[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.

LT Profits, im not sure if i'd be up by the time you post your thread and lines tomorrow, so i was wondering if i could post it here now and perhaps you'd be kind enough to consider this as my parlay entry. thanks in advance!

Raptors -3
coming off two losses and a tough game ahead against boston, i expect raptors to come out and play on this game! dd win!

Hawks -5
unbeaten (4-0) hawks' josh smith is out but i dont think that will make that much difference against this lowly durantula-led thunder team!

I'll let it go this time only, but next time start a new thread using my exact title wording, changing the day/date.

[Wrigley]

Charlotte +4
Bobcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Knicks +4
Knicks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

[THEGREAT30]

Dallas -4 Clippers are a good team to go against until they prove the ability to win a game, but the Mavericks are old and garbage also. So, maybe this is the day for the Clips, but I doubt it.

Sac -3.5 I wanted to jump on this line at first site, the only way the Warriors cover this one is if Maggette comes back tonite and scores 25 or more or if Kevin Martin or Brad Miller sits out, their is know concrete evidence to prove any of these things.

[redrum]

Boston +1.5 still the best team in the east utah-4 not sold on the knicks

[picantel]

Dallas Mavericks -4: If the mavs cannot cover 4 against the crappy clippers then they need to disband.

Sacramento Kings -3½: Sac has been a good play when they are at home. Away is another matter entirely.

[JDUB07]

Rockets +7.5- Rockets best team in the league in my opinion and any time I can get points with them I'm alllll over it!!

Golden State +3.5- Warriors have alot more weapons then Sactown and see them winning this one outright.

[sportsfun]

509 atlanta -4.5. hawks seem to be jelling
515 los angeles lakers -7.5. lakers playing well and should cover spread which is in single digits.

[mundane]

I'll let it go this time only, but next time start a new thread using my exact title wording, changing the day/date.

thanks LT!

[ryanXL977]

memphis+8.5: solid good team getting a lot of pts,denver is god awful
memphis denver opver 198. denver plays no d

[ertl09]

jazz -4 --- far better team playing against a knicks team that doesn't play much D

mavs/ clips over 185 ---- feeling a high scoring game, total seems low, we all know dallas can score and also let yup a lot

[LT Profits]

HAWKS/THUNDER OVER 183: The lowest combined point output in the last six head-to-head meeting between these franchises was 189 points, with three of those meetings seeing both teams crack the century mark.

ROCKETS/LAKERS OVER 188.5: The Lakers are averaging 101.0 points per game at home while the Rockets are averaging an identical 101,0 points per game on the road.

[WestsidePete]

LT, shouldn't I be 3-5 with a win yesterday?? I posted a new second team taking the TWolves to go with the Suns pick once I knew Harris was out a minute after the first post...I believe my two posts are back to back yesterday.....thanks

[WestsidePete]

Knicks +4: Playing at home and on a roll vs a team historically horrible on the road.

Rockets +7.5: Rockets are one of the best teams in the league now and should be able to stay within the pts here.

[gm2022]

Atlanta Hawks -4½ On a great roll playing a team that has no clue whats going on!

Dallas Mavericks -4 Mavs should be able to cover this with ease with Dirk and company!

[thezbar]

Boston +1.5 Celtics should be focused to make an early season statement
Rockets +7.5 Enough talent to keep it close.

[treece]

Boston Celtics +1½. AI ain't shit.
Houston Rockets Over 188½. Both teams can score.

WestsidePete,

I responded to you in yesterday's thread. Once you post a valid parlay, you cannot change either play. Read the second sentence of Rule #5.

Sorry.

[playa420]

Los Angeles Lakers -7½: Lakers are the much better team, and the Rockets are 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

Denver Nuggets -8½:Nuggets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Southwest.Grizzlies are 3-10 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Denver.

[Deke101]

hawks -4.5: take them til they lose.

gs/sac over 214/5: both teams like to play fast paced.

[PureGuava]

Sacramento Kings -3½ Under 214½

Kings win tonight at home but not that high scoring of a game. 214 is alot of points.

[I.R.B]

Lakers- Over 188½ - 2 high scoreing teams should be a good 1..

Kings - u214.5 - dont think the kings will hit enough to get 100+ points.

[turnip]

Warriors +3.5 - Sacramento has played over their heads the past couple games, they'll fall back tonight.

Rockets/Lakers Over 188.5 - Lakers won't stop Yao/McGrady, but the Rockets could really use Battier tonight, and it sounds like he won't be back. So I expect a good night for both offenses

[Richkas]

516 Los Angeles Lakers -7½ (Lakers best NBA team at home)


515 Houston Rockets Over 188½
516 Los Angeles Lakers (Lakers coming off triple digit performance, they do the same tonight)
