A Key to betting the Heat all year

d2bets · 10-26-10, 02:51 PM

I think Heat first quarter; opponent 2nd quarter.

LVBOUND · 10-26-10, 03:07 PM

I got caught in a conversation during the first post so it had to be short.

to follow up, The reason I think to bet the Heat first half is because the lines will normally be so large that when they are up late and pull their starters the backups will let the lead fade to under the spread. I feel the first half you will see all the starters play till halftime and you almost always see Lebron get the last shot of a quarter.

My 2 Cents

I'm looking forward to the tons of points I'm going to get betting against them. Even tonight! Boston a dog at home against a group that hasn't played together much. This sh*t will take time for them the gel if it comes together at all.

if they pull their starters there is nobody left

Husker36 · 10-26-10, 03:39 PM

I cant see betting the first half like ALL SEASON long would be profitable. I can see this team getting bored in the middle of the season, finding themselves down at the half... and then battling back to win against lesser teams. Oh wait..... I guess everyone in the NBA would be a lesser team

The Heat has a decent bench. I don't know why people think there bench is crap...

pavyracer · 10-26-10, 03:41 PM

Correct. Bet Heat 1st Half. If they don't cover bet them for 2nd half since the line will be better than the game line at that point.

ukbro00 · 10-26-10, 03:44 PM

Whatever the trend is with the team this season, the books will catch on pretty quick. You are not going to keep the same strategy and consistantly win.

CHAZ · 10-26-10, 03:45 PM

Bet against them early and then go from there as the season plays out. Vegas will eventually dial them in.

unusialsusp5 · 10-26-10, 04:12 PM

unless you have to pay 12-10 on first half or 2nd half wagers then don't. you will get chewed to shreds paying 12-10 on anything. first half 2nd half quarters are for suckers who want to churn their action and have no patience to wait out a whole game to get a result. bet the whole game only.

csm506 · 10-26-10, 04:18 PM

Thanks for the 2 points GL with that 1st half angle

I agree...Teams play to win the game, not a quarter or a half.

good luck with the strategy

jjgold · 10-26-10, 04:52 PM

Everything factored into line

Most likely they finish around 500 as far as against spread in 1st half

You have to pick your spots

Landscaper · 10-26-10, 04:53 PM

Love the heat 2night

Cubs4591 · 10-26-10, 04:58 PM

teach me how to pick spots like you

ukbro00 · 10-26-10, 05:02 PM

The heat need to win this game much more than the Celtics do. The three of them will do anything not to lose.

Just a tip. I could be wrong but just a hunch.

What do you guys think?

i think you should watch a dozen games or so before applying any type of strategy to betting nba...especially if you are gambling for a living... if its just for entertainment, trying some first half wagers is just as good as anything else i guess... gl

Agreed %100.

ptall · 10-26-10, 05:22 PM

i think your right, in the game vs the hawks they weren't able to close it out at all, i think the hawks went on a 10-1 run to end the game

I agree. People should tread litely coming out of the gate. Wait and see how all teams are doing. Miami won't always be the play every night.

ProfaneReality · 10-26-10, 05:26 PM

I think it would be the exact opposite... they are going to get everyones best shot, including the subpar teams who have the ability to jump out early but not sustain it.

I think dogs 1st half are the better way to go than fav's 1st half.

Cap dat 4ss · 10-26-10, 05:28 PM

My best advice, don't fade them this year. They are locked in and focused. Thats really scary considering the amount of talent they have.

TheThreeKings · 10-26-10, 05:31 PM

If you think its going to be this simple or that this is a unique thought you are in for a rude awakening. You have to pick your spots with the heat, just like every other team.

ProfaneReality · 10-26-10, 05:31 PM

they dont have much outside the big 2 and a half. When your centers are Joel Anthony and Ilguaskus you are going to get worked inside.

dreamjob · 10-26-10, 05:34 PM

I like the first quarter theory. I think the heat should come out strong. I dunno but def something to keep an eye on

Really? 06-07 Cavs go the finals only to get swept by the team of the Decade. 07-08 they make it into the 2nd round. 08-09 they go 39-2 @ home, win 8 str8 playoff games by 10+ and make it to the East. Conf. Finals ALL WITH ILGAUSKUS as the big man. Doesn't sound like a team that got worked inside.

I think they thing to remember is that the Heat might be the most hyped superteam in the league, they're not the only superteam. Boston has added quite a bit although they are older and prone to dogging in the regular season. Before LeBron and Chris Bosh joined Dwayne Wade's team (and it is *his* team), there was Kobe/Pau/Ron Artest.

If anything, I'd bet the over. This team looks like they're going to want to run and can score on anyone and they're not going to be too keen on defense. They might not exactly be the Warriors, but averaging 100+ per game shouldn't be that difficult.
