Utah Valley Wolverines vs North Dakota Fighting Hawks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/14/24

Bookmakers and oddsmakers are in the gambling business as a business and they need to make money. The -110 figure that they establish for many bets is the amount that a bettor needs to bet in order for them to win $100. This extra $10 is called the juice that the bookmaker needs in order to remain in business.

<strong>As Far As The Bettor Is Concerned</strong>

Just like with anything, consumers need to find the best prices they possibly can before they spend their money. The same thing goes for laying down a bet. Different oddsmakers and bookmakers will set reduced juice for bettors in order to attract new bettors or increase the action on a particular game. These reduced lines are commonly known as “reduced juice” or “nickel lines.”

Bettors need to shop around for the best they can find so that they need to put up the least amount of money possible to place their bets. The bettor needs to put themselves in a position to make the most they can off the least amount of money possible.

The ultimate objective for any bettor is to minimize their losses and maximize their wins, obviously right? There are going to be times when a bettor will spend a little more on a bet because they are confident in the team. This bet could be upwards of -120 or even -130. If a bettor is going to do this, they need to make sure that they are extremely confident in the bet that they are making.

<strong>As Far As The Sportsbook Is Concerned</strong>

No business is going to last long if they are not making money. This is why bettors have to spend $110 to win $100. The sportsbook needs to be able to make money for being available to bettors to broker the bets. This seems like a small commission, but sportsbooks make a majority of their money on losses.

Between a cashed out winning bet and a losing bet, the bookmakers will come out up $10. This is not a lot of money, which is why a bookmaker banks on the fact that there are going to be a large number of bettors who are going to lose. Also, what most bettors don’t take into account is the number of bets that a bookmaker takes throughout the scope of a single game. The more bets they take, the more money they make.

Seattle Redhawks vs Cal Poly Mustangs NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/14/24

<p>Game two of the Western Conference Second Round series is set for Thursday night when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Golden State Warriors. It was an exciting game one and this series could produce some classic games. Below is my NBA pick for the Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-los-angeles-lakers-vs-golden-state-warriors-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Los Angeles Lakers +5.0</p>



<p>This game will be played at Chase Center at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 4, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-golden-state-warriors"><a></a>Why Bet the Golden State Warriors:</h2>



<p>✅ Los Angeles has covered the spread in four of their last five games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Lakers are hot and have won eight of their last 10 games overall.</p>



<p>✅ Golden State has covered the spread in just one of their last five games against the Lakers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-los-angeles-lakers-grabbed-home-court-advantage"><a></a>Los Angeles Lakers Grabbed Home Court Advantage</h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Lakers had two extra days of rest and that seemed to play a factor in their game one win. Golden State came out of the gates well, but as they game got later the Lakers took control and they won 117-112. </p>



<p>The Warriors led by two after the first quarter, but the Lakers turned it around and led by one at the half. Los Angeles extended their lead to eight heading into the third quarter and were able to hold on for the game one win. A solid win for a team that went just 20-21 away from home during the regular season.</p>



<p>Anthony Davis went off in game one with 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks. LeBron James added 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks in the impressive game one win.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-golden-state-warriors-need-to-rebound">The Golden State Warriors Need to Rebound</h2>



<p>Golden State will be disappointed with the loss, but it was a quick turnaround from their intense game seven win on Sunday. The Warriors started and ended the game strong, but the middle two quarters cost the game one win. This should be a long series and Golden State won’t be stressing about losing one game.</p>



<p>Kevon Looney is turning into a beast of the boards as he had 23 rebounds to go with 10 points and five assists, in game one. Steph Curry added 27 points, six rebounds, and three assists in the defeat.</p>

<p>The Los Angeles Angels and Cleveland Indians lock horns Sunday night in the 2021 MLB Little League Classic at BB&amp;T Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The first pitch is set at 7:00 PM ET, so let’s see what’s the best Angels vs. Indians betting pick, as these two American League foes close down their six-game regular-season series.</p>



<p>Excluding Saturday’s clash at Progressive Field in Cleveland, the Indians have won three of their four encounters with the Halos. Cleveland beat Los Angeles in a three-game set in Anaheim back in May, 2-1, and the Tribe opened as a slight -135 fave for Sunday’s clash at the neutral site. The Angels are +125 moneyline dogs with a total of 9.0 runs on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Halos returned to the losing ways</strong></h2>



<p>After sweeping a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers on the road, the Los Angeles Angels improved to 62-61 on the season, but they suffered a heavy 9-1 defeat at the Cleveland Indians last Friday to get back on .500. The Halos have dropped ten of their 20 contests played in August, so their playoff hopes are arguably dead at this point of the season.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Angels/status/1428832050518188033
</div></figure>



<p>Jose Suarez will toe the rubber Sunday in Williamsport, and the 23-year-old lefty is 5-6 with a 3.88 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in seven starts and nine relief appearances this term. Suarez joined the Angels rotation in July but hasn’t impressed since then, posting a pedestrian 5.45 ERA and a 29/14 K/BB ratio across 33 innings of work.</p>



<p>The Halos carry a 4.50 ERA and a .255 batting average against in August. On the other side of the ball, they’ve scored just 77 runs over the last 20 outings while posting the fourth-worst OPS in the majors in that stretch (.648).</p>



<h2><strong>The Indians are looking to the future</strong></h2>



<p>The Cleveland Indians were 59-61 following that 9-1 thrashing of the Angels on Friday. Their season is already ruined, as the Indians have won consecutive games only twice since the All-Star break. Cleveland has dropped 11 of its first 19 contests in August, scoring 88 runs in the process on a .250/.316/.413 batting line.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Indians/status/1428902055536697354
</div></figure>



<p>Cal Quantrill will take the mound for the Indians in the 2021 MLB Little League Classic, and he’s 3-2 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 15 starts and 18 relief appearances in 2021 (102.2 innings pitched). The 26-year-old righty met the Angels in May and yielded one earned run in one inning of work in relief.</p>



<p>Quantrill has done a superb job over the last few weeks. In his previous seven starts, the right-hander has registered a sparkly 1.76 ERA and a .205 batting average against. Still, Quantrill has surrendered three earned runs on eight hits across five innings of work last time out, taking a no-decision in a 5-4 defeat at Minnesota.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>LA Angels:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 in Jose Suarez’s last five starts</li></ul>



<p><strong>Cleveland:</strong></p>



<ul><li>11-1 in the last 12 games against the Angels</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-angels-vs-cleveland-indians-pick"><strong>Los Angeles Angels vs. Cleveland Indians Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Frankly, this game could easily go either way. The teams meet at the neutral site, and neither side has impressed lately, so I’ll lean on H2H betting trends and take the Indians to win. Cleveland has won 11 of its last 12 encounters with the Angels, and the Tribe destroyed the Halos last Friday.</p>



<p>Also, the Angels are struggling at the plate. In the last couple of weeks, they’ve recorded a poor .227/.303/.346 batting line. On the other side, the Indians have posted a .249/.327/.434 triple-slash in that span.</p>



<p></p>





<p></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>Although the Angels have some serious offensive issues, and the Indians are not at their best, I’m going with the over on the totals, as both teams are struggling on the mound at the moment.</p>



<p>The Indians bullpen has registered a disappointing 5.82 ERA and 5.94 FIP in the last ten days of action. On the other side, the Angels’ relievers have posted a 4.31 ERA and 4.15 FIP while allowing 1.31 home runs per nine innings.</p>

Bryant Bulldogs vs Buffalo Bulls NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/14/24

<p>The Nitto ATP Finals began on November 12, bringing together the top eight players this season to compete for the season title on indoor hard courts in Turin, Italy. The round robin tournament concludes this weekend with the top four players competing in the semifinals and the winners of those matches meeting in the finals on Sunday.</p>



<p>Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Holger Rune, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, and Daniil Medvedev all qualified for this year's Nitto ATP Finals. Rune, Sinner, and Alcaraz were playing in the tournament for the first time as direct qualifiers, while Djokovic, Zverev, Tsitsipas, and Medvedev are all past champions.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/betdsi/">BetDSI Exclusive 125% Bonus -- CLICK HERE</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-who-has-advanced">Who Has Advanced?</h2>



<p>As of Friday, two of the four semifinal spots were secured, although the semifinal matches won't be decided until the conclusion of the last two round robin matches. Sinner and Djokovic qualified in the Green Group. Tsitsipas was forced to withdraw from the tournament in his second match and was replaced by Hubert Hurkacz, while Rune came up just short in his attempt to reach the semi-final. He needed a win against Sinner on Thursday, but the Italian won 6-2, 5-7, 6-4.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-still-in-contention">Still in Contention</h2>



<p>The Red Group, meanwhile, is still wide open with two round robin games remaining Friday. Rublev is out of contention after losing each of his first two matches, but any two of Alcaraz, Medvedev, and Zverev can qualify for the semi-finals depending on what happens Friday.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Alcaraz and Medvedev were slated to play early Friday morning. The winner of that match would automatically earn entry into the semi-finals, although the loser could still qualify if Rublev defeats Zverev later in the day. The only way Zverev qualifies is if he defeats Rublev and Medvedev beats Alcaraz.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-round-robin-results">Round Robin Results</h2>



<p>Sinner finished the round robin with a perfect 3-0 record to win the Green Group, while Djokovic, who will finish the year as the No. 1 ranked player on the ATP Tour for the eighth time in his career, just snuck in with a 2-1 record with each of his games going three sets.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In the Red Group, Zverev opened the tournament with an upset victory 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-4 over Alcaraz, but lost in straight sets to Medvedev in his second match. Medvedev is 2-0, with wins over Zverev and Rublev. Alcaraz beat Rublev 7-5, 6-2 in his second match.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-semifinal-scenarios-and-h2h-results">Semifinal Scenarios and H2H Results</h2>



<p>Medvedev can still win his group even with a loss, so let's assume for now that he takes the top seed and Alcaraz finishes second. If that were the case, Medvedev would play Djokovic, who he has a 5-10 career record against. Alcaraz or Zverev, in second place, would play Sinner. Surprisingly, Sinner is 4-3 against Alcaraz but just 1-4 against Zverev.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The favorite, obviously, would be Djokovic, considering he has a winning record against each of the other possible opponents. However, Sinner is playing the best tennis of his career right now, recently winning the Vienna Open in late October, where he beat Medvedev in the final.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-finals-prediction">Finals Prediction</h2>



<p>With Sinner and Djokovic already through and players in the other group having to play another gruelling match on Friday, there's good value in betting on a Sinner-Djokovic final. Djokovic is 3-1 against Sinner and you can bet he's poised and motivated to get his win back after losing to Sinner in the round robin.</p>



<p><strong>Finals Pick:</strong> Djokovic def. Sinner</p>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NCAA Tournament Betting - It's play-in time between Texas Southern and Mount St. Mary's</strong></span>

Seriously, what does it mean to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) title? How about the Northeast Conference? We're not sure we're going to find those answers out on Thursday night, but we'll know a lot more after the winner of this "First Four" game enters the 64-team NCAA Tournament field.

The site is Assembly Hall in Bloomington, IN as the Texas Southern Tigers take on the Mount St.Mary's Mountaineers. Game time is 5:10 PM ET on Tru TV, and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers will have the opportunity to place wagers in real-time while they're watching, using the facilities of Sports Betting Prime.

</strong></span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TEXAS SOUTHERN TIGERS vs. MOUNT ST. MARY'S MOUNTAINEERS, 5:10 PM ET (Tru TV)</strong></span>

<strong>NCAA Basketball Odds: Mount St.Mary's -1.5 / Total 132</strong>

Both of these teams are prone to turning the ball over, with Texas Southern one of the worst in the nation in that respect. Thankfully, neither team employs much in the way of forcing the other team to commit miscues, so maybe that's a standoff?

Another thing TSU is known for is its ineptitude at the three-point circle. With only 27.7% accuracy, they are well-advised not to take too many chances from long range.

Johnny Jones has coached two other teams to the Big Dance - North Texas and LSU. His team's plan is to work within short range and get to the line if at all possible. They are successful pulling down almost a third of their misses, and they are not bad at the charity stripe (just below 71%).

Mount St. Mary's was largely non-competitive when stepping up in class, as was Texas Southern. But neither of them is stepping up too far in class here.

MSM will lull its opponents to sleep holding the ball on offense, taking up about 20 seconds on the shot clock per possession. They've got one of the more remarkable players in this tournament.Damian Chong Qui, a 5-8, 155-pound guard, carries averages of 15.1 points and 5.5 assists, but also 4.2 rebounds, and during one four-game string he hauled in 28 boards.

Texas Southern may turn to its own leader in the backcourt, Michael Weathers, to counter him. Weathers, who has also attended Oklahoma State and Miami of Ohio, where he was a starter, is probably the most experienced player they have, but he has made just one of his last 28 attempts from downtown.

MSM has a key player here in Nana Opaku, who blocked five shots in the NEC title game against Bryant. If TSU wants to do any business in the lane, they will have to get around him.

And if you want to talk about key factors, consider that Mount St. Mary's is able to defend without fouling - the number of free throws their foes have taken is less than a quarter that of the number of field goal attempts. That's a very low percentage, and so it would appear they may be able to neutralize what Texas Southern's game plan might be.

We like Mount St. Mary's to advance to the West region and face Michigan.
