Two things everyone need to know about the NBA

1. whenever the total are 224 or more its turn out to be under most of the time..
2. whenever a team that give a spread of 14 or more points its turn out the dawg will cover most of the time.....

Sorry but i don't have the exact number of calculation but its something i have been observed alot as of late. Thought i want to share my opinion with the forum.

Are you kidding me? There are thousands of games each year let alone years of history and you are going to throw out what you have observed lately with no factual data?

GL man but do you really think this is useful?....answer honestly.....would you blindly play any dog at 14 or better or any under at 224 or better?....for no other reason besides this what you have noticed lately?

PEACE

Agree also with the spread theory - garbage time - desperate 3's etc

Case in point New Orleans last night. I will start tracking as of today. does anyone know where I can get lines from the previous games. It will be interesting to get some hard data.

True or not true...that is the question?

One would have to go thru and do the research but one thing is always true and most of these +14 or Under 224 plays...............they would all be hard to stomach and pull the trigger, especially the +14.

Remember the old bettor's adage...."IF YOU CAN"T HARDLY STOMACH TO MAKE THE PLAY, IT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT PLAY".

If a team is getting 14 points it's more than likey they are a bad team playing a good team. How the heckcan you play such a bad team? I usually pass over those game, why....because I just can't pull the trigger on a bad team.
Maybe I should try playing +14 for a while, can't hurt.....just been treading water here for a couple months.

+14 or more in the NFl is a good play as well.....except for the 1st half of the season betting against NE this last year.

Probably like anything else that requires playing all of some system or scheme....... If you played every game that is +14 in the NBA the juice would eventually get you and you wouldn't be able to make any serious money.

Just my input, not that it matters or means alot to anyone else.

Not every team has a killer instinct.....be it pros or college.

A lot of good teams "play down" to their inferior opponents.
