    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Friday, 2/6/09
    Starting Monday (February 2), we will start a February Hoops Parlay Contest with a grand prize of a $125 cash account at Legendz, 2 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 Legendz account with a 2 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 Legendz to be prize eligible Sign up here

    To be eligible to win prizes, all players must PM their Legendz account ID to SBRforum Staff NO LATER than 6:00pm ET on Monday, February 2!


    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 2:00 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.

      Marquette (Marquette has won the L7 between these 2 teams. USF is just horrible)


      Orlando (Orlando has won the last 5 meetings between these 2 teams, and Indy played last night giving Orlando a edge)

            Boston Celtics UNDER 207
            Charlotte Bobcats -2


            The Celtics would have covered the UNDER last night if not for overtime. They are due for an UNDER. Atlanta coming off of a covering win last time out is ready to get stomped by an inferior yet hungry Charlotte team.

              GSW +9.5 - they rolled on the Suns in the last meeting and are over rated
              Portland -5 - OKC plays well at home but Portland is laying some big wins on the road

                    New York Knicks +6.5
                    Boston is coming off a playoff experience atmosphere in OT.

                    Golden State/Phoenix UNDER 230.5
                    Just seems too high. Although the other was this high, I don't see it happening again.

                      Thanks LT Profits and Junkyard dog

                      Cornell Over 127

                      Princeton is shooting 50% from the field in last 5 games and Cornell is scoring points by the truck load. Both games ended over this number last year and Princeton is much more better in offense this year.

                      St. Peter's +16

                      I have St.Peter's rated as the 3rd best team in this conference. Since Niagara is 2nd I don't think they can cover that big of a spread.

                        HAWKS/BOBCATS UNDER 184: This total has plummeted in real life as it looks like Joe Johnson will miss the game for Atlanta with a virus. Even when these teams are at full strength, the Under is 4-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings.

                        CLIPPERS +5: This is a rare winnable game for the Clippers, as the Grizzlies are only 13-35 themselves including a woeful 10-17 at home. Memphis is also coming off of an upset win over the Rockets, so they may let down here, which may be all the Clips need to pull an outright upset.

                            South Florida +9, odd night for a top team, Marquette, to play on the road.


                            Washington Wizards +6½, Denver and a slowed Billups equals trouble.

                              It is still early for Pavy, he could miss his next 11 plays. Enough already. This is gambling, here today gone today.

                                #854 Indy +6.5 : basically fading the public, but Indy played them at home back around Thanksgiving and took a 2 point loss, so i could see them keeping it close again.

                                #860 OKC +5 : OKC has done well ATS this season.

                                  Oklahoma City Thunder +5
                                  OK City has been playing much better ball lately than they did early on in the season. I don't expect a win here, but I do expect OK City to keep it close. I think the line should be more like +1.5 or +2 with the stats I am seeing, however, leave it to the public to give a nice line. GO OK CITY!

                                  Sacramento Kings +2½
                                  Everyone is insisting this line is WAY OFF. I might be one of the few that think this line is dead on, and will also have a small play on Kings ML. Utah just isn't the team it can be with it's injuries, and as well they don't play well as well on the road. Also seems like a nice jump back game for Sacramento after being whooped by Phoenix. They can take advantage of the Jazz here on their back 2 back games.

                                    boston over 207. knicks style should dictate this over.
                                    denver over 205.5. Both teams like to push up, so fast tempo game.

                                      OK City u 201 I have this one at 197, the trends back me up over the long haul. Neither team is really a over team they have been putting up numbers lately, which skews things.

                                      Suns u 230.5 I have this one at 211, the Warriors are not a road over team. If Phoenix jumps them early they will struggle to reach 100. The trends back me up here. The previous game skews this one as well.

                                        Clippers +5 Memphis isn't good enough to be giving anyone 5 pts.

                                        Kings +2.5 Utah has already beat them 2 times this yr by DD. Kings were embarassed earlier this week, won't be 2 times in 1 week.
                                        If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

                                        I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

                                          854 Ind Pacers +6.5 They are 2-0 as a home dog getting 6.5-9 they can put pts up in a hurry at home. I like the Pacers on the ML here to.

                                          868 Phoenx Suns over 230.5 Pts will be put up wild and whacky in this one...this would be a great game to watch.

                                            Columbia +5.5 vs Penn……………As much as Penn has controlled the Ivy League, this is finally a year where teams like Columbia have a chance to beat them. I am not so sure Penn is even the better team this year, so I love the six points. All the Penn has going for them is home court, and I don’t think that will be enough.

                                            Marquette -9 vs S Florida........Hate going against home dogs, but Marquette if their heads are on straight can name this score. They are that much better.

                                              With most of their starters back this one should be easy.
                                              Celtics -6.5
                                              Boston should show up to play after a disappointing OT loss to the Lakers I see them blowing out the Knicks tonight.

                                                Cornell -7½ - Cornell should beat this weak Princeton team by 10+.

                                                Fairfield +1½ - If Gadley has back problems this game, Fairfield will win this game SU.

                                                    NBA

                                                    Fri 2/6 867 Golden State Warriors +9½ Over 230½
                                                    10:35PM (EST) 868 Phoenix Suns -9½ Under 230½

                                                    Can they set this line high enough? These teams total in the 230s once again.

                                                    NCAAB

                                                    Fri 2/6 877 Marquette -9 Over 136
                                                    7:00PM (EST) 878 South Florida +9 Under 136

                                                    Marquette gets another hard earned road victory in the Big East, just not by double digits. So Fla + the points here.

                                                      Atlanta Hawks +2 Simply don't understand how atlanta is not favored here. Charlotte is awful, and just cant get it together.

                                                      POR/OKC Under 201 Portlands D holds OKC to a low score. I wish I had noticed this line when it was at 201, already down to 198.

                                                                  GSW/Phx over 230.5 - Still think this is a few points too low with the chances of both teams blowing up on offense, neither team giving effort on D, and the very high number of possessions. Obviously one 42 point quarter kills this, but I'll take my chances they get one into the 70's and stay out of the 40's.

                                                                    879 St. Peter's +16 - St. Peter's aren't so bad that they should be getting this many points. They definitely aren't consistent enough to trust 100%, but I think they can hang for awhile. 16 is a big number.
