Lrrr Playing The NBA Board Everyday 2008-2009 Season
- Thread starter Lrrr
- Start date
You usually want to only bet certain games. That is your one advantage over the books. They have to play every game, but you have the advantage of not playing a game.
Some bookies though will give new betters a free point on every bet, whatever their bet, if they bet every game. For most people, this just means they lose money faster. A good capper can win a lot, though.
Not sure why he is playing every game, but that could be a reason. Most cappers would agree that most lines are very tight and a given player will only see value in a couple lines per day, and sometimes none.

Made a mistake on the post with my wagers; I took Cleveland at 8.5.
I think you should just play bets you're pretty sure of. I'm just playing the board cause I felt like it and had scratch money. I play games for larger amounts on another book, and I'm pretty heftily up on that one by just playing bets I'm confident with (and I lost my only wager today on that one, thank you NJ). Playing the board everyday just seems more luck based, but it seems, for me at least, gives you some leeway in case of upsets. And, hell, I'm a gambler.

don't apologize to chives like us man, you're doing great. i had minnesota pegged too, except i got bit by the hook and didn't push.
i noticed you've been riding the, "milwaukee away" streak, you think it's over now? i know i like them at home tomorrow already +7 and that should go up with the attention cleveland's been warranting lately. and while their recent play does scare me a bit on this play, one of these cash cows has to end and cleveland is going to be a LOT more public...

I think Milwaukee's always a good team to play against the spread; it's like their whole goal is to beat a spread without caring to win. Their streak wasn't lucky at all even though they were always beating the spread at the buzzer. Cleveland isn't that great of a road team, and at -7 at Milwaukee the line seems perfect. It's a 70-30 to me, blowout by Cleveland or Milwaukee winning by 3 or so. I'm probably playing Milwaukee just because they were my NBA jam team back in the 95.
while i admit, it's hard to fuck with the big dog-todd day connection, all i have to say is harold miner and the immortal glen rice. sorry if just saying those names makes you have nightmares.
on the milwaukee thing though, you're right, they really just dont care about winning or at least it seems that way. im gonna see which way the line moves by morning before i play the side(which i'll probably do 2-1 side vs mil ml.) i grabbed a solid chunk of over 194 already. i think that'll hit 196ish by gametime. and if the spread doesn't get to -9ish, something's goofy. cle should get HAMMERED. like the t.e. glen rice hammering three after three after three.
