SSK's NBA Thread

[ssk13809]

We all know how good I do in the NFL.


But the NBA is my main game. I know it inside out.

I'll post my picks in this thread. I'm basically the best handicapper on SBR for the NBA for those that don't know. Enough said.


Let the $$$ start.



We'll start with 100 units for the season.





My 1st bet will be:


Lakers -320
Win 10 Risk 32.5

Really confident they will win.

[ssk13809]

Well I'm off to a head-start in the NBA. I knew the Lakers would win.



But just to get it clear, I don't make bets like this often. But just wanted to get a head-start for the NBA season.

Another ML thread?

You wont get many followers or be very successful in the long run when your on that kind of chalk.

But good luck regardless

I do ATS/ML

And like I just said, I don't bet like this often. It's just a Season-Opener thing.

[OvertimePlease]

risking 32 units to win 10 isn't really smart gambling. Win or lose. Period.

[ssk13809]

Bets for tomorrow


Celtics -3
Risk 3.3 to Win 3

Nuggets -3.5
Risk 3.3 to Win 3

[ssk13809]

Its an opening day thing. Probably won't happen again in the season. Actually it probably will. But maybe once or twice.

[ssk13809]

Bad day, 1-1. I don't know what happened to Boston.

[ssk13809]

Tomorrow's picks


Wizards +14
Risk 2.2 to Win 2

[TeamTT]

I like the wizards as well, huge line

[ssk13809]

Yeah, I also think the ML is worth a shot

Wizards +1200
Risk 0.5 Units to Win 6

[Joe Sharp]

You are the Best NBA Capper on SBR? Are you a ghost? Cause you joined 2 MONTHS ago.... Have you seen any threads by lakerboy, sweetjones, sawyer, etc etc? There are many guys that have been doing VERY well for YEARS.

I wish you the best of luck! I'm just pointing out that it's a pretty crazy claim.

I'll be routing for ya

[ScottLocke]

this guy just wins... nuff said, like seriously!!!!

[ScottLocke]

funny how he was so close to losing 1/3rd of his br to start the season

[hawley]

Do you think I regret it?

i would of thought one of the best cappers on SBR would of at least played the spread not the squarest play on the board

but hey you won

[ssk13809]

There are no sharps or squares. There are only winners and losers.


Remember that.

Tomorrow's picks


Wizards +14
Risk 2.2 to Win 2

You know Arenas isn't playing!!! No worries, this bet just won't count or we can have an imaginary make-up bet if they lose!

[BetterBizness]

Tomorrow's picks


Wizards +14
Risk 2.2 to Win 2

Was close..

-2.2 ...

[BetterBizness]

Yeah, I also think the ML is worth a shot

Wizards +1200
Risk 0.5 Units to Win 6

Even closer...

-0.5 ...

That's Net -2.7 for the night....

9.7-2.7 = 7.0 ... In case your calculator loses a battery or something....

[ssk13809]

In case your calculator loses a battery or something....

You are talking to a math major



Net Day: Loss -2.7


Oh well. This will be one of my worst days of the year. Glad to get rid of it early. Still way positive for the year.

[ssk13809]

I think you have the wrong guy. Because I count all my bets no matter what happens. And if by "imaginary" you mean another game I will actually post (but not bet), then thats okay.

[TheThreeKings]

So let me get this straight...

You are the "best NBA capper here", yet you bet 32% of your bankroll on the Lakers ML on opening night when they were without Bynum, had Kobe playing with a bum knee, and were against one of the better backcourts in the league? Possibly the dumbest pick (and money management) I've seen, regardless of the outcome.

As I said to the other guy.

There are no good picks or bad picks. There are only winning and losing picks.

Remember that.

No truly great capper would ever lay 32% of the Lakers ML (inflated to all hell I might add). A bit full of yourself don't you think? You'll learn with age.

I just knew they would win. Either way, I don't regret it one bit. I'm going to be green all season.

[hawley]

gunna drop another 30 units on the lakers ml tomorrow?

sharp play

You knew Steve Blake was going to hit the game-winning 3? Great bet then!

[ssk13809]

From my great knowledge and experience, I know that great teams just end up winning close games 1 way or another.


You'll learn some day kid.

I don't do things like that often as I said. It was just a "Season Opener" thing.

Perhaps the dumbest reason for making such a dumb bet.

Great teams just tend to win close games? Did you expect Houston to dominate that game? What happened to Boston in Cleveland?

Not the dumbest reason for me. I'm 8-0 ML Life Season Openers. They are my thing.

I bet on Boston too. But not a big ML because they weren't at home, and the crowd can have some affect.





Either way, good luck to the rest of your season, but I guarantee you will have no where near the success I will have this year. I can already tell you will make a lot of mistakes and miss many easy bets.

The crowd caused a great team to lose to a shitty one?

You a clearly a rookie to the NBA. Please be smart and keep your bet sizes in check with your total bankroll so you don't go broke, assuming you are betting real money of course.

[ssk13809]

Boston was home "genius"

What happened to Boston in Cleveland?

In case you didn't know, Boston and Cleveland are the names of 2 different cities in America. Thus logically, Boston can't be at home in Cleveland. And it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.


I'll give more general knowledge lessons later. But it seems you have a lot to learn.

You have previously stated that this is your first year betting games. So how are you 8-0 in openers then?


Here is the reason why I can tell you are not a real capper. And I think all real cappers would agree with me here. YOU ARE RIDICULOUSLY RESULTS ORIENTED!!! One game means shit, the W or L doesn't mean anything at all. BUT, one thing you can tell after a game is, what the right side was. As you should know, the right side does not always win. The Lakers were def not the right side that game. If you played that same exact game 100 times, there is no possible way you finish up laying 360 on the ML, or whatever ridiculous line you laid.
