    Anyone in here with a clue about the NBA? Answer this...

    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?

    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.

    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.

    I remember.

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

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

    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.

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

    BOL though

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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)

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

    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.
