OT: NBA on Proline

[arrow2knee]

wish i could call them cant find anything

[Yosemite Dan]

Where was it ever posted that Toronto would get NBA games because if it was gonna be on next week's sheet then they would of advertized it on this week's sheet and theres' nothing on there saying that NBA basketball is coming.

[MoneyMo]

Still nothing? We were deceived

[Guy Smiley]

Paging jim rockford...

Are you still around or did you get waived?

Gambling threads will never be the same without you.

[arrow2knee]

my friend said something went wrong with the nba i dont know how true it is.

[J Dilla]

they're still not up

[arrow2knee]

called proline and asked them they said they where in negotiations with the nba but could not share any other infromation, said there was never a agreement reached last year those where just rumours

[Sucka]

lol at the high school kids who are all waiting for nba on proline.

seriously, just go to pinnaclesports or any of the other big sites and bet there with way better lines ....... you could have been betting for the last 15 years You're going to get odds like 1.10 for Miami and 1.20 for Orlando on proline.......

If you're a serious gambler (which I would caution against anyway) stay away from Pro-line.

If you're doing it just for fun then by all means go for it, just keep the amounts small. Even $5 on games that would otherwise put you to sleep gives you a stake in the outcome, and a reason to watch or root for a team.

A lot of people think they're going to be clever and pick two easy mismatches and then 1 closer game to get around the difficulty of getting all three. Two problems with that:

1. Underdogs win more often than you may think, or at least keep matches close enough to earn a "tie".

2. I know in the past some really heavy mismatch games were not available at all to prevent people from picking easy winners.

You can have a positive edge against Proline if there are enough "stale" lines hanging ...... meaning they post point spreads for a day or 2 in advance and the line moves online/Vegas but it's locked in on Proline.

The thing is you need
1. a real bankroll .... not your paycheck or cigarette money
2. To look up and learn the definition of "KELLY CRITERION"
3. to have a lot of patience b/c you're going to mostly play 5 or 6 game parlays that even with your edge are only 4-7% likely to occur.

And **** it .... since I'm in such a generous mood I'm going to help a lot of you idiots not lose your ass. Just a word of warning - this is tedious as hell, is annoying as ****, and won't really make you rich. I can't be bothered to do this anymore since it's way too time consuming, but when I was in univ I would pound the hell outta college bball lines and NFL lines with the following method.

1. Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

Don't do anything else until you can understand. And you don't need to know higher order differential equations. The math is probably easy enough for some twat in an Arts program to understand.

2. Go here and compare their spreads against your Proline odds sheet: http://www.pinnaclesports.com/League/Basketball/NBA/1/Lines.aspx

3. If you find lines that are much different between the 2 sites, start plugging them into this online calculator:

http://www.sbrforum.com/betting+tools/half+point+calculator.aspx

Extract the Win Probabilities of all the stale lines (hover your mouse over)

4. You need to convert the probabilities of all of the games into a single probability and then compare it to the odds proline is going to pay you.

--- Best to do this by building a spreadsheet ....... it's not hard.

5. Calculate your Kelly stake

6. Curse your life out as you're filling out a bunch of pieces of paper and running to the 7-11 to get your ticket played before tip off.




For this to work you need to have a lot of games available .... if they're only posting odds on the day of the games, there won't be a big enough pool to snap off bad lines.

Chances are if you are diligent enough to do what I told you, you already know how to make money by exploiting an edge and also will move onto something else.

What kind of return did you used to get using this method?

Hi SDM, I was looking to get started at Proline or something similar. Any tips on how to start?

[DUNPHY]

You can make quite a bit of money on Proline if you know what you're doing. I've seen people support families on Proline.

I hope it isn't their main source of income?

It's hard to believe that people that smart are dumb enough to give away a lot of their profit to proline...
