<p>We have a seven-game slate in the NBA scheduled for Saturday, January 21, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Magic vs. Wizards betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Orlando is going to play the second game of a back-to-back set when they visit Washington at Capital One Arena. The Wizards are N/A favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">BookMaker Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at N/A points. These divisional foes will face for the second time this season; the Wizards won 119-100 in Orlando.</p>



<p><strong>Magic were close to upsetting the Nuggets</strong></p>



<p>The Orlando Magic (16-28, 24-19-1 ATS) concluded their five-game road trip with a 119-116 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Magic were close to forcing overtime but Nikola Jokic’s buzzer-beating step-back three-pointer sealed a victory for the hosts. Orlando made 27 free throws opposite Denver’s ten, but the Nuggets made six more triples (13-7). The Magic will now play a game at home on Friday before they visit the Wizards on Saturday.</p>



<p>Markelle Fultz led the Magic in a loss to Denver with 20 points, a team-high seven rebounds, team-high six assists, and two steals. Franz Wagner had 19 points and five boards, Paolo Banchero added 18 points and four dishes, while Bol Bol finished with 17 points and six rebounds.</p>



<p>PF Jonathan Isaac (knee) and PF Chuma Okeke (knee) are out indefinitely. SG/SF Franz Wagner (ankle) is questionable to play on Saturday against Washington.</p>



<p><strong>Wizards surprised the Knicks in New York</strong></p>



<p>The Washington Wizards (19-26, 19-23-3 ATS) lost five of the last seven games but managed to avoid the third straight defeat with a 116-105 road victory over the New York Knicks. Although the Wizards weren’t great from the floor (44.2%), they kept the Knicks to 41.7% from the field and scored 16 triples opposite New York’s seven. Washington also dominated in assists (28-14) and blocks (9-4).</p>



<p>Kyle Kuzma led the Wizards with a double-double of 27 points and team-high 13 rebounds along with game-high seven assists. Kristaps Porzingis posted a double-double of 22 points and 11 boards with five dishes and two blocks, Bradley Beal chipped in 18 points, four rebounds, and four dimes, while Deni Avdija and Monte Morris combined for 27 points, 14 boards, and six assists.</p>

<p><strong>Orlando Magic vs. Washington Wizards Pick</strong></p>



<p>Washington has Bradley Beal back in the starting lineup after he missed five games, four of which were losses. Beal’s availability is a huge boost for the Wizards, who are just 25th in the NBA when it comes to the offense with 119.6 points per game. Luckily for them, the Magic are even worse as they average 110.5 ppg, while Washington also has a slightly stronger defense, so I am backing the hosts to get a win on Saturday. Kuzma, Porzingis, and Beal will be too much for the visitors to handle and I am backing this trio to combine for 60+ points here.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Wizards at N/A</p>



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



<p>Orlando is playing the second of a back-to-back and I think the Magic’s defense is going to be sliced open by Washington’s offense. The Wizards already scored 119 points against Orlando less than a month ago, but this time around, I am backing Washington to score 120+, something the Wizards haven’t done in 2023. Even though both teams are not even in the top 20 when it comes to offensive rating, the Wizards are much better offensively with Beal in the lineup. Orlando will definitely contribute enough to help us win the Over bet.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over N/A points</p>

The National Football League (NFL) is easily the most popular sport in the United States, especially when it comes to betting. NFL betting puts up the biggest numbers every single year, and bettors are always looking for new betting options.

The NFL was founded all the way back in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, and that is where the Hall of Fame is located to this day. There were only a handful of teams in the league when it first started, but it didn’t take long for the league to grow.

There are now 32 teams in the NFL, and the league is broken up into two conferences and eight total divisions. Since the league just continues to be more and more popular, the league has added an extra regular season game for each team to play in.

NFL teams now play 17 total regular season games, and then the top seven teams in each conference advance to the postseason. The NFL regular season begins in September, and the Super Bowl is now played during the month of February.

When it comes to the NFL, the Super Bowl is the event that draws the most betting attention. This league isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s actually started to become more of an international competition.

This article will not only cover the best NFL betting sites &amp; sportsbooks, but will also provide some tips on how to bet on the NFL.
<h3>Where to bet on NFL</h3>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<p>The Western Conference Finals head to game six when the Vegas Golden Knights visit the Dallas Stars Monday night. Dallas has won two games in a row to make this series interesting again. Below is my NHL pick for the Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-vegas-golden-knights-vs-dallas-stars-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Vegas Golden Knights +106</p>



<p>This game will be played at American Airlines Center at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, May 29, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-vegas-golden-knights"><a></a>Why Bet the Vegas Golden Knights:</h2>



<p>✅ Vegas has won five of their last seven games played, though those two losses have been the past two games.</p>



<p>✅ The Golden Knights were able to steal one in Dallas and they will feel confident in doing it again.</p>



<p>✅ Dallas has played tough, long, series all playoffs and their legs are going to give at some point.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-vegas-golden-knights-feeling-nervous"><a></a>Vegas Golden Knights Feeling Nervous</h2>



<p>Vegas jumped out to a 3-0 series lead and were in overtime in game four looking to end it, but the Stars have now grabbed two games in a row to make this an actual series. The Golden Knights would have felt confident to close the series out at home, in game five, but that was not the case and back to Dallas we head.</p>



<p>Game five got started with a Vegas lead after scoring 13:36 into the period. Dallas quickly answered back with a goal of their own and this game was tied at one after one. The action got started quicker in the second period as the Golden Knights again grabbed the lead, 3:20 into the period, before the Stars answered back 2:10 later. It remained tied at two until midway through the third period when Ty Dellandrea scored two goals in 1:27 to give Dallas a 4-2 lead. The game would end with Dallas winning 4-2 and now trailing 3-2 in the series.</p>



<p>Ivan Barbashev and Chandler Stephenson both scored in the defeat. Three different Golden Knights recorded at least one assist on the night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-dallas-stars-are-playing-with-confidence">The Dallas Stars Are Playing with Confidence</h2>



<p>Dallas is going to be flying around the ice in game six as they will be buzzing in what may be their final home game of the season. The Stars came back from a one goal deficit two times in their game five win and are now just two wins away from coming back from 3-0.</p>



<p>In the game five win, Ty Dellandrea, two goals, was joined on the scoresheet by Luke Glendening and Jason Robertson. Five different Stars recorded at least one assist on the night.</p>

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Game 6 Betting Pick &amp; Prediction

<img class="alignleft wp-image-599035" src="http://bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/parlay-icon.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" />For gamblers, lottery tickets are a great paradox. We know that the odds are long, but we also know, usually from past experience, that long odds sometimes lead to be a big payoff.

That internal trigger that comes along with the anticipation and the unknown can certainly be addictive.

Instead of scratch-offs and glass domes full of numbered balls, why not put together some lottery tickets that you actually have some control over?

Parlays don’t have the same long odds as the lotto, but they are opportunities to put a little bit of gamble in your jangle and get some nice payouts.

When it comes to <a href="/mlb-betting-guide/">betting Major League Baseball</a>, they can be a good way for punters with a smaller bankroll to be involved on some of those big favorites.

Certainly, you can bet underdog parlays and take your shot on two teams pulling off upsets, but a lot of times, <strong>parlays are a more palatable way to bet on heavy favorites that would cost a lot to be on individually.</strong>
<h2>Baseball Parlay Strategy</h2>
Let’s say that you really like the Indians over the Royals, but that -200 price tag is a lot. After all, it would take a $200 bet to win $100. To compound your hesitation, you’re also liking the Red Sox at -225 against the Blue Jays.

You don’t have it in your bankroll to put $425 at risk to win $200. So, what do you do?

You parlay those two favorites.
<div class="blue-box">

Instead of betting $425 to win $200, you can bet $100 to win $116.

Both teams need to win for you to cash your ticket, but <strong>both teams have a good chance at winning</strong>.
<ul>
 	<li>A -200 favorite had an implied probability of winning 66.67 percent of the time.</li>
 	<li>A -225 favorite has an implied probability of winning 69.23 percent of the time.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2>Why Aren’t Parlays More Popular?</h2>
Because parlays can be hard to win.
<ul>
 	<li>You have two independent events <strong>with an expected win rate of 66.67 percent and 69.23 percent</strong>.</li>
 	<li>The odds of <strong>BOTH events happening is 46.16 percent</strong>.</li>
 	<li>You’re taking two bets with a likelihood of 66.67 percent and 69.23 percent and turning them into<strong> a ticket that loses more often than it will win</strong>!</li>
</ul>
That doesn’t mean that MLB parlays don’t have a place in your handicapping repertoire. It just means that you have to understand the consequences of playing them as a tandem as opposed to playing them straight.

For those that do have smaller bankrolls, though, these can be a good way of getting involved and playing your edges without risking a large percentage of the funds that you have available.
<h2>Final thoughts on betting MLB parlays</h2>
This is the most likely application of parlays when it comes to baseball.

You can bet the more traditional parlays like putting together sides and totals in hopes of hitting them all and getting that big payout, but parlays, as a general rule, are not <a href="https://help.smarkets.com/hc/en-gb/articles/214554985-How-to-calculate-expected-value-in-betting">positive expected value</a> (+EV) bets.

As long as you keep the right frame of mind with parlays and use them in a way that makes sense for your bankroll, <strong>parlays are a good tool to deploy every now and then</strong>. Don’t fall in love with them or the big payout possibilities because they <strong>truly are hard to hit when you start getting past two or three games</strong>.

Money line parlays on large favorites do have a place, though, especially for those that are trying to get a bankroll established.

MLB Parlay Betting Tips

<p>Week 4 of the 2021 NFL season continues Sunday, October 3, 2021, when we’ll see the NFC showdown at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, so here’s the best Panthers vs. Cowboys betting pick along with the latest team news, stats, and betting trends.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Carolina meets Dallas for the first time since 2018, and the Panthers have gone 2-0 straight up and ATS over their previous two dates with the Cowboys. The visitors are listed as 4.5-point road underdogs for this one, while the totals are set at 50.5 points on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>Can the Panthers overcome CMC’s absence?</strong></h2>



<p>The Carolina Panthers improved to 3-0 SU and ATS on the season following a 24-9 road victory over the Houston Texans in Week 3. However, Christian McCaffrey suffered a hamstring injury and will be sidelined for a few weeks which is a massive blow for the Panthers’ offense that is averaging 23.0 points on 390.3 total yards per game.</p>



<p>CMC has had 68 touches for 364 yards from scrimmage through the first three weeks of the new season. Last year, he appeared in just three games because of multiple injuries, and the Panthers have struggled offensively for most of the 2020 season.</p>



<p>Anyway, the Panthers will continue to lean on their defense. They are yielding only 10.0 points on 191.0 total yards per contest so far this term. Furthermore, the Panthers have recorded 14 sacks while allowing their opponents to convert only 21.2 percent of their 3<sup>rd</sup> downs.</p>



<h2><strong>Will the Cowboys continue to run efficiently?&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Dallas Cowboys (2-1; 3-0 ATS) decided to run the ball as much as they can in 2021. It’s paying off early in the season, as the Cowboys have won two straight contests following a tough 31-29 defeat at the reigning champs, Tampa Bay, in the opener.</p>



<p>Dallas racked up 198 rushing yards in a 20-17 road win at the LA Chargers in Week 2. Last Monday, the Cowboys destroyed Philadelphia at home, 41-21, rushing for 160 yards on 41 attempts. Ezekiel Elliott had 17 totes for 95 yards and a couple of scores against the Eagles, while Tony Pollard added 11 carries for 60 yards. Back in Week 2, Pollard had 13 carries for 109 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>The Cowboys are tallying 30.0 points on 416.7 total yards per game. They are yielding 23.0 points on 402.0 total yards in a return, but the Cowboys have already recorded six interceptions, showing signs of improvement compared to a woeful 2020 campaign. Still, Dallas is surrendering a whopping 331.7 passing yards per contest.</p>



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



<p><strong>Carolina:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Dallas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-carolina-panthers-vs-dallas-cowboys-pick"><strong>Carolina Panthers vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Something’s got to give here, as both teams are perfect against the spread in 2021. I’m going with the Cowboys to win by at least a field goal, as their offense should be a decisive factor. The Panthers’ defensive unit has been outstanding through the first three weeks, but this will be the first proper test on the road.</p>



<p>CMC’s absence will be too much, and the visitors will have to lean on Sam Darnold a lot. He’s been solid thus far, throwing for 888 yards, three scores, and a pick, but without McCaffrey in the backfield, the Panthers might struggle to move the ball. Dallas’ secondary is arguably fragile, but if the Cowboys continue with their balanced attacking approach, they’ll come out on top.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Dallas Cowboys -2.5 at -175&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The total has gone over in nine of Dallas’ last 11 outings at home, including the previous four. On the flip side, the under has hit in Carolina’s last six games overall. I’ll take the under, expecting the Panthers to lean heavily on their defense, while their offense won’t be as sharp as usual without Christian McCaffrey.</p>



<p>Anyway, we should also see both teams trying to exploit each other’s secondary. The line at 50.5 points is a tricky one, and I would stick with the Cowboys to cover.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 50.5 points at -110</strong></p>
