Good luck for all today. It's hard to choose just from 2 games, but gives us a chance to slow down and did not force anything. Maybe take the day off...

Yesterday won 4 units on 13 bets. Way to much for one day, but I'm learning to limit myself .  In process...

So good mood today and happy about only 2 games on radar

But 5 plays anyway, just 1 unit ...

NYK/SAS under 208    NYK will be Felton less and they offence will continue to struggle. Also they play slow pace offence with a lot dribiling pikNroll around 3p line our trying to pass Melo in post. Same bad games for them on defensive end and loses. Will try to play thair best D after same talk on locker room. SAS 4 game on 5 nights and POP may rest his stars. They should be tired end play little slower pace in favor for NYK.
NYK    ML

DEN/MIN OVER half 101.5 and all game 201.5

Both teams play fast pace up tempo game. DEN ran at home in full speed and TWolfs will ran with them. After last night loss MIN will bounce back and will play solid game. Lawson should be out, but no mater for this game. Just need normal shooting % couse there will be a lot attempts. Also need to make FT'S 70+ %

TWolfs +8

Feel good about my plays

Mavin do you play anything else besides NBA,I know you have a thread in NFL but didnt know that until a couple days ago,I know you had a couple leans on the Bowl games,but didnt see any plays and have not seen any mention of CBB,which is the sport I like to watch more than any other.
Since your from Canada I would guess you like Hockey,but doesnt mean you play it,but the only sport Ive had my own success on is baseball,as I find this one to be the easiest to cap,based on the biggest part of the game is the pitchers.

Denver is 10-1 SU and 9-2 ATS at home AND scores a ton. Minnesota doesn't play well on the road and is traveling on zero days rest. Loved it at 6.5... not as much at 8, but...

Medium bet on Denver for me.

Rubio has played for the Wolves this year.

He didn't travel with the team due to back spasms.

Mavin, What do you think about the totals on Denver game? It was 205 at 2:15 am and now it has drastically dropped to 201.5 ? In a line movement like this, what would you bet?

Hey kohler just to let you know I have to agree with oreooreo1.  Never play the house and especially not online.  Play handicap where theoretically you can create a small advantage or poker where you can create odds in your favor if you are good at it.  But even in poker beware of bots because they are out there.  Also I wouldnt put all your money down on 2 bets to try and get it all back.  It's slowly through consistency that you gain money back.  Right now Kohler you are not down anything you are actually even.  Why?? Because that money is already gone.  People tend to always want to get it back right away and in turn make an even bigger mistake.  Think about it if I had 100 dollars on betting and turned it into 190 on one cover. Then i bet that and won that bet and turned it into 280.  Then i bet that and etccc...  Eventually you will get what people call "unlucky" and lose, but in reality it was you just throwing your money down the drain eventually when you lose.  Just start where you are at and slowly gain a bankroll again and you will be happier that you did rather then throw all the money down on one big winner.  I mean thats my opinion, every once in a while if you see a "sure deal play" then maybe bet a little more but Mavin has said he stays consistenly cashing out every month because he always bets the same amounts and he keeps hte odds in his favor over time, winning money.  Either way BOL OF TO YOU  and i wish the best for ya....

my question is about options. do you have a website or maybe a way of getting in touch with you about options. i am looking for a good options consultant. thank you 
pm me. I can't discuss my extracurricular activities on NBA thread. It will be unethical. All I can tell you that I am even better options consultant than the sports handicapper.

Sportsmavin, 
If you don't mind, I would like to send a friend request. I have since retired from the markets but have (sorry had) a 3 and 7. Ran into an option trader who had a specific strategy i found amazing. Unfortunately he is no longer with us but would be interested in hearing your approach if its something you care to share.

Hey Melo,

You are alright and thanks for the advice.  I know these things logically but got caught up in the moment and the remorse afterwards.  Thnks and keep the flow goin'!

I am one of the silent majority who has been quietly following this thread and tailed some of your NBA picks. I have really learned a lot and have been pretty good at keeping the bets small and not chasing.  I started this fall with an $1100 bankroll and had recently gotten it up to $2020 through my own plays on NFL, College FBall,esp. Bowl Games and your help in NBA.

Last night I STUUUUUUPIDLY lost $700 on the online casino portion of my sportsbook. Now I basically have to start over but I am so tempted to get it all back in one or two bets this week to get "even".  Any thoughts out there from all how I can recover from this dumb mistake? 

First of all you're a very lucky man to still have a bankroll. Divide whatever you have (1320$?) into twenty and start betting what I post. It will take time to regain your 700$ lost and that is the price you'll have to pay and the lesson to learn for your own good not only in betting but in life. To gain it takes time - losing in instanr if you let that happen. Try to be a bettor not a degen gambler! GL

BOL on tonights games guys.....Right now I dont have anything I feel like betting on with a real true big advantage....I am looking at the Spurs or possibly Minn/Den under but I'm not feeling any of the 4 choices yet...

Spurs i feel better about simply because Knicks have been struggling a little bit and the spurs have won 7 straight now since they finally got fully healthy.  If you remember how the Spurs started the season and how well they did against the spread then you obviously remember how well they can play when they are at full strength.  Having Kawhi Leonard, Steven Jackson, and Neal all healthy makes a big difference in their lineup.  In the 7 straight games the closest win they had was by 5 points.  However the reason Im not jumping to take them is obviously the Knicks are one of the best home teams in the NBA and they are also healthier but still somewhat banged up with Amare just coming back, Melo and Chandler still with minor ankle and knee problems.  (though melo sure didnt look to injured against portland lol).  Both these teams have good depth and since Spurs are on a back to back they might have a little more limited minutes for the old veterans.  

With Lawson most likely out for the Nuggets I think there is a decent shot that Minn and Denver game goes under.  The last 5 uptempo teams Minn played, OKC, HOUSTON, NYK, MIA, PHX, the highest total besides the game against PHX was 195. Infact only 6 outta Minn 28 games have gone over 200,  but last time they played Denver there was 213 points,which I think is why the total was so high and because Denvers always uptempo offense.  

With that being said right now these are small leans and I'm not sure about betting either.....waiting to hear from Mavin......BOL TO YOU GUYS...
