    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Tuesday, 4/15/08
    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.

        BOBCATS/NETS OVER 209.5: Defense? What defense? These are two loose teams going nowhere, and the Bobcats have allowed over 100 points in seven straight games while simultaneously scoring over 100 in six of them. The Nets have allowed over 100 poihts in seven of their last nine games. These clubs should approach 220 tonight.

        TIMBERWOLVES +6.5: The Pistons are expected to give their starters limited minutes if any at all against this also-ran, as Detroit already made a semi-statement by beating potential playoff oppoenents the last two games and they have another one in Cleveland tomorrow. The Timberwolves just beat a playoff team on the road in Orlando, and they then won a second straight game on the road in Memphis.

          Memphis & Portland 205 Over: nothing to play for so why play defense and risk injury. it's time to have fun and score too much

          Sacramento Kings +17.5: spoilers are good money (i think)...

                again, i personally ain't playing these games, i'm waiting for the play-offs.

                #706 Det -6.5 : even if the Pistons play their bench, they should cover this number.

                #708 N.O. -14.5 : i haven't seen the line posted this low at the books i use, so i'm going for it, hell, i think the Hornets win this by 20+

                    Hawks +1-Orlando has been playing sporadic lately, and not taking any game seriously, Hawks are trying to stay sharp for the playoffs, so they'll be ready for this.

                    Nets -3- New jersey has been very good at home, with the season dwindling down, they should give the home crowd a good win against a Gerald Walless Bobcats.

                      Lakers need this one for playoff seeding will win by 20 or more

                            Orlando -2, Hawks are already bad, plus they have no incentive to win

                            Charlotte +3.5, Nets are real bad, Sam Vincent might need this one to keep his job.

                              Kings +17.5: Too many points. The Lakers might be great, but this isn't the Heat. Sacramento should be able to keep it within 17 freakin' points.

                              SAC-LAL O215.5: I've bet the under when these two meet this season. It's time to hit a freaking over. 120-110 Lakers win.

                                      I'd rather not play today but I might as well.

                                      Memphis +11: Portland shouldn't be favored by this much, and Memphis is streaky, I'll take the points.

                                      Memphis @ Portland Over 205: Think Memphis is gonna play fast paced and neither team is in the play-offs so its just a shootaround. No D so that there is no injuries.

                                          kings +17.5
                                          kings playing some young guys that trying to prove themselves and also a back door cover is highly possible here

                                          detroit under 188.5
                                          this total usually goes under between these two and some scorers may sit out

                                              704 New Jersey Nets -3½ - nets will give home fans a good note to end the season on

                                              711 Sacramento Kings +17½ - huge spread lakers will pull starters once lead is assured
