I bet totals, halves, and sides. I have bet a quarter maybe one or two times. Also, bet a couple props. Some people say these kind of bets are sucker bets and have the books advantage all day every day. On the other hand, some bettors pound quarters/props and do decent at it. Some only just do props, crazy as that is to me. There is so many variables in prop bets that have to go your way, and quarters ? We see NBA teams go on 10-0 runs, just to give up a 15-3 run right back. None the less, there are those 1st quarter bets that look decent sometimes. Like, the Lakers tonight - 2. That is if they come out like they did vs OKC the other night... back on topic, How do you feel about quarter bets and or prop bets? Do you bet them ? And if you do what is your approach and do you have a way about betting props like only unders or plus juice etc. ?

I see where all the money is at on MB and then usually bet the 2nd half. Works quite well really...

Why not? Are they silly bets to you ? Or you prefer to stay away from the invariables in prop bets or what ? Do you bet NBA alot or only a little bit ?

What about player props? Does anybody play those? Do you only bet unders? Other night I tried one Ben Gordon over 20 pts.(his avg ppg) Rose was out. I saw the prop on a forum, someone liked Gordon pts + assist over 24. I liked it too, Of course my outs only had the point total, 20 pts. I thought he would go off and have a big night. He scored 19 in the first 3 quarters. Hinrich did all the ball handling and Gordon kinda just hid in the corner standing there all 4th quarter while everyone else played... and yeah he missed the wide open 3 .. lol I mean WIDE OPEN. So he landed on 19 pts total, plus 6 assists.. :| If you were watching the pistons Bulls game. I also lost the over by one point, and the Magic last night by 1 point. And another 4 games in the past 2 days by a point or less. :lol: Thats gambling tho, I've won a few by a point. :toast:

So back on topic, NBA player props?? Are these bad bets?

No, I've found that I just don't like betting on the NBA that much. I like to see how the teams are doing after the first half and just go from there.

I was given a nice little system for betting 1st quarters about two weeks ago. I have been posting the plays in the NBA forum.

Results have been great. One system loss that I did not play because it would have meant betting against the Cavs who were not in a very bad spot, and I just knew better.

Usually one or two plays per day depending on the lines/card.

I like to play 1Q's, but I seem to have a higher percentage of losses in the final seconds, nothing worse than winning 11:58 of it and lose on a miracle 3. :ohno:
