How can a team go from total control to missing almost every single shot? Was up 15 midway through 1st, now down with 5..

How long have you been betting NBA?
MEM/NOH (yesterday)
SAC/CHI (about a month ago, CHI were up by more than 30 at HT)
BOS/ORL
I hear you mate, but no win is an easy win.

You answered your own question, it's the Knicks, plus no one can hold a lead in the NBA. Boston was up 11 today also.

Knicks is the only team that can give up 5 points in 19 seconds....(yeah I know there are some teams that do it, but Knicks constantly blows it)

All 2nd & 3rd tier teams in the NBA can "pull" something like that.

the same shit is happening to me again and again and again. every time every time now. if scores stay similar, my NBA system would have gone 8-1. but no, i force myself to only play one game per day, and of course the one game i pick is the 1 that loses the fukking knicks.
every fukking night i have to go to bed laughing like a maniac because i know the odds are with me, that this can't keep up, but this is the 7th time this has happened this year already where i pick the ONE FUKKING ONE GAME THAT LOSES. EVERY FUKKING TIME!
and my instadebit account is blocked so i can't even redeposit, it's all over for me just because of this FUKKING BULLshit. i fukking HATE EVERYONE!

What's the deal Masu54?
Send me the system.
I'll play each pick for 1u for 2 months. Everyday.
Will ship it back to you with the results.
Come on Masu..NEVER SAY NO TO THE SYSTEM.

it's not really that kind of system, i run each game of the day through and it will give me the estimated line and i just compare. so i could theoretically play every single game, but i just pick the ONE with the biggest difference. and today and many other times THat ONE loses, but the rest win. it's very very frustrating.

Hey Masu, think about it.
Books are sharp right? they are right?
Sometimes a (-1) favourite loses by 14 or wins by 30, and sometimes a (+14) dog gives a fight and maybe even wins SU. And those are the BOOKIES.
Same goes for your system - it gives you plays. If it's hitting a nice % of the time for the plays given, you should use it. End of story mate.
Best of Luck!

Diamond this is coming from a very realistic or maybe a slight-pessimist. Am I not right?

You are right, but call me realistic. The only reason I seemed like a bit pessimistic, is because I enjoy being a bit sarcastic sometimes I already forgotten the Knicks game. And to be honest, I didnt bet on it, just observed. Being an European im more into soccer/tennis to be honest.

I believe there was a misunderstanding here. I was talking about myself as I don't claim to read people's mind through their words. by "Am I Right?" - I was referring to my original post, which apparently you understood and liked better
Cheers mate!

i have absolute trust in my system. believe me, if i played every nhl, nba, nfl, ncaaf, ncaab game each day, i'd be hitting 55-60 percent. i'm even developing it for soccer also.
as i said before, the main problem is that i don't want to be playing 100 games per day, and just trust that since it's hitting at 55-60%, the odds are in my favour that the game i pick would be a winner. so far, my luck has just been terrible regarding this. it's like having a 1 in 10 chance of picking a box filled with snakes when there's 9 other boxes filled with money. when you pick the box with snakes over and over and over again, it gets very very frustrating.
tonight, it upset me so much that i wished more boxes were filled with snakes otherwise i'd just go crazy.
