Without a doubt, no sports league has grown more in popularity over the last fifteen years than the NBA. Combine that spike in overall interest to the new world of legal sports gambling and you have an explosion of new NBA bettors. The NBA was one of the first sports I bet professionally when I first moved to Las Vegas over twenty years ago. At that time, you’d only find a handful of NBA bettors hanging around the books on a nightly basis. Personally, I have been betting the NBA successfully for over two decades. College and Pro Basketball are staples of building my profit each year and we will begin that climb this week with the start of the 2022-23 NBA Season.
Hop on social media and you will see a ton of newbies talking about their NBA success and how they did the night before. There are plenty of services out there that tout their football prowess and after they’ve cost you money, they will tell you, oh yeah, by the way we also do NBA. Not KrackWins. The true test of medal is to track a large sample size. Since I started KrackWins over 3 years ago, members have gone 609-436 (58.2%) on NBA plays. While totals have made up the majority of my plays, we have recently added more and more player props to our arsenal. Of course, I also bet a few NBA futures before the season, which are being released to my premium subscribers this week.
NBA Sports Betting Tips
This year could be as exciting as any ever. In the East, the Nets, Sixers, Celtics, Bucks and Heat all have legitimate title aspirations. In the West, the Warriors look to go back to back while the Suns look to erase a horrible close to their #1 seed regular season. Add to that mix, teams that have stars coming back from injury – the Clippers get 2-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard back in the mix to add with Paul George and newly acquired John Wall. Next big thing Zion Williamson is back from his knee injury for the Pelicans and rising stars Michael Porter, Jr. and Jamal Murray return to the Nuggets joining two time MVP Nikola Jokic. New faces on up and coming teams – Donavon Mitchell in Cleveland, Rudy Gobert in Minnesota – make the league even deeper. And don’t forget about the Lakers and their collection of stars, has-beens and misfit toys. Every night in the NBA brings something different.
Bankroll Management is Crucial
Bankroll management and staying disciplined is always important, but even more so in the NBA where 30 teams playing an 82 game schedule = 1230 games a year. With a lot of action to be had each night, you will need a good understanding of your overall bankroll and, in turn, what your standard bet will be based on the balance.
Player Injury and Rest Information
Stay Informed on player injury and rest/load management updates. The NBA, more than any other league, is = driven by its stars. Because of that, players are granted much more latitude when it comes to taking nights off. These decisions are key to determining the value on a possible play. Injury and load management announcements are often not made until just hours before game time. We always stay apprised of injuries and scheduling abnormalities that could lead to rest of key players.
Volume = Opportunity
The beauty of the NBA is that there are 30 teams, playing 82 games this season. That means you get a lot of information on teams that you can apply to a lot of action over the course of the season. How certain teams play and defend against other teams comes into play, as teams will face each other multiple times over the course of a season. These are advantages you just don’t get in football. The advantage in my totals exist from game 1 to game 82. It is very important to follow my bankroll management scale, as we will have action almost every single day. Stay disciplined and remember that it’s a marathon not a sprint. Keep that in mind and we will help you win in the NBA this season.
