NBA is tough. I started out with a bang, but have been in the :bowl: lately.

5% is the best choice here IMO. As stated in the long haul, 95% of all gamblers lose money. I don't know that this has changed in 2004.

Id actually say at least 10% come through with a positive figure at the end of any NBA season.........

The way the question is worded, I would say about 5%. That's including people who make money on the NBA through arbing, bonus manipulation etc. I know guys who make money on the NBA who have never seen a game.

If you just mean through straight gambling, I would say less than 2%.

since u said public I say closer to 0. maybe some pro's make some coin but no way the public does more than 1 percent imho

You cant depend on an NBA team to give effort on any given night.

They are spoiled corn rolled gangbangin thugs who tell women in the stands to suck their d***s, and then cry about a small fine and say they have kids to feed.

I hate the NBA

I'm not sure what the percentage would be. But I have a gut feeling that those who make some good money, play alot of 2nd Half Wagers during the season. Just a hunch.

thank you to everyone for taking the time to vote,,,, the LESS than 5% is the winner,,,

so to those that disagree with me,,,, you are in the Minority,,, this is a public forum not a RESEARCH center,,, everyone has an opinion, based on their own experiences,,, I am sorry that Prosides, and bosox didnt add their 2cents since they seem to think that the betting public is getting rich with the NBA,,,, haha,,, sorry fellas,,, your wrong,,

good luck to all

Why do you keep pestering me Tate? You've called me a hypocrite and a flake and all I did was question why you post a meaningless "theoretical" record in the title of your threads. I wasn't a tool about it or anything. If you want to take solace in thinking that you've won some posting "battle" fine. Like I said before I'm not looking for some big discussion. You the man.

People get lucky every year. Might even be a bit over 5% realistically. After all what if a guy comes to Vegas for a weekend, goes 3-2, and doesn't bet again all year? Shouldn't we count him as a winner?

Bad format for the question really. Ask it so it means something like: With a minimum of 100 bets in any given NBA season, how many win? Then follow up with: over 3 years with 100 plays minimum each year, how many win? By that point you will have it down to the 1-3% range most people would expect. NBA is not that difficult to beat for small amounts IMO, but serious scores are hard to come by. Picking 54-55% isn't that tough for people that read into scheduling well, but you can't pick 57% or more just by reading the schedule.
