Betting NBA is comparable to me throwing my $ away

How can I possibly suck so bad at betting the NBA, but pick winners in college b-ball in a godlike fashion.

Seriously though. Seems like there's absolutely no home court advantage in NBA.

College b-ball, I can exploit many lines based off of home court advantage. I have a specific strategy I use that does very well (on a 5-0 streak right now actually ).

If i even attempt to use that same strategy in NBA, I'm well under 50% hit rate. Its just frustrating, b/c my college b-ball strat hits year in and year out, but nba, it doesnt hold a chance.

NBA has hurt me many a year as well. The only success I've ever had has been fading what looks like obvious lines.

For instance, I thought New Jersey at just +4.5 looked pretty short against the Raptors tonight and the Nets win outright.

I've stopped throwing real $ on the line w/ NBA its gotten so bad. Today for instance, I wouldnt' be surprised to see myself go 0-3

Washington -1.5 LOSS
Dallas -1.5 Probable loss
Knicks +8.5, Probable loss

(sighs) . Even w/o money on the line, i lose, hehe

Oh boy. 0-2 for the day now in NBA. 0-3 since yesterday. Lets see if the Knicks can choke in the 4th and give me an 0-4 streak.

I might start posting my nba plays so u boys can fade me

IMO you have a bunch of streetballers playing hoops. Very few are interested in playing defense and you never know when they feel like showing up to play. Impossible to cap. Everybody makes a run is an understatement.......seen too many times a team +4 lead by 18 or so at the half only to lose by 8.

I gave up on NBA years ago........Ill only play a few 2H's here or there........maybe you could follow Spreadbeater too....he seems to do fairly well with this league.

If you believe you can't win betting the NBA the solution is simple. Don't bet the NBA.
