getting good numbers is the key

[jayc88]

to winning (in the nba)




had houston +9.5
and

cavs/celts u184.5


both won by half a point.


don't forget to shop around for the best available line before you place your wagers for tomorrow.

i'm here long enough to know that, but that's not the point.
I didn't make the thread to brag about my winnings, it was just an advice to posters for the upcoming season ,
so keep your negative bullshit to yourself or shut the fukk up guy

but you're not really giving great advice cause you are saying the key to winning in the NBA is getting good #'s.. the better advice would have been the key to winning in every sport is getting good #'s, not just NBA..

if you bet 1k a game and and you bet alot of games.. In just NBA alone, you will save over 100,000$ by just getting good #'s.. if that's not worth it for people to shop around, then i don't know what is.

now throw in college foots, college baskets, mlb and nfl and you will save another 300k there.. so that is 400,000$ in your pocket.. so instead of losing 200k a year betting regularly, you will win 200,000$ a year by betting good #'s..


that's how important it is to get an edge on every game. it's the difference between going broke and winning money..

thats why i put in the nba in brackets,

but its much easier to find a great line in the nba imo
as points are worth a lot more in basketball than in football for example

half point in the nba is usually worth about 8-10 cents ,
half point in football might only be worth 3 cents if the number falls on 15 or 16, etc and not on a key number

doesnt have to do anything with your post count , but i just had the feeling you sound a bit frustrated,
hence my conclusion

[BobHarvey]

How good were the linesmakers in the Houston/Portland game and the total on Cleveland and Boston? Amazing.

clippers were down by 11 1 minute before the end of the 4th quarter
and covered luckily.

The key to sportsbetting is just like Nickay said. Good numbers, that's why you need money in 6 books.... so you can shop around.

[bradthebloke]

couldnt agree more

[Nicky Santoro]

if you don't shop around, and you just bet games you like at any spread that's available, then you might as well just give your money to charity cause you are going to lose it at the end whether you want to believe this or not. it's FACT.

might as well give it to the Cancer Society. at least they can put good use to it.

[tripp]

it's important in every sport.

184.5 wasn't a great number either since it opened at 193.

[jjgold]

I am too lazy to shop around, I rather lose and collect 25% rebates at rebatewager

Most are going to lose no matter what so anyway no matter what strategy they try.

Totally agree jay. Thats why you have to hit them early when the over nights are out and buy points if and when they are needed. Got to hit the over night lines for the best numbers. Can't even play at a book who doesn't have over night lines...

[dmtrader]

I had the under 183.5 on that Celtics game, so Jayc's advice is painful to hear this morning.

I have accounts at a few books, and try to compare between them. Matchbook has the best lines around 80% of the time.

What books do you guys use? I can't open an account at Pinnacle because I am an American (and many of you quote lines from Pinnacle).

but i still make most of my bets at matchbook ,

[Chi_archie]

gotta get good numbers

Spot on

[Art Vandeleigh]

See this why I don't understand why more women aren't into sports betting it's all about shopping, right?

Jayc -

You mean getting banned for making $ and beating the books regularly?

[jjgold]

Getting good numbers does not mean your going to win, if it was that easy most would not work .

[jayc88]

Jayc - You mean getting banned for making $ and beating the books regularly?

yes
if you bet into their off-lines regurlarly, you will get banned eventually.

[dmtrader]

off-lines? I probably should already know this, but what are off-lines?

[Reload]

Very true - EVERY half point matters in the NBA!

[jayc88]

off-lines? I probably should already know this, but what are off-lines?

i don't know if you call it off lines or off market numbers, but
it means that pinny has a side at +7 and there is one book who is slow to move the lines and still has +8 for instance.

I will occasionally play a number with better expected value from what I can get at other books . Like in your example (play +8 when the rest are +7).

What about the alternate lines in Matchbook? I play those a lot. Do you think they will limit my account for doing that?

Thanks,

Doug

Terrible. They opened the Cavs Total at 193 at Pinny
