    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Thursday, 11/20/08
    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.

        Suns Under Both teams averages are 205 combine. Ill say the number hits that at max(pending no ot) and this game stays under! Lakers should try to run here, but I look for a slow style out of the suns and dont be shocked if neither team reaches the century Mark! One other key for this game Shaq avg 26 min Bynum 29 min a game. Both need to play those amount of mintues or more for my bet to hit! Im sure ill be one of the few in this contest to play this side of the total but ill take my chances!

        Detroit Pistons this is my favorite type of bet. The unrested team getting more points than they should vs the rested team. Grainte Boston is better, but mark my words only way Detroit doesnt cover is end of the game free throws or some crazy meaninless shot at the end of the game! Iverson gets his second look at the Celtics in a Pistion uniform and expect a much better game out of him as well! Key to this game Pistions are 4-3 with Iverson in the lineup now, and in the 3 losses as a team are shooting 36.6% from the field! In the 4 wins 47.0% I think when the game is over look at that stat and that will tell you if the pistions covered or not! GL

          Southern Illinois

          Last time they played at MSG in 68 against the Dukies they lost. Today they cover.

          Memphis (NCAA)

          Chattanooga is conciding 108.5 points per game which is close to 3 points per min. Memphis is conciding 60.5 points per game which is about 1.5 points per min.

            Xavier -2.5 : Sean Miller continues to have solid teams, i like their chances to win this tourney.

            LAL/Phoe ov 205 : just guessing, both these teams like to score, seems plausible to me.

              715 Missouri +2½. Missouri should be favored.
              703 Los Angeles Lakers -4½. Kobe wants to show Shaq who's boss.

                  Celts ov 181.5 I have this one going over by 11 points. The energy in the building will make for a close hard fought game, Garnett will be over the top coming back from the suspension and they Pistons will have to raise their level of play or get blown out. I can see this being a 98 to 95 game.

                  UCLA ov 127.5 I have the score capped at 139, very close game I actually have UCLA losing by one.

                    701 detroit +7. on national stage, pistons should keep it close
                    704 phoenix +4.5. suns should come out motivated for the same reason on national stage.

                        SOUTHERN ILLINOIS/DUKE UNDER 139.5: Southern Illinois is a typical MVC team that prefers to play at a slow pace, and the Salukis will probably have to slow this game to a crawl to give themselves any chance at a possible upset. Duke prefers to play up-tempo, but they are not afraid to get into a half-court game if they have to, especially since their defense has limited their first three opponents to just 37.1 percent shooting from the floor.

                        MICHIGAN +9.5: UCLA has looked a bit sluggish so far, not covering vs. Prairie View A&M and then beating Miami Ohio by just five points. Michigan is 2-0 ATS, winning their first two games by an average score of 76.5 to 55.5. The Wolverines keep this close.

                            Detroit/Boston under 181.5 - Should be a defensive half cout style game to stay under

                            LAL/Phoenix over 205 - THink this will be a pretty fast paced game, and both offenses have the potential to break out big to hopefully get this over

                                    Detroit+7- No reason to be giving this team that many points.

                                    Phoenix+4.5- They should not be getting points at home.

                                      Virginia Tech -9 --- ACC team vs. fairfield, seems like a no brainer

                                      Vanderbilt -6½ --- vandy is a good team, Illinois is not as good people think

                                        didn't realize that Vtech started earlier today, would have won ... instead replace with this play

                                        Oklahoma State -9 --- need another play and ok st. seems like it has a good matchup against a smaller school
