went 1-1 yesterday took these tonight miami -11 lal/gsw over 202 -2 units bos/tor over 190 blazers -4 - 2units pacers -2 glgl!
For the first few weeks of the season it's best to play second half. Teams come out flat and you can take advantage of favorable lines.
not gonna lie, i'm not even ready for nba betting season yet... still in ncaaf/nfl mode. please post these plays and i will gladly blind tail.
Yeah, I'm having to make the transition now. I've been killing NFL recently on teaser and 2nd half lines. picked up a little over $2500 Sunday: #220 - New England Patriots -7 (+102) 2nd Half Header: Miami Dolphins (3-3) @ New England Patriots (5-2) (CBS) Sport: NFL Label: Week 8 Ticket #: 79886358 Accepted: 10/27/13 1:23 PM (CST) Scheduled : 10/27/13 12:00 PM (CST) Risk/Win: $1,000.00/$1,020.00 Outcome: Win Final Score: New England Patriots 24-0 over Miami Dolphins $1,020.00 3 Team - Teaser - LT 6 - 4 Teaser #103 - Carolina Panthers -½ #211 - Dallas Cowboys +9 #220 - New England Patriots -½ Header: Miami Dolphins (3-3) @ New England Patriots (5-2) (CBS) Sport: NFL Label: Week 8 Scheduled : 10/27/13 12:00 PM (CST) Outcome: Win Final Score: New England Patriots 27-17 over Miami Dolphins $1,500.00 2 Total Wagers $2,520.00
I understand the Nuggets have some injuries, but Sportsbet in Australia are offering 2.25 for the win with no line, surely they win at home vs kings?
Kwame touched on it earlier in the thread but not only are the Nuggets banged up but Sac is a good home team. Not saying Denver can't win but it's pretty much the definition of a trap bet
Yup, and what about new system from Shaw that demands Lawson to pass more into post to McGee and Faried...per DenverPost, Shaw and Lawson had some disagreements over it and Shaw basically said between the lines that he is willing to sacrifice some wins in order to implement this new tactic. This means Denver is leaving his R&G out of its' arsenal, at least temporary. Which consequentally means Denver will be a worse team than last year for some time, and even more away where they don't have the altitude advantage.
Blazers is really a good bet @-5.5 for the following reasons: - Suns are without Gortat. They are in tank mode. - Blazers are underrated by last year's stats when they tanked for the last 10+ games of the season. Weakest bench in the league causing them overplaying starters early and by the end of season, they were all gassed. - They always got off to a great start. - Addition of Lopez is HUGE! I also like Buck +8
He's not playing to his personnel and that's never good. Especially considering Lawson is the heart and soul of that team. Not to mention neither McGee nor Faried has any semblance of a post game. Coaches get in their own way far too often. Exactly
After we see two or three games from Denver, we will know how much does this tactic "debilitate" the team. I hope bookmakers won't include this into their statistic, so we can hope for nice odds when Denver plays away against good non-playoff teams like New Orleans, Sacramento...
I have heat -1.5 and rockets -2.5 in a teaser tonight combined with UH -4.5 tom and texans +15.5 on sunday thoughts?
If it's a 10-point teaser, I would go with Bobcats. Bobcats are not really a bad team and they should easily cover +22.5. I watched the last two preseason games and impressed by the way they came back from being down and won both (vs Cavs and Knicks).
I have Rockets starting at -5 at bet365.com @1.29...is this a combo? One more thing I learned when casually betting - never do homer betting. So I probably won't do many HOU bets. I learned my lesson when betting on Slovenia at Eurobasket and soccer.
I'm ready. Did very well in NBA last year (+5K) but been killed in NFL this year. College Football is much better for football wagering.
What was your main criteria when betting on NBA? Team's form, injured players and streaks of course, but anything more than that? Following teams' fans' forums perhaps? Any advanced statistics? For example, Miami Heat probably won't lose twince in a row at all this season (or very rarely). So it makes sense to bet high stakes on them on a game after loss.
to be honest. I didn't make the transition from football wagering to bball wagering until late January (my mistake) and i didn't really make much ground until the last week of the season through the finals. My advice is....don't go to big until the playoffs. You know you will get a teams best effort on both sides of the ball come playoff time. and stay-away from double digit spreads. See clippers last night.
