A few weeks ago, I posted about the Grizzlies, and how i like to bet them at home, giving points, and after they got a big lead, take the opponent and catch the middle. Here's the link:

Friday, I middled the Grizzlies full game, and the 1st half line! That's the 1st time I tried to win both sides on the 1st half bet too. See the screenshots below.
Original bets: +$500
1st bet Grizzlies full game -10.5
2nd bet Grizzlies -6.5 1st half
1st Half Middles: +$122.12
3rd bet Detroit +14.5 first half (8 point middle range)
4th bet Detroit +8.5 1st half (2 point middle range)
Full Game Middles: +$228.60
5th bet Detroit +15.5 full game (5 point middle range
6th bet Detroit +18.5 full game (8 point middle range)
7th bet Detroit +18.5 full game. (8 point middle range)
These secondary bets are smaller, because I often get an better line later. The later in the game you make the middle attempts, the easier they are to hit. This is because their isn't as much time for something to go wrong.
I won all 7 bets! I made a profit of $850, with a maximum risk of $550, the amount of the initial two bets.
Memphis had a big lead in the 1st half, but gave part of it back and by 8 points at the half. In the 2nd half, Memphis once again began to pull away again, only to give some back, just barely covering the -10.5 points, and easily covering the middle attempts. Last season they did this so many times. They get huge leads, but they give it back - sometimes too much and the original bet loses.
Now, I don't want it to seem that I'm boasting so I'll show my losing bets here too.
