    NBA hardly seems worth betting on
    I've been killing football this year, but since my hometown team got hijacked to OKC, I just don't care about this league anymore, thus have no clue how to cap it. I know some find edges early in the season, that some lines are off, but the product is SO bad, and refs have SO MUCH influence, that unless I have an inside opinion (Donaghy made me a boatload during the finals last year), I just DON'T CARE. How the F do you cap this horrible sport?

      Haha LOL JJ. I've actually finally learned discipline somehow this fall after a rollercoaster baseball season. I dig the college hoops, but yea, there's just no finding a great value in 10 convict jump up that you really feel like you can sink your teeth into with a good sized play.

        Yeah I've been been doing horribly in the NBA so far. I really should have waited until a few weeks into the season but who has the patience for that?

            I second this.
            Vito, I once or twice during the baseball season saw we were on the same side, so increased my plays.
            I`ll see if I can`t track you down or post a winner for you in return. Peace, GL.

                  Every year I kill the beginning of the NBA. This year with all the big dudes moving around and the garbage rosters, it's hard to get a feel. Just have to wait until everything settles. Not a good start so far

                                  Yeah I like picking a side at the start then trying to middle it at half.

                                  Anyone like Phoenix tonight?

                                    the clippers play in the nba, that is how. they also play 82 games against other teams which gives 82 games to make money.

                                      See right there, OKC -8.5 feels safe, but it seems like you can win that bet for 3.5 quarters just to have the scrubs F you over at the end of the game. Slight home favorites / dogs like Phoenix tonight intrigue me. Spurs have been overrated for years, no?

                                            nba is very situational and matchup driven. there are good scheduling spots to really capitalize on during the season. like anything else you have to grind it out and never chase when you are losing.

                                                    Come on Guys, NBA is not so hard if you focus on Totals..

                                                    ..but side betting can be tough sometimes..

                                                      Here is my advice. Bet these teams on ML every time. Heat, Magic, Celtics, Hawks, Lakers.

                                                      Thank me later.

                                                        Not a great deal of value in those MLs. Especially the Heat and Lakers.

                                                          I like bet 2nd half NBA. I find there is a lot of edges if you get the lines early.

                                                            NBA has been very kind lately the top 4 teams have covered about 80% of the time. what else do you need?

                                                              I did okay last season but I didn't start playing till after January and football was over. Early season NBA is just too helter skelter for me.

At most I'll play 3 games in a day but for the most part I limit myslelf to 1 or 2 games on the days I do play. The key is to not play everyday just for the action, just pick your spots all you'l do OK. Could have went 4-0 yesterday but I laid off the Clip Join.
