I'm new here and just chanced upon this forum. I just started betting on NBA games lately (a month ago) but have been following the games religiously for the past few years now.
I've been betting on my local bookie but I want to set up an account for myself on the numerous sportsbooks advertised here. I hate giving up my cc info online since I knew somebody I knew got hit hard when he gave it up on a nondescript online betting book. Can I use PayPal as my account instead? And when you say 1 unit, how much exactly is 1 unit? I need to catch up quick on your bball talk here, but I usually good playing it by ear! lol
It's till early and some of the odds are not out yet but here are my inital picks for today, Sunday, 1/31/2010. I still have to do a thorough analysis on these games though, so don't take my word for it:
Magic -5 and under
Although the Magic are 1-11 against the Pistons at Auburn Hills in their last 12 head to head, they are on a high right now, which they can carry on to this game. PLUS I wouldn't put my own money on the Pistons even if there was a gun in my head!
I really like the Magic to cover (a 9 to me with 10 being max) while the under is a a 7 1/2 for me.
Thanks for those who bothered to read my thread and responded, and I really enjoyed your insights for each and every game. Ya'll doing a great job here!
