National Basketball Association 2011-12 - Page 8 - Sports Betting

What books are the Americans in here using?

I'm currently placing mine with a close friend that recently started to take bets. He's also not charging me any vig, because I'm getting friends to place theirs with him too. It will last until at least the super bowl he said. Depending how things go, it could last longer. But I'd also like to use a book that's friendly for US customers, and where I won't have problems cashing out.

Also adding..

Denver -5.5 v Lakers (1u)

Well, he is a self-admittedly chilled out pot smoking professional poker player.

Given his bio, not too surprising he isn't keeping up with his own thread.

I believe Assani posted in tz, that he wouldn't be home until after the holidays. He may not even be wagering on games right now.

Does anyone object if we change the name of this thread to:

"Fade JonFon in the NBA for free money"

??

I was getting ready to tell you not to bet those games this early. Then I looked at the lineup...

(Don't like the Minny pick personally) Calling my friend now.

I'll be taking...

Magic -3 @ Pistons (1.5u)
Thunder -2 @ Mavs (1.5u)

I like to wake up in the morning and check the lines that I've bet. They usually have moved indicating I made a good bet but then I lose anyway.

2-1 for the night. +13.5u for the Season. Not a bad 8 days.

Monday plays...

Magic -3 @ Pistons (1.5u)
Thunder -2 @ Mavs (1.5u)

I'll probably add Miami -10 at some point tomorrow, but I'm really trying to keep it to a minimum each night.

I'm watching the games I bet on wondering how I can keep getting them all wrong.

Sigh.

I think I must retire from straight bets on NBA games and totals. Confirmed fish.

However, I think I might specialize in betting on quarters since I think those lines are softer and I'll have 4x as many bets to evaluate and find.

This sounds fun to me.

I think straight bets will get a little easier, as we get deeper in the season, and learn more about all the teams. It's just so hard to judge teams right now imo.

And, I've admittedly paid very little attention to the injury reports. That changes tomorrow.
