60%+ games have gone under on MLK for the last few years.

**HoulihansTX** · 01-16-11, 05:43 PM

Jazz/Wiz UN197.5

Suns/Knicks UN221.5

Bobcats/76ers UN189

Raptors/Hornets UN193.5

Buck/Rockets UN193.5

Mavs/Pistons UN190

Kings/Hawks UN201

Nets/Warriors UN20ð

Barring Overtimes, I expect profit.

LB put on a clinic last year. MLK day to remember. I might just throw my capping book away and blindly tail him.

I believe this is a tested trend from several years, correct?

How far back do these trends go and what is the percentage of O/U?

**No coincidences** · 01-17-11, 01:14 AM

These numbers are getting pounded into oblivion.

MLK Day Unders

I recall from last year that unders hit at around 70% on Martin Luther King Day. I like 2 so far.

Suns / Knickerbockers u 221
Jazz / Bullets u 196.5

**keith22** · 01-17-11, 10:09 AM

Was thinking the same thing and taking all the games under.

Try 58.3%, 7-5 last year on the unders.

Over the past four years, unders are 27-20-1, 57.4%. Two of those years over actually were more predominant. Two years ago, an 11-1 under ML King Day has made the trend perhaps look better than it is.

If a "super trend" is being posted in a forum, don't you think the oddsmakers know about it and will make adjustments?

Just my two cents.

bro you lost

**LiarGame** · 01-17-11, 11:56 AM

I thought that there was an unusual trend on MLK. Thanks for the reminder

**No coincidences** · 01-17-11, 12:20 PM

It's because these guys aren't used to playing during the day.

I remember about 10 years ago, I read an article about a player saying he was usually taking his afternoon nap at the time they had a game (explaining his poor performance). And no, I'm not kidding.

**HoulihansTX** · 01-18-11, 01:49 AM

6 under, and 7 over

Fading this trend wouldnt have been profitable either.

I think the league has devolved into a track meet.

If there's a trend, the NBA will find it and squash it. That's what happens when you're in bed with the books.

**No coincidences** · 01-18-11, 01:54 AM

Exhibit A: DET/DAL under.

80 points the first 26 minutes, 112 the last 22. Goes over by 3.

Overs win, 7-6. To continue what I said in an earlier post, now three of the past five MLK days have now had MORE Overs than Unders.

I hate to see anybody lose. That is why I posted the actual records of MLK day.
If somebody is serious about making money, they should do the correct research in a situation such as this.

**HoulihansTX** · 01-18-11, 01:57 AM

But the overs werent profitable.

for 7 out of 13 games to go Over is meerly breaking even.

If you took the over in every game, you have just as much in your pocket as you started off with.

To be exact, you hit 53.8% by taking the Overs today with a profit of .4 unit.
If you played the Unders, as some people said they were or advocated to do so, you lost 1.7 units and hit 46.2%. That is a big difference.

And, I did not tell anybody to play all of the Overs.

I will take making .4 of a unit over losing 1.7 units.

GL2U!
