    I'm done betting on NBA spreads/totals
    there is no goddamn rhyme or rhythm to anything. In the NFL, you get great offensive teams like the Patriots or the cowboys and they go over every single week

    in the NBA, you get traditionally great offensive teams like Golden State that is now 2-10 on the over for the season. Hell they played another great offensive team in Phoenix and the game went 20 points under. None of this sh!t happens in the NFL. You had 5 matchups like this last week in the NFL(Eagles gm, Kansas City gm, Patriots game, Colts game, Saints game) and 4 out of the 5 went OVER.

    it's just so goddamn frustrating. You never know what pace teams are gonna play which is basically all that scoring a lot of points comes down to

    On the other side, betting on spreads is even more frustrating cause of what happens in the last 2 minutes of games. You can have a completely close game that finishes with a 10 point difference because of 1 team going cold in the last minute and the other team hitting a bunch of free throws. Teams that are big favorites often fail to cover spreads cause of horrible bench play (they are up 20 and their bench gets outscored by 10 points). You just can't cap this crap

    the only thing that makes any sense to me is moneylines... I will only bet on ML parlays from now on

      So learn to read the lines. They tell you everything you need to know.

          bro there is just no predictability to totals at all


          the problem with basketball is the points scored only comes down to the pace of the teams playing. You can have 2 teams who are very efficient offensively but only score 200 points and go 20 points under the line (simply because they are not playing fast enough and taking enough shots)


          you don't get that in the NFL, 2 efficient excellent offensive teams will nearly always go OVER and 2 bad offensive teams will nearly always go UNDER
