NBA Best Bets Tuesday October 29th
+9units through 6 days NBA came to a rest on day 7 as I finished -2.85u 😢. I was lucky enough to spot a middle where two lines with +value were available at the same time PHX -4/LAL +5.5. A few hours prior to tip off and played them both at the same time, with no weight to either side, 1unit on both and hoping the books were right. They were! Suns by 4, win one push one. Thats still called a Fiddles Middle because value of push numbers are very much calculated into these strategies.
Another live show tomorrow at 12PM ET. Tuesday and Wednesday every week professional poker player Drew Johnson is my guest. Here is the link for tomorrow’s show - I hope you guys start to make this part of your daily handicap this season. We review every side/total on the slate, address what our specific bets were, what we still think is playable, and answer questions from the chat.
As of now here were the plays I released in the Whop for Tuesday’s 4 game NBA slate. Of the eight teams playing, five of them are back to back sets. I think its so early in the season to not be super concerned with late scratches, but even so I think the numbers are pretty sharp and only found two plays. I definitely will be aware of positive middles popping up when pregame lines start moving closer to tip.
Pelicans I took at -1.5 when the Wiggins news broke. I grabbed it within 3 minutes of Kerr reporting Wiggins was likely out. We know Curry was definitely out, and no Wig too?! Tough spot vs the Pelicans who we knew pre pricing were missing Murray and Murphy, and also might have Zion off the minutes restriction against a small ball lineup… good luck with that.
