I don't know how/why anyone plays totals

I teased it. So my rain dance was partially responsible for the 4th quarter.

The lack of defense in this league is appalling.

On second thought, I do:

OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER....

It's been easy. Over has hit all but one (game 3) spurs go on 6-8 game runs where the over hits.. that's why I play totals

Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it doesn't work for the rest of us. To each their own.

I'm 90 percent totals in all sports and do ok. Late money...cmon man stop spinning your wheels with useless ish. You're too good.

I'm just observing. I stopped playing totals a long time ago. The overs are hitting at an unreal clip.

Your type of capping doesn't lend itself to totals as well as spreads/ml etc. And you crush at that in pretty much every sport.

So just keep doing what works for you! Also totals (specifically half, 2h, quarter totals) are a significantly smaller market and bigger edges can be more easily found.

Also. It's more fun to root for both teams. At least for me.

I'm assuming you predominantly bet overs. Sure doesn't seem like, at least lately, there's much strategy involved with these horrible games. Favorites and overs are a deadly combo. This league is just plain doghit after Golden State and Cleveland TBH.

I gave up years ago on this sport. I could go on and on whats wrong with this sport ,by why bother. It has its market and we all know what that is , and it will never lose it.

Don't bet NBA all that much. But when I pick a spot it's always an over.

We also know who has been put in charge for the last few dercades. They know how to drain copper from every penny. So why bother putting a good product out there.

My solution would not make nearly as much as they do now. But it would be one hell of a great product.

I know you're a Dubs fan so you probably enjoy this "new" style of NBA, but I can't stand watching no one check anyone. Ironically, Golden State is about the last decent defensive team left on the board (and Spurs, but they're getting old and really aren't that talented after Kawhi).

tatddy · 05-08-17, 10:45 PM

Don't watch NBA. Crap product. Used to watch all dubs games but boycotting team this year. Well boycotting Durant for signing here.

And I'd much prefer a good defensive game.

BroBuck23 · 05-08-17, 10:53 PM

What is the market? Frontrunner morons who don't even understand the game? I don't get it. Why do people hype this crap? In all seriousness, I would love for you to get detailed about it.

I'm not saying it has to be an 80-76 slugfest like it used to get at times, but this shit today is borderline un-watchable for me. Zero respect for the defensive end.
