That's what I'm pretty much doing. They're probably gonna have some streaks where they cover, but over an 82 game season I'm thinking you're gonna make money if you fade the lakers religiously. And now Julius Randle went down. That team is so thin on talent.That TheStandard nikka eating good off the bum ass Lakers. Might be a nightly deal bet on whoever the Lakers play.

Said it weeks ago....
This Lakers team is flat out unbettable unless it's a huge spread.
It's bad enough this team can't stop a nose bleed, create turnovers or get consistent scoring from anyone outside of Kobe but......
Byron Scott refuses to allow this team to shoot 3s.
The Rockets have 7 more Field Goals than the Lakers but 9 more 3s....On 3s alone the Rockets have a 27 point advantage.
Rockets are 12-23 from 3....Lakers are 3 for 9....
shyt is absurd.
Dude doesn't understand points per possession at all....SMFH

Byron Scott is an idiot. Talking about 3's get you to the playoffs, but doesn't win you championships. Ummm yeah they do. Have you seen the Spurs and Heat the last few years? Why do you think contenders still want Ray Allen and Mike Miller? fukkin dumb ass.

You called it breh. Very sharp pick. Hedged out a bit with rockets -12.5 but yeah this season the lakers are truly unbettable imo. This team this season is lightyears worse than last year. They had so many inflated spreads last year and actually covered early on a lot because although they missed a lot of threes they could stay in the games with the shooting if they got hot.
As you said it's a braindead strategy to try and outscore a team that's scoring 3 points every time you score 2 or most of your offense comes from difficult two points when it takes the rockets a few seconds to drain a three or devour their frontline.
There's zero chemistry between these guys also, just looks like a complete shytshow.

Kind of a snap bet but fukk it, I'm taking the royals tommorow. Hudson fukking sucks, felt like they were a team destiny all postseason, I think the Royals pull it off.

I'm going to have something tonight....
Full board
Going to look at it in a few
I've been trying to do research on how to do a Model so I'm a little behind. I'd prefer to bet into openers rather than having the lines move against me.
I missed the Under 198 in the Pelicans line yesterday....ended up dropping to 191 by gametime.

its tough as shyt to bet on nba in this first week... let teams show u something... ill be watching all games on league pass tho
idk i think othserwise. if youve done enough hwk you can get some great bets before vegas picks up on teams more. they show u something they show vegas too. im 5-0 on bets from last night and am 9-1 including preseason last ten. vegas was behind on pelicans and suns.
tonight (just nba) i got:
mem u195.5, gs o205.5 parlay
hou +.5, gs o201.5 teaser
gs o205.5 straight
I hear you but basically any real research is based on either 1) reports which can be manipulated by a team 2) preseason which literally means nothing... look at ginobli's performance last night...
There are alot of teams that havent even solidified their starting lineup and are playing tonight... that being said I like your bets... memphis is a sleeper contender and will probably shut minesoata down to under 85 total points.
yeah i mean those variables are always in play...i think preseason means something outside of W-L's if youre lookin at how projected starting lineups played together during the game, overall bench depth and perhaps their offensive system to note O/U's.
the way i look at it is that if u can parse through the nonsense and trust your knowledge, early season is best before vegas can get all their advanced algorithms and shyt more fine tuned.
i think both teams mem/min stay under 100. min could surprise and cover but i dont see them going over 195.5 with flip talking about fewer 3's and mem's slow pace and defensive style. as long as min keeps it relatively close it stays under..if mem goes up big and puts in their scrubs then idk.
i think gs is going to hang 110 on sac and i think sac is going to be willing to run with them so that line seems like a layup to me, especially with teaser
edit: prob jinxed it but w/e
knock on wood... there ur ok lol
But yeah the first 1-2 months of nba basketball are the best time to make money maybe in any sport... because vegas holds on to last year so hard... and wont accept a team like phoenix as a favorite....
i made all my money last year on betting phoenix after i watched them beat SA early in the year... if only i would have stopped when i was up tho... shyt gets really hard to bet after christmas
i was 5-0 on PHX bets in preseason 
here are some futures i got:
sixth man wilson chandler +2500
sixth man isiah thomas +1600
pelicans division +4000
bos o26.5 wins
sac o29.5 wins
i added these just now
:minnesota u95 points
warriors first to 50 points
hou/gs moneyline
mem u202, gs o201 (teaser)
imma play some ball tonight and come back to see the fruits of my labor (hopefully)
