NBA Bettors, I Need Some Help

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Any reason why the Cavs are only -2 at home vs the Rockets tonight? Neither team is on a back to back. From my own simple formula for NBA odds, the line should be around -9 to -10. shyt doesn't make much sense. It has to be something that I'm missing. I RARELY bet. Maybe 3-5 times a year. Every blue moon the odds makers will fukk up and I will jump on that shyt. But something gotta be up with this shyt

Edit: Nevermind. It looks as if the reason is that LeBron is sitting out for rest. Thought I had a lick

Just fade the Bulls rest of the season they stink vs spread

I'd play the Under 212 in that Rockets/Cavs though

 

[who_better_than_me]

[Absolut]

seriously. betting 101 is looking at the injury reports

 

[Saint1]

I'd take the Wiz Kids. That games a trap.

 

[the cool]

Try looking at the injury report before you bet breh.


Lebron is out tonight

To everyone saying to read the injury report, I edited the OP to show that I figured out the reason was Lebron resting before anyone even responded. Also, they listed LBJ as a key player in the preview, so it initially didn't cross my mind that he may be sitting out.

Are you playing the under 212 @SparkMcGwire

Are you playing the under 212 @SparkMcGwire

No, I'm not gonna bet. I'm really not a gambler, more of an opportunist. I've never made more than 5 bets in a year. Plus, I never bet on over and under, just the spread, and I only bet on NBA when I do.

I have a simple formula for the spread on NBA games. I just take the point differential and adjust 3 points for home court advantage. I know that Vegas factors in way more things. But 99% of the time, the number I come up with is within 2 points or so. I only bet if the numbers are way off in my favor, by 6 points or more. It happens, but rarely. And I've only lost twice out of like 15 bets. But that has been over about a 4 year span.

The point diff for Houston is -.09 and the point diff for Cleveland is 6.1 That would put Cleveland as 7 point favorites. Add in 3 more points for them playing at home and I had them being favored by 10. They are favored by 2. This is the only type of bet I ever make. Of course, I couldn't make this one because LBJ being out justifies the spread.

[Hammer]

betting is nearly impossible, don't do it you'll lose all ur money

 

[Miggs]

If ur a real opportunist you wouldn't be laying bets in the last 10 games of the season on teams that are resting players...that's not a good opportunity friend...
