Good move Boik, prioritizing basketball. If you know what you're doing and get on a roll, hoops is easily the best game to roll up a nice profit, IMO, not football. Very true to form. I just got back from a week cruise in Alaska financed via basketball winnings. It's an everyday sport and the 11/10 aspect works for me. In the playoffs sensible trends hold up year after year. Like the Heat in Game 3. If the team with home advantage splits the first two games, they inevitably make a big stand in Game 3 to regain the home advantage. Last year that trend went something like 12-1 versus the spread in the basketball and hockey playoffs combined.
Bettors like to rave about the win-only aspect of baseball wagering but other than betting streaks to continue I can't figure out how to beat that sport. The sportsbooks love football, especially NFL. People invariably overreact to the previous week's results and bet toward a replay of that. But the NFL is supremely balanced and usually a bounce league, where a big effort leads to a lesser performance the following week and vice versa, with some notable exceptions that I'm too tired to detail now. After 7 days on a ship I literally feel like the world is rocking even through I'm safely on terra firma.
