Basketball Betting - NBA Totals Betting System
One of the oldest NBA total betting systems around is simply to bet the under in the game with the lowest posted over/under number on the board, provided there is 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
Seattle 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 - 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 a losing day or even two, before making a play.
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 be wagering against the public, they will generally have the advantage over the long run.
