There was a stretch last season where I stopped chasing anything exciting. No first baskets, no 5-leg parlays, no alt lines. I was just tired of losing.
I started betting straight moneylines on heavy favorites.
I took unders in slow-paced matchups.
I bet Jokic assists. Over and over.
One night I had:
Nuggets ML
Jokic over 8.5 assists
Under 225 in Knicks-Cavs
It hit. I think the payout was like +180. Nothing wild. But I didn’t even have to sweat it.
I kept doing that for like 3 weeks and actually built up a balance for the first time.
I got bored eventually and went right back to stupid 5-leg parlays. Lost it all.
But that run stuck with me.
