    Beginners Luck!!!
    Hi All I am just a beginner in NBA Betting only started about 10days ago but I know all the rules was kind of into it about 10 years ago while was in highschool & Uni. However I don't know all the new players except for the Stars.

    Having said that I still would like to try and see how far I go with just smallish betting and post my bets up here and hopefully any of you guys with far more experience can help me and give me constructive feedbacks.


    Here we go:


    Today I think there are 3 good plays -

    Raptors +10 (should be close game with Nuggets slightly on top)

    Magic +9.5 (is GSW that's good? Magic played pretty well with the Lakers yesterday)

    Cats/Blazers Over 191.5 (have the total around 197 should be a good bet with poor defence on both teams)


    Also for longish shots like just 1 unit or something


    Bucks M/L

    Bucks/Hornets Over 188.5

    Magic/GSW Under 195.5

    Clipper/Utah Over 196.5


    Good luck all!!

    Good Luck!

    I know sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good. However when it comes to capping, you have to be good in the long run.

        Well there are definitely two interesting matchups fortomorrow - Heats VS Wizards and Suns VS Memphis or should we say good and the bad or the worst.

        HEAT VS WIZARD
        The Heat's are 4th in Assist where as Wizards ranked 26th Ican only make out that Heats are better team players then the Wizards andreally the quality of these two teams are so different, I would take Heats -11anytime of the day, the handicap should be around -25!

        Play of the Day

        Heats -11 (should be -25)

        Total Under 196 (Wizards shouldn'tbe able to score much this game 70ish tops)


        THUNDER VS NETS
        Interesting matchup, Thunders on top but only slightly sothe Handicappers got it pretty right on this one so not going to touch thematch, if anything will have to go with Nets at home with good defence but tobe safe probably would only take +6.5 or 7.5 go the underdogs.

        Nets 6.5 or 7.5+


        PACERS VS BULLS
        Again got Bulls on top but only ever so slightly so theHandicappers got it spot on pretty much, so not going to touch the -4 line ifyou twist my arm maybe BULLS M/L as Bulls are a much better team players thanthe Pacers with 4th in Assist and Pacers ranked 27th and I don't see how thetotal score can get out of hand with both teams are low scoring - gooddefensive teams.

        Plays if any
        Bulls m/l
        Total Under 180


        SUNS VS MEMPHIS
        The Best Defence team VS Worst Defence team WOW what's amatchup, Memphis should have this one in the bag shouldn't have much problemscoring while the Suns struggles.

        Play of the Day 2

        Memphis -10.5
        Total Under 194.5


        LAKERS VS ROCKETS
        Rockets are good at home and IS a better team player thanOne Man Show Lakers and the free throw are shocking with Lakers giving freepoints away so have to go with the Underdogs again also going with the underschances are the Lakers are running out of juice.

        Play of the Day 3

        Rockets +2

        Total Under 214.5

          Heat should be -25? lol

          heat will close at less than -11 believe

          books put the early lines out for the squares to pounce on

          of which 65% are on Miami

          good play on the rockets I expect that to close Hous +1 or PK

          Memphis you might be right too

            Thanks Dudley!

            Well seen how Heats unrevelled the Nets on Sunday I don't think Wizards is in the same league as the Nets so the answer is simple, I think too many ppl think too much about the matchups just go with the gut and common sense!

            Go the Beginner's luck!

              I go with the number of the line and public percentage, I can name maybe 15 NBA players, maybe...

              have a great week, pal

                Well after reviewing the options also with Lopez and Evans out leaving the Nets without their leading scorer and top rebounder, have lean towards the Thunders now so my official play for today is:


                Heats -10 5u
                Memphis -10 5u
                Thunders -4 3u
                Wolf +3 3u


                Go the Beginner's luck!

                  Underestimated the Wizards like everyone so will have to be more careful now...proves the worst teams can beat even the best teams on any given day...gee that makes NBA betting tougher

                  Got lucky with Memphis with OT = Money Back

                  Thunder & Wolf as expected did win well so I guess 2 Win / 1 Push / 1 Loss isn't that bad after all

                  Go the Beginner's luck!

                  Any feedback welcome!!

                      Only two games today so a bit boring not going to bit anything crazy today just more watch & learn day however will have a little like $10 bucks on the following just to keep the watching more interesting...


                      Today's TWO Plays (with limited selections)


                      New York Knicks 13.5 - alternative handicaps paying 1.3

                      Dallas Mavericks + 8.5 alternative handicaps paying 1.34


                      You guessed it I have Multi the above two plays unfortunately my bookie don't allow me to include the overs/unders of the same teams in the same Multi otherwise I would have include the following two overs/unders.


                      Knicks/Heats Over 191.5 (Alternate Total Points paying 1.30)

                      Dallas/Suns Under 212.5 (Alternate Total Points paying 1.28)


                      If you somehow can find a bookie allows you to Multi the above 4 bets the return will be around 2.9


                      Tomorrow will be a big day with a few plays I am sure so stay tuned....


                      Any feedback welcome!

                        Wow my all four bets came in today! A bit convervative I know but consistant wins is better than losing I guess.

                        I am bad as I have also gone for the Knicks + 7.5 and Dallas/Suns Under 204.5 naughty I know.

                        More bets for tomorrow coming soon...

                        Any feedback welcome!

                                                  Hi mate not really keeping records but hitting more than 50% at the time so the account balance has been increasing gradually

                                                  Might need more advice on money management and unit betting and stuff but just want to keep it simple and bet small at this stage

                                                    Could have been a tremendous day - the Clippers didn't bring it today otherwise the total would be 'overs' easy.

                                                    Luckily still thrashed the Raptors and we picked up some nice bonus points there Clipper -13.5/-15.5/-17.5 paying 2.4/2.84/3.32 respectively


                                                    The Pacers/Thunder Over were looking great the first half then the Pacers went dead the last quator! I didn't watched the game but I am pretty sure I got really - really close to the Thunder 1-10!!!! Super unlucky I recon.


                                                    The Magic and Jazz played well today so no surprises there, cheers for another positive day!!!


                                                    Also picked up a cheeky multi on the side
