I know everyone is taking a day to summarize the 2015 NBA finals, but as an Advantage Gambler, I don't like to do so unless I can make money down the road from some past observation I can document. Pursuant to that, I have one quick note to myself about the NBA Playoffs........look to fade individuals on props who are playing hurt/playing ineffectively in the NBA Playoffs.
We were fortunate enough to land on Klay Thompson UNDER 20 points in the finals, and cashed a rare 3* Best Bet with him. Thompson has been less effective on the road all year long, and he simply became less and less a factor as the Playoffs went on........if you went under 21 points on his the last 17 games, you won or pushed 15 times.......given that, I am kicking myself for not getting on the Anti Klay train earlier..........
The NBA was a great season for me (167-115-3), and WNBA is off to a stellar start at 9-4. However, MLB had been a big disappointment, as I am -15 units or so down on the year. Given that, I am changing my course of action the rest of the year. I have recognized in the past that too many sports (even doing just select teams) just is not possible for me, and it has not worked for me in MLB. I will rely much more on my MLB experts going forward, along with solid props to bet. This approach was very profitable for me in 2014, and I fully expect it to be so again in 2015.
NO sport is more volatile right now than the WNBA, look no further than the Indiana Fever who were home to Chicago and trailed by 35 (Catchings was suspended) then wheeled back the next game @ Atl as a 5 point dog and had a 30 point lead. WOW. Talk about a sports where buying points likely is not a good idea!
On the capping front, I am on two 2* MLB best bets, and I am very optimistic that we are going to start churning out a profit in MLB........Let's get on a run!
