Sando is back in the game

Sando , you are great and dont hear the haters, they are just jealous

[avuksa]

Oh My God, needed 14 points with 1:49 left in the game to go over and they hit a 3 with 8 seconds left to put it over. That was the worst beat I've seen since the Duke Cincinnati CFB game.

Played the over 216 along with nets -7.5, hornets -2.5 and got the multibet. Thank you Sando. Bad luck mate... That three pointer was so lucky. I know the feeling. Lost a couple of those in the last week, by a point. Good luck to you tommorow.

As a follower of Sando since Thanksgiving Day I agree he is very good at the NBA. He has great discipline on handicapping and he knows what's he doing here. He claims it's a long season and he's exactly right. We see these trolls and I know that is nerve racking and it is just plain wrong. These trolls should go to the ones that cannot pick a winner and there is quite a few of them here. I think it is jealousy that this guy is better than them I guess. I just don't get it.

Here we go again......

Mate, just stick to talking about sports, betting and handicapping.

You want to talk about trolls, go join a Dungeons and Dragons forum.

Sorry my friend. Sando deserves credit for doing great for the past two months don't you agree? I thank him for doing this even with those around that tries to mess with him and I am shocked you don't agree with me. He had a downer here for a few days here recently and I know he takes big time pride in it. Now he has had a fantastic day and he deserves to be given credit for it. Don't you agree?

[face]

way to hit it today sando! big play on hornets hit!

chickened out. do not understand hornets

[sando]

From cold to hot, the swings have been savage in the NBA over the last three days. The good news is with today's success we have crashed through the +50 unit barrier, and seeing as it is well before the all star break I'd say my pre season goal of +100 units in the regular season is definitely on track at this point in time.

I'm not someone who ignores the good luck and cries about the bad luck. I'll be the first to admit that their have plenty of times this season when the luck has swung my way, be it to hit an over or cover ATS in the last few seconds, but the 4 bad beats over the last few days have been pretty hard to swallow.

1 - Wednesday. The Celtics look great, dominating the Suns early and establishing a handy 12 point H/T lead. The Suns fight back to make things interesting in the third before the Celtics re-establish control and appear to be cruising to an ATS victory, before Courtney Lee (career 83% f/t shooter) gets fouled in the dying seconds for no reason and proceeds to miss a f/t and then allow the Suns to stroll up the other end and Dudley hits an uncontested J, losing us the cover by 1 point.

2- Thursday. The Kings were crushing the life out of the Mavericks, up 17 points with 3 and a bit left in the third before they lost interest in the game and Dallas with VC winding back the clock to the vinsanity days just took over and came roaring back to force OT and then just stomp the Kings in OT. Kings -2, tear it up.

3 - Thursday. Pacers game. My big play for the day, was really confident. After a poor start the Pacers just took over, led by George (as usual) and defensively crushed the life out of the Knicks despite shooting terribly themselves. So the Pacers are up by 13 with two minutes leftand obviously the game is over, so they switch off and the Knicks chuck in a couple of threes all of a sudden things get interesting. 18 seconds left and Kidd fires up a three and misses, Knicks get the rebound and Kidd fires up another three and misses, Knicks get the rebound and Prigioni has a crack at three and misses, Knicks get the rebound and Amare chucks in a banker for two with a second or two left on the game clock. All of this against the best fukcing rebounding team in the league. Of course the 5 point final result was a push (and probably for some that got in early at -4.5 a win) yet it was by far the most painful result I've had in weeks.

4. Friday. Lakers/OKC under pretty much on track to hit for the entire game before the third string scrubs throw up 17 points in the final two and a bit minutes to kill the under by 1 point.

Been putting in work and grinding for 2 and a half months in the NBA to make 50 units.

I'm sorry, you have good intentions, but I have to agree with TGM.
Sando's record speaks for itself and is louder than any form of preaching...

I think flagging the negativity only highlights it, and probably adds fuel to the fire.

Sando seems to ignore the negativity cause he doesn't want to dwell in it and so should we. Water under the bridge, move on.

Sando, maybe you know NBA far greater than you think you do and should trust yourself and instincts far more than stats and research. Use research to back your thoughts, and not to sway you.

Just food for thought, either way you're doing splendidly...

NBA Saturday

Utah @ Detroit
Pistons -2 (-105, $1.95 Pinnacle) 3x
The low post advantage the Jazz enjoys against most teams does not exist against the Pistons. The Pistons as a team are literally improving with every game. Despite having a (solid) 10-9 record at home, they have actually won 5 of their last 6 at home, with victories over Miami, Atlanta and Milwaukee included and bizzarely the loss coming against Charlotte of all teams. The Pistons have also won 7 of their last 10 overall and are one of the few continually under-valued teams in the NBA. I hit up No Coincidences for an opinion on this game (as a Detroit local) and he commented that the Pistons are loaded with young talent but have poor coaching. Sadly i have to agree with him, but regardless make no mistake about it - Detroit, along with Houston, Toronto, Orlando and San Antonio are one of the ATS money teams in the NBA. After a horrible start to the season (lost their first 8 in a row) they have won 7 of their last 10 and have gone 6-4 ATS. Even with the 4 games they have lost ATS, 3 of them lost by the hook or 1 point. This team is continually undervalued by the books, mostly because of their lack of a big name and also partly because they are not in an NBA glamour city. I have watched a lot of the Pistons this year and feel like I have a solid handle on the team and I would go as far as to say that the Pistons in Detroit when playing their best basketball can beat any team in the NBA, yes that includes OKC and San Antonio, any team. Monroe is starting to deliver, no more waiting. Is it a coincidence that the current run has Monroe averaging 18.8 points and 11 rebounds over the last 5? I think not. Despite the wealth of young talent from 1-3 (Knight, Drummond, Daye, Singler) this is still a physical grinding team (always has been) and their future success absolutely will revolve around Monroe moving forward. The big fella has the potential to be a top 3 centre in the league and whilst 5 games is an awfully small sample size, anyone that has watched those 5 games will understand what I am talking about. Monroe is developing into a presence in the low post and is almost at the point where we are talking auto double team. Add to that a suprisingly reliable mid range J and we have the makings of a true NBA centre (of which their are almost none in the NBA outside of Bynum). Utah coming off the back2back and with a poor road record (as has been the case for years) of 8-15 is not going to make the task any easier (although the Pistons are also on the back2back).

More analysis to follow later...

Orlando @ LA Clippers
Magic +13 (-108, $1.92 IAS/Sportsbet) 1x

Miami @ Sacramento
Heat -7 (-106, $1.94 Pinnacle) 2x
*The time has finally come to stop fading these idiots. Today a long overdue double digit victory for the Heat I think. Dominant ATS stats against the Kings, 19-3 in the last 22 (ATS) and 7-1 in the last 8.

Heat 1st Quarter -2.5 (-105, $1.95 Pinnacle) 0.5x
*Sticking with my lean that the Heat will come out firing today.

Houston @ Philly
76'ers m/l (-108, $1.92 IAS/Sportsbet) 1x
*The $2.00 was long gone from Sportingbet when I went to place my wager, so I found the next best price available at IAS. Shouldn't have procrastinated on this one for so long as could have gotten +110 on Philly at one point. All the late money coming in on the Sixers.

Charlotte @ Indiana

Will Sando's head explode if the NFC championship game is 49 ers vs seahawks?

[face]

leaning stephens to destroy halep again like she did last week.

[davopnz]

man i'm getting buried on the nba every bet down due to 2nd half collapses...i think i might be a quarters/halves man. i had bucks today, lakers against rockets, celtics against grizzlies and a stack of other bets. i cant get a team that will give me a 48 minute performance. pretty terrible run here. glad that season is back

You want to give him some credit, shoot him some betpoints.
Better still, transfer some of your winnings to his bank account.
Take note of how the rest of the forum thanks him - a simple "Sando Is King" will suffice.

He knows how good he is.
Any person with half a brain that has been tailing or following also knows how good he is.
All they have to do is look at the runs on the board.

Now enough about this, let's get back to talking tips and winners!

[gonliSs]

Sando, what is your tennis record?

[sando]

Sando, what is your tennis record?

Very good until the last 2 days although still in the positive units overall, are you trying to say something? I always update my records win or lose, however I take losses hard and excuse me for having a lot of research to do with the Aus open just around the corner.

[necro]

Exactly, Sando you are one of the few fellas here whom average Joe can believe that stats are true and always updated. And most important, constant growth of profit

[Sacky]

Pistons -2 (-105, $1.95 Pinnacle) 3x
Magic +13 (-108, $1.92 IAS/Sportsbet) 1x

Yes sir, I like these two.

Aus open just around the corner.

and I can't wait. I rarely bet on the WTA and smaller tournaments but you are changing my attitude towards them with your success rate. Keep it up mate.

Good luck today

Sorry my apologies. After a losing period I tend to be on high alert for the haters coments.

[UsManyDead]

Hello Sando. Good comeback. It always happens in betting to have up's and down's, but the most important factor is to be able to get past it fast. It seems that you have little time at you disposal. I'm still waiting on some information, when you have the time to post it, about your tennis system.
GL


L.E.: By the way do you know of a tennis stats site that posts the % win on first serve, second, aces etc. about most of the players, beside TI(pay-only)? I mean a free site. Thanks.

[mvanja]

I followed wed and thu and fell to sleep last night

[sando]

If anybody has the spare time or is simply willing to go back through my NBA record to the beginning of the season and compile a win-loss record of the individual unit plays I will pay them 500 betpoints for the effort. I know for a fact their has been one 4x play (today) and one 3.5x play and perhaps 6-8 3x plays and 15+ 2x plays. The rest would be 1 to 1.5 unit plays. I estimate this task would take 2-4 hours, no doubt with 100+ pages of the thread and countless comments in between it is a herculean task, however if anyone has the time or desire to do so they will be renumerated appropriately. Please post if you are going to do so, first one to nominate has the job, because don't want two people doing the same job. So the end result would look something like this...

1x plays 20-15
1.5x plays 10-10
2x plays 8-8
2.5x plays 3-2
3x plays 4-3
3.5x plays 1-0
4x plays 1-0

etc, etc...

^Haha however does it has wayyyyyyy too much time. =D

I'm on it. I need the points haha.

If no one will do it, just let me know, i can do it.

All this close results tells us just one thing, that you are as good as the odds makers in Vegas are. It can't go always our way but I've read somewhere that luck always break even. Just keep ur good work and hopefully we get more nights like last night (some times I think that me following ur picks is the reason of ur bad luck). Any way just opened my pinnacle account so I'm ready to do some damage... (to the books, I hope)

[sheps88]

Had Golden State to win 3rd quarter by 0.5 the Warriors go up by 2 with 6 secs left. Blazers come up the court with 1.5 secs left get fouled. The guy misses both ft but Blazers get rb and buzzer beater are you fn kidding me. Cost me 2 different bets.

[steveq]

met you twos maybe 3 and no ego you welcomed me with open arm none is hold a gun to anyone and the haters well that what they do they hate who know maybe they were dropped to many time
keep your head up and on right kindness speaks volumes

It won't allow me to transfer you 500 points. I am limited to only donating 2 points per day.

Took the same plays as you mate (and few more)

Good luck!!!

P.S. the only worry I have is that Pistons fly to Europe right after the game, so maybe it will throw them a bit of their rhythm...
