Hi, i've been apart of the forum for a little while now and thought i'd test my luck by posting my sports picks with you guys.

Right off the bat, I do not claim to have any secret formula nor will I try to 'woo' you for the first couple of months of my picks and then try and charge you for them. Simply wanted to test my luck with some of my picks to see how I fare.
Every bet will be one unit unless I state otherwise.
I won't be able to post EVERY day, just on days where I feel like having a dabble in the books and obviously if I see value.
Tonight is as good as any to get things going, so here we go...

[ace_202]

NBA
Atlanta - Win
Cavs/Kings - Under 205.5
Minnesota/Spurs - Over 211.5

NHL
Edmonton/Chicago - Over

[ace_202]

After a 8-0 run to begin to the 4th in the Hawks game, i thought they were going to clinch it. Too good at home the Grizzles. Not that worried that one lost, it was the highest odd game I played.

Quite happy I got this one, as what i read through other punters they backed this game to go over (Cavs/Kings) Just scraped through on an absolute bee's doodle. A win is a win.

Mid way through the 3rd in the Minny/Spurs game and they're on par to nail the o/u. Half way through the 2nd in the Edmon/Chic game and they're on 5 nets. Feeling good about these two and should close out the day 3-1

Cheers.

Edit:

Minny and Spurs really slowed down in the 4th and was going to be a tough task of 45+ in the last. Went under.


Finished 2-2 from the night. I'll consider 50/50 loss nights so we'll see how we go on a bigger card.

NBA
Atlanta - Win
Cavs/Kings - Under 205.5
Minnesota/Spurs - Over 211.5

NHL
Edmonton/Chicago - Over 5.5

[ace_202]

Some picks for tomorrow, wanted to get on the o/u's early because I feel the lines move too much to make a precise decision on game day or especially within 1-3 hours before tip off.

NBA
Bucks/Raptors Under 185.5
Suns + 2.5
Spurs/Pelicans Under 199.5

Happy with these three, if theres any more i'll just edit this post.
Cheers

[RavensFan2k3]

I like the Suns here too, i would just like to hear why you like them?

[ace_202]

I still question the Knicks and their recent winning trend. Definitely have some confidence now and playing on their home polish is also good. Suns are just in a funk, but should be snapping out of it any game now. I think it'll be a good little get for whoever picks it. If they don't cover tonight (I'm quietly thinking they'll win) they'll give their next opponent (Lakers) a real good touch up.

[ace_202]

NBA
Bucks/Raptors Under 185.5
Suns + 2.5
Spurs/Pelicans Under 199.5


Happy with these two, the Spurs/Pels game had 67% punters backing the over which I thought which was odd. Suns lucked out in OT, but didn't deserve to win. Unlucky though.

YTD

4 - 3

[ace_202]

Day 3 of my picks guys and i've got a few good picks here I feel. Let me know what you all think hey?

NBA
Knicks/Bobcats Over 187.5
Memphis +1.5

NHL
Chicago/Colorado - Chicago win

[ace_202]

Couple days since i posted but that was how i was going to be. I hate posting from my phone too, so i thought i'd wait until i got to a comp.

NBA
Knicks/Bobcats Over 187.5
Memphis +1.5

NHL
Chicago/Colorado - Chicago win


YTD

6 - 4


Been on a streak lately with my over/under predictions, only just missed a 5 leg parlay yesterday by a single bucket. Will post what i get tonight.

[ace_202]

Two plays tonight backing the overs in games. I find it funner this way, rooting for teams to score than playing D ball all day.

Nets/Magic to FLY over 192
Kings/Pelicans over 204

Ok, now that i'm back from my holiday I'll be able to post more regularly now. Have been quietly following the games so i'm hoping a few lads can get on board the thread.

[ace_202]

For anyone following this thread i've jumped on the NBL down under for this evening.

Wollongong V Townsville

I've backed Townsville to win by more than 2 points tonight simply because they can't keep losing games by such small margins. Finally they're back at home and will want to take this big scalp.

My play this evening is

Townsville -1.5

[ace_202]

Townsville -1.5

YTD

8 - 5

Plays for today will be;
Raps +2.5
* The day the All Star starters were announced and LaMarcus Aldridge wasn't announced, he went on a killer game scoring 40+. He felt snubbed for not being a starter and like he said post game, he deserved to be in there.
Tonight, Kyle Lowry, the most underrated point in the league was left out and he knows it. The Raps, especially him, will get up in Denver and shouldn't even needs this spread, but outright win with a few points spare. This is definitely my power play for this evening.

[Spudymatt]

Any NBL tips for today man? Adelaide 36ers should beat Taipans easy you'd think..

[ace_202]

Any NBL tips for today man? Adelaide 36ers should beat Taipans easy you'd think..

Value for money in this game at this stage is Taipans +6.5
Adel have had a bigger rest but are coming off another lost to the Kings. Whilst the Taipans are hot off their OT win against top dog Wildcats on the road. The Taipans should stay in touch long enough to cover the spread here.

[Spudymatt]

True, Taipans would be feeling real good about knocking over the Wildcats. I'm sure they fancy themselves to match another top 2 team.
Think i'll get on +6.5 for sure. Cheers mate

Are u in Australia BTW?

[ace_202]

Yeah man, how about you?

[Spudymatt]

Yep in Victoria
I thought you might be because not many people bet on NBL
There has been some crackers this season in NBL.

Keep your tips coming man and i'll throw my 2 cents in as well lol

[ace_202]

Yeah, in Vic too.

Live bet i just threw on before the game.


Atlanta -4.5 on the spread as well.

[Spudymatt]

I got
ORL -5.5 over 194.5
MEM -1.5 over 188.5
OKL -3.5 over 198.5
TOR +2.5 under 205

Fingers crossed

[ace_202]

I got
ORL -5.5 over 194.5
MEM -1.5 over 188.5
OKL -3.5 over 198.5
TOR +2.5 under 205


Fingers crossed

Nice, unlucky to miss that Memphis game, I reckon the Toronto game will go to the wire with the o/u




Happy with my two plays today.


Atlanta -4.5
Toronto +2


YTD
10-5

[Spudymatt]

Meh that was just one of my crazy multi's

I won 3 other ones so far today Just waiting on the Taipans game now to win some more. Fingers crossed....
Had
Memphis -1.5
Raptors +2.5
OKL -3.5
Orlando -4.5
ATL -4.5

Happy days

[ace_202]

Good day by you friend.

After mulling over the Cairns game this arvo, I've decided I'm gonna give Cairns +6 against the Adel boys in the NBL. I'm so close to giving Cairns just the outright win but as it stands, Cairns line.

[Spudymatt]

I'm also hoping the Taipans come within +10.5 today because it means I win $190 off $10
Multi'd with some other of today's efforts which have already come good

See how it goes..

[ace_202]

Cairns +6.5
Another win in the bag for this game, with just under 8 seconds to play in regulation the 36'ers get up by a pair. Good thing i went with the spread and not the outright win like i was thinking.

YTD
11 - 5
Tally is starting to look respectable and after that win my hit rate goes to 68.75%


Plays for today:
OKC -4.5
*At this point KD is absolutely untouchable. He got props from the reigning MVP throughout the week, being told he's ungaurdable and he leads a team that just keeps pounding other teams on the road. Washington haven't played in three days and i'm still considering giving a quater one line to OKC too. Washington will be late to fire on their home deck whilst Durant and co will continue to roll on by.

Bobcats +8.5
* Two teams I don't quite have exact handles on this year. The Bobcats did well in the 'mega' stadium last night in Los Angeles and pulled the win whilst the Suns had the night off. Phoenix are extremely explosive on the offensive end but I see the Bobcats slowing them down enough to pull within 8 points of them during this matchup. Jefferson will again stack another double double on his career stats tonight as no one will be able to match him in the paint.


Happy to discuss any other games!

Good luck.

[ace_202]

Two more game i'll throw in there is:

Indy -10.5
Melb tigers margin win 1-10

[Spudymatt]

Hey mate, good call yesterday with Hawks, Taipans +6.5 and Toronto +2.5
Winners all round yesterday

Today I have
Pelicans +2.5 vs Bulls
Knicks +5.5 vs heat
Atlanta -3.5 vs Wolves
Raptors +7.5 vs Blazers
Philly +8.5 vs Detroit
Memphis - wire to wire (lead at the end of each qtr) vs bucks
OKL ML
Kings +12.5 vs Spurs
Pacers -5.5

I rarely win 2 days in a row so i'm just doing these for a laugh

[Spudymatt]

Bit of a tough day at the office mate. Nothing like the roll I had yesterday
I think when there are too many games to analyze I lose the plot a bit lol
Pelicans, Atlanta and Kings were my top 3 but I didn't combo them today for some reason... Trying too hard to win big lol

How about the Wildcats? WOW!!

[ace_202]

Got absolutely bombed today on the punt! Basketball was definitely not good to me today at all. Lost all 4 punts including my home countries league.

OKC -4.5
Bobcats +8.5
Pacers - 10.5
Melbourne Tigers win between 1-10

However..
Seeing as i multi'd the first three on half a unit (unit=50$) and put half a unit on the melbourne game i didn't think i was that bad off so decided to jump on A league to round out the day.

10 Units on both Brisbane and Central Coast to score in their matchup tonight. As you can see from the screen shot the bet was made and even though not many people probably follow my plays, i'll count this towards my own personal tally because it was a winner and i did play it.



Not all is lost. One game tomorrow that i may skip for the American SuperBowl, but then again...

YTD
12 - 9

[Spudymatt]

Nice one Ace! Who you backing for Superbowl? I've gone Denver -1.5 under 47.5 just for a giggle

[ace_202]

I was giving the Seahawks the line if I was laying it, didn't thought I'd have a day off it all today. Looking a little off with this punt at the moment.

Smart call mate. I never win a superbowl bet... And that continues today

[ace_202]

Going Blazers margin 1-10
New Orleans +4.5
