Are you ready for the NBA-

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Goodmorning Tgold, r_ventura_23 and members,

The brain wants action.

After handicapping THE numbers, I came up with the 76ers -2 [ 76ers is my pick for 11/11/2021 ].

Could not Stay away for 10 days.

Hoping i came back for a win WITH the 76ERS. Today I'm on tier 2...200 hundred dollar bet.

Greetings Tgold,

What do you think of me going back to flat betting these NBA games.?

When i was betting Tiers , some times I was betting Tier one When the bet was on TIER 2... and some times i would bet Tier 2 When should have been on Tier 1.

That's why i am going back to betting Flat Bets.

The bookie told me, we would make more betting Them flat.

luck at the casino.

Greetings Tgold and members,

Today WED 11/17/2021 After almost 2 hours of handicapping these games, i came up with a team that my numbers like, But I do not like, this team... might show up tonight and blow away the other team.

But i have no other choice but to bet it, What i like is the line - 2... my pick is [ MINNESOTA - 2 ]

Guys be careful with the amount of money you bet on it.

luck at the casino.

Hi jaime1943
It looks like you may have another pos streak materializing.

Jaimie: "...Greetings Tgold,
What do you think of me going back to flat betting these NBA games.? .."


I agree with your bookie in that you will make more flat betting vs doing a sliding scale(assuming you have an advantage), and I feel undoubtedly u do. I guess it just depends on your objective(e.g., Net+ for the year, double your bankroll, generate a weekly income,make bankroll survive the season, ...etc.).
Because you have an advantage (though we may not know the exact advantage), I would suggest just continue flat betting.

Another option Ill throw out just for consideration. One could consider a ( "kelly criterion" type % = To Your Advantage), of your bankroll and adjust daily or weekly. An example: Lets say u have a verified advantage of 1.5% (or whatever it is) and a bankroll of $10K, then wager $150 per event and adjust upward when the bankroll is greater than $10K(bankroll grows to 11K, then wager $165=1.5%). However, I wouldnt adjust the wager below $150 if that was the level of your initial losses equal(unless u are just wanting your bankroll to survive the season). Again just for our illustration purpose as I have no idea your precise advantage.
*I would encourage u to keep precise win/loss records season to season as not only can we calculate your advantage for future seasons. We can also examine how your winning /losing steaks unfold--I find this helpful in designing a wagering approach for any gambling event.

Bottom line: Flat bet seems to be working/meeting your objectives so I wouldnt change it.
Just keep doing what your doing.
----------------------------------------------------------------

An example from my aforementioned sliding scale: Im now 6-3 for the season and after going 4-3 on wagers @ 3.5U, I reduced on the scale and have won my wagers at 3.0A, and 3B, not counting the 11/17 potential wager. So I am +3net decisions and ahead 9.5U(less vig). My main purpose with the scaled model was to utilize the swaying back/forth of wins-loss streaks so the ratcheting up or down will pay for my expenses(vig ,commish,...etc). Based on the premise I will win my higher wagers and more losses will show at a slightly lower level.
Plus any lengthy losing streak will have less impact on my bankroll (providing we finish season >= 50-50 correct vs incorrect, and I could actually finish season ahead net$ even with slightly fewer wins than losses.
No worries at all as I feel very confident in your handicapping skills.


All the best/ may all cash tickets tomorrow,
All the best,
Tgold

Greetings Tgold,
I been doing this now for 3 years, betting NBA games.

In 2019, the first year i started playing NBA games, i was PLUS 35 games. I made alot of money.

In 2020 , It was a washout year, Corona 19...no action on NBA games.

In 2021, so far I'm [ Won 14 games and Lost 11 games ] Plus 3 games.

I think my mind is more clear now, so for that reason will be betting a flat bet of $ 300 dollars on every game.

Lets hope i have a better season in 2021, then i did in 2019.

luck at the casino.

Hi Jaimie
Good job with your current W streak.

The Minn W was my 3.0C and Char game was my 3.0D. Per my sliding scale I will now reduce to 2.0A for my next wager since I won the first four at 3.0(anytime I win 4/7 @ one level I regress for the next 7-bet level). Keep doing what your doing.

*re:The Minn win--I ran some filters on it and didnt see any signif bias(though I liked the -2 points metric) / + the fact Minn was at home playing a team wrapping up a 4-game road trip. I was hesitant but for the sake of consistency and my motto: "In george1776 I trust". :)


"Good teams win, Great teams cover"


All the best,
All the best,
Tgold
