honestly., being able to buy points at that rate is a dying breed. but my guess is your using the JM system. I would not always follow it cmdyrds. eventually it will cost you severely because it is simply a chase system. sure you can go to the greek or bet phoneix, but you ll get odds worse that -200 usually. thats about it. keep in mind if you abuse it at BetJamaica they will ban you from buying 3 points. my recommendation, learn how to handicap and win apporpriately using better odds in the nba rather than using the scam man JM

[cmdyrds]

anyone else want have any advice?

[dwaechte]

Don't use JM, please.

[cmdyrds]

why?

[crinkle]

buying three points in the NBA is pretty damn stupid. why on earth is that a good way to play those games? -170. Way too hard to win at those prices.

absolutely not true.

how many people you know make money laying -170? I'm talking making money on all the times you lay -170? Almost impossible to beat the house laying that price. If you hit 63% of your bets at that price you don't make a red cent. 63-37 = not profit. You have to win 67% of the time to make a lousy $900. (that's based on every bet laying $170 to make $100. So if you're a so called genius and you pull this off you're still not making much unless your wagering a ton of money. Trust me the house loves taking these bets and that's why they offer them.

yes they love taking these bets that's why you can't find more than a couple of online books that will offer these odds. you figure it out. if it wasn't profitable more books would offer it, no?

cmdyrds, I use JM at linesmaker... they are down, but hailmary.com is up. I have used it ever since 2/09. Got three payouts, 1 by check and 2 by wire in US. Nice book. Lines are usually up the day before, but that option screwed me in the DET series. Lost most of my profit. But, again, up a very nice chunk of change using NBA v1 and v2 and NFL this Fall. I used Betjam and they took my point buying away when I took them for 20 units straight on the system. Hope this helps.

[cmdyrds]

much appreciated.

I am not suggesting not to completely abandon the JM system. However, I what I am implying is that figuring out a away to win about 60% of your bets with a 1/2 point buy will increase your win by more than just the JM system.the fact is buying at -170 or over that doesn t make sense over the long haul unless you have a ridiculously high bankroll. Also the JM system is simply based on statistical facts so it eventually will crash in which you lose a lot of money. that is a guarantee
