Quit why you are ahead!! It will get ugly if you keep doing that! Nice job though...congrats

I would say it's just a coincidence but if it's cashing I would ride that train until it falls of the tracks. Although it would be interesting if you kept track of what you played or games you looked and found if there was any sort of trend developing. Interesting to say the least.

I have just bet betting $20 a game on each of them.

**obamaismyuncle** · 10-28-10, 10:50 PM

#24564760: Straight Bet (10-28-2010 21:28) Utah Jazz/Phoenix Suns ( U +209 -105) (FG)

**obamaismyuncle** · 10-28-10, 10:50 PM

#24558087: Straight Bet (10-28-2010 18:32) Washington Wizards/Orlando Magic (O+191 -110) (FG)

Keep doing the over one. Dont do the under one anymore. This is how i killed in MLB team totals the last 3 months of the MLB season. IF the line is 196 and the totals add up to 197 do it but at least 1 point over.

**Rixsaw** · 10-28-10, 10:54 PM

if it works, don't fix it. If it help you make money, roll with it.

I remember.

Why not bet the unders if they come in a full point under? thanks.

**obamaismyuncle** · 10-28-10, 11:10 PM

So this will go to 8-0 if the Suns/Jazz game continues at this same pace, but it will be close.

So I have bet 6 over/unders in the NBA this year, all of them in the last 2 days and hit them all. All I am doing is adding up the team totals and if it's higher than the over/under line I bet the over and if it comes in under I take the under. If it hits the exact number I don't bet it. Also did this and won in the FSU/NC St. game tonight. I put the bets in right before the games start, certainly they wouldn't make it this easy, would they? Am I just getting lucky?

Or what?

What team totals are you using???

What do you mean? you get an over/under total and individual team totals. I add the individual team totals up. been using betpheonix and 5dimes, maybe that's what you were asking.

**Bswitz32** · 10-28-10, 11:26 PM

Sounds like a good plan for a few days but in time, just like any other method it is sure to backfire

BOL though

That's what I was asking... All 8 games had that much a difference in the lines?

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that before. All the game lines off. Very interesting.

**allabout the $$$** · 10-29-10, 06:33 AM

#24552172: Straight Bet (10-28-2010 10:41) NC State/Florida State (U+59 -110) (FG) W

Not sure what the individual team toals were, but remembered it comming up to 58 or 58.5, and the line was 59 at the time, seen it more around quite a bit yesterday.

**obamaismyuncle** · 10-29-10, 07:38 AM

I am not saying I discovered a hidden treasure here, but it has been 8-0 over the last two days. Will just keep betting a straight $20 on the ones I like and see how far it goes.

**NeVa_CaSh** · 10-29-10, 07:38 AM

sometimes the simplest things make you money.Set a number when u lose that many in a row bail out

**wquine** · 10-29-10, 07:54 AM

can't knock it b/c i never tried it. GL to you.

**Raven66** · 10-29-10, 08:37 AM

I gotta try this.

**jasont** · 10-29-10, 08:52 AM

Been just betting a straight $20 on each of the 8 games, not betting to win $20. I am think of lowering it to $10 to guarantee some sort of profit when it goes South.

**chilidog** · 10-29-10, 09:35 AM

So you're taking any bet that is at least a half point higher/lower than the game total, and playing the appropriate side? Or do you wait for a 1+ point difference?

**obamaismyuncle** · 10-29-10, 09:40 AM

been betting any game with a atleast a 1/2 point difference.

**dvb02** · 10-29-10, 10:15 AM

Obama, it looks like you will be taking the Under in the w.virg/uconn game then b/c it is about a 2 point difference. (on betus)

wanna just stick to nba, only threw the cfb game into there last night cause it was the only one. May do tonight's cfb game too.

**dom75** · 10-29-10, 01:20 PM

Intersting to say the least, if it works it works, just don't go too crazy with it.

**Styles** · 10-29-10, 04:22 PM

Imma try this with NHL and see how it works out..

**BernardMadoff** · 10-29-10, 04:27 PM

Not to poo poo on this, but its merely coincidence. Its not hard to move team totals especially when they first come out, more money is put on game totals so they will move and not necessarily the team totals unless its a big enough movement, with that good luck with this.
