Any NBA bettors out there? I'm gonna experiment with some bets here over the next month. Lets just say all bets are hypothetical. My pics for 10/30, one spread three money lines. Brooklyn +14 at San Antonio. I'm not a Spurs regular season believer and that's just such a huge line I'll take the points. $500 bet to win $476 Miami +210 at Cleveland. No Irving, Miami is healthy and I think these are close to pick em teams in the regular season with a more healthy Heat team. I give the slight edge to Cleveland. Should be a much closer spread. $500 to win $1,050 Minnesota +165 at Denver. I see this as basically a pick'em. I like the Minny roster more than Denver but its on the road. $500 to win $825 Portland +165 at Phoenix. Think we shouldn't be much if any of an underdog. I predicted Phoenix to win in the prediction thread but I'll go with the money line for us here so I'm right either way $500 to win $825
I have a bet out to anyone who will take it, but take it soon. $100. The Blazers will win at least 20 games by the All Star break. Even if there are major injuries. We're deep. PM by the end of the week if you want to take the bet.
11/1 NFL bets. First, bet 2 team NFL teaser. Teasers let you push the line 6 points but both teams must cover for you to win. I sometimes bet these if there are strong favorites with a line just over a touchdown. Atlanta -1 at home over Tampa Bay St Louis -2 at home over San Fran Bet $1,200 to win $1,000 Bet on Seattle -4.5 at Dallas. A somewhat desperate Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and Hawks defense against an injured Cowboys team that lost 4 straight? Big market glamour teams often have dead money sitting there available to be bet against. That's the case here; should be a larger spread. Bet $1100 to win $1000.
I've got the Blazers winning outright tonight. I also like Boston at home against Toronto, where they have won 21 0f the last 25 vs. the Raps. I think those are the only 2 games I'm gonna touch tonight. Good luck!
10/30 net losses of $675 on $2000 of bets. 10/31 Bet on Golden State -4.5 at New Orleans Pelicans. This Pelicans team is decimated with injuries against one of if not the best team in the NBA. The line should be closer to 10 points in my estimation, not the 5 I need to cover. I'll take Golden State. $1100 bet to win $1000
I was thinking the same thing about the Golden St. game. Gonna lay some $$ on that one for sure. And probably the Blazers -3 at home! The rest of my action today is college football.
Yeah couldn't believe the GS line. I think analysts are looking at New Orleans as a near 50 win playoff team with an improving MVP candidate, they haven't updated projections for the litany of injuries and scrubs that team has playing. I didn't see any college I liked. I rarely bet football unless I really like the odds. Stick to what I'm an expert in. After last night I thought Blazers game should be a pick em or we get a couple points. Since we're a favorite I'd bet Phoenix and get those points if I was forced to pick one. The big advantage of home teams is rest and travel; we have neither of those tonight. If I bet Phoenix could win the bet and Blazers win by a point as I posted in predictions thread! But its close enough line to where I think it should be I'm staying away.
Wouldn't that be a loss of 1175? Or am I completely missing something. Apologize if so. Spent 2000, won the Minny game for 825?
Apparently we're not the only ones, the line on Golden St. is already up to -6. I took Florida -2 today and Washington St. plus the points. I don't bet much college football either, mostly stick to NBA, NFL and MLB. Still haven't bet on the Blazers yet, as I try not to bet with my heart, but we'll see. Still got a few hours to think about it!
For winning I got my Minny bet back of $500. So lost $1500 of bets won $875. Before the games I had $2000 at risk.
10/31 profited $1000 from GS game on $1100 bet Total profit is $325 11/1 Atlanta to win -1 at Charlotte. The Hawks are clearly a superior team in my opinion and should be a larger favorite. Charlotte is still developing their new offense and a mess on defense without MKG. Bet $1100 to win $1000 11/1 Dallas to win -2.5 at LA Lakers. This Lakers team is a disaster, they might be the second worst NBA team after the 76ers. If they get down big they will give up and complain among themselves. Any NBA team can win on any night but if this game was played 100 times I expect Dallas to win by more than 2 the vast majority of those times. Bet $1100 to win $1000 $100 bet on 7 team parlay. All the favorites to cover except Hou with points and Mil to win. Win $16k.
Cant recommend any. They're either questionable legally, hard to move money in/out, or just overall crappy. When I quit the day job and make millions betting I'll move to Vegas. Yeah plus Pats were missing multiple lineman and Thursday night games are notoriously fickle. Thought about teasing that game but just wasn't sure.
