NBA Systems ready to fire this Monday

The big game of the evening features Denver at Dallas, with both teams trying to hold off pursuers in division play, while looking to earn second slot in the West behind the Lakers. One of these clubs is in a better system along with three other matchups that have top notch super situations to consider on the last Monday of March. Take a gander of the wagering possibilities tonight in professional hoops.

Toronto (+8, 195.5) at Charlotte

The Bobcats have taken advantage of a break in the schedule, winning and covering three games in a row. With Toronto having lost three straight (the last two by four total points) and nine of last 12, one might expect Charlotte’s good fortune to continue, yet underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a contest involving two average teams (+/- three points per game differential) after 42 or more games, after two straight losses by six points or less are 35-12 ATS.


L. A. Lakers (-6, 201.5) at New Orleans

Los Angeles was pathetic offensively in loss to Oklahoma City, scoring 75 points on 39.2 percent shooting Friday night. The Lakers immediately came right back, converting on 57.5 percent of shot attempts at Houston in 109-101 victory the next night. When road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points play after a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points in the second half of the season, they are 37-10 ATS the last three seasons.


Denver (+5.5, 211) at Dallas NBA-TV 8:30E

In this important battle for second place in the Western Conference, neither Denver nor Dallas is playing their best basketball. The Nuggets have lost four of five and have not covered a spread in eight games, while the Mavs are 3-4 SU and 1-6-1 ATS in previous eight outings. The Mavericks appear to still have the edge since home favorites are 40-17 ATS after failing to cover five or six of their last seven against the spread, in a game involving two teams with 60% to 75% win percentage.

New York (+11, 213.5) at Utah


The Knicks haven’t played Utah since way back on Nov. 9, losing at home 95-93 as 5.5-point home underdogs. New York opened their five game west trip by being thumped by Phoenix 132-96 two days ago. When these circumstances come together, look towards the total, as revenging teams off a road blowout loss of 20 points or more, with the total at 210 or higher, are 55-24 UNDER the last 14 years.

Phoenix Suns in burning hot situation

In sports, one of the old sayings is – sometimes the best trades are the ones you don’t make. For Phoenix, this has turned out to be abundantly true. It was known all over the league the Suns front office was trying to move Amare Stoudemire and were reportedly very close with both Cleveland and Miami, however Phoenix didn’t pull the trigger on either deal and Stoudemire stayed. This non-move has turned out to be the best move for the franchise.

At the trade deadline, the Suns (45-26, 39-30-2 ATS) were bouncing back between seventh and eighth position for NBA playoffs, but no more. Phoenix has won 13 of last 16 (11-4-1 ATS), including last five in a row. Not only have the Suns moved up to fifth spot in Western Conference, they are one loss behind Dallas, Denver and Utah to potentially rise as high as the No. 2 slot out West with 11 games to play.

Among the varied reasons for this upheaval is Stoudemire. Often thought to be a malcontent, more worried about personal stats than winning, he has been absolutely domineering with 30.8 points while adding 10.0 rebounds over the last 11 games.

“He’s been great,” coach Alvin Gentry said of the forward, who leads the team with 22.9 points and 8.8 boards per game. “We try to take advantage of situations where they try to put undersized guys on him.

“He’s come through for us big time. He’s played great. The last month and a half, I think he’s been the best player in the NBA.”

The Suns are 3-1-1 ATS during this latest winning streak, which including titillating 152-114 explosion over Minnesota. Phoenix has shot 52.7 percent or better in four of last five outings.
The person that led the Suns revival is now the coach of the New York franchise, Mike D’Antoni. Thus far in taking over the Knicks he has been similar to his predecessors, unsuccessful at 26-45. The roster lacks many of the attributes he had in the desert, namely a point guard even remotely similar to Steve Nash.

New York isn’t all that interesting to watch either, ranked 11th in scoring at 101.7 points per game and has played UNDER in eight of last 11 contests.

The folks at DiamondSportsbook.com have Phoenix as 10.5-point favorites, with total of 224 and that spread could be beatable with this super system.

Play On favorites of 10 or more points after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, against opponent after going Under the total by 54 or more points total in their last ten games.

This isn’t a system that comes up frequently, just over two times a season on average since 1996. While it doesn’t pop up often, the results certainly do stand out with 25-5 ATS record, 83.3 percent. Among the comforting aspects are the favorite has NEVER lost and the average winning margin is 17.9 points per game. This system has also stayed consistent, 13-2 ATS the last five seasons.

To further enhance to probability of this system being correct, Phoenix is off a 133-131 squeaker over Golden State Monday night and the blazing hot Suns are 11-1 ATS after a close win by three points or less over the last three seasons.

St. Patrick's Day System for Boston Celtics

This Atlantic Division matchup is unusual to say the least on St. Patrick’s Day. In New York and Boston reside thousands of folks with Irish heritage and a whole lot of wannabe’s at least for a day. Both the Knicks and Celtics want to prove their heritage as winning championship franchises when they meet Boston.

New York is trying for three consecutive wins and covers for the first time since the first week of 2010. The Knicks are at their final stop of five game road trip, having ended Dallas’ 13-winning streak in thunderous fashion 128-94 and following that up with extending Philadelphia’s home woes with 94-84 victory, both as underdogs.

The Celtics has been more unstable than an Irish patron leaving an Irish pub after several hours visit on St. Patty’s day in their last three contests. At home, Boston blasted Indiana by 19 points and Detroit by 26, shooting 58.4 percent and even better 62.2 percent in the latter. Sandwiched in between was one quality opponent, Cleveland, and they lost 104-90, converting just 40 percent of launched attempts.

DiamondSportsbook.com has the C’s as nine-point favorites with total of 208 and a super system is available that figures Boston might be the right play.

Play Against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival, against opponent off a home blowout win by 20 points or more.

This scintillating system is 27-7 ATS, 79.4 percent the last 14 seasons and this is the first time it has popped up all year. New York might be off consecutive covers, however they are 10-19 ATS this season when in this spot. Boston has dominated recent visits be the Knickerbockers, winning six in a row (4-1-1 ATS).

Give consideration to this stout system along with that Guinness that might be in your near future.

ALL Systems go on NBA Monday

While most of you have been spending the morning hours going over NCAA tournament brackets, discussing the upcoming matchups and looking at what underdogs could pull off outright upsets on Thursday and Friday, their will actually be basketball played tonight, in the NBA. Here is a look at the best systems to consider, with a pair of televised tilts as well. Sides and totals from DiamondSportsbook.com.

New York (+3, 210) at Philadelphia 7:00E MSG

The Knicks have not had many highlights to their season, but Saturday night was one of them, with a stirring 124-98 road upset of Dallas as 10.5-point underdogs, ending the Mavs 13-game winning streak. This sets up New York for totals play as road teams off a win by 10 points or more as an underdog, with the total at 210 or higher are 41-14 UNDER the last 14 years.

Detroit (+9, 195) at Boston 8:00E ESPN

The Boston Celtics didn’t show a great deal of energy in being handled by Cleveland 104-90 as seven point underdogs on Sunday afternoon. If that matchup didn’t bring out the best in the Celtics, it would not figure Detroit would either, especially playing their fifth game in a week. Home favorites with a 60 to 70 percent winning record, facing a club with a 25 to 40 percent losing record are 9-33 ATS since 1996.

Denver (-2.5, 216) at Houston

The Nuggets have reeled off six straight wins, including the last three on the road. Denver was particularly impressive at its last stop in Memphis, where they scored 125 points, shooting 58 percent from the field, winning by 17 points. The Nuggets are second in the NBA in scoring at 107.4 points per game and teams that average more than 102 points a contest, against a decent offensive team (98-102 PPG), with a line of +3 to -3 after a blowout win by 15 or more are 32-9 ATS the previous five years.

Washington (+11, 202) at Utah

The Jazz have walking wounded and it showed defensively in their last game against Oklahoma City, falling 119-111, as the Thunder shot 60 percent as team. Oddsmakers don’t seem to be too concerned Utah won’t bounce back at home, since the Jazz lead the NBA in field goal percentage at 49 percent. In this confrontation, look to play on teams that shoot 48 percent or better and conceded 55 percent or more in last outing, to be a spread winner with 32-9 ATS record since 2005.

L.A. Lakers (-8, 225) at Golden State 10:30E ESPN

Pau Gasol has been publicly critical of Kobe Bryant’s ball distribution tactics. Bryant to his credit has keep his mouth shut, knowing his team needs Gasol later in the post-season and blasting him won’t resolve the issue. The Lakers have won their last two games and have had a break in the schedule which has allowed for more down time and just practice. Road favorites off a road win against division rival playing four or less games in 10 days are 10-3 ATS the last five seasons.

New Orleans (+2.5, 203.5) at L.A. Clippers

The Hornets continue to falter, losing seven of eight and haven’t covered the spread once in this stretch. New Orleans was hammered in the desert yesterday 120-106 and travels to Los Angeles trying to break the drought. NBA teams off a road loss by 10 points or more, against opponent off a road blowout loss of 20 points or more (Clippers lost by 30 at San Antonio Saturday) are 66-34 OVER in next contest.

The Top NBA systems for Monday

Five games will mark the Monday slate, however the best of the group didn’t have a side or total when this article needed to be completed since LeBron James and Cleveland is up in the air for visiting San Antonio. Instead, we press on with the rest of the other games, including games involving car-wrecks New York and New Jersey. Who said Monday’s aren’t fun. Sides and totals from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Atlanta (-7, 210.5) at New York

You’ll have to excuse Knicks if they are really down, not every team could lose by 20 points to New Jersey, especially after they enjoyed a 16-point lead in the same game. If you can’t close out the Lousy Bets from the Garden State, you deserve what you get. Of note, the Knicks couldn’t throw in the Hudson River, setting a NBA record of miss-guided futility, with ZERO for 18 total beyond the three point arc. Here is what to do with the New York “Bombers”, play against home teams after they allowed 100 points or more in five games, against opponent after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in consecutive contests. A record of 26-8 ATS tends to work.

New Jersey (+8.5, 196) at Memphis

Memphis didn’t handle the pressure of taking care of San Antonio at home Saturday, losing by 10 points to division partner, their seventh straight defeat at FedEx Forum. When the total is between 190 and 199.5 points for team like Grizzlies, playing a non-conference clash off a division loss, the outcome the previous three years is 59-30 UNDER.

Dallas (-7, 207) at Minnesota

The Dallas Mavericks have won 11 in a row and will look to maul Minnesota an eight straight time this Monday. The Mavs are battling injuries, yet keep in winning. They won 122-116 at Chicago two nights ago and road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points, after a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points, in the second half of the season, are 43-15 ATS since 2005.

Golden State (+7, 214.5) at New Orleans

The Hornets are really struggling without Chris Paul. Having lost four in a row SU and ATS and six of seven overall, New Orleans lack of defense is really hurting them without offensive production. When a team has being beaten by the spread by 18 or more total points in their last three games, with a winning percentage of between 45-55 percent on the season and the total is greater than or equal to 210, the UNDER is 53-23.

All Systems go for NBA Monday

The Utah Jazz are the hottest team in the NBA, winners of 13 of 14 (11-2-1 ATS) and last four in a row, all on the road. They return home against Atlanta who is wrapping up their four game road trip, who has the edge? For the answer to this and other NBA betting edges, read on about today’s top system plays in professional hoops. Numbers from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Chicago (-3, 201) at Washington

Even with an eye on next season already, Chicago Bulls’ players are focused on the present. The Bulls front office has made trades freeing cap space to go after at least one of the enticing free agents in the market place after the season, however the current collection of players have covered seven of eight and five in a row. For tonight’s matchup, the total draws the most attention since road teams with a total of 200 or higher, off a home blowout win by 20 points or more, against opponent after a road game where both teams score 100 or more points, are 32-10 OVER since 1996.

Milwaukee (+1.5, 206.5) at New York

The New York Knicks have lost six straight and almost won as Tracy McGrady made his debut in the Knicks uniform, falling 121-118 to Oklahoma City Saturday night. Having lost three of four at home to Milwaukee, tonight’s situation does not set up much better as teams revenging a straight up loss vs. opponent as a home favorite, off a cover where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog, are 43-70 ATS since 2004-05, including all six this year.

Indiana (+9, 208.5) at Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks have a run of the mill home record at 17-9; however they are positively disgusting or delightful, depending on what side you wager on them, with a league worst 6-20 ATS home record. Everything doesn’t figure to improve immediately, since home teams playing their fifth game in a week, with a win percent of 60 to 75 percent, playing a team with a losing record, are 20-55 the last 12 years.

Atlanta (+5, 196) at Utah

Both teams are playing their third game in four days, with one obvious distinction; Atlanta has lost their last two, while Utah has won not only previous two, but four in a row. That in theory at least gives the Jazz the edge as home teams covering the spread in four or more consecutive games, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), are 31-7 ATS.

The NBA is TOTALLY Cool on Tuesday

Tonight in professional basketball, the focus is on checking out the latest trend totals for a Tuesday evening. More than few sharp bettors will tell whoever is listening that the best way to beat the NBA is to play totals, with the numbers often more difficult to beat on side action. Here are totals aspects to consider tonight.

Less than two weeks ago, who didn’t want to play the Minnesota Timberwolves, since a relatively easy victory awaited any team that put forth the effort. Like grandma using the “clapper”, the T-Wolves have taken on juggernaut status like turning on a light switch. Minnesota’s unlikely uprising has coincided with putting the ball in the basket, shooting 50 percent or better in four consecutive games in which they have won and covered. The Timberwolves are on a 6-1 OVER run and as they head to Philadelphia and Minny is 16-9 OVER on the road this season. Bookmaker.com is producing a 205.5 figure on this matchup and Minnesota is 10-2 OVER in a road game where the total is 200 to 209.5 this season.

Any game Indiana is involved in just has the feel of an Over. The Pacers are 25th in points allowed at 104 per game and are average offensive at 99.1 PPG. Oddsmakers have had a good read on Indiana most of the season in the totals category, since they are 29-21-1 UNDER for the year. The Pacers are a 1.5-point home favorite against Chicago tonight with total of 203.5 and are 10-2 UNDER as a home favorite of six points or less this season. This Central Division contest also shows the Bulls leaning one way, as they are is 8-1 UNDER when the total is greater than or equal to 200 this campaign.


Those trying to sell Sacramento and New York as a defensive conflict are laying out the galimatias on sports bettors. The total is 212.5, which is the lowest in three previous meetings between these teams, all that went Under the number. Even with this change of events, eight of the last dozen games between these mediocre teams have gone OVER and the Knicks are 13-3 OVER in February games since last year. However, maybe those setting the numbers know something. The Kings are on a three-game Eastern swing, having lost six in a row and are 11-1 UNDER after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games. New York allowed 74 points in the first half of last contest to the Cavaliers, but came back to cover in loss at Cleveland. The Knickerbockers are 10-1 UNDER after trailing in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half over the last three seasons. Maybe this East vs West affair isn’t as obvious as it looks.

The Utah Jazz have won eight in a row and 12 of 13 to move within two games of division leading Denver. Utah’s offense has been incredibly effective in this stretch, averaging 110.7 points per game and they are 9-4 OVER. The Jazz defeated Denver 116-106 and is 13-4 OVER in road games after scoring 110 points or more. The Clippers can’t possibly keep up with Utah in high scoring tilt and are 17-7 UNDER at the Staples Center this season. Los Angeles lost at Utah in their third game of the season by 13 points and is 9-1 UNDER in home games revenging a road loss vs. opponent of 10 points or more this season. Oddsmakers opened this encounter at 198.5 and NBA totals players have hit it hard, raising it three points.

All Systems go on NBA Monday

It’s a special day in the NBA celebrating Martin Luther King Day. This has led a blitz of basketball most of the day, starting in early afternoon and going late into the evening, especially east of the Mississippi. A dozen different opportunities are presented to the sports bettor as the league honors a great man known for heroic deeds. Numbers from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Detroit (+5.5,192) at New York 1:05E MSG

The Pistons have followed losing 13 in a row with three straight triumphs against New York squad that has dropped four of five. In this situation, look to play on road team having lost 12 or more of their last 15 games against opponent having fallen four of their last five games. (63-28 ATS)

Portland (+1.5, 192) at Washington 1:05E NBA-TV

The short-handed Washington Wizards have fallen four of last five games and this afternoon will be their fifth game in a week. Home teams with a winning percentage of 25 to 40 percent, playing their 5th game in 7 days are 62-103 ATS since 1996.

Sacramento (+6, 196) at Charlotte 2:05E

The Charlotte Bobcats have won four in a row, seven of eight and covered the spread in 12 of their last 17 games. Sacramento on the other hand has lost three straight (not shooting over 38 percent), 10 of 12 and absolutely buried backers with 2-9-1 recent spread record. Naturally, the Bobcats would be the play correct? In the NBA, look the other way as a home favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points are 8-24 ATS the last three years after beating the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games, against opponent after being beaten by the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games.

Oklahoma City (+5.5, 196) at Atlanta 2:05E

The Thunder is proving to be one of the best young teams in all of the NBA, even producing a winning record. Oklahoma City is off an impressive wipeout of Miami 98-80 and road teams when the total is between 190 and 199.5 points, off a home win by 10 points or more, with a winning percentage of between 45-55 percent on the season, are 34-11 UNDER since 2007.

Milwaukee (+6.5, 197.5) at Houston 3:05E

This is the last stop on the Bucks six-game road trip that has seen then manufacture 1-4 (2-3 ATS) record. Don’t be surprised if Milwaukee plays OVER, as road teams where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points, after allowing 100 points or more two straight games, against opponent after a combined score of 205 points or more on two or more consecutive contests, are 35-12 the last five seasons.

Philadelphia (-1.5, 205.5) at Minnesota 3:35E

The Sixers and Timberwolves are a couple rumpled offensive teams, ranking 21st and 25th in points scored respectively in the league. In spite of their misgivings in placing the ball in the baskets, teams like Philadelphia off consecutive Under’s, playing in a matchup involving two squads that average 92-98 points per game, with a total over 200, are 33-7 OVER since 2005.

New Jersey (+9.5, 196) at L.A. Clippers 3:35E YES

In this battle of can’t dial up long distance vs. can’t guard from far away, something has to give. The Clippers are 27th in three-point accuracy and the Nets are 27th in stopping made baskets from beyond the arc. Home chalk that is poor three point shooting team (33% or less) who commit 14.5 to 16.5 turnovers a game, against lousy three-point defense (36.5% or higher) who average 14.5 or fewer TO's a contest are 13-35 ATS since 2004.

San Antonio (-1, 189) at New Orleans 3:35E

Like all good teams, San Antonio has hit the pot hole in the road, throwing the alignment off, which has caused them to lose last two road games. It appears this should not be a deterrent from considering play on the Spurs, as road favorites off two or more consecutive losses, with a winning percentage of 60-75 percent are 32-14 ATS the previous three years.

Chicago (-2, 219) at Golden State 4:00E WGN

The Bulls are playing their best basketball of the season by far, winning four in a row and eight of last 11, covering the number an imposing nine times. Road teams like Chicago after beating the spread by 48 or more points total in their last ten games, against opponent going over the total by 18 or more points total in their last three outings are 25-8 ATS when the line is +3 to -3.

Phoenix (+2, 225) at Memphis 5:35E TNT

The Suns lead the NBA in scoring at 109.3 points per game, but have managed to lose the first three games on their road excursion. The last contest was particularly brutal, losing by 26 points at Charlotte and they will have one more chance to win one time on this trip. Teams scoring 103 or more points a game, who trailed by 20 or more points in their last game at halftime, are 32-10 ATS the next time out.

Dallas (+5, 197) at Boston 8:05E TNT

The Mavericks were blasted at Toronto 110-88 yesterday afternoon and have failed to cover the spread in four consecutive tries. This doesn’t set up well for Dallas as underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points, playing on back-to-back days, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), are 25-57 ATS.

Orlando (+6, 202) at L.A. Lakers 10:35 TNT

Last season Orlando had plenty of magic on the road, this year, not so much. They are off back to back losses to Denver and Portland by 18 and 15 points respectively. The Lakers on the other hand crushed the Clippers by 40 points Friday night, making exactly half their shots. Teams off blowout win by 15 points or more facing opponent after two straight blowout losses by 15 points or more are 13-33 ATS the last five seasons.

NBA Monday Systems

With college football taking a short sabbatical before the bowl games commence, the NBA will take a greater role in the minds of the public. We start a new week with increased focus on the hardwood and besides its comforting to know former NBA referee Tim Donaghy says he refused to make calls to affect games even if it meant he lost money and it angered those paying him. Thanks, Tim. Numbers from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Denver at Philadelphia (+6, 216)


The Nuggets have won three in a row and seven of last eight (6-2 ATS), with its top-ranked offense scoring at least 100 points in every single contest. Tonight is Denver’s second road tilt on a four-game trip and they are healthy road favorites. When a team is giving 3.5 to 9.5 points after a combined score of 205 points or more in four straight games, they are nicely profitable 30-11 ATS since 2005.

Portland at New York (-4.5, 203)

It not like the Trailblazers are not used to it, but at some point you have to wonder about big men in Portland. A generation ago, Sam Bowie was supposed to lead Portland and he suffered an injury-plagued career. Now Greg Oden is taking on the same characteristics, out again for the season, this time with broken left kneecap. Portland once again has to move on, however tonight is not the most favorable position. The Blazers stopped Houston 90-89 Saturday and teams that won last game by six or less points and face opponent that has scored 100 or more in four straight contests are 15-40 ATS the last 13 years.

Golden State at Oklahoma City (-7, 222)

There are positives building for the Thunder, sporting winning record (10-9) with a nucleus of young talent. One of Oklahoma City’s strengths in the first quarter of the season has been defense, allowing 95.4 points per game (7th). The last few games they have lost an edge on that end of the floor, allowing teams to break the century mark in three consecutive contests. In comes Golden State who ranks second in the NBA in scoring at 109.8 points per game. Here we find underdogs averaging 103 or more points a game on the season, facing opponent after allowing 100 points or more three straight games, are 38-15 ATS.

San Antonio at Utah (-1.5, 191.5)

As usual, the Jazz are among the best shooting teams in the NBA at 49.5 percent, second only to Boston. Utah shot the ball well in Minnesota on Saturday night, but was horrible defensively in allowing the Timberwolves to convert 57.1 percent of shot attempts in 108-101 defeat. This could benefit the Jazz tonight, as teams that shoot 48 percent or higher on the season, after a game allowing a shooting percentage of 55 percent or higher are 27-7 ATS, winning by over six points a game.

Happy Easter from 3Daily Winners

Happy Easter to Everyone

Thanks for even taking the time to check in off 2-1 day, I sincerely appreciate it. Hopefully the Eastern Bunny brings a few winners to you. Good Luck and have a SUPER DAY!

Free Baseball System-1) PLAY AGAINST road underdogs with a money line of +100 or higher like Toronto, who are a good AL hitting team (.285 or higher BA) against a team with a below average bullpen (ERA 4.50 or worse), who presently is a hot hitting team batting .333 or better over their last three games. This baseball system is 38-6, 82.9 percent and suggests playing on Cleveland, who is off to their worst start in 24 years, making one think of the original “Major League” movie with baseball’s favorite announcer Harry Doyle.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The New York Knicks are 15-3 ATS playing against a team with a winning record in the second half of the season.

Free Basketball Selection -3) The LCC likes New Orleans to get revenge on Dallas, though it should be noted all seven bettors had them at -2.5 or -3, not current figure.

Saturday Hoops Action and Opinion

Michigan State went on cruise control and failed to cover by 1.5 points, otherwise would have had a 3-1 day. I found an 80+ percent system today, but honestly I’m shaky with it myself the way the Knicks are playing. The Charlotte Bobcats continue to play exceptional basketball and are featured in today’s Top Trend. Sal has win 80 percent of NCAA Tournament plays (wish I was), including giving us two winners here and has another one on tap today. Good Luck.

Having lived in the Midwest for all but 5.5 years, I watched Big 10(11) basketball more than anything else. Like most people from that area of the country, I rooted for most of those teams and was disappointed when they lost.

My perspective has changed having moved and I prefer free flowing basketball. Watching Ohio State and Wisconsin last night, I was ready to scream. All the clutching and grabbing, it was like watching my artificial grass grow. This is why the San Antonio Spurs don’t get the credit they deserve, because they are SO BORING. I’m not saying I need to watch South Carolina play, since they didn’t play any defense, but at least have a flow to the game.

I’m not accusing all Big 10(11) teams of playing this way, as Michigan State is good and Purdue is also when they get away from certain teams, but rest assured, I might have to go out and buy Xavier jersey, just to root against Wisconsin and that eye-bleeding basketball.

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY ON underdogs of 10 or more points like the Knicks, after going under the total by 30 or more points total in their last three games, against opponent after going under the total by 54 or more points total in their last ten games. This delectable system is 30-6 ATS, 83.3 percent.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The Charlotte Bobcats are 12-1 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record in the second half of this season.

Free Basketball Selection -3) Sal was 3-1 yesterday, including his winner here, giving him 8-2 record in the tournament thus far. His favorite play today is the Washington Huskies.

Get Over the Hump Day and Lesson Learned

Going to call is 1-1-1 day for Tuesday, as the Utah trend opened as -15, I posted at -14.5 and it closed at -15.5 with the Jazz winning by exactly 15 points. We have another Top Trend that peeks at how the OKC Thunder performs in a unique spot this year. The Left Coast Connection (and I) got fooled into thinking Northeastern would have problems making 27 connections by air to Laramie. Paul Buck returns with a Free NBA play. Yesterday’s lone winner was a system play and we have an 84 percent play in one of the college tournaments in action tonight. Good Luck.

Sometimes we just do foolish things. For those that don’t get my free plays, I was having a horrible college basketball season, being down 20 games under .500 on Jan. 24. I vowed to get back to .500 and hopefully not have a losing season money wise. Just last week I was within two games of .500 and missed a couple over the weekend to be exactly at four games below. After spending three solid days of writing about college basketball, I looked at the college board Tuesday, looked at all the games and made three plays.

After finishing work, I went and looked back and found last year I made a total of eight plays outside the NCAA Tournament in college hoops and the year before five total. I realized then I had violated one of my principle wagering laws, betting on bad games and expecting good things to happen.

In almost every situation, the crowds are at best half full for these first games and most teams are disappointed to be playing in these. It’s kind of like an AAU atmosphere, just ballin’. I got what I deserved in losing all three plays, since I believe you have to love these games, not like them. You have to get to the quarterfinals of any of these goof-ball tourneys, where teams can see a championship in the future, now then is a good time to play along. I pass this along as public service.

Here are up to date figures for 3Daily Winners in the NBA.

# 5 - At The Sports Eye and Free Sports Monitor (season)
#1 - Last Week at Cappers Watchdog

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY ON road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points like Boise State, in a game involving two good shooting teams who convert 45 to 47.5 percent of their shots, in a game involving two average rebounding teams (+/- three rebounds). This system is a sweet 21-4 ATS, 84 percent the last three years; with the margin of victory just over eight points.

Free Basketball Trend -2) Oklahoma City is 17-3 ATS having lost two of their last three games this season.

Free Basketball Selection -3) The LCC got caught with their pants down on Wyoming yesterday. But not Paul Buck, who had Da Bulls and he’s on the New York Knickerbockers this evening.

Fingers Crossed by Bounce Back Friday

No sugar-coating it, we were waylaid yesterday with 0-3 record. Can’t change it or do much about it other than coming back today with winners. Actually have two tremendous systems in the NBA. Both are at 85.7 percent and Oklahoma City is the play on team, but with the line moving against the Thunder, due to Phoenix tough luck situation, the value is evaporating swiftly. The Knickerbockers are in sensational Top Trend look at home and new individual from the LCC has today’s Free Play. Good Luck.

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY ON all teams like the Denver Nuggets where the line is +3 to -3, who score 102 or more points a game, against a good offensive team like Chicago (98-102 PPG), after a win by 10 points or more. Sporting a 30-5 ATS record is an eye-catcher (sorry for Amare reference) at 85.7 percent and this season’s 5-1 mark helps support it.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The New York Knicks are 14-1 ATS after scoring 105 points or more three straight games.

Free Basketball Selection -3) Marty of the Left Coast Connection is 11-4 this week in college basketball and is using Penn tonight as his Best Bet.

3Daily Winners on 68.4 percent run on plays

The Lakers and Celtics matchup was an excellent contest, seemingly one of the 20-25 regular season games that is compelling in the NBA. A 2-0-1 Thursday moved us to 13-6-1 in recent days and we’ll see if we can continue our good fortune with the Knicks in a favorable position against Boston, based on the total of the game. Found a heck of a NBA system that is 87.1 percent over the last five years. Today’s Free Play won’t be late, I promise. Good Luck.

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY ON all teams like Utah, when the line is +3 to -3, who score 102 or more points a game against a good offensive team (98-102 PPG), after a win by 10 points or more. This system has +22.6 units of profit with 27-4 ATS record over the last five years.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The New York Knicks are 12-1 ATS in a home game where the total is 200 to 209.5 this season.

Free Basketball Selection -3) Sal is passing on college hoops, instead is playing Charlotte to continue winning against Atlanta.

Friday's NBA Betting Answers (Hopefully)

I had my doubts about yesterday’s system being a winner, with Weber State likely to be bored playing sad-sack Sacramento State and I was correct unfortunately. Hopefully we can turn this around and pound out a few more winners tonight. Actually today’s best NBA System yields two plays out of the same system, which is 83.9 percent. The Pistons are known for defense and Friday’s Top Trend backs that belief up. Good Luck.

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY AGAINST home teams after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points, are a marginal losing team (40 to 49 percent) playing a bad team with a win percentage in the 25 to 40 percent range. This system is scintillating 26-5 ATS (2-0 this year) and has two plays. This system calls to go against both Chicago and New York Friday night.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The Detroit Pistons are 12-1 ATS after allowing 85 points or less two straight games over the last two seasons.

Free Basketball Selection -3) No college plays from Mike, but I've been on a streak here and take Cleveland minus the points.
