When Are You Guys Gonna Stop Gambling on Totals??

[brahmabull117]

gambling on totals in basketball is just a bunch of bullshit



it's based nearly about 80% on pacing. You can have 2 teams play a good efficient game and only score 80-90 points each, and then you can have 2 teams play a sloppy game but still score 110 each because they are jacking up shots every 5 seconds



it just makes no sense and follows no logical reasoning (for example, 2 great offensive teams in football nearly always go OVER the line, yet Golden State and Phoenix have gone UNDER the line every matchup this year)




basketball best betting = ML parlays and Spreads

football best betting = ML parlays, totals, spreads

At least you don't have to worry about an upset.

Ridiculous...

Currently, you can bet three times as much on today's NBA spreads as on the totals for the same games at Pinnacle. Why do you think they would put such limitations on the totals if they were harder to win at than spreads...?

2nd half totals are great

NFL has the best total betting

[ebbearsfb1]

Yeah fouling and lay downs in bball make totals damn near impossible.. nfl and nhl can sometimes have garbage scores. But mlb its not like if ur up 8 1 in the ninth the pitcher is gonna throw up fat ones for shyts and giggles

The words parlay and best bet do not belong in the same sentence.
Bookies love parlay bettors, you are counting on multiple teams to win one bet.

I do ML parlays with 2 teams in football and 3-4 teams in basketball


it's not that hard to predict SU winners brah


I dont' do parlays on spreads

[JOHON8]

There are some people who bet on 10 totals a day. There are some who pick out 1 total every once in a while.

It can be very profitable or it can be disastrous.

well said.

I tend to like the totals in nba after I found out an equation for it.

I play with my own system which helps me to think like a square and cash. It is all about cashing and playing with the bookie's money.

Worst thing about totals is betting the under and the game goes to OT (like the Sixers game today, which I had)

[Allstar]

The way i look at the totals is to see what the juice is gunna cost me to play it. If it shows a -115 -120, then ill play it. The books don't want you playing that because it normally hits and it makes you think twice if you wanna lay the juice to win a certain amount. I've been hitting a lot lately on the -115.

I'm not scared of OT. I'm more scared of games whining down in regulation and they start playing college techniques like fouling and puts up 30 points in 2minutes.
