How many of us make money in the NBA?

phk david stern...he aint got nothing on me....the only problem wit us uniting is this bookies losing money....anytime these books can tell us to screw off cause they have more say...imagine if all us came together and took em down with out the debts...its the days of us..bookies dont win no more they will b hunted down bikers or gangbangers who ever the phk they are we bring em down

I agree Mikado. I see some poster have eriely the same picks and it makes me wonder. I started using covers just to keep track of my picks and share if anyone cares too look. I see fishy record keeping going on here too

Good luck the rest of the season

Great thread guys.  My one question is this:  Where can I find who the refs are for these games?  Is there a particular site?

I've been playing 3 - 5 NBA games a day this year(first year betting full time) and i'm up a total of about 3 - 5 units a week.  I never bet a game just to have action.  I look games over and do research.  Sometimes I see a spread and just pick it from the gut.  Main thing is I stay consistent and never veer away from my plan, which is to make money and never get too far into debt.  May sound simplistic but that's what I do.

the question is wat im draaaaaaaaaankn

the best way to make $$ in the nba is to take 1 or 2 picks max a night.. if your up 10,000 never ever ever ever throw all your eggs in the basket.. instead of making a daily figure your trying to reach... make a weekly figure your trying to reach. i havent worked in about 6 months and living strictly off betting(trust me i know its dumb) Never ever force a bet cuz you simply want action.. this will throw your whole mindset off and make you 2nd guess your picks. i myself try to hit for $1000 a day.. now if you can limit yourself to 7 plays a week, thats $7000 and $28,000 in 1 month. You get the idea.  It is definitely a marathon and not a sprint.

Mikado,

i am doing ok

the NBA is one of 3 sports that I make money in you just gotta look deep into the angles and avoid a square bait

...I hope everyone will click the link and use the calculator to their advantage, it will definitely help.

and to answer the question of the thread. I have hit 55% over 7 years, 1,000+ plays not including this season. Determine your advantage, reduce the vig, do everything you can to make more money that you can control.

mikado,

ive been gambling for a number of years now...and go to tell ya..in my opinion.. nba is one of the toughest to cap for alot of reasons.emotion...some take mights off, mysterious endings..etc...

a bookie told me once...nab stands for no bank account.....he honestly told me he loves taking bets from guys that bet nba. he kills them. that being said..i have found a cpl guys on here tha are worth there salt in capping: tin..i will say has a great hold on it and ive followed him religeously.

all the smack that is talked at him and about him...ha..he makes money....he can post any record he wants the only tally i want to see is positive bankroll or not. he gets it and does a fine job capping.he doesnt lay out the pick like lots but he is definitely not guessing..lol...

good luck to you..i am doi9ng well following the quality cappers on here.

Mikado,

First off there is never more than 2 or most 3 games a night that i feel strongly about. (Its usually 1 or 2) Second, I NEVER read what anyone says on any forum, I make all picks before looking at any sites. Third, I look at teams that should win SU then look at the spread and i stay away from high point spreads, I prefer to wager on teams +/- 4 or less. My preferred games are +/- 2 or less.  Take a moment to track your wins/losses depending on the point spreads and you will see a wide range of results on the higher point spread games, teams just dont show up on a consistent basis.  I am  capping games at a 53-54% clip(this is viewable under My Space I only point this out so you can see that I am not talking out of my ass), this is my first year consistently tracking my investments and I also utilize my own spreadsheet this way I can clearly see my results and adjust accordingly.  Its much easier to lose money if you are not tracking results, I find everytime i fill in my spreadsheet and there is a back to back loss my evaluation process is 10 times more focused.  Its human nature to drift from your plan once you start picking a few wins in a row.

not hijacking. I'll stop posting in here though. It's obvious that no one wants to talk about the intangibles to betting. What the bettor can do outside the game to turn more profit. That's fine, I tried.

like you i tend to stick with basketball / football 

making money on NBA can be done, with good money management and limiting your plays it can be done. 

Better than 1 wager a week. Most of the time I bet italian soccer which happens only weekends, be happy with nba ;)
