    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Thursday, 11/06/08
    Starting Saturday (November 1), we will start a November Hoops Parlay Contest with a grand prize of a $200 cash account at BetPhoenix, 3 time roll-over. Second Place will be a $50 account and last place will receive a $25 BetPhoenix account with a 3 time roll over. If there is a tie for last place in both units and game-by-game record (15 parlay minimum), the last place prize will be divided equaly.

    *IMPORTANT*
    All players must have an account at BetPhoenix to be prize eligible Sign up here

    To be eligible to win prizes, all players must PM their BetPhoenix account ID to SBRforum Staff NO LATER than 6:00pm ET on Wednesday, November 5!


    1. Check in the NBA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 1:00 p.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.

    2. Posted spreads and totals are the only eligible plays for grading, no Money Lines or Halves allowed. NBA and NCAA Men's Colege Basketball will be included.

    3. Two-game parlay picks, laying 10 to win 26. Post entire parlay at same time, no open parlays.

    4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up! The write-up does not have to be long, just a sentence or two about why you are making your play. If need be, please refer to prior month's contests for examples.

    5. Entries that are past-post or do not have analysis for both games will be NO ACTION. Once your two-team parlay has been posted, you CANNOT change either play. Any edited post will count as a *-LOSS! If you make a mistake (such as leaving out "Over" or "Under" or not clearly stating your selection), need to add analysis or wish to enter corrected lines, do so in a separate post. This holds true even if the first game on the schedule did not tip off yet. It also holds true for past-posts and entries with no analysis. It does NOT hold true for posts that are not parlay selections, i.e. standings, commentary posts or congratulatory posts. Any player with two edit violations during the course of the contest shall be ELIMINATED FROM PRIZE ELIGIBILITY.

    *-EXCEPTION: If someone edits a post on the last day of the competition in an attempt to get an automatic loss in order to win the Last Place prize, then the player will be credited with a WIN.

    6. And here’s the fine print:

    • Must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
    • One entry per household and IP address.
    • Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
    • Maximum one parlay pick per day, minimum 15 parlay plays required to be eligible for monthly prize.
    • Tiebreaker for prizes - Win % of individual parlay legs. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head parlay match until winner determined.
    • All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
    • SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

      76ers/Magic Under 192.5
      both teams were plagued with turnovers their last games. i would assume both squad would play 'tight' by taking care of the ball. in effect, running down the clocks. if my assumption is right, under is the right play here. granted magic doesnt knock that much 3 pointers. 1h under should also look good. *o/u trend so far for both squad is an identical 1-3.

      Rockets -4.5 vs Blazers
      rockets ownz blazers (last season 4-0). and this is basically the same blazers (lineup) that they will play against. and then add artest to the mix. what's there not to like? :P also, this is the first game on their road trip that includes lakers, suns and spurs. im sure they'd like to put this game in the bag as early as possible. so 1h bet on the rockets should be a safe bet also.

        Orlando (Orlando took 7 of the last 9 games between these two clubs. Orlando is getting decent points from all 5 of its starters. This game could be a blowout)


        Houston (Houston has won the last 5 games between these two teams. My system says Houston -9 so they get the call)

            orlando-5,hous under 182

            orlando is far better at this point, and houston and port should keep it low scoring

              Not part of the contest but just posting.

              Magic -5
              Rockets -4.5

              Reasons:
              * The 76ers are a huge joke on the road plus Magic are the better team.
              * The Rockets have a tough road schedule which include the Lakers and Suns. They have to do themselves a favor by beating a beatable Blazers.

                Portland Trailblazers +5 Under 182

                Home team takes the game tonight, not a very high scoring one though.

                  Philly/Orlando over 193.5 - Similar to last night's philly game, but hopefully Philly's offense remembers to show up and put this over the number

                  Houston/Portland under 182 - definite half court game, hopefully Portland's D isn't completely awful and can keep this under the number

                    I also thought Houston -4.5 underestimates Houston's superiority over Portland.

                      Orl o 193.5 Both teams are more apt to win when they play uptempo.

                      Por +5 Portland is much better and plays teams a lot closer at home.

                        Houston -5: More talent and Portland played last night.

                        Philly/Orlando Over 193.5: Orlando is rested, Philly played last night. This shouldn't have trouble going over.

                          Houston Rockets Over 182: both have been in relatively high scoring games. hoping the trend continues

                          Oralndo Magic Under 193½ : A little more D in this game should keep it under.

                            702 Oralndo Magic -5. Magic should be 13 point favs, philly blows on the road
                            702 Oralndo Magic Under 193½. A Magic blowout equals an under.

                              Houston -5 . Coming off a though loss to boston look for them to rebound nicely here..

                              Magic -5 . better team that is coming off rest..

                                Orlando -5: Philly's 3rd game in 4 days while Orlando has had 2days off.

                                Philly/Orlando over 193.5: Both teams shot lousy in their last games and so far the O/U is 2-7 combined. Orlando shoots the second most 3's in the league so hopefully they hit a lot of them tonite and break through with an over win.

                                  Phil +5 : Phillys guard play will be the difference

                                  Hou/Port ov 182 : Portlands only chance is to run-n-gun

                                    Houston Rockets -5 I think Houston wins but will cover with Free throws at the end of the game!

                                    1 Philadelphia 76ers Over 193½, both teams should be in the 100s in this game as long as phillys offense shows up!

                                          Rockets -5- LOVE THIS LINE- Who is going to guard Yao? Who is going to guard McGrady? Who is going to guard Artest? Portland is in for a shelling.

                                          Philadelphia/Orlando OVER 193.5- Alot of offense in this matchup and not much defense. I like both teams to end up in the triple digits.

                                            76ERS/MAGIC OVER 193.5: Yes, these teams are a combined 7-2 for the Under, but both teams are better offensively than they have shown, and the Over is 4-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings with the winner breaking 100 in all of those games.

                                            ROCKETS/BLAZERS UNDER 182: The Under is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings with neither team breaking 100 in any of those games, and I am looking for a carbon copy tonight.

                                                Philadelphia 76ers +5 should bounce back after a loss last night
                                                Portland Trailblazers +5 Better team than they showed last night.

                                                  76ers +5 - Philly's got the character to bounce back from last night's embarrassment

                                                  Rockets/Blazers Over 182 - Rockets look like a team that will tend to go over when healthy, especially in close games

                                                      I guess Philly really does struggle on the road. they couldn't defend for shit tonight.
