what a coincidence that all the crappy NBA teams all started winning huge games or extremely close right around the same time. This has never happened from what I recall. Maybe an upset here and there, but for all these teams at once to consolidate and all start winning against the boston celtics, san antonio spurs, dallas mavericks, detroit pistons is all just weird.. i still cant get how detroit got blown out by 30 points to the fukkin knicks and how Miami came within miliseconds of defeating the Mavs

don't forget about how the 76ers overcame houston, wizards killing boston twice in a row, the best pacific team losing to the worst pacific team, etc etc etc...

Yes this OegNo. It is also a scoreboard when the games are in action. SBR Odds
Strike the NBA? Just because the favorites aren't cashing? Does it have to be a favorite for you to bet on it?

80 % of my bets are on the favorites. I only sometimes bet the underdogs. I took the Kings ML the other day and the Sonics +7 as an underdog against the Lakers I do bet underdogs but only certain occasions when times call for it.. It's just really sick how the underdogs are taking out the favorites... Well I mean I can understand maybe 1 upset or an underdog by 3 points defeating the favs.. The Kings were +6 underdogs against the Dallas Mavs and I took the Kings to win straight up and won that bet (I love Kevin Martin )..
By NY knicks blowing the Pistons out? Wizards defeating the best team in the NBA TWICE??? Mavericks having to win the game relying off a buzzer beater 3 by Jerry Stackhouse???? Dallas nearly losing to The Miami Heat??? The Detroit Pistons by the skin of their teeth just BARELY pulling the win off against Charlotte??? The San Antonio Spurs down by 1 point at halftime against the worst team in the league the minnesota timberwolves??? Theres alot more to mention as welll. I'm scared here man
staying away from NBA action until I see my old NBA light it back up. Pistons getting blown out by the Knicks really is whats keeping me away from it all

It is like this every year. Teams can't go 82-0, especially 82-0 ATS, and it seems the top teams over look the average or less then average teams. So you will cash in on the dogs, if you can pick your spots, you can even hit some nice underdog money lines.

its too much of a coin flip sometimes...its gambling, odds will ALWAYS be against us...even with all the statistical research gathered around the world, theres still lurking variables like injuries that are uncharted...even statistics are only 95% true, what if stats say that steve nash will score 30 points, have 12 assists, and suns overtake the opponent by 10 points, but gets tackled by adam sandler from the stands and suffers a head concussion....you just NEVER know =\

No, of course no team is gonna go undefeated. Thats unheard of. I also don't mind seeing an upset here and there, but this is to much of a friggin coincidence..All these underdogs started winning or lost to the elite teams by 1-2 points in the same time period. This just started happening..Like I said, wouldn't mind seeing an upset victory here and there, but c'mon.......Knicks blowing the Pistons out? Thats a joke. The Knicks are an embraassment and David Lee is ugly.

There isnt anything wrong with the NBA, you just gotta adjust the way you wager to the circumstances.

Jeffries, use it to YOUR advanage. Occasionally look for a good ML dog and hit it small. I got lucky with the 6ers last night and about a few weeks ago on portland at +1100 at the beginning of their hot streak. Bet small but remember that ALL of these guys are millionaire pros and CAN play ball. Pick your spots. GL, pal!
