Doing similar thing here and the last line always gets to within 1 pt or it goes over it on OKC games- yesterday was 203 (last line) I had a pretty good night yesterday with a middle on the last game based on patterns from the first two games.

Lets see what today brings.

Suns.. sure.

I have explained this a bit before but not all the books carry it- BM does and a few others I think also carry it. An open parlay (based on the rules at my book) require a minimum of $50 (sometimes they make exceptions) and you can do up to a 10 team parlay as you normally would. What the open parlay system allows you to do is to fill it in as you go. So lets say you do $50 and pick Houston Under 209 last night and say you want open spots, you then select how many you want up to a total of 10 including your picks- you can select as many picks as you want when you initially set this up but the idea is to keep it lean so that you can then cherry pick your games. BM has 90 days for you to complete the parlay. Which means that if you pick Bulls or Nets today and 1-9 open spots you have 90 days from today to complete the parlay. Why do it? Well I do do my picks to open the parlay and also play it straight, so as long as I keep the streak going the parlay stays open and win as I go also. For instance on a MIA game last week I picked Heat ML and the Under for $50 with some series winners as well... I also went to win same amount on the total not the ML as that made very little sense with the juice. So basically the parlay has been funded with that first win. The next picks are sort of speak free as only amount at risk is the initial $50. As it turns out I may have to pick the Bulls today because on of the series i have there is the Nets so if the Nets lose so does the parlay.

 PARLAY (7 TEAMS)

04/25/2013 @ 07:15 PM NBA

[733] MIAMI GM3 -325

04/25/2013 @ 07:15 PM NBA

[734] TOTAL u197-150 (B+2) 

(MIAMI GM3 vrs MILWAUKEE GM3)

05/02/2013 @ 08:05 PM NBA

[886] NETS SERIES EV

05/03/2013 @ 09:35 PM NBA

[888] CLIPPERS SERIES -640

05/02/2013 @ 10:35 PM NBA

[884] NUGGETS SERIES -250

04/25/2013 @ 07:09 PM

OPEN PLAY

04/25/2013 @ 07:09 PM

OPEN PLAY

50.00 1235.84


Keep in mind the the series were picked on same day because at the time series were only being accepted for parlays online- not until this week did they accept them over the phone.


To fill the open spots you have to call it in which means you can't wait until last minute or you may miss the line. You can start the parlay online but the max on BM online is 2 open spots- if you call it in you can get up to 9 open for a total of 10 with one pick.

Hey Marvin, I think I should be 1-1-1. I had OKC Thunder PK in game 3, but it was listed as a lost bet.  Either way, thanks for organizing this thread. I hope everyone is winning money from it.

I am itching to bet BRK and Over, but I think the over might be a bait. I am going to wait closer to the start to see on the status of Gibson and Deng.

Lets talk history- do any of these teams really come back to win a series i believe its 8 teams in history back from 3-1 to win- and zero teams from 3-0 to win- so you have celtics and rockets looking to buck that trend- I think the knicks end it tomorrow- do we see rockets tying this up?

Then we have Nets and Nuggets at the 3-1 starting position do they push a game 7 and do they win?

SunsDevils 9-2 (43-40)

BRO Nets +1

I really wanted to play the over, but just going with the Nets here. Bulls team is a mess right now. Just saw a report that Nate Robinson is sick as well. They don't know who is going to play for them as half of the Bulls is a game time decision. No Hinrich, means Williams will have a good game. If the Nets lose this one, that might be even worse than when they blew the last game @ CHI.

aleiverson02 2-4 

Over 211 DEN Nuggets - GS Warriors -107

Every game has gone over but one and I think it should have gone over anyways. These two teams love to shoot and I see nothing slowing down especially with the Warriors at home. Steph Curry will kill it in front of the crowd. Dunno if they win but def see lots of points coming

deem 1-1-1

GS Warriors -2

Golden State has won by an avg of 10 this series, whereas Denver has won by an avg of 4.5. Also, GS is the only team to win on the road. I don't think that will change tonight. Curry should be shooting well again to show that he can't get thrown off by some minor rough play.

BOL to everyone tonight.

I think Nets have a good chance to do it because the Bulls are all either sick or hurt in the critical game 6. I am not sure what it is, but it seems like Denver gets timid when GS goes on a run. I like GS tonight, but there is something fishy about this 2 point spread at home with close to 90% of the public them. Same with the over.

Jpaco 17-14-1

Under 184 CHI Bulls - BK Nets

if chi won't have that much players to score theyll have enough players to defend

DEN Nuggets +2

i sill see that den is a better team than gs and they need to step up big time on their def since that's the way the won game 5


Under 211 GS Warriors - DEN Nuggets

i just see both team being agressive on their def knowing they both score crazy specially den if they want to win they need to stop gs guards


BOL EVERYONE

Haven't posted picks before...thought I'd see how I would do.  Always enjoy reading the thread though.  Let me know if my formatting is off

Cmcmahan 0-0

GS Warriors -2

Think mark Jackson is pushing the right buttons.  Also not going against Curry at home.

BRO Nets +1

Hinrich being out again is the key for me here.  Also Deng and Gibson game time decisions doesn't bode well.  Nets want a game 7 on their home floor

Leaning warriors - nuggets over and nets - bulls under but not enough to pull the trigger.
