    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Friday, 2/20/09
    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.

              Thunder +9: Thunder are 64% ATS this season and they continue to play hard, even vs. the heavyweights of the league. Yes, the Suns have back-to-back 140-point games, but both came vs. the Clippers. Oklahoma City will offer far more resistance.

              Hornets +8.5: The Hornets are not intimidated by playing in LA, as they are 2-1 SU in the last three visits including one upset already this season and 4-0 ATS in the last four trips. And here's a fun fact: the underdog is 10-0 ATS in the last 10 head-to-head meetings!

                        Illinois St +2.5.............Not a big fan of bracketbusters, but I seem to recall road teams doing very well. I will take the road team, from the better conference and getting points to boot.

                        Columbia +3.5...............Not crazy about taking the road team, but I have lost a ton of home teams lately, so I will take the road team who is the better team. I usually love small home favs, but I have sucked lately, so I am sort of fading myself as well.

                            Illinois State +3.5 at Niagara
                            The redhawks comes from a much better conference in the Missouri Valley, while purple eaters plays in a weaker one. Illinois state defensive tough prowess should help them to beat this finesse offensive minded Niagara team.

                            Darmouth +11 at Pennsylvania
                            Just too much points for the Quakers to handle, against an equally talented Ivy league opponent.

                                  Kings/Grizzlies Over 205 This is an over matchup, went over twice earlier in the year.

                                  Thunder/Suns Under 234 Under is 18-5 in OKC's last 23 games against winning teams.

                                    856 Minnesota Timberwolves -3 - The Twolves are doing ok without Jefferson, they may roll at home in this one.

                                    865 Denver Nuggets -2½ - The Nuggets are rolling and I don't know if the mediocre Bulls can stop them.

                                      Fri 2/20 883 VA Commonwealth +1½ Over 137
                                      9:00PM (EST) 884 Nevada -1½ Under 137

                                      Tough trip to take for an eastern team to take for the 1st time.

                                      NBA

                                      Fri 2/20 865 Denver Nuggets -2½ Over 207½
                                      8:35PM (EST) 866 Chicago Bulls +2½ Under 207½

                                      Low number getting lower points to the home team here.

                                        863 Dallas Mavericks +3: Houston isnt the same team with Alston gone, Jason Kidd and company should have a field day.

                                        865 Denver Nuggets -2½: A team who had a bunch of trades will need a few games to adjust and Denver should win with no problems!

                                          No play for me tonight. One minute late on my first play in above post.

                                            Kings +6 - this game should be close
                                            Cavs -7.5 - should roll in this one

                                              Oklahoma City Thunder +9
                                              Phoenix is playing good ball, but so is Oklahoma and Durant. Durant should have a big game against the Suns defense.

                                              Hornets/Lakers OVER 207
                                              Went past this last time they played in LA with a low scoring 4th quarter. Should be a shootout tonight.

                                                New Orleans Hornets +8½ Over 207

                                                I think hornets will easily cover, game goes over
