    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Saturday, 11/01/08
    Starting Saturday (November 1), we will start a November Hoops Parlay Contest with a grand prize of a $200 cash account at BetPhoenix, 3 time roll-over. Second Place will be a $50 account and last place will receive a $25 BetPhoenix 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), the last place prize will be divided equaly.

    *IMPORTANT*
    All players must have an account at BetPhoenix to be prize eligible Sign up here

    To be eligible to win prizes, all players must PM their BetPhoenix account ID to SBRforum Staff NO LATER than 6:00pm ET on Wednesday, November 5!


    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 and NCAA Men's Colege Basketball will be 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. Any player with two edit violations during the course of the contest shall be ELIMINATED FROM PRIZE ELIGIBILITY.

    *-EXCEPTION: If someone edits a post on the last day of the competition in an attempt to get an automatic loss in order to win the Last Place prize, then the player will be credited with a WIN.

    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 prizes - 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.

      Hawks

      Hawks three last home games were decisive wins against world champions Celtics. The team is talented both defensively and offensively and they will be a top 4 team in the East this year.

      Heat

      Dwayne Wade is at his best when leading a team on the road. He has many weapons to his arsenal this year and the Bobcats should not be favored against any team the rest of the year.

            boston -6

            After an easy win last night against chicago, they should be confident and loose and ready to continue their streak. boston should easily cover the this spread against a Indiana team that will struggle against a strong D.

            Lakers -8.5

            Denver went to OT last night (great win for them!!) and will not have what it takes to keep up with LA today. 8 points is a lot, but they should win this by double digits.

                513 Dallas Mavericks Over 204 both teams can score, and play little defense

                  76ERS +3: The 76ers crushed the Knicks last night, and the fact that the game was a blowout allowed virtually everyone to get some minutes, neutralizing the back-to-back effect. I feel that the addition of Elton Brand could propel the Sixers to elite status. The Hawks got some valuable playoff experience vs. the Celtics last year, but I think they are slightly overvalued right now.

                  LAKERS -8.5: I felt the Lakers were head and shoulders above the rest of the league before this season started, and they have done nothing in the first two games to change my mind. This is a terrible scheduling spot for Denver, playing the best team in basketball with no rest following a fast-paced overtime game last night.

                      Sat 11/1 513 Dallas Mavericks -4½ - I dont understand why the spread is so low. the mavs are way better than minn and should win convincingly coming off a loss to houston. dallas has won the last 9 out of 10 against minn

                      Sat 11/1 505 Boston Celtics -6 the champs should easily cover this. they are way better than indiana and i dont care that its on the road. vegas line is not respecting the celtics as the vastly superior team IMO

                        Raptors +1- Addition of Jermaine O'Neal makes Toronto too big up front for Milwaukee to contain. Bosh and O'Neal both have big games as the knock off the Bucks 97-89.

                        Rockets/Thunder UNDER 192- Rockets defensive attack will stifle Durant and company. OKC doesn't have enough long range shooters to keep this game close. Rockets take it down 94-81.

                            Lakers -8.5 - Lakers are coming off 2 beautiful wins, Playing the Nuggets who just went to OT and should fade off enough for the lakers to cover.

                            Heat +3.5 - Why this line is like this i have no clue. With the way Wade played yesterday this should be a walk in the park.

                              i dont see these 2-0 teams letting up on their 3rd games against their lowly opponents. both teams have played play-offs caliber offense and defense. take last year's finals teams for the money!

                                              Lakers/Nuggets under 209.5:
                                              Both teams are focusing on defense this year. Lakers have held both opps under 80, and Nuggets held the Jazz to 98 and Clippers 94 before OT.

                                              Heat +3.5:
                                              The Heat are a better team than the Bobcats, with more scoring options so the points are an added gift here.
