Oklahoma City @ Brooklyn (-9)

Denver at New York Knicks (+6.5)

Miami @ Boston (+6)

Los Angeles Lakers @ Houston (+3)

San Antonio @ Minnesota (+3.5)

Toronto @ Golden State (+3)

Truths to be self evident

Last night, the Philadelphia 76ers showed there’s no such thing as easy money in Vegas. The Nuggets were 13.5 favorites because the Sixers were missing half their team due to COVID protocols and the Nuggets failed to cover. There’s a reason Vegas sports books made a record $54 million dollars on a half billion dollars wagered on sporting events.

The Utah Jazz continue their road trip in Detroit where the spread continues to grow requiring Utah to cover more points. The Chicago Bulls, getting no respect, are double digit underdogs to the Los Angeles Clippers. Cleveland was a double digit underdog until Giannis was ruled out. Cleveland would have covered double digits as they lost by 10.

Oklahoma City, fresh off a win agains the Knicks, play Brooklyn expected to return Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Irving doesn’t want to play without Durant because he has to work too hard. Irving showed in Boston he can’t carry the weight and obviously Irving isn’t even going to try. There will be times Brooklyn rests Durant and Irving because the rest together. This is when the Nets will have value.

Denver plays the Knicks who failed to cover the spread as a first time favorite this season against the Jazz in their last game. Miami and Boston have a rematch with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in question. Plus, Boston is still missing front court depth due to COVID protocols.

The Lakers play the Rockets and Fat James Harden with the spread hanging around three because LeBron James and Anthony Davis are questionable every game. San Antonio and Minnesota play on consecutive nights with last night seeing the return of Karl Anthony Townes. Will he rest on a back to back?

Finally, the Toronto Raptors, who finally won their second game, play in the bay against Steph Curry and company.

The Computer

The computer, whom we respect, went a paltry 1-7 against the spread but a dominating 6-2 on over/unders. Correctly predicting a Phoenix outright win carries weight outside the actuals. For example, there have been instances of the computer predicting the score of a NBA game. Far more instances of correctly predicting one team’s score. Instances of correctly predicting the total points in an NBA game. These instances add validity to the predictions.

Tonight’s predictions

Detroit +8, Detroit outright

Chicago +12.5, Chicago outright

Golden State +3, Golden State outright

These teams are getting no respect.

San Antonio @ Minnesota (+4.5)

Cleveland @ Milwaukee (-12.5)

Orlando @ Dallas (-6)

Portland @ Sacramento (+5.5)

Truths to be self evident

Last night, the Detroit Pistons showed there is no such thing as “easy money” in Vegas winning outright against the heavily favored Phoenix Suns.

The Denver Nuggets face a Philadelphia 76ers team with the required eight players available though they will play the game with seven players because the other half of the team is in quarantine after Seth Curry tested positive for COVID.

The Miami Heat, strong in every other game, face the Washington Wizards with Russell Westbrook questionable. The Atlanta Hawks, still without Danilo Gallinari and Rajon Rondo, face the Charlotte Hornets, winners of two straight as an average 6.5 point underdog.

The Phoenix Suns are on a back to back facing an Indiana Pacers team continuing to win without their best player T.J. Warren for the foreseeable future. The San Antonio Spurs face perhaps the worst team in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who could potentially return their best player Karl Anthony-Townes.

The Cleveland Cavaliers complete their six game road trip facing the Milwaukee Bucks and are double digit underdogs. The Orlando Magic, short handed with the loss of Markelle Fultz for the season and Evan Fournier still being ruled out game after game.

Finally, the Portland Trailblazers face the Sacramento Kings, on a back to back, with Vegas expecting a lot of points from teams who don’t play defense.

The computer

Last night, the computer got a reprieve from analysis as real life resulted in missing six game predictions. For some reason, the computer does not want to show the results after the game has started. In my opinion, Sportsline recognizes how much time is spent on their website analyzing the computer’s predictions and removes the predictions on an account specific basis. If this opinion were true, meaning I’m seeing something different than other Sportsline customers, credibility of the entire Sportsline system could be called into question.

I can tell you the computer went 4-6 against the spread and correctly predicted the over/under in two out of three games. There were no A rated games to analyze.

Tonight’s predictions

Sacramento +5.5

Toronto @ Sacramento (+5)

Los Angeles Clippers @ Golden State (+6.5)

Chicago @ Los Angeles Lakers (-9.5)

Truths to be self evident

Last night, Luka Doncic showed when you’re struggling from three point range, keep shooting.

The Phoenix Suns, continuing to grow from their 8-0 impressive bubble performance over the summer face the Detroit Pistons coming off consecutive double digit losses to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Charlotte Hornets, fresh off beating Atlanta outright as six point underdogs, face the New Orleans Pelicans who could be without J.J. Redick.

The Washington Wizards face the Boston Celtics who lack depth in the front court due to COVID protocols. The Oklahoma City Thunder, outright winners as eight point underdogs two nights ago, face a New York Knicks team continuing to win outright and cover spreads. The Knicks have won three straight in games where they were an average eight point underdog and covered five of their last six games. What happens tonight when the Knicks are a favorite?

The struggling Jazz continue their road trip in Milwaukee against Giannis and company having suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of short handed Brooklyn and a Knicks team continuing to show they might be pretty good.

The Orlando Magic, winners of two in a row over the Cleveland Cavaliers, take on Fat James Harden and the Houston Rockets who are perhaps getting too much respect having lost three of four and covering one spread.

The Brooklyn Nets, mysteriously without Kyrie Irving who isn’t playing due to “personal reasons”, and Kevin Durant continued to show they can compete with an outright win over the Sixers last night, face the Memphis Grizzlies who should be faded until Ja Morant returns. I don’t think Memphis should be favored over anyone.

The Toronto Raptors, 1-6 on the season, and losers of three straight are somehow five point favorites in Sacramento. Sacramento could be without De’Aaron Fox and his status will certainly move the spread. The Clippers and Warriors play for the second time in three nights. Should we expect a different result than the Clippers seven point win in their last meeting?

Finally, the Chicago Bulls, winners of five of the last six against the spread, face the Los Angeles Lakers on the second night of a back to back.

The Computer

The Computer, whom we respect, went 2-3 against the spread last night, and a sizzling 4-1 on over/unders. Tonight, the computer likes underdogs Washington, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Brooklyn, Sacramento, and Chicago to all cover with Brooklyn winning outright.

Tonight’s predictions

Sacramento +5 and will take extra points if Fox ruled out

Los Angeles Clippers -6.5

Five games scheduled

Philadelphia @ Brooklyn (+1.5)

Cleveland @ Memphis (-5)

Minnesota @ Portland (-10)

Dallas @ Denver (-2.5)

San Antonio @ Los Angeles Lakers (-7)

Truths to be self evident

Last night, the Charlotte Hornets winning outright legitimized some of our efforts when combined with the Orlando Magic easily covering six points against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Philadelphia is playing on a back to back where their best player, Joel Embiid, may rest and coming off a grueling 141-136 victory over the Washington Wizards seeing Bradley Beal score 60 and Russell Westbrook dislocate his finger.

The Cavaliers are on a back to back playing their third game in four nights, fourth game in six nights, and fifth game of a six game road trip. If there was ever a “throw” game on the schedule, this is it against a Memphis team who played the Lakers relatively tough the past two games.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are ten point underdogs to the Portland Trailblazers who probably shouldn’t be ten point favorites over anyone right now.

The Dallas Mavericks face the Denver Nuggets in a game that could go either way. The Nuggets return Michael Porter Jr. from health and safety protocols while the Mavericks are still without Kristaps Porzingis.

Finally, the Spurs play the Lakers for the third time inside a week. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both questionable with one expected to sit.

The Computer

The computer, whom we respect, went 5-6 against the spread and 4-7 on over/unders. Perhaps more importantly, the computer went 2-1 on A rated action, correctly predicting the Clippers by 5 and over 228.5 in the Bulls/Kings game. A rated predictions are now 8-9 on the season with the computer missing on over 231 in the Clippers/Warriors game.

Memphis -3.5

Detroit Pistons @ Milwaukee Bucks (-12)

Toronto Raptors @ Phoenix Suns (-3)

Chicago Bulls @ Sacramento Kings (-7)

Los Angeles Clippers @ Golden State Warriors (+1.5)

Truths to be self evident

Last night, the Brooklyn Nets were a big win showing spreads over reacting to the news of one player being out. Yet, one player being out for the Clippers resulted in an outright win for the underdog Spurs.

The Rockets play Indiana and will be short handed. The Philadelphia 76ers look to improve on their impressive start against the Washington Wizards who don’t play defense. The Cleveland Cavaliers rematch for the second time in three days agains the Orlando Magic who could return one of their best players Evan Fournier.

The Boston Celtics, fresh off a blow out win over the Toronto Raptors in a game seeing a forty point swing, face the Miami Heat in a rematch of the eastern conference finals from three months ago. The Charlotte Hornets, fresh off consecutive double digit losses to the 76ers face the Atlanta Hawks who aren’t the same team without Rajon Rondo.

The Utah Jazz, on a back to back after last night’s embarrassment at the hands of the short handed Brooklyn Nets, face a Knicks team doing just one thing … covering spreads. The Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the worst teams in the NBA, and certainly the worst team in the west, face the New Orleans Pelicans who seem to excelling in defense and a slower pace under their new head coach.

The Detroit Pistons are again double digit underdogs to the Milwaukee Bucks, fresh off covering 16 points two nights ago. Toronto is reeling facing a Phoenix Suns team building off their impressive bubble performance while the Chicago Bulls, winners outright in Portland last night, are getting no respect on the back to back in Sacramento as nearly eight point dogs.

Finally, the Clippers, expected to be without Kawhi Leonard and possibly Paul George, travel to the bay and face Steph Curry and the Warrior who have been lighting up the scoreboard the past three games.

The Computer

The computer, whom we respect, went 3-2 against the spread and 2-3 on over/unders. Particularly impressive was the computer predicting Memphis, San Antonio, and Chicago to all cover.

Tonight, the computer likes underdog Houston, Boston, Toronto, and Chicago to all cover with the Rockets and Fat James Harden winning outright.

A note about the Computer’s A Rating … a 63% win rate. So far this season, A Ratings have a win percentage of 42.8. There’s opportunity, perhaps, depending on your level of respect for the computer. Tonight, the computer’s A ratings are currently over 229.5 in Bulls/Kings game and the Los Angeles Clippers -1.5 against Golden State. However, certainly the Clippers rating will change once Leonard’s and George’s status becomes clear.

Tonight’s picks:

Charlotte +6 + outright

Orlando -5.5

Five games scheduled

Utah Jazz @ Brooklyn Nets (+4.5)

Los Angeles Lakers @ Memphis Grizzlies (+9)

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets (-10.5)

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers (-9.5)

Chicago Bulls @ Portland Trailblazers (-9.5)

Truths to be self evident

The Brooklyn Nets will be without Kevin Durant due to COVID protocols the next seven days and the Utah Jazz are so heavily favored with 61% of the bets and 80% of the money, surely Brooklyn winning outright is the bet to make.

The Lakers meet the Grizzlies for the second time in three days. Should we expect the outcome to be any different two days later? Minnesota and Denver also meet for the second time in three days. Should we expect a different outcome?

The Spurs may get LaMarcus Aldridge back from injury but the spread continues to move toward double digits. Double digit spreads are 5-5 on the season with the most recent cover by the Detroit Pistons (+16) against the Milwaukee Bucks last night.

The Chicago Bulls, fresh off a win against the Dallas Mavericks without Luka Doncic face Dame in Portland who were lit up by Steph Curry two nights ago.

The computer

The computer, whom we respect, is picking Memphis, San Antonio, and Chicago to cover. Yesterday, the computer went 4-5 against the spread and 4-5 on over/unders. Correctly picking Boston and the Knicks to cover beat the sharps who went 4-4 yesterday.

“Systems” like San Antonio +9.5 and Minnesota +10.5 as these are road teams off against the spread road losses. However, the early trend in teams meeting in consecutive contests over three days is the result is the same from the first game meaning the Lakers and Denver should both cover tonight.

Boston Celtics @ Toronto Raptors (-4)

Dallas Mavericks @ Houston Rockets (-4)

Indiana Pacers @ New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5)

Detroit Pistons @ Milwaukee Bucks (-16)

Sacramento Kings @ Golden State Warriors (+2.5)

Truths to be self evident

Last night, Steph Curry dropped 62 on the Portland Trailblazers reminding us the NBA is quality entertainment. The Charlotte Hornets lost by 15 two nights ago to the 76ers yet are expected to cover eight tonight.

The Cavaliers are overrated coming off a win against a gassed Atlanta Hawks team while the Magic are underrated after losing two straight to the aforementioned 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder

Atlanta looks to bounce back against the Knicks who covered nine points in their last outing against the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics are getting four points against the Toronto Raptors and are on a back to back, perhaps lowly rated in the eyes of the public after squeaking out a two point win yesterday against the Detroit Pistons.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting no respect and nine points in Miami who are fully healthy. The Mavericks and Rockets hook up in a game where Luka Doncic and James Harden are both expected to play while the Indiana Pacers continue without their best player, TJ Warren, for the foreseeable future facing a Pelicans team looking fairly strong out of the gate.

The Pistons, on a back to back, are getting a ridiculous 16 points against the Milwaukee Bucks while Golden State, also on a back to back, are getting no respect at home against the Kings even after Steph dropped 62 last night.

The Computer

The computer, whom we respect, perhaps more than we should, went 3-5 against the spread last night and ridiculously solid 6-2 on over/unders. To date, the computer is 42-47 against the spread and 48-40 on over/unders.

Tonight, the computer likes underdogs Cleveland, Oklahoma City, the Knicks, Boston, and Dallas to all cover the spread with Dallas winning outright.

Last night, the sharps went 4-2, losing on Memphis (+9), perhaps showing there’s nothing sharp about betting against LeBron James, and Minnesota (+8.5). Both Memphis and Minnesota were covering the spread deep into the fourth quarter but the favorites pulled away in the end.

Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns (+3.5)

Dallas Mavericks @ Chicago Bulls (+6)

Portland Trailblazers @ Golden State Warriors (+5)

Truths to be self evident

The Pistons aren’t very good and the owner is stressing patience to the fan base. The Brooklyn Nets are one of the best perceived teams in the NBA while the Lakers will always be heavily bet by the public creating value.

The Jazz play great defense while San Antonio are keeping games close. The Timberwolves will continue to struggle without their best player Karl Anthony Townes. The Clippers will be heavily bet by the public creating value while the Suns are playing the best defense in the NBA.

The Dallas Mavericks have a leading MVP candidate while the Bulls are clearly rebuilding under first year head coach Billy Donovan and missing key rotational players.

Steph Curry will always be great yet the Warriors haven’t been impressive in the early going while Dame and Portland are finding ways to win.

The Computer

As stated previously, we value the computer’s opinion. The computer is picking underdogs Washington, Memphis, and Phoenix to cover with the Suns winning outright against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Yesterday, the computer was 3-3 against the spread and 3-3 on over/unders while the sharps went 4-1.

Six games scheduled

Sacramento Kings @ Houston Rockets (-5.5)

Charlotte Hornerts @ Philadelphia 76ers (-10)

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Orlando Magic (-5.5)

New York Knicks @ Indiana Pacers (-9)

Toronto Raptors @ New Orleans Pelicans (+1)

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Atlanta Hawks (-5.5)

Truths to be self evident

Does a team organizing a block buster trade for their best player, who is out of shape by the way, seem like a team winning many games by six points? There’s sharp money on the Kings and the computer agrees.

Double digits in a NBA contest is often too many. Charlotte lost outright last night to Memphis, missing their best player Ja Morant, while the Sixers are covering at home and on the road and playing good defense. Charlotte shot 9/31 (29%) from three point range and 40.7% overall from the field. The Hornets are double digit underdogs, under valued, on a back to back, while the sharp action is on Philly.

The Thunder are getting 5.5 at Orlando, who were crushed thoroughly by the Sixers in their first loss of the season two days ago. Oklahoma City lost by 33 in their last outing. Is there value in this line?

The Knicks are facing an Indiana team without their best player, T.J. Warren, who is out indefinitely with a foot injury. The Pacers without their best player for one game, a 20 point win against the Cavaliers, is one thing, the Pacers without their best player indefinitely will not be giving their opponent nine points, a virtual double digit spread, very long.

Toronto faces the Pelicans in a virtual pick-em between the two most defensive teams in the NBA, though a small sample size. Toronto is not the same team without Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol while the Pelicans are playing slow paced, defensive basketball. There’s value on the Knicks line because Toronto rallied late to win by 17 two days ago. The sharp money is on the Pelicans and while 99% of the money is on the over, currently 215.5, sometimes, it could be fun to make a bet where you want the house to win.

Finally, the hapless Cavaliers face the Atlanta Hawks who beat the Brooklyn Nets, a perceived NBA heavy hitter last night, and lost a close, high scoring games two nights ago. Atlanta is playing their third game in four nights. The sharp money on the Cavaliers is weighing this factor too heavily.

The computer

We value the computer’s opinion and trust the source of the data widely available to the public for a small monthly fee. The computer contends underdogs Sacramento, Charlotte, Oklahoma City, and the Knicks will all cover the spread tonight.

The computer has been red hot the past few days, including the last six of seven, and an insane 11-4 the past two days. Is it time to fade the computer?

Do we make bets based on small data samples collected over the previous two seasons and nothing more? Nah, we watch the basketball games, as many as we can, and try to formulate our opinions based on what we see, incorporating factors like the Atlanta Hawks are at a disadvantage playing their third game in four nights. However, they are the home team and Cleveland is missing too many players to keep up.

Easiest money on the NBA Slate

Atlanta -5.5. Sure, Andre Drummond will get his twenty points and rebounds. Sexton and Garland might play lights out but Trey Young + Cleveland Cavaliers, who should be faded until at least Kevin Love returns, equals easy money. But, you can make a bet with real money fading the sharps and agreeing with the computer and some random guy on the internet.

The Cavs are still over valued from beating the Sixers, at home, by 24. The Sixers sat Embiid, and the Cavs promptly lost outright while being favored to the equally challenged New York Knicks as 3.5 point favorites in their next game. The Cavaliers are a team who will struggle to score 100 points in a NBA contest.

The pick seems so easy, certainly the smart bet is Cavaliers +5.5? What about Oklahoma City? A bet on Orlando (-5.5) is fading 99% of the money, 72% of the public, and the computer while a bet on Atlanta (-5.5) is fading just 32% of the money and 42% of the money while agreeing with the red hot computer who’s due to cool off. Which contest would you fade?

MyBookie – A Review

December 28, 2020 | Posted in Publishing | By

Publisher’s Note: Published for a friend who left Bovada for various reasons and opened an account with MyBookie a couple years ago. I bare no liability for this clown’s opinion.

A Review Based on Experience

Thank you to my friend with a blog nobody reads and the opportunity to share my personal experience with MyBookie over the past two years. First, I have been paid Sports Book winnings every time I’ve requested MyBookie to pay me some winnings.

And, right off the bat, I want to say, in my opinion, sports book rating should raise their grade. I’ve had zero problems with MyBookie in two years of recreational sports gambling. Their odds seem fair and seem to match consensus lines, the live betting feature is unmatched in my opinion, and I’ve been paid my winnings every single time. In my opinion, if you, as a person researching online sports books, are not conducting business with your sports book in Bitcoin, you, as an internet sports gambler, aren’t doing it right.

The Odds Boosts are Awesome

And worth establishing an account with MyBookie. There will be times during the year when the house “boosts” the odds for certain events. For example, say Alabama is a consensus 24.5 favorite against rival Auburn. MyBookie will “boost” the odds, for example, to Auburn +31.5 and cap the odds “boost” bet at $10 or maybe $25. Would you, as a person who gambles on sports via the internet take Auburn plus 31.5, seven points over the consensus line of +24.5? It’s fun in my opinion.

Understand Any Books Bonus Rules

In my opinion, MyBookie rates low with sports book rating because people did not understand the bonus rule and in my opinion, that’s on them, not the house. Understand the difference between a “free play” bonus and a “cash” bonus. Understand rollover. Understand you cannot draw from the account until the play through, or roll over, on any book, is achieved.

The rules on account play through when accepting a bonus is the same on MyBookie as Bovada. Understand you cannot make a withdrawal on the account until the play through is reached. If you have to deposit more money into the account and have not achieved the rollover, you cannot withdraw the money whether you are with Bovada, Bookmaker, or MyBookie.

Phenomenal Customer Service

Anytime I had a question, customer service was prompt, friendly, and answered the question. I didn’t have any issues, because, in my opinion, MyBookie is a good book, requiring customer service’s attention in two years. They were very helpful when I signed up for a new account and made my first deposit to make sure I understood their bonus program and rollover requirement.

If someone made a deposit into an online, overseas, sports book and did not understand the book’s bonus program, that is on the person, not the book. The majority of complaints about MyBookie are from people who accepted their new account bonus program and failed to understand how the bonus program worked and completely failed to understand how a rollover works.

MyBookie, as a fairly new book with six years of history simply has not been around, in my opinion, long enough to have anything higher than a C- grade. People complaining about having to send documentation regarding identity to get paid by any online sports book should have accomplished this required task to be paid by any on line sports book when they opened their new account and, most likely, accepted the bonus program.

To those “Complaining”

One, there aren’t many complaints that are recent. And, the complaints are because the person did not understand the difference between “free play” and “cash” bonus programs various books offer. That’s on the person. I’ll let you in on a trade secret. Any online sports book, whether it’s Bookmaker, or Bovada, or MyBookie, their bonus program is designed to make money. Their entire business model is you accepting a bonus with a reasonable rollover (five to eight times) the deposit PLUS the bonus. Again, and I cannot emphasize this enough, understanding how the bonus program works is on you. You might have to “reload” to reach the bonus. Again, a trade secret, this is how an online sports book makes money.

To this guy making YouTube videos complaining about MyBookie. Bro, you did not understand their bonus program. That’s on you. You obviously had to “reload” and maybe “won”, however, your account had not reached the required rollover. Of course MyBookie isn’t going to pay you. No other online sports book would pay you either if your account had not reached the required rollover. Also, your claim you didn’t “know” you signed up for the bonus is ridiculous and, in my opinion, false.

And, I have no reason to fabricate any of the words in this post published by a friend. I hope you found it useful as the reader and consider them for your online sports gambling needs.

I have no commentary on the casino portion of the establishment other than the organization, MyBookie, has paid me my winnings every time without any issue via BitCoin.
