[LT Profits]

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.

[picantel]

Ok I need a screen shot of the above standings cause that is something I will never see again in my life.

[picantel]

Houston Rockets -5½: Until the clippers come within 50 points in a game I will keep riding the other team.

Sacramento Kings -4: Sac looked good at home last time.

[Richkas]

507 Indiana Pacers
508 Cleveland Cavaliers Over 193 (In the last 5 meetings between these two teams it has went well over 193. Both teams coming off 100 plus point efforts. This should go over easy)



522 Denver Nuggets pk (It should be rocking in Denver with the new additions on the floor.Denver is the play. Dallas is shit)

[THEGREAT30]

Detroit - 7.5 MotorCity should be pumped to add A.I. they had a day of rest also, when it comes to starters I dont think New Jersey has the advantage at any single position. Someone will have to go for 40 + to keep it close and I dont see that.

Knicks +6 I feel like an idiot to put any stock into New York, but I actually have them capped to win this one by 1.

[Deke101]

Suns -4.5: Much more offensive power than Chicago.

Pacers/Cavs Over 193: Pacers are looking good this year and they'll make Cleveland work for the win with high scoring.

[WestsidePete]

Was -6: Still winless the Wizards come home and take this one tonite as the Knicks will again play no defense.

Heat +6.5: The Spurs needed a last second shot in regulation to force OT and 55 from Parker just to beat the Twolves. The Heat actually come in as the better defensive team with more weapons then the Spurs.

[stump]

517 Oklahoma City Thunder +11 Over 181½
total is way too low

511 Milwaukee Bucks +13 bucks should score enough to stay within the number

[ryanXL977]

raptors+3, mavs pk

better teams both, plus money

[sportsfun]

515 chicago-phoenix over 205.5. both teams play up tempo, should be easy over.
517 utah-oklahoma city over 181.5. utah at home should be high scoring affair.

[LT Profits]

BOBCATS +7.5: The Bobcats just missed beating the Knicks on the road the other night, and they now begin a six-game homestand. Charlotte is supposed to be improved this season with Larry Brown now coaching them, and if that is true, I think they will use this homestand to make a bit of a statement. The Hornets are an elite team, but they could easily take this game for granted, and this is just too many points to lay on the road vs. a pesky team.

RAPTORS/HAWKS OVER 181.5: The Over is 19-7 in the last 26 head-to-head meetings between these teams, and I see no reason why that trend won’t continue here. Toronto is averaging 97.8 points per game and allowing 94.8, and that combined average of 192.6 points is 10 points higher than this total. The Hawks play with a different energy at home, where they are averaging 95.0 points per contest.

[playa420]

Cleveland Cavaliers -8½:King James and the cavs have been playing some quality ball lately, and should have no problem taking care of business against a terrible team like the pacers .Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.Pacers are 0-6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland.

Boston Celtics -13:Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

[redrum]

heat +6.5 spurs not that good without manu
suns-4.5 the bulls are not ready suns are playing good basketball with there new coach

[Poker_Beast]

Detroit Pistons -7½ - Piston's are well rested and playing well

Houston Rockets -5½ - Clipper's SUCK!

[Wilforth]

Not for the contest but just posting:

Heat +235
The Spurs are in a funk right now.

Wizards -5.5
Knicks won't cover on the road.

[gm2022]

513 Miami Heat +6½ Spurs are not good enough nor have the firing power to win by 7 pts plain and simple!

Houston Rockets -5½ Clippers sux! Rockets will be hungry after last nights lost!

[smitch124]

Minnesota T-Wolves +4 - Sacramento still reeling and divided over prop 8 (Homecourt advantage lessened)

Oklahoma City Thunder +11 - low total I see a tight low scoring game OKC covers.

[Cabo]

Detroit Pistons -7½
Denver Nuggets pk

Taking a flyer on the 2 teams with their new players.

[brock]

Oklahoma City Thunder +11 eleven seems like to big of number.
Los Angeles Clippers +5½ going to win one some time. Home tonight.

[VBOMBER]

NOH/Charlotte under 185.5 - This should be a real slow game, and while I worry about NOH putting up a huge number tonight, I think their D is just as likely to keep Charlotte from putting up much at all to keep this under the number

Dallas/Denver over 203.5 - Billups will improve Denver's offense, and I suspect Dallas will go up and down with them to get this over the number

[ertl09]

bucks/celtics under 185 --- bucks are playing better D this year and we all know boston is a good defensive teams

raptors +2.5 --- I feel that the raptors are the better team, if they shoot the 3 well they should win

[thezbar]

Bulls +4.5 I like the headstart with the home team.
Rockets -5.5 Big Talent edge but a bad #. I'll bite anyway.

[I.R.B]

Knicks u209.5 - Knicks are overrated and wont score 100 in this game..


Oklahoma City Thunder +11 - This is to much points for the jazz to be giving even to a shitty team like Oklahoma..

[Wrigley]

526 Los Angeles Clippers +5½
LA been getting rocked there due to win or stay close

518 Utah Jazz -11 ..11 is not enough Jazz by 20 plus

[treece]

513 Miami Heat Over 189. Both teams will light it up
518 Utah Jazz -11. OK is the worst team in the leauge.

[turnip]

Thunder/Jazz Over 181.5 - Easy home win for Utah, Sloan will give everyone the green light tonight, should make for a higher scoring affair.

Mavs/Nuggets Over 203.5 - Mavs on 2 days rest, and Billups is well rested of course..with these teams, fresh legs running up and down the court says over to me
