Listen up, basketball experts. Starting Saturday (Mar 1) we will commence with the March 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 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. 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. 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 seperate 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 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.
  
• Residents outside the Continental US may be awarded the cash value prize instead of the monitor.

[szaidi99]

kansas -points

davidson keeps it close, until the end when kansas takes over

texas +points

this game goes down to the last shot, i'll take the points

[turnip]

Davidson +9.5 - They said Georgetown would shut down Curry, then Wisconsin. Now Kansas. Nope!

Texas +3.5 I have a feeling this will be close, and we've got some solid posters here at SBR on Texas. Not afraid to tail for this contest when I've only got one play myself

[$Hugo$]

KU&TEX make money!

[shantystar]

510 Toronto Raptors +2˝,great team to bet their opponenet.
516 Golden State Warriors -5,nice selection of players that works tonight.

[IHPuller]

Boston/Miami over 181: Line has already moved up 2pts at BetJam, Boston should score in the 100-110 range, hopefully Miami can keep stay around 30pts back?

Davidson/Kansas under 146.5: 70s-60s game, even if Curry goes off again Davidson still shouldnt score more than mid 60s.

Not a lot out there I liked today that was a real strong play. Also lean to Lakers -7, Texas +3.5.

[Junkyard Dog]

503 Utah Jazz -5˝ - twolves are playing better lately but jazz should crush them here

521 Texas +3˝ - like texas to win su against a team that cant hit ft's

[20Four7]

Utah -5.5 Utah is just such a better team. My only concern is their record as a road fav.

Dallas +5 Teams are even so take the points

I combined both of these with Houston for a Real Life Round Robin so let's go here too.

[louisvillekid]

#510 Tor +2.5 : i actually just got them at +3.5, i know the Hornets have been playing good , but i like the Raps at home.

#521 Tex +3.5 : Memphis has just been rolling, but i'm just sold on the backcourt of Texas, i just hope the hype of the game doesn't make their shooting collapse like Xavier's last night.

[diogee]

516 Golden State -5 The Mavs won't be able to keep up with the Warriors. The Warriors find themselves outside of the playoff picture and Nelson will have a fire lit under his team.

512 Phi/Cle U 191 Combined PPG 193, points allowed per game 193, Cavs have been struggling to score and have not topped 100 in their last 10 games. Under is 21-11 for the Cavs when playing a team with a winning record and 17-17 for the 76ers when playing a team with a winning record.

[FreeFall]

GS -5 Warriors are pumped from last nigh they lost to denver moving them down. Mavs are down dirk and a little distraught this post allstar time. Warriors with don nelson will lay it down at home.

GS v DAL O216 just like before both teams have something to show and prove tonight. The last two games went over and I dont see why tonight would slow down in anyway.

[greek]

Kansas / Memphis Cover The Spread ---- Just Like Yesterday The Very Best Advance----- Cinderalla , And 1 Man Teams ,are Over ----go Favorites !!!!!!!!!!

[VBOMBER]

LT - Not that it matters, but you missed my winner yesterday, just trying to finish in positive territory

NOK/Toronto under 198 - Just hoping the pace is slow enough to keep these two good offensive teams under the number

Wash/LAL under 209.5 - Same analysis as above

[sharktank1]

TEXAS + 3.5
The Longhorns in a upset.
Memphis had it too easy all season loooong.

KANSAS -9.5
Time to send ol' Cinderella packin".

[rugbybdyb]

Miami Heat/Boston Celtics Over 181 -- the first time they played this year is the only time that they did not go over. I think Boston is well over 100 and Miami should at least score 82.

Utah Jazz -5˝ -- They have been on a three game winning streak and although this game scares me a little but I think Utah wins by 8

[beaneaters]

Hornets -2.5. New Orleans have only failed to cover in three of their last 13 -- against Boston, Detroit and Houston. Toronto isn't in that class.

Philadelphia +4. 76ers are 6-1 ATS in last seven on the road, Cleveland got beat up in Detroit night before.

[Wrigley]

Kansas -9˝
Jayhawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
Jayhawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games.

Davidson/Kansas Under 146˝
Under is 4-1 in Davidson last 5 games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5.
Under is 5-0 in Jayhawks last 5 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.

[LLXC]

515 Dallas Mavericks/Golden State Warriors Over 216
516 Golden State Warriors -5

Warriors need this win. They are the more talented team. They will be playing at home. Expecting a high scoring game.

Actually, fading myself has been working very well...oh well...going with the gut this time.

[mundane]

Golden State Warriors -5
nowitzki-less mavs against fighting for playoff gsw. ill take gsw to win by dd.

Los Angeles Lakers -7
no way kobe and phil would allow subpar teams to come and dominate on their turf the 3rd time. go lakers!

[sharktank1]

Oh well, I tried.
Free advice, is exactly that.
Man oh man, did I pay for it today!
Went 0-2 this afternoon.
Lost a whopping 5% points.

You won 6 in a row right? if you won again you might have burned yourself

[sharktank1]

Yea go figure.
I mean, I lost six in a row earlier this month.
So it only goes to show, that the gambling gods would only let me win six in a row.
Least I cashed two decent withdrawl checks during that run.
G.L. to ya Turnip, the rest of the year.
