PLO easily... a few good results at other sites and thought I'll late reg the final and give it a second try because there were only around 20 players left with 8 places paid and I liked my chances even tho I would have started with under 20 BB (the blinds increases at 15 minutes, so I thought I'll have enough time to see what type of players I have at my table or I'll get a premium hand and try to double up). I had more than enough time to make opinions of all the players from my table(I played just this tournament to make sure I don't miss anything) and Leo who busted me was a maniac: he limped or opened(2x, 3x or random amount) from any position- for example he limped 23o and doubled up after a 23T flop where the chips got in(his opponent had JTs)... he called shoves with A3o etc... so pretty much the player you want at the table *if he doesn't run like a god... he was the reason I decided to open shove my AA even tho I usually just min open here and hope for a 3-bet or a shove: I just didn't want let Leo to play his 23o or any random cards and put me in a tough spot on a bad flop... to be honest he called with a decent hand(with his stack I would have called too) and hit F PS. I still have 1 more bullet for next Sunday but for sure won't play with the ninja-cat avatar maybe it's cursed lol GL at the tables and see you all in the HexaPro pool :Cash:
