Sports Betting Challenge: DimersBOT JACKPOT - Best Picks and Odds for Thursday May 6, 2021
Updated: | First published:
Written by Dimers Staff
We'll be honest with you. After two days of competition in the ultimate Man vs. Machine gambling challenge, our robot is getting its big metal ass kicked.
DimersBOT is in some serious trouble heading into the third and final day of the DimersBOT JACKPOT challenge, and he will need some serious luck to go his way if he's to pull this out of the fire.
Serious props need to go to our challenger, Will, who once again had a great night on Wednesday to get an almost unassailable lead.

Before today's picks, let's do a quick recap:
❓How does the DimersBOT JACKPOT work?
Each week a loyal Dimers Community member will take on our DImersBOT over three days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Both the Challenger and DimersBOT will make three picks per day across any pro league (NBA, MLB or NHL). DimersBOT will of course be making the picks from its own data projections, based upon 10,000 simulations of every game in the United States.
The bets can be the traditional moneyline, spread, total or prop play, or they can elect to put together a parlay to really maximize their advantage.
Each pick will have one unit assigned to the bet. Whoever has the most units at the end of the three days is declared the winner.
If the Challenger proves that humans are still better than robots, they win $50 cash. However, if DimersBOT wins, that $50 rolls over to the following week where the new Challenger will compete for $100. If DimersBOT keeps winning, that Jackpot keeps getting bigger!
It's not all bad for the losers, though. We'll still give anyone that competes a free Dimers t-shirt.
👨🦱 This Week's Challenger
Will Baer is this week's challenger, otherwise known as @nba.pick.em on Instagram. Will is a huge sports fan and roots for the Packers and Cardinals. The Virginian resident started betting in March, hitting big on some parlays early. He discovered Dimers from a recommendation of a friend and is now a valued member of our Discord group under the name BigZaddy.
💪 Day 3 Picks - The Challenger
BET 1: 🔥 Hornets +3 vs. Bulls (-110)
Challenger: Surprised the hornets are dogs here. I don't see how this could be with the Bulls being one of the worst teams in the league. Slamming this and ML. Best odds via William Hill Sportsbook.

BET 2: 🔥 Wizards at the moneyline vs. Raptors (+102) with William Hill Sportsbook
Challenger: Wizards are on a roll and barely lost a heartbreaker to the Bucks on Wednesday. I'm riding with them and I think they have the motivation to do well after last night.
