    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Friday, 4/25/08
    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.

          MAVERICKS -5.5: Mavs were 34-7 at home, all all three teams down 0-2 in series won and covered easily last night. One more time!

          SPURS/SUNS OVER 194.5: I am not playing the down 0-2 angle here because this is too many points to give the Spurs in the playoffs, but the total does seem kind of low for a Phoenix home game so I'll bite.

              Detroit/Philly under 180 - The defenses should start playing a lot better in this series than they have so far to keep this under the number

              SA/Phoenix over 194.5 - Suns will make every effort possible to make this game more uptempo, and we should see a bit better offensive efforts from both sides going forward to get this over the number

                Spurs +6.5-They can play anybody anywhere anytime unphased. They will employ timely hack a Shaq. This forces phoenix to take him out, thus allowing Tim Duncan to have his way in paint, and the suns has absolutely no one that can play him.

                Suns vs Spurs over 194.5-The suns will try to run and gun more at home, the suns can not good defense for more than 3 quarters that why this game is going over.

                  Detroit - 4.5 : Pistons need to regain control of series.


                  Spurs/Suns over 194.5 : Suns will score more at home pushing the total over.

                                  i personally don't like anything tonight, so here's my guesses.

                                  #525 N.O. +5.5 : maybe it was a fluke that the Mavs won the last game of regular season @home against the Hornets. the Hornets i think have a chip on their shoulder from not getting the #1 seed., just a hunch.

                                  #527 S.A. +7 : Spurs have and always seem to play them tight, flop city might not work in the Desert, but i'll bite.

                                    523Pistons/Sixers Over 180 Detroit will try to play up and down ball again to exploit the weakness of the Sixers.

                                    525 Hornets/Mavs Over 196½ Both teams average better than 100 ppg. I expect the typical fast and high scoring NBA West game.

                                        I hear ya Mundane,
                                        Caught in traffic, so let's play the only game left on the board.

                                        SUNS -7
                                        Though it may be dusk outside right now, the Suns are gonna shine tonight!

                                        SUNS/SPURS OVER 194.5
                                        May need OT to reach this #, but a win is a win!
