Anyone else agree..............how azz backwards the league is, how up n down teams are , ???????????/

For example flippin' Orlando beat the best squad (currently), Sat' in Lob city....then tonight get put on blast by the fn WIZ and lose by 29 pts!!!!!??????!!!!!!!!

NBA No Bank Account

No conisistency whatsoever and teams have been losing or winning with no ryhme or reason, very hard to figure out "what side the fix is on " Hate to say it, but it's almost impossible to rely on a team based on capping, records, trends, recent meetings, B2Bs, travel, etc, etc ,etc.......

Thoughts.........

I'm almost all college ball 'til baseball  is back!

When does Hockey start? ........GOTDAMN!

basketball is the hardest thing to bet on. IT's not always about who is the better team but sometimes is several different factors like schedule and motivation. That's why you see crap teams beat good teams. Crap teams are motivated to play good teams while good teams just coast and do not have motivation to play.

If you think about it how hard is it to play your best for all 82 games? same with you job or school. You don't always give 100% every time.

It's because you're playing with spreads, not only do you have to win, you have to win by a spread.  In essence it is a parlay in itself.  Spreads are not worth it.

In baseball and hockey you have the option of playing straight up at decent prices that won't kill your bank roll.  ML in football and basketball is not possible.

Don't know why people don't understand this.

I anticipated some BS responses and there we go!

my point is its inconsistent if you dis-agree you're a just another troll...........

Most off us are here to help each other vs THE BOOK, then there's a handful of negative clowns such as yourself that truly think there is some sort of competition between us. What do you gain for being antagonistic?

Really?

Oh wait REALLY! This is Covers......my bad lol!

you're right bro.......All these wins and losses are completely logical......

When I play NBA I look at matchups first and foremost, then other player statistics but never past book statistics.  I only play small (under $100) but it usually works for me.  For example the Magic against the Clippers.  Afflalo realized in the second half no one could guard him so he went off for 27.  There's no one on the clippers with the size and strength to match him plus the Clippers perimeter D isnt too good and Orlando loves the 3 ball so they caught up.  In addition Chris Paul loves to use the full 24 sec at the end of games so if they dont score or get the off. rebound the lead will eventually go down.  I would've taken Orlando at +10 or ML the Clips

Right now I would think NCCA bball is harder to win money, teams expected to make the tournament or bubble teams front load their schedules with small conference less talented teams. They have inflated winning records and stats then conference play happens and teams with 3 wins are beating 10 win teams.

Notre Dame is one of those teams. 14 wins so far but gonna have a hell of a time finishing out the year will 15 Big East games

It's NBA. Amazing Happens. It's not just looking at the teams.
for example

Orl beats Clippers which is the best at the west at the moment doesnt mean they will always win. The books know what they are doing so before they post lines they give out fishy or easy lines for you to bet on that looks like an EASY WIN. BUT NOT. Take a look at 

Miami and Uta game and Orl @ Was.

Learn to watch out for those games and do your research not just looking at the teams and who won. Now stop whining.

I actually googled how far it is from LA to Washington LOL, thats a lot of travel. WAS just beat OKC and ATL, ORL beat the Clips but only after losing the last 10 straight games. WAS coach was pushing them for a 3rd win, would also make it 3rd straight home win for WAS v orl, bit or extra motivation.

Thats basically how I saw it, looked into it more after thinking, why is WAS favourite? Parlayed WAS with UTAH +2.5 today! Seemed too easy.

I guess different ways of looking at things like trends and recent meetings b2bs and travel matters too.
