Question How do you bet NBA?

For years I either played a side or a total. I kept my head above water this way averaging around 50%. Wasn't making any money. The last two years I have played almost strictly the 1st or 2nd half. I still kick a few totals around. I've been able to bang 60% with my current mix.

How do you guys play an NBA season? More totals than sides? Sides than totals? Halfs? Quarters? Whats worked for you?

Last year especially I bet 1st halfs....80% of the time. The games seemed to stay closer in score at the half.

I usually pick sides and end up with less money than when the game started.

I'm bad at NBA. I'll stick with Jay Edgar's system if he posts this season.

you guys every heard of the NBA system where you look for the Western conference team who has a 3-4 road trips on their schedule against the Eastern Conf. team and bet on that team to win a least one of their 3-4 road game? Or the Baseball one where you look for a team that has been sweep and then look down the schedule to see when the same team meets again and you bet on the team that got sweep, and I guess you bet that they will win one of those 3 games. But it's a progression betting system. Anyone heard of it? Does it work?

I do mostly 2nd half totals, and a few 2nd half sides on big pre-game home favs, losing by an indecent margin at halftime.

It's so sweet. Bring on the NBA.

I take sides all the time. It was very profitable for me last season. Tried betting totals a few times and i hated it. So..
Sides all the way..

Mostly sides, with a total mixed in here and there. I just try to find the best value in a line.

I'm going hardcore NBA this year. Plan on watching as much hoops as is humanly possible.

Anyone know how good League Pass is? What percentage of the games does it cover? I'm sure I could look it up but I'm lazy as hell.

this is true for NFL this year as well. my 1st and 2nd half bets has way higher winning % than game bets.

1st and 2nd half in nfl and nba seems like two complete different games imo.

Hey guys, I am new to this, I was wondering what betting sides is? I was also wondering, when you bet a quarter or half if, you bet total points or are there lines on the segments of the game?
