Ok basketball is the most dangerous (and stupid) sport for betting. I am trying to cap this f*cking sport for some years now and its just a failure. Yeah maybe you can have your good moments but there is NO WAY to hit winners at a common rate like football, baseball and hockey. Let?s face it. It?s just a matter of luck. 6 Out of 10 times you?ll lose cause of a hook or a free through or a bad choice? etc and 9 Out of 10 times the first three quarters just don?t matter. Everything comes down to the final 3-5 minutes. Basketball is just a joke. I?m done with this sport. Next time I?ll want to take something from basketball, I?ll just hit the casinos for some blackjack. The odds to come out winner are definitely bigger than wagering on basketball.
Basketball is just a joke!!!

I hear ya there........What was up with the Sun trailing by 8 with 1:00 to go and keep fouling, had 13 points to play with on the under with 1:40 to play and got a push 
It is true that no game is decided until last 3 minutes. It is a streaky sport for sure. But I'll take it over Baseball anyday.

what??
I think baseball's easier to cap than NBA according to my tracked record here for the last 3 years.....
In baseball, yes, i agree bullpens blow lots of wagers and so do boneheaded managerial decisions...but IMHO I believe it is more STABLE then the NBA where any team can beat another on a given nite and blow your ATS wager....
Nba, in my third season, i'm just getting a feel for it....and i still believe i can make a comeback if i keep with my NBA slapnutz system plays.
gl to all.
NBA does suck!! You have all these lazy ass millionaire mofk'ers who never ever play any sort of D whatsoever. With the exception of 2-3 teams, no one plays with any fundamentals or pride. Totally reminds me of Streetball on ESPN w/ Hot Sauce, Skip to my Lue and shit like that. It is a pathetic league who puts out a horrible product. I am so glad its TV ratings are at an all time low. It is true, the only time its worth a shit is during the last 3 minutes or maybe the playoffs. I wish these bastards did play hard every night w/ that killer instict (it's your fuking job) but no, it's all about the individual player- let me isolate the defender on the wing and everybody get out of the way. IT SUCKS! I feel much better now. GL2A
I had the same thing happen in the PHX/PORT game. I thought it was a lock and all of a sudden I see it's about to go over. Thankfully I got a push as well.

agreed....but who doens't like a bit of AND1 and the streetball crew...??
where's the professor???? LOL!!
I have to agree..............I am finding it more dificult every year to sit down and watch the NBA games like I can for, let's say football. I consider most NBA players to be overpaid, me first clowns. Coach tells them there is no "I" in the word team.................and they just reply"Coach, there's no "I" in the word "me" either. Defense?..........Not until they realize they are down 10 with 3 min. to play.
Orlando has made only seven baskets in almost 20 minutes of play.... How can you cap idiotic shot selection?
Sometimes you just got to say screw it.
NBA is easier to cap in the first month, but after the first of the year is gets insane - no one is motivated with any consistency - until the teams get a feel for playoff positioning and then you can pick spots and make a good amount of $$
We are heading into a weird time..... good luck to all
