Last night was RUFF… to say the least!

We could go through the few bad beats from last night, but all that matters are the results, hockey moneylines were an issue as a couple big upsets stunned most…

Let’s just move forward and look ahead. Another full slate of action ahead, we’ll get our full picks out later today.

Beginners tip: What do the actual odds (numbers) mean!?!?

Any odds with a minus sign (like -110) indicate that you must risk more than you'll win — a $110 bet at -110 would win $100. Any betting odds with a plus sign (like +150) means you'll win more than you risked — a $100 bet at +150 wins $150. If you win a bet, you'll receive the payout, plus your original wager back.

Hard: 2/6 - 30%
EXTREME: 1/1- 100%

Recap: The “Hard” picks killed us with a goose egg, however if you took the risk on the EXTREME pick, it was a nice payout with the Timberwolves upsetting the OKC Thunder in their own barn. The odds might have been “extreme” but the logic wasn’t. Anytime you have a back to back, single site series and the first game was close, you best believe the away team should find a way to win the second game, which they did- in a crazy 26 point comeback The only anomaly in that game was Anthony Edwards not even hitting 20 pts in a victory (in overtime nonetheless) which was our only blemish for our “Easy Picks”. The NHL slate was light, so we only had our NBA parlay. Which went 3/4, however it was a good early cashout opportunity with the 3 wins happening all in early games and the 4th being a Lamelo 4+ three point bet. Nothing wrong with taking an early cash out if it results in profit!

What’s a “Sports Book”?

A “Sports Book” is simply referring to the platform you are placing your bets on. Examples of popular sports books are: DraftKings, Fan Duel, Ceasers, Prize Picks ect…

Many of these books are constantly running promotions every day! So make sure to “claim” every promotion, every day to add boosts, free plays, no sweat offers and first time deposit bonuses!

Definition of the day: SGP & SGPX Same Game Parlay and Same Game Parlay Extra-

A same game parlay is picking multiple bets within a singular game to all happen. Each pick within the parlay increases the odds of a bigger win but is a “all or nothing” bet. For example, if you pick 4 bets to happen in one game ALL 4 have to happen in order for you to win.

A same game parlay extra is also picking multiple bets to happen, however you pick these bets through multiple games as opposed to just one. Once again, all bets have to hit or you win nothing.

*Several sports books have promotions solely based around SGP and SGPX so make sure to always check to see if there’s a boost before you make your bet!

RESULTS from 02/23/25

Summary: Well…these picks proved why each category had the bets that they did! A couple misses were within ONE easy stat for a win…,such as Zion having 9 rebounds (10), Forsberg 4 SOG’s(5), Calgary 1 goal spread (1.5). Also, the unfortunate game with a COL Avalanche team that is 8th in the league in scoring with a rare 1 goal game, ruining our Moneyline pick as well as our Nathan McKinnon 2+ point pick.

Overall Scores Per Category:

Easy Picks: 10/10- 100 %
Medium: 5/10- 50%
Hard: 2/10- 20%
Extreme Picks: 0/2
Parlays: both missed- NHL 3/4 & NBA 2/4

NBA Overall: 9/15- 60% (not including Parlay & Extreme picks)

NHL Overall: 8/15 -53% (not including Parlay & Extreme picks)

As always, nothing is ever guaranteed, but overall a decent night, especially if you bet big on our Easy picks!

Our MVP’s for the night- Ovechkin & Giannis!!!
