    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Tuesday, 4/1/08
    Starting Tuesday (April 1), we will start a new April Hoops Parlay Contest with a prize of $250 account at 5 Dimes, 3 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 5 Dimes account with a 3 time roll over. If there is a tie for last place in both units and game-by-game record (15 parlay minimum), there will be NO last place prize.

    *IMPORTANT*
    All players must have an account at 5 Dimes prior to making picks Sign up here

    Before participating, players must PM their 5 Dimes account ID to SBRforum Staff


    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 1:00 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, NCAA Men's and beginning April 1, NCAA Women's 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! 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.

    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 first place - 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.

      Bulls under 197.5 : Boston defense just seems to shut people down.


      GS over 208.5 : Points and points when the Warriors play, low total for them hopefully Spurs will slack on the D.

        MASSACHUSETTS MINUTEMEN 24-10 vs FLORIDA GATORS 24-11
        April 1, 7:00 PM | Madison Square Garden


        UMass coming off an a great comeback against Syracuse in a game that should of ended their season. They also struggled against Akron in the game before.

        Florida has been crusing and Coach Donovan has these young kids motivated and determined to win the NIT.

        PLAY: Florida Gators -4

        MISSISSIPPI REBELS 24-10 vs OHIO STATE BUCKEYES 22-13
        April 1, 9:00 PM | Madison Square Garden


        Mississippi has gone further then I expected in this Tourney, and impressed me after winning on the road against VA TECH. However I think their run ends here when they face the buckeyes tonight. Ohio St.'s defense is going to be the difference in this matchup and they will lock down the Rebels late in the game.

        PLAY: Ohio St. -2.5

          661 Golden State Warriors Over 208½

          GS knows it's time to play, and they're playing the Spurs so they'll be up for the competition.

          Only way they cover and possibly win is to keep this tempo up.

            Florida Gators -4

            I think Donovan pushed the right buttons with this team in locking them out of their gym. He has them playing hard to salvage the season and I think there winning continues by covering the 4 in this game.


            Hornets -1

            Although this will be a tough game I think the Hornets pull it out. Even though Orlando is a good team they do not have a dominant home record. Hornets lost to Orlando last time but Paul did not play. Payback time tonight as Paul leads the Hornets to victory.

              661 Golden State +9 Spurs slow down the pace and play and control the game. 9 points is too much for them to give the Warriors potent offense given their playing style.

              654 Phi/NJ U 202 Over is 4-1 in last 5 meetings. Combined PPG 192, PPGA 196. Last meeting 10 days ago went to 178.

                MASSACHUSETTS/FLORIDA OVER 155: Massachusetts is averaging over 80 points per game and Florida is hitting over 49 percent of their shots this season. Look for a track meet here.

                MISSISSIPPI +2.5: The Rebels are an excellent rebounding team, and their dominance on the boards was the reason they won at Virginia Tech last week. One more time!

                    DET-MIN Under 185½: Detroit may just about scrape 90 points, but I'd be very surprised if Minnesota did. I wouldn't be surprised to see this total in the 160s as each team scores in the low 80s.

                    76ers -2: They're better than New Jersey. Games don't always go "to plan," but I like the Sixers to come out of this one with a comfortable win.

                        321 Rutgers Women +10 - only team to beat uconn this year and can do it again on a neutral floor

                          76ers seems to play defense when they're against the nets. hoping dat happens again tonyt.

                                Detroit has gone under the last 3 games and have just been playing unbelievable defense as of late holding teams to poor percentage shooting. Look for Detroit to hold this mediocre team to minimum pts.

                                New York Knicks Over 208½
                                The 2 worst defensive efficiency teams in the league battle it out. Generally these teams don't run very quick games, but I expect them to as a lack of defense will allow either team to get to the hoop and have this game go OVER.

                                  Boston - 7 -- I hate betting against the bulls because they have screwed me too many times this year, but boston has beat the bulls by over 20 in the last two meetings and the first meeting at chicago boston won by 11 and I think they win by at least ten tonight.

                                  Nuggets/suns over 237 -- This is a huge number but in all three meetings this year they have been over this. Im a little worried that they played last night and may be a little worn out but they will still be able to shoot and the nuggets are going to be a little upset about that fourth quarter last night and will come out scoring a lot very fast.

                                    #661 GS/SA ov 208.5 : alot of their past match-ups tend to fall in this range, so i'll go with the over, since the Warriors like to run.

                                    #659 Bos/Chi un 197.5 : bulls got injuries and the Celtics got D.

                                          Celtics defense will be too much for the Bulls.

                                            Golden State Warriors +9

                                            Golden St going to play tough trying to get into playoffs

                                            Golden State Warriors
                                            San Antonio Spurs
                                            Under 208½

                                            Golden States last four road games went under, Spurs will slow them up some.

                                                Boston/Chicago over 197.5 - Chicago will try and make this an uptempo game and bpston should go along and the offenses should be good enough to get over the number

                                                Houston/Sac under 203 - Houston needs to control the pace and lock down on D, I htink they will and this stays under the number

                                                    Houston -3, Kings have quit this year

                                                    Rockets/Kings over under 203, neither team gives a damn this late in the season to score 100

                                                      GS over 208.5 : Points and points when the Warriors play, low total for them hopefully Spurs will slack on the D.
                                                      Glad I bet these for 1st half and not the game for my real money. I would have been pissed !!! 1/2 point on both
