Tonny Ricci tops the leaderboard this week, and it’s about time. He’s been among the top five a few times, and this week he manages to beat out the crew of 100% win rate folks by making more profit with his wagers. 

We also have some newcomers to the leaderboard, including Oskeim Sports

Ricci made some smart totals picks, betting over on high-scoring matchups like the Magic and Celtics, and unders on teams with tough defense. All wagers were at -110, but that’s normal given the ranges he’s betting within. 

I’d watch Ricci’s totals picks as the post-season progresses. He’s shown considerable skill when it comes to predicting team totals. 

Where We’re Betting This Week

So far, the Cavaliers, Pacers, Thunder, and the Celtics have advanced to the Conference Semifinals. The Knicks, Nuggets, Warriors, and Timberwolves are 1 win away from breaking into the Semifinals as well, and the next bracket will be filled out by the end of this week.
