    Correct, an amazing trend..I don't think I've ever witnessed such a strong run by favorites in ANY sport.

    My apologies, was out of the country at the beginning of the playoffs. Was seeing these tweets from handicapper Marc Lawrence on twitter:

    @MarcLawrence: The SU winners in the first 16 NBA playoffs games are now 16-0 ATS.
    |
    |
    Make that 19-0 ATS for the first 19 SU winners in this year's NBA playoffs.  Where's the parity?  It may be time to re-examine bringing back best-of-fives in the opening round. #19-0AgainstTheSpread

    Extremely. Not going to burn any more of it. Let’s sit back and watch the first round for a bit. Haven’t been able to find that rhythm we’ve been looking for

    I think there's a big difference between top 4 teams and bottom 4 teams this year, the only series I thought was a coin flip was the Blazers - Thunder, and Portland has dominated. We should have closer games next round.

    I think there's a big difference between top 4 teams and bottom 4 teams this year, the only series I thought was a coin flip was the Blazers - Thunder, and Portland has dominated. We should have closer games next round.

    Been riding the chalk 1st Qtr. 1st HF and Full Game. Especially Warriors and Bucks.

    Here's a trend you guys may want to know: applies to OKC, Indiana, Utah and Detroit, but I'd be weary on riding it w/Utah and Detroit since their opponents seem to be stronger

    Can NBA Playoffs bettors still trust the greatest trend in sports betting history?

    https://www.covers.com/Editorial/Article/35a1efcf-5fb6-11e9-a984-125516351e3a/Can-NBA-Playoffs-bettors-still-trust-the-greatest-trend-in-sports-betting-history

    "The trend, plain and simple: bet on an NBA playoff team’s first-half pointspread in Game 3 if they’re down 0-2 in the series.

    That basic system produced a 5-5 against the spread record during the 2018 NBA Playoffs, however, it is 69-37-7 ATS since 2007 – covering at an incredible 65 percent clip. It went 9-0 ATS in 2015, 10-0 ATS in 2016, and finished 9-3 ATS in 2017. That’s a 33-8 ATS run over the past four postseasons (80.49%)."

    Interesting read, unfortunately seems that the odds makers are catching on. Pacers are -3 full game and my book has 1st half -3. OKC -7.5 full game and -6 1st half. Seems high, but numbers dont lie

    Yeah, books have caught on, but I checked out some of the Game 3 #'s from last year and the teams that covered did so by wide margins at the end of the 1st half.

    Little cold streak is inevitable.  I’m sure you’ll heat back up here shortly.

    Anyway the meaning of this post is to give a huge thank you to you LC, you stuffed my pockets this year, and for an average guy like myself it's truly appreciated.  You're a class act and I wish you the best in the rest of the playoffs!
