    Am i just that unlucky?

    The last 14 games I played on the NBA, ALL OVER on high scoring teams such as the Denver, OKC, Houston, etc.
    THEY ALL WENT UNDER. is this really serious? Today i am playing all 3 over and 2 went under already and the OKC game doesnt look good for over. HOLy penetrating SHIT,. AM I JUST THAT UNLUCKY TO PLAY 14 over game and 14 GO UNDER? that is so ridiculous.

    I know why I don't like betting totals, but why don't you?

    It's not that you're unlucky, it's just you're not making smart plays. I am very selective with betting under/total and you should too. Always mix it up and look for value bets

    Two things a sports better simply can't do.....bet the underdog & bet the under.
    Books know this & generally hang an xtra 1-1.5 on the fav & xtra 1-3 on the total

    TRY TAKING THAT FREE VALUE THE BOOKS ROUTINELY GIVE & BET AN UNDER EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE!!!

    If you think you can beat NBA totals, you are completely wrong and you are going to lose a lot of money. That's a promise.

    Having said that, an 0-14 streak is very bad luck. I would expect you to go 6-8 or 7-7 over 14 games, losing money along the way. But 0-14 is is horrible luck.

    After losing 14 straight overs I'm sure it's OPs biggest fear to give in and bet an Under only to see it soar over

    Sports betting is tough

    I once considered what you're saying but then concluded that that extra value is likely in part cancelled out by an overtime situation, which kills what would have otherwise been an "under".

    On totals just do the opposite of what seems right. Or dont play them any more like me.

    NBA totals are my favorite. Yesterday at 3 pm locked in Den under 207 -102, Dal under 187 +103. That sounds like bad luck. You must have good BR management skills to make it through this drought. The money is heavy on unders for tonight, so far. I love reduced lines. Hope it picks up for you.

    theres a little scoring surge

    LOL Melo misses a wide open three, literally had time to get in position and air balled it

    Monte Ellis missing FTs

    this shit is done

    This is another reason why overs suck. You know after 12 minutes when you've lost. What fun is that

    You just can't handicap it.
