Back when you were betting NBA, Can you give us a rough/general example of your betting habits in a typical week. For example, lets pretend your bankroll was 100x. What was your average betsize in relation to x? How many bets did you place on average per week? Did you spread the amounts quite a bit or not very much at all and if so what was your range unit wise?? Also, Did you ever tilt and bet a late random 2H side where there was no real value because you were 1-5 on the day or were you really disciplined and responsible?? Any info and BR managemint tips (in relation to Sportsbetting, not poker) would be appreciated..
Also, Im a decent hoops fan but was definitely ignorant on the corner 3 thing.. Of the 30 NBA coaching staffs, are there any that completely ignore this concept or do all the staffs understand this and actually try and do something about it? Also, I dont follow the NBA like I once did, but there use to be terrible end of quarter management.. like not going for 2 posessions when you inbound or rebound the ball with 38 seconds left, or shotclock is off and you take a contested shot with 9 seconds left...Is that still really common or have players gotten smarter and better coached?
Lastly, Whose got the nicer stroke from the Charity Stripe?
a. Prahlad Friedman
b. Kevin McHale
c. Nenad Medic
In general I would flat bet around 5% of my betting bankroll. In the 2004 season however I was pretty much betting as much as I could get down at specific numbers.
This was probably pretty foolish because the lines started to move a lot after my bets and it made what I had been doing for most of my betting career very difficult to do as the books+followers sort of caught on to some of what I was doing.
from 2006 on I pretty much had to rethink entirely what I was doing and that is when I really started to get into more of a model based regression derived approach.
Most teams understand the importance of getting 2 possessions vs 1 at the end of a quarter - but not all teams do.
as for the FT question I'd have to say Prahlad.
