Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Sunday, 1/27/08

[LT Profits]

Listen up, basketball experts. Starting Wednesday (Jan 2) we will commence with a Hoops Parlay Contest with the monthly grand prize a 22” widescreen LCD monitor. The rules are simple:

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 12:30 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. Both NBA and NCAA games 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, doesn’t have to be long, just a sentence or two about why you’re making your play. Here’s a THREAD from last year’s contest to be used for an example.

5. 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 needed to be eligible for monthly prize.
  
• Tiebreaker - 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.

[Dark Horse]

Washington is trying to join the elite teams, so there is a lot of focus here during the mid-season stretch.

WAS -2


Just when they seemed back on track the Kings dropped two straight on the road. They're frustrated, and may take it out on lowly Seattle.

SAC -4

[gizmo2431]

Wizards
playing good ball and i hate to steal from above, but they r trying to join the elite teams.

Sacramento
disappointed their last few games, i look for a bounce back

[McRich]

MSU Spartans over scUM
My Spartans will destroy the evil Wolverines by 20 today. Neitzel and Morgan are both back on a hot streak. This is senior Drew Neitzel's last home game vs. scUM and he wants to dominate.

Knicks over Warriors
I don't think the Warriors will cover. The Knicks are 9-9 ATS on the road. The Warriors have lost 2 ATS games at home in a row against the Nets and Timberwolves. I see this trend of losing ATS continuing today.

Parlay record 7-16-2. Parlay game record 28-20-2.

[pokernut9999]

Clemson +1 : Tigers to take this road game today in Miami , team needs a big road win.


Vandy +6 : Vandy with the points here looks good. May take game outright.

Hate taking 2 road teams but will take chance with these 2.

[B1GER1C828]

wash pck wash will stomp the bucks 2day. wash has played great this month and their only losses r 2 great teams. they will dominate bucks 2nite.

celts -2 easy win for celts 2day. magic can always give some1 trouble but it wont b celts tonight. im expecting a blowout on offense 2nite and a great defense after the twolves game

[ipickwinners]

suns -7

with deng out for sure, and gordon questionable, i like the suns in this spot as they should easily handle the struggling bulls

wizzards -1.5

wizzards are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 in milwaukee. wizzards have been playing great basketball and i think they will win by double digits here or close to it

[20Four7]

No lines up yet, I hope CBB totals are up since I'm posting my 2 nickel plays. Here's the line I got them at.

Lafayette/Troy Under 145.5 Under is 7 and 1 in the last 8 vs the sun best.

Niagara/Fairfield Under 140 Line started to move so I bet it at a stale line.

[sharktank1]

Here's my Interstate 80 parlay of the day.

Sacramento: (-) 5.
Kings road record better that Sonics home record.

Fairfield: (+) 2.
Better matchup down in the paint.

[goldengoat]

denver +11
nuggets playing well without melo

mich st under 135.5
mich can't shoot and D will be heavy

i took the celtics game off the list pretip

[uscfootball33]

01/27/08: USCFOOTBALL33’s Parlay Of The Day

Denver Nuggets +11.0
Analysis: The reason this spread is so high is because of Denver’s difficulties on the road and Carmello Anthony’s uncertain status. Unfortunately for those taking Dallas to cover, this will not be enough to translate this game into a one sided blowout because Denver is just too talented. Take Denver and the points.

Clemson Tigers +1.0
Analysis: This one is pretty simple, so let’s break it down. Clemson has been the better team in out of conference play. Clemson has been the better team in ACC conference play. Clemson has no injuries right now. Oh yeah, who are they playing again? Miami?! Well, I have to tell you: A 9-1 home record against little league competition is not impressing me. Take Clemson and the point.

kings -5
definitely will blow seatle out of their home town, best players are back and wanna win

washington pk
better team, better record, more organized, better attitude, more focused, more determined over milw, anyday

[pavyracer]

Michigan +16

I'm counting on this team to play better as the season goes by now that the new coach has found a rhythm with his squad of freshmen.

Clemson +1

Clemson is a rebounding machine and will punish Miami's bad shooters.

looks like I got a few points more to play with IRL. Oh well that's what happens when you post early.

[LT Profits]

ORLANDO MAGIC +2.5: Magic already beat Celtics in Orlando once this season, and home teams are 20-7 ATS last 27 meetings.

UTAH JAZZ +3: Rockets are just 8-10-1 ATS at home and the Jazz are 5-1 ATS last six head-to-head

[Data]

702 Chicago Bulls +7½
Big home dog, the Bulls are not that bad

706 Orlando Magic +2½
Garnett is out

[rugbybdyb]

Wizards - 1 1/2 -- I have been resistant on betting these guys this year because who would have known they would have been this good this year but I think they have changed my mind. The bucks will have Redd back this meeting but I dont think that he can help them get that much closer than the last time the wizards beat them by 24.

Nuggets/Mavs over 207 1/2 -- This number seems low to me seeing as these two teams the last time the met totalled 231...This should be a track meet and a very high scoring game

[Wrigley]

Lakers -4 Think the lakers win by DD in this one
Orlando +2.5 Garnett not playing

[Data]

702 Chicago Bulls +7½
Big home dog, the Bulls are not that bad

706 Orlando Magic +2½
Garnett is out

That was a past-post Orlando vs. Boston started a bit early.


707 Washington Wizards -1
The Wizard are underavalued

714 Minnesota Timberwolves pk
The Nets are a mess, The Wolves are too though but I like the home team.

[The HG]

Siena -3 - Is this a trap line? Whatever, I'll go with it here. Siena has generally mauled lower-tier conference foes, while Iona has generally gotten mauled by upper-tier conference foes.

Troy -2 - I think Troy will be able to bounce back and pull out a win here, La Laf isn't too formidable, and Troy has been competitive against decent conference foes, it's time for them to get a win and I think they are primed for one here.

Wrigley,

NO ACTION, Orlando started at 1:05

======================================== ====

Data,

You already know.

[nevadaside]

SIENA-3
SIENA owns this matchup ATS @IONA.

SIENA/IONA Under140.5
Both teams ATS Under stats including in Conf. wreak of an Under.

[seaborneq]

GTech +4.5, Tech is playing well right now and starting to gel

Maryland, +5.5, Gary Williams has a knack for playing well against Coach K, especially when he is the home dog

[Cabo]

717 Sacramento Kings -5 Kings are the better team, going to give the 5 points

716 Houston Rockets -3 pretty even teams, taking the home team

[Junkyard Dog]

703 Cleveland Cavaliers +4 - lebron will go off, now one on la can check him.

713 New Jersey Nets pk - if the nets cant beat the twolves they might as well give up on the season.

[thezbar]

Nets pick- Better team on paper
Golden state -10 I'd rather lay the points in a high scoring affair

[eidolon]

Sacramento Kings -5
Kings are playing really good. And Sonics are hurt and seem to be one of the worse NBA teams in a long time.

Utah Jazz +3
Utah is a great team. They are playing a team where McGrady is still trying to get back to 'playing' 100%. Look for him to make bad shot decisions, and for the pace of Utah to be too fast for Houston.

[manly]

Washington Wizards -1
- wiz will continue their roll and defeat a bucks team struggling for any consistency

Duke/Maryland Over 147½
- scheyer will go off for coach K's guys today

[bbyhill]

713 Nets pk should be able to handle it
716 Houston -3 can cover at home

[charlie64]

Kings -5 If Ron Artest can keep his head in the game,and coinside with the rest of his team,I believe they could beat anyone.

New York vs. Golden State over 217.5 The Knicks give up over 100 pts. a game.The Warriors score over 100 a game,plus they haven't guarded anybody all year.

[rugbybdyb]

OK its official I suck at this....I will just have to work harder next month
