NBA BETTING TIPS

In the NBA, there are fewer men involved in a basketball game, compared to the injury-prone football. For this reason, it is easier to assess values to injuries in relation to a game. The pointspread can be adjusted with more accuracy than football except when a quarterback or star players are out. Basketball lines are posted the same day and the injury information is not always up-to-the-minute and may not be reflected in the line. Getting the information before the lines move, can be a big advantage for the handicapper.

In the NBA there are about 4 times as many betting opportunities as in the NFL. It's Sunday everyday during the NBA season. It is difficult to keep up with all the statistics, injuries and factors that influence every game. SPORTS INSIGHT will not make predictions until the third week of the season, because the statistics have not started forming yet. There are opportunities though. Young teams tend to be better prepared earlier than older teams. Aging veterans will not keep up their training programs as much during the off-season. Rookies and second-year men will be more durable. Early in the season, games figure to be lower scoring than later in the year. With all the extra pounds on the floor, bench players will get more playing time and the games tend to slow down late. Teams with the most new starters tend to make the most mistakes. The teams with most players returning from last year will tend to do better than the ones with a lot of new faces, especially early in the season. The teams with a lot of new starters figure to take longer to get in sync.

Handicapping Pro Basketball is very challenging because the schedules are so grueling that you can only guess at a team's motivation until the playoffs. Most pro games are decided point-wise in the final few minutes. There is no compulsion for the favorite to win big, yet it usually has the talent to do so.

Due to their style of play, some basketball teams have a tendency to hang in against a better opponent. They may be losing teams, but discipline at both ends keeps them in the game. They can be spotted by looking at their pointspread trend. There defense offers a good clue.

Control teams occasionally get blown out when unable to dictate the tempo. Don't be misled because they are disciplined.  They are not inclined to be lose big twice in a row. Pro Basketball teams are able to control the tempo better at home. Disciplined quinitets that are able to do this are a lot less of a risk when playing over/unders. 

Be leery of high point favorites that lack bench strength or killer instinct, check previous records.

SPORTS INSIGHT has many more basketball selections than most of the services. This is because you can accumulate a lot more units of profit the more games you play, as long as your winning percentage remains the same. Let's use 57.5% winning percentage (a realistic goal) as an example. If you win 57.5% of 100 plays (all the same amount), you will have 10.7 units of profit. If you have 200 plays (all the same amount), you will have 21.5 units of profit. Its obvious that the more plays you make, the more units of profit you will have if you maintain the 57.5% winning percentage. Another example, if you make 20 plays of $100 each and win 60%, your profit will be $320. If you make 10 plays at $100 each and win 60%, your profit will be $160. This is why SPORTS INSIGHT will have a lot more selections than the other services. The profits go way up the more plays you make. Because of this, basketball everyday can be better profit-wise, than once a week football.
