bASKETBALL IS THE WORST TO BET ON

Never know who is gonna show up that night and if they even wanna play hard

agree. But you can cash on that, for example a good team will most likely play lousy against a weak opponent if they have an important game the next day. Is not a rule, but you can cash on it most of the time. Just for example, Lakers will likely lose at Indiana if the next night they play Boston. You can combine this with the fact that weaker teams try always very hard to beat a reputable team, so always look not just at the present game, but look at the future schedule and plan accordingly.

There is always an edge, the trick is finding it.

[PatrickBateman]

Tottally agree with the second post

[lunchbawks]

find your edge!

one time i saw hedo turkoglu, demar derozan, and sonny weems absolutely pissed at a club called "This is London"

It was 3AM and they played a 12:30 day game... faded toronto, won 2K

[Wojo]

There are some cappers that do well in the NBA. I guess they must be finding that edge.

[jjgold]

All sports are tough

NFL is the hardest

[Albert Pujols]

This.

[jjgold]

I think Soccer and Tennis might be somewhat easier if you really follow the sport

[Bradyd]

MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL are all about the same. Any team can win on any given night. The only thing that makes it "easier" is how familiar you are with the sport....

[Baller85]

I find the NBA to be easiest to bet on. I always cash big.

[andywend]

I always cash big.

Funny stuff!!!

i hate that friggin club.

[THEGREAT30]

not any worse than NFL, I think the NFL is the worse sport to bet on

[Congruency]

try betting baseball, where kevin correia can beat roy halladay

baseball is a lot tougher, but there were many times in basketball where heartbreaking, sketchy plays go on at the end

[Carseller4]

MLB and NBA are best. More opportunites, more trends.

[PlatinumBerg]

Betting is betting, I really don't think one sport is easier to bet on than another sport. Your reasoning can be applied to the NFL, NHL, and MLB as well.

[Defuzas]

There are many sports outside USA, whose are more predictive. But there are no such sport with easy take.

I think the NFL thing is because you are betting against more people than the other sports. But then again no one said the people betting NFL are good at it. I would rather be up against a lot of idiots then a few smart people.

[tanner40]

I love the NBA. MLB has been hit or miss for me this year

[Diesel79]

It is the worst and the best also..... if you know what you are doing, you could be rich. But there is also lots of heartbreaking losses. Team could be up by 20 with 5 minutes left and then bench totally gives it away and makes it 5-6 point win and your -8 spread is a loss

[sosoon]

This is harder to bet on NBA spread because everything can change into seconds only. I can't remember how many time I got screw on the last shoot( I HATE KOBE FOR THAT :P) or time spending last play (spread was -9 and they lead by 8 and don't even shoot in the last ball possession). This is why, I don't bet often on pro basketball. I prefer bet on ncaa market, the favorite when I toke those who tend to crush the opponent until the END of the remaining time.

[raydog]

bases is very volatile right now...gl with it

[Miley Cyrus]

i AGREE! bASEBALL FTW!

[Mexes]

no it's the best
you can easily hit some underdog winners

[nastradamus]

if you know how, it´s easy make profit in basketball and other sports

[secret007]

I do well in NBA. Tennis on the other hand..

[lunchbawks]

tennis betting is a black hole, too many upsets

[BernardMadoff]

Just like there are key numbers to play across in football, the same holds true for basketball. In any sport its about picking spots, what I see from many people is that they play too many games on a given day, zoom in on a few games and you will fair better.

[gushman]

I think there are a few cappers (lakerboy, paco, shoebox, etc) on this board who would disagree with this statement.

[SRBI]

It's all garbage. Go to school get a degree and get yourself a nice job. This is no way to make a living. You will always lose in the end. That's what a local bookie told me, and I'll be damned if he's wrong. Just accept it folks, I know its hard for a lot of you to do, but one day you just gotta accept the fact.

Or bet for fun, like a lot of us do. The stress of taking this shit too seriously alone will take off 10 years from your lifespan.

[BernardMadoff]

Should be a good season.

[shoebox]

No disrespect to any of those guys but the word capper is thrown around too loosely, I dont think they come up with numbers and play according to those numbers.

You have me figured out

All my coin flips down the drain .......

[spartangreen]

love NCAA mid majors.

[eldoctord]

Most of us find gambling on certain sports easier than others based on our results. For example, I love to bet on baseball because it turns out just like I predict. Streaks are always a factor but sports rarely go according to script regardless the shape of the ball.
