Expert Basketball Handicapping Advice - Bet On Basketball The Pros

You’ve come to the right place if you want to be the best handicapper in basketball! To help raise your chances of beating the point spread, there are lots of advice and tips that we offer.

A +2 and +2.5 difference could be the difference between whether you have a losing or a winning NBA season. Shopping for the best line is the first thing that we will suggest you do meaning that there’s a likely hood that you will play multiple sports books.

It’s your duty to find out what the public has their wager on. It’s a good time to consider being a contrarian going in the opposite direction if you are aware that the public in general are hammering on one side of the game thus giving the other team no respect and the line is not moving accordingly to balance up the cash. This is because hoops point spreads are based on public perception.
There tends to be more sucker bets in the NBA than in any other sport. To be able to determine why the line in question looks so low, investigate the line checking for injuries and any other information that pertains to it. Going against your gut feeling and betting the other way sometimes is the favorable way of dealing with a too good to be true spread; beware of a point spread that looks too good to be true as it probably is.

Avoid betting on ‘good teams’; that’s a general rule of the thumb. There’s nothing worse than finding out a team’s point guard is on the pines and with an injury after betting on them. Checking the updated injury report is a crucial thing for one to do. 

When the bad and good teams meet, bad teams are relatively respected less to the point spread making for a few backdoor covers. Don’t be surprised at this because it’s a proven theory that bad teams cover while good teams win straight up. Unless a good team lost to the bad team straight up the last time, a good team has no reason to crush a bad team if playing at home thus making for some nice barking dog covers. 
When picking your spots, there is money made wagering on the bad team when the really good and bad teams meet. This doesn’t mean that you should make a bet on the underdog every time such teams meet. At the same time, you shouldn’t be afraid of applying this method to bad road teams. However, if the bad team has injuries and or the like, we won’t recommend such a wager.

Betting on totals is something that you should consider as totals are overlooked so much. It totally amazes us why so many sport bettors never played an NBA total. It’s rather a disappointment since totals are a part of sports wagering and are of major value. Totals are one of the few sports bets that make good use of stats when handicapping. Just consider this; why are the limits on totals lesser than what you bet against a point spread? The reason is because they are much easier to beat. 

Do not fire your whole bankroll at a game that you hope will bail you out of a bad situation. It doesn’t matter how badly off you may be. Exercising proper money management is very important. Good handicapping will bring you back from where bad handicapping took you. You will never get a sniff of a winning basketball bet if you don’t keep the unit sizes equal.
