You realize you lost 37% of your stakes when you accepted 1.63 - when people like you accept these bets they turn gambling into a sucker's game, seriously ... how could you accept 1.63? That's just terrible ... even if it won - betting on low odds like this will annihilate your bankroll/deposits sooner than later ...

When you bet over/under you need to take 1.90 minimum, if not more ... and if you bookie doesn't have it - look for another one who does.


Do you mean there would have been a bookie that'd have offered that same over 310.5 ?!  As far as I can tell, as at the time I placed the bet that what was the the best I could get, I did check a couple of websites.

The only way to profit "long term" is either - not to gamble at all - or - take only EVEN odds or 1.90 minimum, otherwise the bankroll is destined to get wiped out.


I guess you're probably not as knowledgeable as I think or we just seem to have different perspectives about odds, why are the Odds there ? Isn't it about the likelihood of event to occurr ?!
You mean I'd have to take Odds of 1.9 or always regardless of my view about the outcome of an event simply because of my Bankroll ? Maybe I'm indeed terrible but I'd rather keep going for Odds of ~ 1.40 - ~ 1.70 when I think I have a relatively high chance of winning rather than taking higher odds with no chance I could win.

I think you are overreacting here. The Spread for even odds(1.91x) was 315 points. He is betting at lower odds to have a better chance to win the bet. First know what the spread is before reacting to the odds. The game ended with 342 points, so an easy win.

The opening odds were 311, not 315.
I did look at the numbers many hours before it even started.
So I do know what the spread was, and just letting him know, regardless of what he bets on - it's better to get higher odds than risk it like this, especially in the NBA where teasers are mainly losers' bets.

Wow, these are terrible, but simply terrible odds!

Good point mate, if you can choose an odds of at least 2, you just need to maintain of at least 51% winning rate in order to be profitable in sports.

It's achievable only provided that you are using a fixed amount in betting, thus, bankroll management plays a vital rule for this to succeed.

Good luck on your pick tonight mate, hoping you'll win them all.
You are good in quarter betting so I guess you will once again nail this one.
I'm gonna be watching this game and maybe I'll try to bet a little amount, just for fun.

Team Lebron here but I'm tempted to put on Giannis with the point spread, anyway good luck again.

Thanks bud,
Not so good this time, I think, Lol. I could only win one the 4 bets, Team LeBron fell asleep in the first quarter but went ahead to win every other single quarter  Shocked
I just couldn't wait for the the all stars games to be over with already Smiley
The first q and the first half bet loss due to a slow performance of Team Lebron.
They were able to come back in the 3rd quarter and it was easy for them to do it, though Lebron was not shooting well but Durant, Klay, and Lillard
all made a great contribution to win the game, better luck next time mate, will be back to the reality soon.

Hey guys, I hope y'all are doing well and OP his taking his time off to come back after the All Stars Games with a bang!

I'm not a fan of over or under betting as far as the NBA is concerned, I prefer money line or point spread per quarter bet to over or under bets, I'll try my lock today in the Team Lebron vs Team Giannis match today,
I'll be going for 4 bets in total..

Team LeBron - 1 in first quarter @ 1.83
1st Quarter total points - Under 80 @ 1.87

Team LeBron - 2.5 in 1st Half @ 1.87
Total points - Over 310.5 @ 1.63

Don't miss to ride, OP started his winning streak and with this all star break, he has a lot of time to cap games so I'm
expecting that the next pick will also be a winner. Congratulations to those who did not miss the last 2 picks, you are currently in profit right now.

Enjoy your break.

Record updated, check the OP -  current winning rate is 66.66%



Tomorrow's game  Magic -3 vs  Hornets +3

On the 3 games available tomorrow, I'm choosing this one because I feel it's the easiest among the 3.
Magic has been playing really good in the last 4 games, winning in double digit win, they are perfect in their 3 road games  and I think
they can do better now since they are playing at their home. If they can continue their dominating performance, it should be an easy double digit win.


Pick - Magic -3


Wonderful call mate too bad I hadnt seen this play earlier.
Going forward I will be checking this here thread a least 1 hour before the tip off.

Who's with me on Team Lebron ? I'm definitely in,  Even though I hate to play against Curry  Sad
Not sure about playing against curry thing buds? If you are going to favor LeBron's team surely it will cater curry too, as both of then are playing from the West side, if I get right we are in the same side as I also favoring the west to win the all star, Team LeBron  is way to heavy for the east.

Well we don't know what will happen All Star game is a no bearing game, they will just play to have some fun and give entertainment to the fans but there's no real competition between.

Pick - Magic -3

I'm not capping in all star games but you are free to discuss it here your picks, we can do it for fun, it's hard to cap
in non bearing games as we cannot find an easy advantage.

Very nice, unfortunately, wasn't able to tail  Sad. But it's totally my fault. Anyways, its another big win for everybody so I'm happy with the outcome. I'll just enjoy the all star game though, not going to bet and I will just watch and have fun.  Grin

Close to 70% and It's half of the month already, We indeed are still on fire this month, I'd say! Congratulations to everyone who tailed, I don't think I'll be betting on the all star games either, But temptation with the some odds could set in, So I'll not totally write it off.
Thanks for the amazing thread! And to Everyone contributing to their views to keep this thread alive, Thanks to y'all too!

Congrats once more buds,.

I agree with that, capping with a none bearing game would be a tough call, we can discuss and share our own opinions and try to sort it out,
will be for the readers which is which they've think who have the advantages, anyway we do have our favorites and the star combinations also
will affect the tempo of the game.

Will be going for the West for now, the backup players is more stronger than the east, though starters are there to compete but the rotations
for sure will be favoring the West, just for my own scent though.

Last day before the All star match.
I reckon the home field teams will take advantage of this situation.
ORL -4 or ATL-8 which is a better pick?   Want some nBA action before the day is over

Orlando -4 is a better pick, lol.
They are up now by 19 points so I think it's another big win.

I hope you were able to bet on the Magic, they did some kind of magic tonight.

Pick - Magic -3


Nice pick, I just hope history doesn't repeat itself or have an influence on this game, Because Hornets have won each of the last five games between these teams. Although, the team might have change but I just think some times past history does have psychological effects on any game.

I'm definitely tailing this anyways!


My pick will also go on Magic -1 in the first quarter currently valued @ 1.96, Hornets have lost 3 times in the first quarter of their last 4 games, and I think Magic will want to make their statement on the match early enough.

PS:  Please if you're gonna tail this, gamble responsibly.


Good luck to everyone!
