NBA Totals Betting System no comments
One of the oldest NBA total betting systems around is simply to bet the under in the game with the lowest posted total on the board, provided there are a minimum of four games being played.
For example, if the following games are being played on any given night:
Miami 185
Indiana -4.5
Oklahoma City 198
Utah – 12
New Jersey -2
Golden State 192.5
Seattle 197.5
Portland -3
Dallas -5
L.A. Clippers 199
The bet would be to wager on under in the Miami vs. Indiana game, as the over/under of 185 is lower than any of the other posted totals.
Some bettors will double up after losses and try to show a profit any time the system wins, although that philosophy is always risky. Instead of doubling up, a bettor would probably be best served by waiting until the system has several losing days in a row and then get involved.
The method makes sense from a logical perspective, since most bettors prefer to bet overs, as it’s typically more enjoyable to root for scoring, bettors are less likely to bet under such a low total. Any time a sports bettor can place a wager against the public, they will generally have the advantage over the long run.
