If I was going to bet OKC I'd throw a block of 3 bets connecting to these winning margin scores
Very interesting board. Took me a few seconds to understand it, but then realizing you'd have to get the "final" score exactly in those specific parameters. If it goes over or under, ya lose.
The 21+ looking good right now, OKC up by 33, still some game left to play, midway thru the third quarter.
That 17-20 at +750 sure looks juicy if OKC lets up a bit, and the Suns can make enough cheap buckets late in the game.
I had an opportunity to cash out my NBA parlay at $163 early in the Lakers game. I thought about it all the way down to $100, and then still even as it dropped past $75. I stood pat and rode it all the way down to zero. I was credited a $100 no sweat bet for my loss, so I'll see what I can manufacture out of that.

Those cash outs are a good option but it's literally a gamble in of itself
I've missed out on some pretty good cash outs in hopes for my bet to come through and it didn't, but what's worse is when you cash out early then your original bet hits and you lost out on a bigger profit.
Been there done that on both but it's still a good option
With Polymarket now technically as a competitor, I would expect to see the bookies increase their various comps, rewards, bonuses, etc.
Also I did read a while back that DraftKings was going to get involved in the "prediction" market, to directly compete with Polymarket. How that will affect DK's website platform, I have no idea? Will they offer two sets of bets for one wagering option? IE say on a touchdown prop, will they offer the usual bookie odds and possibly "prediction" odds as well? We shall see.

The thing about Draft Kings is they own the state of NH, the entire state is stuck with them, I don't know about other states but ones that own the rights to it probably don't have to do much to compete

But with Polymarket, it's an entirely new situation, versus bookies competing against other bookies. My guess is that DK will begin offering their goodies in all their various states. Regardless if they "own" a particular state or not. Me being a long time businessman, this would seem to be the logical conclusion.
Of course "logic" doesn't always apply in some situations. Take Sears for example. They were dominant in their industry. Then the internet came along, and I guess the naive board of directors figured the internet wouldn't affect them? Well Sears stock price tumbled and is now close to worthless. Last time I checked a few years ago, they only had 6 stores remaining nationwide.
I just can't envision an aggressive company like DK making a similar mistake, and ignoring Polymarket, even in a situation such as NH. In my opinion, I think you'll begin to see an increase in the quantity and amount of those bonuses.
Of course what you could do is open up an account with Polymarket, and check out the differences. Your action is pretty good throughout the year. Plus you have extensive knowledge of certain sports and teams. Grabbing an extra few percent or more on some bets has to help. And of course getting an extra point or two on a game could mean the difference between a bad beat or a nice score.
Keep in mind though, I'm not sure if Polymarket offers bonusses or not? Perhaps the odds on a specific bet might be better on Polymarket, but then ya gotta factor in that a Polymarket bet of course isn't going to help gain bonuses on DK. To do it right, might seem a bit complex at times.
Sure the recreational bettor wagering a few dollars, just fooling around, figuring they're gonna probably lose no matter what they do, isn't going to care much about all this. However anyone serious about possibly making money at sports betting, in order to extract maximum value, making the right choices could result in huge monetary differences over time, even on one large bet.
guys there is a compelling contest taking place in a couple of days. OKC plays San Antonio in the NBA cup semis. nothing needs to be said about the Thunder -- someone without a pulse knows how good they are. but the Spurs are a stellar team in their own right. last night i watched them dismantle Luka, LeBron and the Lakers...........and that was without Wemby, who has been sidelined with an injury for the past couple of weeks. rumor has it he may play on Saturday. i'll definitely be glued either way. if he walks onto the court, it could potentially be loss #2 for OKC. potentially. POTENTIALLY. potentially. pOtEnTiAlLy. the line hasn't come out at my book, but i googled and it currently sits at -10.5. i would get me some of that. if Wemby plays it will shrink, and i'd still get me some of that. i may even toss some on the Spurs ML (all depends on how much i drink). the Thunder just......can't......keep.....winning.....every......single......game.....and......blowing.....out......the......opposition......in......the......process.
can they?
if the Spurs lose by 25 i'm going to rent a uhaul, move to the stamps forum and talk to myself

i think a player will turn the ball over 3 times on the same play before the Thunder will lose again

This appears to be a pretty sweet offer. $500 in bonus bets for $500 in cash action, independent of whether you win or lose the cash bets.
