over 162.5 in the second game.

Also took live over 152.5 in the blaze game.

Little bit premature on that second game. Maybe a little reverse jinx worked in my favour. Either way it took plenty of garbage time points to cash the over.

2 - 2 on the night

Season Record: 13 - 8 - 1 +5u and change.

Wildcats 1q -2.5

total u162.5

Still feels like a winning night because I was going to unload on the Breakers but laid off.

Breaaaaaaaakers opening home game tonight, wish I wasn't working.

Honestly think they get back on track and score close to 100 tonight.

Will post some plays soon.

Breakers first home game.

Should be plenty of points tonight.

hawley · 10-28-11, 01:59 AM

first quarter burial again.

Kings have managed 8 points.

NBL should have a new tagline:
"hard to watch hard to bet"

1/16 from deep

The pace is not bad but its painful how many points have been left out there.

this is a frustrating loss giving back my early profits. Again I am left wondering why I am left gambling on such an amateur league.

Exactly what i was thinking. Why do i get sucked in by this D-League?

hawley · 10-28-11, 03:00 AM

sorry guys I am done for a while, not just with the loss but this league is a fukn circus

How many fukn fouls have been missed.

this league is not worth betting on at the moment.

1 -1 on the night but down big. Teams shot 10/49 from deep. I expected a blow out but more of a 100 - 80 scoreline.

Season record: 15 - 10 - 1 +0.6u

Is it me or is the NBL getting worse each week

Big shift in the ML for the Crocs Blaze game.

Crocs went from dogs to favs in about a 20 cent shift.

Not sure if I will play it.

MatI · 10-29-11, 03:15 AM

which book?

Sorry that happened at Pinnacle. The jump has jumped around a bit since but the Crocs are still slight favs.

I want to take the over but I said last night I would lay off totals in the NBL for a while since they are so unpredictable. You playing this game?

MatI · 10-29-11, 03:55 AM

no, im sticking with last nights thought. This is D-League stuff. Im laying off.

hawley · 10-29-11, 03:58 AM

D-league may be a compliment to a lot of players in this league.

Pledger, the Breakers 7ft centre had a fast break last night, with no pressure had his dunk rejected by the rim

MatI · 10-29-11, 04:03 AM

makes me glad i cant watch this **** live!

dRavidC · 10-29-11, 05:36 AM

here's a possible betting approach to take for any nbl hopefulls lol:

I noticed that most of the preview predictions/picks on the nbl homepage are wrong. So maybe read the preview and make the opposite play to what they made?

I only bet what I watch so as much as I want to, just can't stand watching nbl - makes me miss nba even more - regardless of what a big joke it is nowadays.

hawley · 10-29-11, 05:56 AM

i cant help myself

betting on this league is a losing proposition though. Basketball is one of my favourite sports though so I am just trying to get a fix while the NBA sort their shit out

dRavidC · 10-29-11, 05:59 AM

how about tennis - even that is more bettable than this

I bet tennis a wee bit, dont really post in the tennis forum though.

honestly struggle to track players all year round so a lot of tournys I would be almost betting blind in regards to current form.

I was hanging out for the NBA though, probably my most profitable sport.

hawley · 10-29-11, 06:05 AM

didnt end up betting the Blaze game but just having a look at the stats

GC - 2/14 from deep
Crocs - 5/15

I have noticed this across the league, the 3pt shooting has been horrendous this season

dRavidC · 10-29-11, 06:09 AM

the 3pt point shot isn't the only thing that has been horrendous this season

hence why there are no "LIVE" televised games - all delayed

hawley · 10-29-11, 06:10 AM

i think I may stop betting this league altogether

no edge gambling on this garbage

gotta bet this shit

MrXYZ · 10-29-11, 06:21 AM

The NBL is a joke but I love basketball & can't help myself either. Keeping my unit sizes small because I'd rather throw the serious bucks at the NBA when it kicks off. Most of these teams are terrible & had Bogut been able to play, the Kings would've pretty much gone undefeated.

I'd rather follow the local women's league, the WNBL. The books don't offer it though.
