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!

Just 3 more days to the NBA'S first game.

To DN8R, I think the nets do not need a cry baby like Kyrie, you need to trade Him, and move on.

luck at the Casino

Greetings r_ventura_23,

Last year i realized after 7 games , that this was not going to be a NBA. season [ BUT ] a corona 19 season.

So after those first 7 games i gave up Trying to Fight the Corona 19 Devil, i took the 10 count.

But this season, everything will be back to Normal, and it should be a Winning season for me.

Luck for all at the Casino.

Hi jaime1943

Best of luck/looking forward to your picks.

re:
"... The first five games, i will be betting 100 dollars on each game.

Games 11 thru 15, will be betting 300 dollars on each game.

Q1) Is there a specific reason for doing a predetermined four-tier five-wager system/then following with the final leg of 67-wagers at highest $400 level.

Thx in advance,tg
All the best,
Tgold

Greetings Tgold,

Oct 19 2021, is been a good day today.

The Answer to your question is yes.

I'M using the first 15 games to see how my handicapping is holding UP, before i play Real Money on the Last 67 games of the season.

If i see Teams playing below Parr the first 15 games, i will handicapp those games Over and Over to see Why, then i will adjust my betting on the next 5 games, untill the teams are playing up to Parr.

Then my bets will be 400 dollars a game the rest of the season.

Luck at the casino.

Hi jaime1943/thx for your prompt reply to my Q. Your graduated tiers /thoughts make sense.

The following is how I plan on wagering the NBA season and mostly your picks(not every day though days I omit wont be due to my opinions but simply because I couldnt or didnt get my bet in).
My thought process for this is that you likely have an advantage for the season(<=82 events), yet may at times win 7-8 in a row(or lose 7-8 IAR), and I wont be too overly concerned(& u shouldnt either), as I will be winning more at higher levels and losing more at lower levels.
I perceive these wagers as approaching a 50-50 even-chance proposition(but your slight advantage will present within the 82 decisions. So with the same logic as if I was approaching an even-chance table game and had not collected any data points to see where the bias was(& imo there is always a bias somewhere). As Follows:

7-level 7-tiers sliding 7-unit scale

My bet spread is (1u--7u). I will start at a unit size of 3.5u. Anytime I win any four out of seven wagers at any level I will reduce to the immediate next lower unit size(even when I win the first four of the seven wagers). Anytime I lose >=4 wagers at any level I will increase to the immediate next higher unit size(though unlike when I win the first four, I will wager the full seven wagers and only then increase to said next upper level).

1111111
2222222
3333333
3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 Start
4444444
5555555
6666666
7777777


Best of skill to you Jaime1943 in Puerto Rico/ May the sun always find you even on the coldest of days.
All the best,
Tgold

Greetings Tgold,

10/20/21...Temp is 80 degrees and sunny and windy.

Like the way your mind works,I think you and i are Betting the same way on these NBA games.

Do you think DN8R can play this betting system on his NFL picks.

I will have to see how i can incorprate your betting system into my betting system this NBA season.

Like you say, i will go into these winning streaks of 7 or more games.

Now you have me thinking, about my betting system on these games, have you tried betting this way on

the game of Craps.?

Luck at the casino.

Hi jaime1943
I didnt see your season opener selection (lakers) so didnt have any wagers opening night.

I played your pick tonight(char) as my first placement (so im 0-1 and that was my 3.5a, tomorrows pick will be 3.5b,...etc), on my aforementioned 7-7-7 sliding scale . I hope to place 70-74 wagers out of the 82 picks. though may only get 60-70 as Im sure some picks will have late-breaaking news or my line will be a couple different from what you received,....etc.

Jaime1943:
"...I will have to see how i can incorprate your betting system into my betting system this NBA season.

Like you say, i will go into these winning streaks of 7 or more games.

Now you have me thinking, about my betting system on these games,



I guess it all depends on what YOUR objectives are for these 82 wagers. For example do you want to survive the season on one buyin(seasonal bankroll), or do you want to double your seasonal bankroll, maybe earn 8% of bankroll because maybe your local banks' best investment vehicle only returns 4%,...etc, other? . IMO your 1-4 spread with 5 wagers per level on first three, will serve you well if you have a higher-than-expected number of losses at front end of season(lets say you started 3-12). Because you can win just a few at the 4th levels and easily recoup. However, as u will agree if you were to get on a huge winning streak at early part of season (@ 1.0U level), then just the opposite could happen as a much higher number of losses could occur at the 4th and highest level.
Overall it likely wont matter too much as you are just as likely to have losing (or winning ) steaks at either ends of the season and your Mean wager is $3.63U I believe. Again just quick thoughts as I dont recall your number of untis, bankroll risk, how many bankrolls per season, short term and long term objectives,...etc.

My betting spread above is to allow my nba bankroll to survive long enough to give your advantage a sufficient number of trials(decisions) to shine through. My specific win goal will be to earn a >=20% return before the season ends and risk <=100% of nba bankroll in that effort. We could possibly see upward to 2-3SD variance (+/-). Im prepared for that and my spread will help with how the volatility affects my buyin for this. Obviously it wont change Probability, EV, H.E., ...etc.


"...have you tried betting this way onthe game of Craps. ..."

Yes as it was designed for games with even chance weighted wagers such as Craps line wagers though initially utilized more with Pai Gow /roulette. Though Pai Gow tables are becoming obsolete so not much PG in past year or two. I prefer to utilize on one single wager and try to keep the Variance wound tightly around a single event so it will hopefully soften the volatility on my buyin(typically only one from: Dc1,dc2, dc3,or dc4th).
I play Bac far more than anything else and do about 98% of my wagering as a Pos Progression so really havnt used it in Bac (or maybe occasionally after pos run as to just pick up a couple extra wins when the shoe has been significantly skewed. It would likely perform similar as to craps or any other even chance game.


All the best,
All the best,

Goodmorning Tgold,

Like the way you think,i think patience is the key to all gambling games.

That's why 90% of all players in a casino will be losers in the long run, and the short term to.

Seen players up good money And walk out broke/They wanted more cash AND because of lack of patience no cash for you.

And on the way home They are saying to themselves, tomorrow i will win. [ no they won't ]

I think the game of [ Baccarat ] is the game that is easy to beat with your betting system.

When you play baccarat, are you a winner with this system.?

I wish DN8R would Post on this betting system, that you have, how long did it take you to come up with this system?

Luck at the casino.

jaime1943.
