NBA Basketball Betting Tips
Welcome sports gamblers, sports bookies, handicappers and anyone who just wants to get rid of his or her hard-earned money. Welcome to Basketball Betting 101, this is your professor, Jeffdstuff, and I will teach you everything you need to know about betting in basketball.
The NBA and NCAA College Basketball wars is here and it’s only right that we, as red-blooded sports fans, chime in on these latest hardwood battles as we put our money where our mouth is.
Basketball Betting 101 is here with professor Jeffdstuff to let you do just that without the hassle of losing butt-loads of cash.
Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled.
FOUR BASKETBALL BETTING PRINCIPLES
Welcome sports gamblers, sports bookies, handicappers and anyone who just wants to get rid of his or her hard-earned money. Welcome to Sports Betting Lessons, this is your professor, Jeffdstuff, and I will teach you everything you need to know about sports betting. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled.
In our pilot lesson, I will teach you four very important factors you will need about sports betting. If you thought you got betting on sporting events at the palm of your hands, you got another thing coming because if you don’t know squat about these four sports betting principles, you don’t know jack.
Here are the four important elements you can apply on your gambling scheme: Bankroll, Knowledge of the Game, Money Management and Discipline.
Bankroll is the amount of your hard earned cash you’re willing to put on the line each week for the exhilarating sport, if you can call it that, like sports betting. You can’t start withdrawing savings funds just for sports betting now right? The least you can do is set aside cash for your sport.
Oh yeah, it should also be cash that you have available before you make any moronic wagers because if you don’t follow this simple rule, you’ll be in a heap of trouble.
A classic example of which is a man I knew, let’s call him Mr. Stew Pheed shall we? Mr. Stew Pheed has $13 left in his wallet from all the hamburgers he stuffed his stomach for most of the day. Yet he bets $100 a game, figuring a few wins will cover the bets he intends to make later on in the week.
Mr. Stew Pheed is stupid. Don’t wager money you don’t have, don’t discount bankroll either.
Obviously, you need to have a considerable knowledge of the game before you can put your money where your mouth is. Having knowledge of the game doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to know what each player in the Eastern Conference asked for in their 8th birthday.
Knowledge of the game just demands for match-ups and the current team trends in order for you to come up with a winning proposition and finally stop you from making more moronic props.
Now this is self-explanatory. Money management is what you bet after a win and what you bet after a loss. That’s that.
Guts, brains, logic, an intelligent approach; you name something hard to do and discipline is what is lacking. You have to control yourself from putting wagers on all of the games scheduled on ESPN. Control what you can control. It will not only save you money but also turn you into one successful sports bettor.
That’s it for this edition of Sports Betting Lessons. Keep your eyes glued on my pages because it might just be a matter of time before ”The Stuff”, Jeffdstuff, schools you yet again.
50-50 CHANCE OF WINNING A BASKETBALL WAGER
Welcome to another edition of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will teach you another very important principle about sports betting. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
In our new lesson, I will teach you the one thing sports bettors don’t want to hear.
Anyone just has a 50-50 chance of winning a bet.
Most gamblers don’t want to hear this phrase, in fact, most of them don’t even want to believe in it. Well folks, stop being a joke, because believe it or not, your chances of winning in the sport of gambling is never better than 50-50.
Take for example in roulette, there are eighteen red numbers eighteen black numbers, plus the 0 and 00. That’s about a 50-50 chance of one of those two colors will show.
The same goes if you bet odd or even in roulette. There are eighteen odd numbers and there are eighteen even numbers. Even high-low bets offer you a 50-50 chance of winning. Eighteen numbers that go from 1-18 are low and eighteen numbers that go from 19-36 are high.
In team sports games, you get to choose one between the two competing teams, hence giving you a 50-50 chance. If you choose the Boston Celtics over the Detroit Pistons, which in my opinion will be utterly stupid, there’s a 50-50 chance that the Pistons will beat the Celtics and cream you down.
My point is, no matter how good a handicapper you are, you and that bum on the street both have a 50-50 chance in winning here in this world of sports betting. It’s just a matter of how good you can will your team to win the game and how loud you can root for your bet.
That’s it for this edition of Sports Betting Lessons. Keep your eyes glued on my pages because it might just be a matter of time before ”The Stuff”, Jeffdstuff, schools you yet again.
TRES MARIAS OF BASKETBALL BETTING
Welcome to another installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will teach you another set of very important principles about the great art of sports betting. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
In very first lesson, I taught you the concept of those four very important betting principles, for our lesson of the day, I will introduce you guys to their cousins, so to speak, the ”tres marias” of sports betting.
Those four betting principles were the four elements one should memorize, by heart, first before one tries his or her luck in the art of sports betting. Don’t you even dare attempting to enter the sports betting world without having these principles.
These ”tres marias” is as important. It’s made up of three very important elements that will help you become a better sports bettor. More importantly, it will help you cut down on your losses.
Henceforth, without further ado, the ”tres marias”.
These three are a step short of the four sports betting principles, except for trends. Why? Simple. In every other betting endeavor, trends always dominate. You can come up with every explanation you can find but streaks will always happen and when it does, you must have your so-called betting propositions ready to go along with them.
Learn how to make sports work for you. Streaks have and always will happen. Stop being a smart-ass, trying to find scientific explanations for them, instead, make these streaks work for you.
I’ll dwell more on trends in our very next lesson. For now, just sit back and relax because if you just follow these simple guidelines I’m preaching ya’ll in Sports Betting Lessons, the money will flow like bees to honey.
TRENDS IN THE WORLD OF BASKETBALL BETTING
Welcome to yet another installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and our lesson for the day is a follow-up on yesterday’s lesson. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you today’s lesson.
The trends in the world of betting.
You very well know by now that trends do and will occur. In case for those of you not familiar with the term, trends are streaks that are oh so common in the world of sports.
One team could either go for a 14-game winning streak or crumble with a nine-game losing skid. Trends dominate and in the wonderful art of sports betting, you must stop trying to explain these streaks and start having these streaks work for you.
Sports bettors live and die with streaks. That is a fact you must be ready to accept.
I’ll give you guys an example on how streaks sometimes, can be an ally today and be an enemy the next.
Let’s say you like the New York Yankees and you kept on winning big wagers as the Yanks’ went on for a 12-game winning streak. Feeling cocky, you bet half of your winnings on the Yankees’ 13th game, thinking that they will surely win again.
Unfortunately, the Yankees lost and you ended up with half of your winnings. The problem here is you relied too much on trends, which is the wrong thing to do.
Yes, you can have streaks work for you but you must not forget that streaks do end and as a sports bettor, you must be ready when it will end. Oh yeah, 13 is an unlucky number, even for a storied franchise like the Yankees.
That’s it for this edition of Sports Betting Lessons, keep your eyes glued on my page because professor Jeffdstuff has more to teach ya’ll about this wonderful and awesome sport we call sports betting.
THE BASKETBALL BETTING BANKROLL
Welcome to yet another edition of Sports Betting 101, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Sports Betting Lessons. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
Our lesson for the day is something you guys might have used already but have no idea what is it. Without further ado, I give you guys today’s Sports Betting 101.
The notion that bankroll relates to a butt-load of money is wrong. Bankroll does not necessarily mean big. Bankroll simply is the amount of money you are willing to wager for, let’s say a day, or a week.
Whatever amount of money you take with you on your way to Las Vegas, that, my friend, is your bankroll. Whatever amount of money you have for wagering on basketball or football, that, my friend, is your bankroll.
The moment your bets exceed the amount of your bankroll, you place one of your size elevens squarely on the proverbial banana peel and start your descent.
To sum up, bankroll is your money you just made available for your favorite sport called sports betting.
That’s it for this edition of Sports Betting Lessons. Keep your eyes glued on these pages because I just might school you again, sooner than you think.
WHAT IS SCARED MONEY IN A BASKETBALL WAGER?
Welcome to another installment of Sports Betting 101, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will feed your brain cells, or should I say, Sports Betting strategy bank if you will, with your daily dose of Sports Betting Lessons. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
Last time, I preached you guys what bankroll is. As you may already know, bankroll is not a bag full of butt-loads of cash. No, no, no. Bankroll, simply is, the money you have in your pocket, no matter how pathetic it is, you intend to use for your favorite past time, sports betting.
For today’s lesson, I will teach you guys another catch-phrase for money that we use in this sport we call sports betting. So without further ado, I give you today’s question of the day.
What is scared money in a wager?
No, scared money is not the money that always eludes you, it’s not the amount of money you always dreamed of having but seems like you could not get your hands on.
Scared money is the money you’re terrified of losing. When it comes to this art we call sports betting, scared money is money you don’t want to have with you.
There’s nothing wrong of being afraid of losing money but in sports betting, losing money is inevitable and when you’re scared as hell in this sport, you make scared decisions that turn out to be utterly stupid in the long run.
In sports betting, whether we like to admit it or not, exemplifies on the phrase, ”you win some, you lose some”, and if you want to be the ultimate Las Vegas Liaison or the almighty Reno Ruler, then you should not be afraid of losing.
What you can do is learn how to cut down on your losses and increase your chances of winnings.
That’s why Sports Betting Lessons is here and I, Professor Jeffdstuff, will continue to spread the good word of the almighty dollar. Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, keep your eyes glued here because this is your key to live out your ultimate fantasy of being a sports betting icon.
THE GRIM REALITY OF BASKETBALL BETTING
Welcome to yet another Sports Betting 101 from Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will feed your brain cells, or should I say, Sports Betting strategy bank if you will, with your daily dose of Sports Betting Lessons. Yup, you read it right, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
For our lesson today, I will teach you guys something that is so obvious and yet we fail to see it.
Sometimes, we refuse to see it.
Ladies and gentlemen, today’s Sports Betting 101.
Before we dwell on that point where you want to put some money on the line, let me remind you first that in sports betting, nobody can pick a winner 70% of the time.
No matter how good a handicapper you think you are.
As I’ve told you in yesterday’s Sports Betting Lessons, you should always be prepared of losing. That’s the grim reality of sports betting, even if we like to admit it or not.
As a sports bettor, you should look at the situations, or in our case, the sports event, as they really are and not just as you wish they are. When you start to do the latter, that’s when you’ll start losing butt-loads of money and that’s what I want you guys to cut down.
The grim reality of sports betting is picking more than 60% winners is beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.
BE A BASKETBALL BETTOR, DON’T BE A FAT LOSER
Welcome to Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and this time, I will feed your brain cells, or should I say, Sports Betting strategy bank if you will, with something new.
Because of this year’s basketball betting hysteria from the NBA and the NCAA, I will teach you guys how to lay your hard-earned cash on the line, the proper way, in these hardwood battles.
First up in our lessons, appropriately dubbed as Football Betting 101, is something very important.
Yup, you heard it right. If you wanna hit the jackpot in every NBA gamel on ESPN, you can’t afford to be a fan. Relax my dear friend, I’ll tell you why.
If you’re a fan, you’ll blind yourself from other teams out there, some could even be way better than your sorry-excuse team of has-beens and whiners.
What you can do is have it work for you.
Let’s say you like the Denver Nuggets and you know the team’s roster and depth chart. Heck, you can even pinpoint which wife goes to whom.
You can have this work for you.
If you know a team so much, how they play and how they react to certain situations, then you should know their ultimate strengths and weaknesses.
OOnce you know them, it would be easier for you to predict whether your team will win or not, and if you predict the later, then you should betray your beloved team for a while and follow the almighty dollar.
Don’t be a fan and have yourself be blinded with golden opportunities than this. That’s it for today’s Sports Betting Lessons.
Keep yourselves glued on these pages because I have more for you next time. Peace!
MAKE SOME BENJAMINS IN BASKETBALL BETTING
Welcome to another edition of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will feed your brain cells again with your dose of Sports Betting 101.
This is to prepare you, as well as your betting propositions, for this year’s hardwood warfare. Yes, you guessed it, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled yet again.
Yesterday, I taught you guys the value of being not a fan. This time, I’ll teach you the obvious but somehow, most of us fail to practice it.
Make some sports betting money.
You must be thinking, ”Duh! That’s what betting in sports is for!”, and you’re right, this is indeed the very nature why we bet on our favorite sporting events.
However, most of us, without knowing, bet on our sporting events not because we want to make money but just for the thrill of it. You’ll be surprised how many people bet on sports for all the wrong reasons.
These people, in case they don’t have you on their payroll, bet on sports for the thrill and excitement of a wager that may lose. These are people who put their hard-earned cash on the line just to make their boring sporting event a little exciting.
If you’re doing that then you’re doing it wrong. Sports betting is not there to make that godforsaken, sorry-excuse for a sport, showcase of boredom event exciting. Sports betting is all about making money, and there’s nothing more exciting than cashing in that winning pick.
There’s nothing more exciting than letting those Benjamins come in and make your week.
Do not confuse yourself about the objective of sports betting. Sports betting does not have to put excitement to a sporting event but to fill your wallet with butt-loads of cash. This is another edition of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff signing off. Remember to keep it here folks because this page is your edge in this wonderful art we call sports betting. Peace!
POINTSPREAD AND LINE OF BASKETBALL BETTING
Welcome to yet another installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will feed your brain cells again with your daily dose of Sports Betting 101 in preparation for the coming hardwood wars in the NBA and the NCAA. Oh yes, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled yet again.
Yesterday, I taught you guys what sports betting is here for. Sports betting is not to put excitement to your lame sports but to make those Benjamins call that wallet of yours, home.
Today, I’ll teach you guys the heart, the very core, the epitome, the alpha and the omega, the rose line of sports betting. Without further ado, here’s today’s Sports Betting 101.
The Pointspread and Line of sports betting.
In basketball, whether its in the NBA or the NCAA, employs the same pointspread and line. A pointspread will usually look like this:
This means that the Detroit Pistons are the favorites to win this game against the Orlando Magic. If you bet on the Pistons, that means the Pistons would have to score more than just six points for your bet to win. If the Pistons win via a stupid free-throw which will only give a point, you still lose because you were not able to cover the pointspread (-6.5).
If you bet on the Magic and they were beaten by Detroit by 3 pts., you still win your bet because you were still able to cover the point spread (+6.5). Think of it as this way, the Pistons are already down by 6 points and the Magic up 6, even before the game started.
The .5 is there to avoid any ties that could and will happen. You see, bookies and bettors hate that.
TThis has been another edition of Football Betting 101. Keep it here folks because I’m getting you guys ready for the furious betting activities that are about to explode once September hits our calendars. If you want to have those Benjamins as permanent tenants in your pocket, you better keep it here in Sports Betting Lessons, comprende?
DON’T WAGER EVERYTHING IN BASKETBALL
Welcome to another edition of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will you guys again with your daily dose of Sports Betting 101 in preparation for the coming hardwood wars in the NBA and the NCAA. Of course, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled again, wat’cha gonna’ do?
Yesterday, I taught you guys the very core of sports betting, the pointspread and line. It is through here you bettors place your hard earned cash on and bookies, well, make it utterly impossible for us bettors to find the best odds.
Today, I’ll teach you guys something you must not do in this art we call sports betting. So, without any more blabbering, I give you today’s Sports Betting 101.
Yes, some of our fellow bettors do that and maybe you do too. Betting on sports games is indeed fun and exciting but if you’re not careful, it could turn out to be your nightmare.
If there’s one more thing you have to find out, it would have to be these exact three words.
Pick out those games you have analyzed where you have the edge over the bookie. Something of a rarity these days but hey, hunting them down is half the fun right?
Doing this only increases your chances of winning because you’re eliminating the games that are more likely to end either way.
You want to earn butt-loads of cash. To do that, you must want to bet on the games that you’re 101% sure of winning. And to do that, you must pick out the games between teams you know more than the bookie.
Don’t tell those bookies I told you that.
This is another edition of Sports Betting Lessons. Keep it here on these pages because I’ll keep on letting the truth be told. This is Professor Jeffdstuff, signing off. Peace!
IT’S BASKETBALL BETTING FOR CHRISSAKES
Welcome to yet another very informative session of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, the one that gives you only useful stuff and I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Football Betting 101 in preparation for this year’s hardwood warfare in the NBA and the NCAA. Yup, you guessed it, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled again.
Yesterday, I taught you guys what not to do and that’s not to bet on everything. You see, if you bet on every sporting event available, not only will it be expensive, you have to be up 24-7 to monitor the games happening in the east and west coasts.
Of course, you’ll eventually lose a butt-load of cash, not to mention this very precious word called sleep.
Today, I’ll teach you guys something you think you know but subliminally think and do anyway. It’s time to stop talking gibberish and start feeding your betting fetish. Ladies and gentlemen, today’s Sports Betting 101.
You might me thinking, what the heck am I talking about, yes? Well, let me tell you what doesn’t help the team, betting money.
Here’s what I want to point out. Let’s say you like the Miami Heat and you bet a hundred bucks on ‘em. The Heat doesn’t know that you placed a bet on them, all the more that you wagered a hundred smackers on their sorry asses.
You have to always remember that betting on a team you want to win does not necessarily mean that, by divine intervention, the wind will blow the basketball towards the hoop just because you have a bet on them.
All is always fair in the world of sports betting, and sometimes, it’s so fair it’s unfair.
What I’m trying to say is, you bet on a certain team because you think they will win. You don’t bet on a team to think that you can help them win. Many bettors lose a ton of money that way. They won’t know that wager of yours, no matter how huge it is. Maybe if you place the smallest of wagers, something that can be dubbed as a disgrace to wagering, maybe Shaq will know about it, look for you, and laugh at you.
That’s another lecture from Sports Betting Lessons. Keep it here on these pages because I’ll keep on letting the truth be told. This is Professor Jeffdstuff, signing off. Peace!
KEEP YOUR BASKETBALL BETTING PSYCHE COOL
Welcome to yet another installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, the one that gives you only useful stuff and I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Sports Betting 101 for this year’s hardwood encounters in the NBA and the NCAA. Yup, you guessed it, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled again.
Last week, I thought you guys what doesn’t help the team and that’s you betting or not betting on them. In case you forgot, betting on your favorite team does not help the team win because what do they care about your scrawny little bet?
They don’t know about your bet or any bets that you will make on ‘em. The fact of the matter is, betting is just trying to predict whether your favorite team will win. Simple as that.
This week, I will teach you guys something you have to remember and must not forget. Hang on folks, this is today’s Sports Betting 101.
Yes, too simple to say but so hard to practice. No matter how good a handicapper you are, losing streaks happen and it will happen again. You see, trying to fend off a losing streak is like trying to fend off the inevitable.
Like real people, professional teams and athletes make mistakes. And if you’re following a certain team for your wagering activities, you are bound to go down with ‘em. The least you can do here is rethink your betting strategies.
Keeping a cool head is the key. Rethink your analysis of the game or games you’ve lost.
This will sound difficult but you have to do this.
If you want, you can wager smaller amounts than you are used to, this can be called ”mind bets”. If you start winning again, then by all means, return to your usual betting habits. However, if your losing streak continues, God forbid, study your line and analysis of the games one more time.
This happened to me once and it surely hurts. I was on a roll for three straight weeks then suddenly, wham, two straight weeks of painful pay-the-bookies.
That’s another session of Sports Betting Lessons. Keep it here on these pages because I’ll keep on letting the truth be told. This is Professor Jeffdstuff, signing off. Peace!
Welcome to another very informative installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Sports Betting 101 for this year’s hardwood wars in the NBA and the NCAA. As you may already know, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled again.
Yesterday, I thought you guys that keeping a cool head is important. How important? Heck, it can save you butt-loads of cash, that fo’ sho’.
Today, I will teach you guys something that the bookies all around the world does not want bettors like us to find out. I’ll be unleashing the secret today so without further ado, today’s Sports Betting 101.
Yup, this is the very word bookies always practice. Of course, they do this to make any betting proposition as favorable to them as possible. They just want you to think that they are just making it fair for us bettors but it’s not that.
Bookies balance the books to put some money on one side that fails in comparison to a favorite.
For instance, the Clippers will be hosting the Detroit Pistons. We very well know that the Pistons will always pound on the Clippers, no matter what time of the year it is.
In spite that, a bookie could have a line that may look like this.
This would mean that the Pistons are only a one point favorite over the Clippers despite the fact that we know the Pistons can beat the Clippers with a 14 or even a 21-point lead.
Of course, the money will pour on the Pistons. When the bookies realize that there’s no action going on the Clippers’ side of things, they will ”balance” the books.
See, I’m using the term ”balance” ever so slightly here.
When this happens, the line could look like this.
Now, you have the Raiders as heavy favorites and the Clippers with a +21 point advantage to start the game. This will make bettors find it harder to bet on the Pistons. It could even bring them to the point where they would be more comfortable betting on the Clippers.
See how bookies ”balance” everything?

USE THOSE BRAIN CELLS IN BASKETBALL BETTING
Welcome to yet another edition of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and of course, I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Sports Betting 101. This is for the hardwood war in the NBA and the NCAA. Oh yeah, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled again.
Yesterday, I thought you guys how bookies work around betting lines. Yup, they make it as favorable for them as possible. Now you know, and the best that you can do is continue hunting down the best betting lines available. Don’t just stick to one bookie.
Today, I will teach you guys something you can practice to keep the Benjamins rolling. So on that note, here is today’s Sports Betting 101.
Yes, using your head is as important to this sport we call betting as to that of real life. And in betting, using your head means betting with your head, and not with your heart.
For example, you’re from Miami and you like the Miami Heat. The Heat have a game against the defending NBA champions, San Antonio Spurs, and you very well know that the Heat will most definitely be creamed on this one.
Being the true Miami local that you are, you bet on the Heat.
What happens next is almost automatic. Another win for the Spurs and another month’s pay gone to the bookies.
A classic example of people betting with their hearts was the fight between Muhammed Ali and Larry Holmes.
Larry Holmes was the younger and stronger fighter, yet to taste defeat and he was going up against an old Muhammed Ali, way past his prime.
Common knowledge will tell you that Larry Holmes should be the odds-on favorite to win. It turns out that Holmes was only an 8-5 favorite over Ali.

BASKETBALL BETTING’S REVENGE FACTOR
Welcome to another installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and of course, I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Sports Betting 101 to prepare your ass for this year’s hardwood warfare in the NBA and the NCAA. Oh yeah, you’ll be unceremoniously schooled again.
Yesterday, I thought you guys to bet with your head and not with your heart. So the next time a Cincinnati local bets on his Bengals, you’ll know better.
Today, I will teach you guys something about sports that every sports bettor should know. So without further ado, here is today’s Sports Betting 101.
Yes, as you may already know, sports always has its fair share of rivalries to make each game more interesting than it already is.
For example, let’s say the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat have some kind of rivalry going on. Let’s say the Spurs won the first tango and the two teams will meet again in the following year’s basketball calendar.
Some would more likely pick the Spurs thinking, ”Hey, the Spurs already beat the Heat last year, lets put a gazillion dollars on San Antonio, they will definitely beat Shaq again.”
Now, you tell me, was that a good bet to make?
In the world of basketball, teams prepare in the off-season just for that one game when they meet their rivals.
And as fate would have it, the team out for revenge always come out on top.
What I’m trying to say here is that don’t just depend on the history between two teams when you make your wagers.
Any given Sunday, anything can happen, whether its a team trouncing on their rivals again or the other team finally having that sweet taste of revenge.
And its also important to take note that the team who lost the first meeting, is more likely to win the next one.
