The only question is, will they cover the spread throughout the year?

If the Lakers keep covering the spread, the linemakers are going to start taking more points away from Lakers.

So, will they let Lakers cover the spread throughout the year???

I think you need stop playing this system towards the end of the year. Lake show will have the division wrapped up 2 months before the seasons over. They might get sloppy during that time  and  will for sure be resting starters. Just something to kick around.

I will keep my eye on this thread.GL

PPF...Nice hit....

Makes me more confidant when they cover the double digits....we are 3-2 ATS and riding the $$$$ train...Investing in a solid venture is key IMO...

Well with all due respect, why even bother to throw out a bone like that without backing it up. I mean, you have less than 20 post, just signed up for your covers account and haven’t really contributed to this site. This site is here for us the betting public to sharpen our skills as each bettor has the desire to learn how to beat the Books and make money. Yes there are many ways to make money wagering and I think that if they Lakers continue with a very solid ATS record, you will make a profit. You have every right to want to keep your system to yourself and I can respect that. BOL

I'm pretty sure there are cappers out there that hit 80%+
 
only betting on the obscure shit... european soccer games, players props, tennis matches that are fixed and so on... if you are trying to make a lot of money sports betting, betting the lakers point spreads is not the way to do it... what, you think youre the only genius to think of betting the lakers? I will be very suprised if you profit from riding the lakers all year, most likely you will go broke... the best cappers will only play 5 bets a week max with multiple 1000s on each bet  and they wil consistently hit 4 of them... but for the average joe.... you probably wont be able to limit yourself to 5 locks per week
