NBA Fixed games and their validity...

It happens a lot. Posters claiming a game is fixed. Threads pop up daily crying fix because they either think the game is fixed or because it's easier to justify their loss. I don't really think entire games are fixed, but you will notice some bias at certain parts of the games in this league, especially in the playoffs.

What I have always preached is that when you cry fix, it just means you haven't learned how to bet this league. You see, the oddsmakers with a built in vig have a 52% edge on you, you must find an edge to counter for yourself.

So instead of crying fix, I'm going to give ya a little info on my favorite NBA ref....

Tony Brothers.

Brothers has a clear road team bias and here are the numbers.

Road teams ATS in Brothers' games....

1. '11-'12 Season 12-9 ATS

2. '09-'10 (Last 2 Season) 92-48 ATS

3. '05-'10 (Last 6 Seasons) 249-172 ATS

Remember my 3u play on Philly last night....Tony Brothers officiated that game.

So don't cry fix, but Fix the way you're betting the game.

In those threads people always cry fix, and they always say how no one can make any money betting the NBA...

Well that simply isn't true 

Stay disciplined, and grow your bankroll

 Good Stuff.

Thanks for your time Smart.

For the record, this isn't a thread asking about advice. This is a thread about our best friend Tony Brothers.

Hey SB --

Ive been following for some time now, but just wanted to post and say thank you for your hard work and insight. Also, I know you mentioned you posted a thread on how to bet the NBA in the last few months. I tried finding it but was unable. You mind sending me to the correct link.

The reason why I said this isn't a thread about giving advice, was simply so it wouldn't turn this thread into an advice Q&A session.

It was simply to show the bias for one ref. Just wanted to point it out so others could put it in their capping pocket.

We all have opinions on the ways that we bet, for example, if I just flat bet all of my games, I would be nowhere near the amount of money that I have made this season.

But I understand why people who choose to flat bet, do so.

We could go on and on about our ideas, I just wanted to highlight the numbers for Tony Brothers, bring it to attention for those who wanted to use it.

Smart whats ur take on the superbowl??

Well that's what I get for trying to help.

Whether it's posting my plays or bringing to attention schedule spots, ref's etc...

When you help others, it's just assumed here you are going tout.

That's 3 accusations today of going tout.

Sad.
