    Does anyone else do this?

    There is one team in the NBA that I should NEVER bet on. One problem is that I always find them in intriguing matchups and the other problem is that they NEVER do what I think they will.

    That team is the Detroit Pistons.

    They are my nemesis. I should never bet for or against them and I should never touch a total of theirs. They aren't just inconsistent, they are WILDY up and down.

    My issue is that I seem to always end up with a wager that involves these bums.

    Looks like you're overreacting to a run by the Raptors to go up by 10 in the second quarter. Relax donuts.

    Lol, no....it's just the way it is. I swear, I take them +8 on the road in a great spot and they lose by 35, take them at home as a flip and they lose by 10, over 210 and they score 73, under 215 and they put up 131.

    They make ale no sense to me, not at all. And I am actually in Raps and under today.

    I have Toronto -6.5. They look good but this one has the feel of one of those games where Detroit hangs around and if they hang around long enough, we're in trouble.

    Just like I figured, Raptors letting them hang around. Annoying.

    Like I said, I should never bet any games with Detroit in them

    9:30 to go I had a 53.5 point cushion on the under and the Raps were up 16 (I have them -6.5). Both looked like veritable locks, especially the under.

    I am sokehow foing to get fukked on both. Ish Smith, eat my azz.

    I bet against the Raptors at least like 5 times earlier this season and in each of those games, they went on ridiculous runs to go from trailing by 10 or more to winning and covering at least a 5 or 6 point spread. I hate that fukking team so much.

    Like I said when I first posted. I can win when the Pistons are involved.

    It is predetermined.

    Whats with TO this year? Or at least this last month? They should be embarrassed.

    Anything with Pistons in it... probably a good idea to take the Over.

    Defense sucks.

    And when the offense is on... it typically hits.

    The Pistons allow the fourth least amount of points in the NBA this year.

    Good post. I didn't know that. Is there a site that shows O/U for the entire year on the Pistons? overall and Home/Away?

    Seems like at The Palace... it always goes Over.

    You could make some good money on Pistons last year. So I knew oddmakers wouldnt be giving away anything cheap this year so I watched them and hit them up this year until there was a game about 2 and a half months ago and hey were at home and got blew out by like 20 or 30, I listened to the post game interviews of the players, they all pretty much said the same thing and were kinda smiling while saying it lol. Seeing that coupled with the return of Jackson whom I actually like to watch play but doesnt think he plays the right way has made me not place a bet on them since that day. I think some teams just arnt gonna go all out in the East because they know it doesnt take much to make the playoffs, if youre .500 in the East you can be a playoff team.
