Any Interest in an NBA Best Bet Thread?

[williams22]

Would anyone be interested in having this? I would be more than happy to run it if everyone thought it would be good/useful.

On a side note, I may start tracking all the posted plays in the NBA section to help me figure out who is for real and who isn't here.

[18kk]

Good idea.

[Mikail]

Sounds good! I will participate.

[lakerboy]

Woudnt participate. Hate contests- suck ass at them

[HoulihansTX]

Count me in.

[williams22]

Just to be clear, I don't think it would classify as a contest as I'm not really offering any real prize. It would more be a way or tracking users' picks and seeing who the best cappers are.

If anyone has any suggestions for exactly what they would like it to consist of I'm all ears. Do we want to make it one bet per day? two? Should we assume every bet is for 1 unit or can users vary their units?

I'm willing to run whatever you guys want.

Any lakerboy, I would hope you will participate as you are clearly one of the better cappers here.

76ers/Celtics Under 197

[Mikail]

I suggest that it be for 1 pick per poster daily. Perhaps it could be a choice of 1 unit or 2 depending on how good you like the play.

[dogcity]

Not a contest, just a 'consistency check'...

Good idea and a generous offer. I'd benefit from this...

[2daBank]

sounds good if anything we should end up with a lot of solid picks on 1 thread as at the moment we seem to have a good number of guys that are pretty good at this shit

[CappinTerp]

Sounds like a good idea. BOS./PHIL. - UNDER-195

[KiDBaZkiT]

Its pretty clear that Houlihans and lakerboy are SBR's elite NBA cappers.

[KiDBaZkiT]

^^^ No disrespect to anyone else, their are plenty of great cappers here, these two just have the edge on them.

[Mikail]

The thread mainly would serve as input from everyone as to what they think is the days best bet. Hence the name NBA best bet thread.

[PAULYPOKER]

Dallas-5 1/2

[bustabook]

are we supposed to be posting the "play of the day" on this thread or are you making a separate one?

[2daBank]

[2daBank]

bos cle ml gotta be the best 4sure but no fun

[williams22]

Ok seems like there is plenty of interest. I will get this set up for tomorrow and ready to go. Each user can submit 1 pick each day for 1-3 units. I will track win/loss records and p/l in units for each user.

[sneak-a-peak]

Nice idea. The NBA is very entertaining

[williams22]

I think we will have to institute a chalk limit of -180 or so to keep those guys you bet ridiculous MLs in check. A 70% win record means nothing when you bet -600 regularly.

[pattymayo]

i think you should eliminate ML altogether, except dogs of course. Just spread and totals

[williams22]

I agree.
