    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Sunday, 2/8/09
    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.

        St.Peter's: I don't understand why Canisius is favored by 6 points with their best player out and St. Peter's being a spread covering machine.

        Illinois: Purdue is missing their best defensive player and Illinois is unbeaten at home. Painter was Weber's assistant at SIU and the teacher will beat the student.

          St. Johns +10.5 : the cardiac Cards will be trying a new format, or so Pitino says. too many points for a team needing a win and playing at home. St. Johns keeps it close.

          Bos -8 : the Celtics on national TV, and KG should be feeling better by now, i look for a statement game.

                Illinois -2.5 vs Purdue.............Purdue is the better team, but home court in the Big 10 is huge and will be enough to put Illinois on top when the buzzer sounds.

                N Iowa -1.5 vs Creighton.........Much like the above game, almost mirrors it in my opinion. Home court makes a huge difference, plus this is not the usual Creighton team we are used to seeing.

                  802 Boston Celtics -6½ - Boston shouldn't lose two in a row at home.

                  807 New Jersey Nets +11½ - This is a lot of points when the Nets have picked up their game recently.

                    Dayton/Charlotte UNDER 128 - A team with below average scoring ability but incredible defense against a mediocre team--I think the under here is solid.

                    Rhode Island +5 - I watched Temple play Xavier last night and learned two things: if Christmas doesn't go off--they're going to lose the game; their 7-footer looks like he weighs 185 pounds. I expect Rhode Island to come into Temple and maybe win this game outright.

                      Los Angeles Lakers +5: To many matchup problems for the Cavs in this game. Lakers win outright by 4+!

                      New Jersey Nets +11½: Magic are struggling to find there groove ever sense Nelson has gone down. Should be a close game,and enough to cover!

                          Celtics -6.5

                          With ol' Ginobili @ less than 100% for this game,
                          Boston easily covers.

                          Jazz -1

                          Utah wins their latest shoot-out with the Warriors.

                              Lakers +5 This game will be decided by the refs. If they hold lebrons hand and let him blatently disregard the rules of basketball in an effort to create the next michael jordan for marketing purposes then cleveland will win. If its just a normal basketball game then lakers will win outright.

                              Phoenix Suns +1½ Lazy pistons wont want to run with phoenix on the second night of a back to back. The X factor is Amare. Will the trade rumors with the pistons entice him to play his best or will he intentionally lay an egg to ward off the suitors.

                                LOUISVILLE/ST. JOHN'S OVER 132: These teams combined for just 127 points in their first meeting this season at Louisville, but the St. John's offense is much better at home, where they average 69.5 points per game on 45.7 percent shooting. Louisville averages 73.6 points overall, and although that average slips a bit to 69.2 points on the road, that should still be enough to push this game Over.

                                MARYLAND +2.5: Georgia Tech got very fortunate the last two games, as they upset Wake Forest right after Wake beat Duke and they covered vs. Flordia State right after the Seminoles had an emotional three-point loss to North Carolina. Maryland is in no such letdown spot here and the Terrapins are simply the much better team and should bring the Yellow Jackets back down to earth.

                                  I expect this to go down to the wire lakers either win or lose on last second shot

                                  814 New Orleans Hornets -3
                                  I expected a much higher line with the way wolves been playing lately

                                    Lakers will win this game straight up and break the Cavs perfect season at home.

                                    New Jersey/Orlando OVER 198.5

                                    A shootout where neither team plays defense.

                                      Virginia Tech -7½ : Hokies have a lot of work left to do on their at-large resume, a home loss to NC State is something they can't afford.

                                      Nets/Magic Over 198.5 Orlando's games have been going Over when they have a day's rest.

                                          Utah coming off of a tough cover against Sacramento and the Lakers beating and covering against the Celtics tell me both of these teams are about to have letdown games. Golden State wins outright, and the Cavs do what the Celtics should have done earlier in the week.

                                            Pacers over 212 Pacers and Wizards are both pretty much meaningless as basketball teams go as of now with the exception of Granger being the second best 3 in the East behind Pierce. So, why not have fun and score a bunch of points?

                                            Kings over 214 Kings and Thunder are both pretty much meaningless as basketball goes for now with the exception of the love affair that people have for Durant. Why not have fun and score a bunch of points?

                                                  I think Detroit wins tonight at home and game goes over. Phoenix has not been playing to good as of late.
