Drafting May 12's Best Sports Betting Card

Alright, so let's go ahead and keep this conversation going. Let's bring in a host of bet MGm tonight. Trista quick trista How you doing today? It's good to have you back. Oh I'm great. I'm great. How are you guys doing good? All right, so we want to play a little game with you. It's called on the clock. So here's how it works. You and Alex are up against each other using anything on tonight's card that you can bet on bet MGm and you'll each get three picks. But here's where the strategy kicks in. You each have a budget to spread across your pics of $100. And the goal is simple finished the night with more money than your opponent. So sound good to you. All sounds good to me. Okay, so we'll go in snake draft order. So Trista you're up first, you are now on the clock. Who's your first pick of the night? I am taking the Dallas Mavericks first quarter on the money line. I'm putting $50 on that first and foremost. Both those games that they played at home, they've won the first quarters by 12 and nine. It's an elimination game. Teams that get off to hot starts at home. We've seen that throughout the course of the playoffs so far. I think the mavs are gonna come out really desperate, especially since this is a close out game at home. The role players like Alex said just a few minutes ago, they show up more at home than they do on the road. No idea. Psychologically why that seems to happen. But yeah, I love this is my favorite bet of the night. Dallas first quarter moneyline. Love that, love that you get the crowd behind you kind of along those same lines. I'll give out my first play. Just talked about it. Um that Suns Mavs over to 11.5. Listen this Mavs team, they shoot a ton of threes, they're not gonna go eight for 32 again. We know what this Suns team is capable of. They're gonna want to close this thing out. The Mavs are desperate to to stay in this thing as as great as these defenses have been in the last couple of games. I think we're going to see a little bit of offense tonight and I think that we're getting a pretty good number here. It's a it's a relatively low total, right? That's a relatively low total to 11.5 to 2, 11. Does feel a little low for these two teams that love to shoot threes. They can get out fast pretty fast. Alright Alex your second pick of the night. All right, Danny Green over 2.5 3 is a plus 1 30. Love the value here. Right, I'm looking at game three Danny Green, seven for nine from three game for Danny Green, three for four from three has gone over this number and four of five home playoff games and I think we're getting a great number here at plus 1 30 role players love to show up Danny Green gonna show up for me tonight and knock down at least three threes at least three threes. Okay, we got your second pick next Danny Green by the way, at home has been excellent. So I like that pick a lot, my second pick for 30 bucks. I'm putting sixers first half minus 1.5. This is one of the same philosophies that I have about the mass, like as you said Alex, there's a possibility that Miami just might make philadelphia go home tonight, but I don't think that's gonna happen until maybe third or fourth quarter. I don't see the sixers at home and we know Philly's crowd, they get into it. Embiid plays better at home. James Harden plays better when he's not in Miami for obvious reasons. So that's like a real trend that you can handicap off of. So I think they're going to play the kind of urgency that Memphis played in this game, another close out scenario. I don't think Embiid wants to go with go into the offseason looking like trash with big questions about whether Doc Rivers is gonna stay, whether James Harden deserves an extension at least have that urgency in the first half, that is minus 1 10 value. Okay, trista your last pick of the night in our snake draft order. So I'm taking a baseball play here. Reds over eight runs. I am more of a narrative gambler than pretty much a trend one. But sometimes there's like trends that come down the pike, you just cannot ignore. We're talking about one of the worst teams in Major League baseball Cincinnati Reds, They've been winning, they've been winning some games recently. But the thing that continues to persist even when they win, They've gone over 14 of their last 15 games, they averaged going over in this stretch by 5.5 runs. So it's not even a sweat. So I would be remiss to not take this bet. I'm gonna put 20 on that and that's the end. So -110 for that value. And I like that. I like how we're breaking things down. We didn't plan this literally the exact same way my last $20. I'm going to the ice, I'm going to the ice. I'm looking at the hurricanes on the money line. I think this is a great value +105 here cain's coming off a big game five win, 5 to 1 against the Bruins can end this series tonight. A big reason why they were able to come out with that big win in game five was because of their success in the power play right to for five. Um, On the conversion rate on the power play and they were getting it done on the defensive end, 22 takeaways in that game. So I'm expecting this hurricanes team to come out and do a lot more of that. Um and close this thing out tonight against the Bruins team that they're gonna be desperate but I just don't think they have enough to uh to top this hurricanes team. I think I like the number plus 1052 trista by the way, I have to say Alex's payout looks like it'll be a bit higher with all three hits. So knowing this, is there anything that you would do a little bit differently? Well I didn't know that Alex was going to take proper place. So yes I would have done something different. I thought these were just straight bets, not props. So yeah I probably would have taken something uh in the middle bet with a little bit higher payout but he has to win them all in order for him to win. That's true, that's true. We have to put our money on that one too and we know we know Alex what Danny green can do. We definitely do. We definitely do. Alright Trista, thank you so much as always for joining us today.
