totally agree. there was one point late in the 4th where carmelo tried 1on1 middleton and lost the ball on 2 consecutive possessions and i was like wow this game is ugly..

NBA Thursday

2.5* Warriors -3 (-107/$1.93 Pinnacle)

1.5* Chicago @ OKC Over 191.5 (-108/$1.92 Pinnacle)

Totals have been doing much better recently after a very poor start to the season.

Will update my record soon. Think I'm still hovering around even for the season at this point.

No value in GSW -6.5 I suppose?

Hey Sando,

First of all, I have got to tell you that I have been following you for a while and learning things from you along with some profit. You got great knowledge and great analysis for your picks.

I am pretty new to Sports bets and I wanted to ask you a question regarding unit management. Would you give me any recommendation as I am still trying to find ways to make some $$$. I want to ask you and see if you can share your knowledge on the daily unit management like if I do certain big bets then there should be number of small ones as well.

Please shade light on this, your help is great appreciated.

If you're new to the game then best to keep things simple. I would recommend breaking your plays down into small (1x) medium (2x) and large (3x) so you have a unit range of 1-3 units.

In an ideal scenario you would want a 5K bank roll that you could then break down into 100 x $50 units. Of corse if you are just starting out then you're roll may not be so large, so would recommend the following.

If you have a $200 roll, then I would break it down into 10x $20 units and make 1 or 2 unit plays only.

If you have a $500 roll, then I would break it down into 25x $20 units and still stick to 1 or 2 unit plays.

If you have a 2K roll then I would recommend 50x $40 units and then using the 1-3 unit scale depending on the strength of you're plays.

*Per the "textbook" you are supposed to break your bankroll down into 100 units regardless of whether it is $100 or 20K.

As you can see I advocate aggressive play with a small bank roll in an attempt to build it into something larger, where you would then slow down and look to maintain your roll and grow it slowly. Of course with aggressive play comes the higher risk of busting out, then you would have to rebuy and start again.

This is not necessarily the best way, it is simply my way, some would disagree. Personally when I have had small roll's I have been willing to risk busting out in an attempt to grow them quickly into something more sustainable. Of course you don't want to push your luck too far - as soon as you build a small bankroll into an amount where you can break it down into 50 units at an individual unit amount that doesn't feel too small, then I would do that.

If you already have 5K+ to work with then just break it down into 100 units and grade you're plays from 1-3 units depending on (how you determine) the strength of them. As long as you can hit at 52% then you will never go broke with 100x units to work with. If you can hit at over 52% (-110/$1.90 lines) then you will actually make money.

Good luck.

The Spurs bench is very good. Patty Mills is a highly underrated back up PG, but regardless with all of the big 3 out, the Warriors should kill them by 10+ Yes I remember clearly that game last year when the Spurs went to Miami and coach Pop rested the big 3 and the 2nd unit beat the crap out of Miami. This is a totally different scenario. I would say there is still plenty of value at -6.5 and personally am expecting the Warriors to really put a beat down on the Spurs tonight.

**imarkp** · 12-19-13, 05:00 PM

when healthy I like gs. they really missed iggy. he does so many things to complement the rest of the team.

**Rsen** · 12-19-13, 05:17 PM

Thank You, Sando. You are great. Your willingness to help other is unmatched. Keep up the good work!!!

Also, I got this message when I was trying to award point for your reply : We could not award this user points. This person may not be allowed to receive points or you do not have enough points.

The Australian connection, I don't think many in the NBA know this kid, and yet he played very well for the Australian team in the Olympics.

Hopefully GS will play better, they've let me down recently not covering let alone winning SU @ home recently.

**davopnz** · 12-19-13, 06:22 PM

Bulls defense has been good after giving up 100 points the previous game, whats your reasoning there sando?

Sando gave you good advice, I would also be more aggressive with a small roll.

However, I suggest you bonus whore and bet the weekly specials. If you are underolled there's a huge amount of free EV in betting specials. That's by far the easiest way to make some money.

Shouldn't discuss twitter, or any other accounts here. Sonnybaby banned because of it...and his forum had over a million views.

**shevabets** · 12-22-13, 12:38 PM

I lose every time I tail Sando's basketball plays, and can't seem to miss on everything else (soccer, rugby etc)
Funny how this works, being this is a NBA forum!

It's not really an NBA forum. You just entered this thread through the NBA forum, but I'm pretty sure you can access this thread through a number of different channels, including the other sports forum, Tennis forum, etc.
