New Orleans Pelicans at Miami Heat: our pick

We called the Miami Heat at 71%, locked Oct 8, 5:40 PM ET, 1 hour before kickoff.

Final: New Orleans Pelicans 118–128 Miami Heat. Right.

Why this pick?

Our 71% is the betting market's own price for the Miami Heat: the DraftKings line, with its margin taken out. It is not a secret model.

The closing line is recorded just before the start; the move since the call shows up then.

We have no graded calls on the Miami Heat yet.

At 71%, a pick like this still loses about 29 times in 100.

What we add is timing: we watch this game live and email members when the pick pulls well ahead, so they can check the cash-out at their own sportsbook.
