    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Saturday, 4/26/08
    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.

            Lakers/Nuggets Over 230.5: Game 1 totaled 242. Game 2 totaled 229. Usually games are high scoring in Denver, plus with a low line and the game having more potential to stay closer, I'll take the over.

            Magic/Raptors Over 203: Looking for another Over in this series. The Raptors will come out as good as they did in game 3 but the Magic will compete better.

                #701 Orl/Tor un 203 : the shake-up in the line-up, seemed to work for Mitchell, hopefully the better D can work again.

                #707 Hou/Utah ov 185.5 : the Jazz should break 100, the Rockets will pick up the rest.

                        Sorry guys, I accidentally left this game out. Since this was entirely my fault, I will allow anyone that has submitted a parlay BEFORE THIS POST ONLY to change one of their plays to the Boston game if they so choose. Just do so in a seperate post and do NOT edit your first entry.

                            Toronto -3-tough to beat at home and they should make this a series.

                            Denver over 230-nuggets plays more frenetic at home, and this game going to be crazy. Nugget should be raining more 3's today, that why it's going high.

                              CELTICS/HAWKS OVER 187.5: The Celtics defense has been great all year, but they do allow a few points more on the road than at home, at 92.7 per game. Add in the 100.7 points the Celts are averaging offensively and their road games average 193.4 points, six points more than this total. Ths is the first Hawks home playoff game in nine years, so the could play a little over their heads early. Besides, they do average 101.8 points at home. Finally, the Celts defense may relax with the series well in hand.

                              ROCKETS/JAZZ UNDER 185.5: I had to find a second game to use for this contest, so why not? These teams barely sneaked Over in Game 2, but even with that, the Under is still 34-9 the last 43 times the Jazz have been favored in this head-to-head series!

                                Toronto -3- : Will take the home team to even up series.

                                Denver/ Lakers over 230 : No D and plenty of offense.

                                  Denver -1.5 I see the Lakers relaxing like clevland and orlando in game 3 and the nuggets sneak away with one.

                                  Atlanta +8.5 Atlantas 1st home game in many yrs I think they come out fired up and Boston knows they have the series won and come out a little flat.
                                  If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

                                  I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

                                    Time to make a statement, with this road win!

                                    LAKERS/NUGGETS OVER 230.5
                                    Not only will it be raining threes, but the FT's help make this an easy target to hit!

                                            705 Bos/Atl Over 187½ Atlanta gives up 99.6 ppg at home while averaging 101.9 ppg at home. Boston allows 92.7 ppg on the road while averaging 100.7 ppg on the road. Atlanta has their backs against the wall and comes out firing.

                                            707 Houston Rockets +8½ -110 Different team with Alston...Jazz beat them by 9 at the end of the season but shot much better. Houston has confidence and momentum on their side as well as already winning twice in Utah.

                                              Bos-Atl U187.5: Atlanta can't score on Boston. Period. 100-85 at worst.

                                              Boston -8.5: They'll cover this by halftime and never look back.
