    Default Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Monday, 4/28/08

    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.

    #718 Orl -7.5 : i look for Van Gundy to light a fire under his players to finish the Raps off.

    RAPTORS +7.5: Magic may wrap things up, but this seems like a lot of points. The Raptors have not gotten blown out since Game 1, and the desperation factor should ensure they fight until the end.

    NUGGETS +4.5: Just about the worst thing you can call a professionals athlete is a "quitter"'. I think the Nuggets respond with their best game of the series before losing in LA.

    Nuggets +4.5 I think the nuggets will be the suns from yesterday. They will not want to get swept and lose on their own court.

    Atlanta over 189.5 They can score at home and with Boston pissed and Atlanta showing life last game, I think they will score points.

    Boston -9 : Do not think they can play bad 2 in a row.

    LA/Den over 227.5 : If Denver has any pride they will score enough to make this go over.

    Boston -9-If this team is forreal it's going to be now or never. Celtics should crush Atlanta today.

    Orlando vs Raptors 203.5-both teams are probably going to go all out today, and it should be high scoring after teetering with the under in the last two. Plus Orlando shoots better behind the arc at home.

    Toronto/Orlando over 203.5 - Both offenses show up tonight

    Boston/Atlanta under 189.5 - Half court game with good D at least from Boston

    Default

    720 Boston/Atlanta Under 189½ Boston should be focused tonight at home and should buckle down on D and limit the Hawks to mid 80's at the most while scoring around mid 90's.


    717 Toronto Raptors/Orlando Magic over 203.5
    All four games in this series so far have featured a decent pace that favors the over. The 2 lowest scoring games came to 200 and 202 which were DD games...had they been closer both of those games would have been higher as well. I expect a close game from the fighting T-Raps with late fouls to help the total.

    Lakers -4.5: Lakers close it out tonight after the Nuggets drama.

    Lakers/Nuggets Over 227.5: Nuggets won't play any D because they win games with offense and they need to win this game. Lakers win 121-111.

    Thumbs up

    Are you kidding me?

    Yesterday our top two players:

    (1) Posted their picks @ the identical time,
    (2) And then made the identical selections!
    Go figure!

    Maybe they should team up on a Power Ball ticket?
