Top Things To Hate About Betting Basketball🤬

[baz]

I bet college hoops on 3 separate days went 1-4, FTs were the determining factor in 4 of the losses. Not suggesting foul play but why would I want the refs deciding the game one way or the other? Doesn't matter to me if hoops are rigged or not, the refs are typically deciding my bet. I prob won't even bet the NBA Playoffs this year cuz I am truly just disinterested in the NBA or any other hoops league.

Made my largest Live wager in months yesterdsy

Had the under with 13 points to spare with approximately 1 minute left

Looked like guaranteed lock

One team up over 20pts too

What proceeds to happen is BOTH things I mentioned in Post #1

Scrubs come in trying to get points, AND they are fouling each other every possession

Again, there was barely 1 minute left in this game

In seconds my 13pts to give is down to 4 and it doesn’t look good

One team even actually hits a 3pointer at the buzzer

Fortunately I end up winning the wager by 1 point

I try to stay away from China & a few other European leagues who are mimicking their game after the NBA these days

What were the odds at that moment for the under ?

What were the odds at that moment for the under ?

-105

I believe I made it at +100 and it changed & accepted (I rarely take -money on live wagers)

 

[Wagerallsports]

What were the odds at that moment for the under ?

To be clear, I made the wager early in the fourth-quarter and when it got down to one minute left, I still had 13 points to spare

I didn’t make the wager last minute lol

The total isn’t available anymore at 3:00 mark

UNC down 2 with a second to go. Guaranteed Nelson intentionally missed both free-throws as the game was over, zero ability for UNC to score again. That should trigger an investigation by the NCAA and gaming regulators should it not?? HE SHAVED THE POINTS. I had zero invested in the game and have no idea what the lines were so my give a shit is zero but the powers that be cannot pick and choose what's a deliberate miss and what's not.... my 2cents.

You might want to check out the highlights.
#1 ) How exactly is he point shaving when ALA was +4.5?

#2) What happens if that heave at the end wasn't blocked by Nelson & miraculously goes in & UNC wins by 1?

Lost a crusher this morning to overtime

Team up by 6pts with only 40 seconds left

Opposing team hits a 3pointer to cut the deficit to 3pts

Winning team misses and team down by 3 has opportunity to tie now with seconds left

They drain ANOTHER 3 before buzzer to tie and send it to overtime

Which brings me to yet another thing to hate about betting basketball

When you are up by that many points with seconds left, everyone in the world knows the other team needs 3pointers

So why...why...why do they even let them get one off?
Every defender should be protecting top of the key.
If they score an easy 2 because of it, oh well so be it, it's better than the 3, and now they will intentionally foul and send you to the free throw line to seal it

So does this fall on the coaches, or players???

 

[Wagerallsports]

A new basketball season upon us and I’m already reminded how I cannot stand these teams, players, and coaches who continue to intentionally foul over & over again when they are down double digits and under a minute left

 

[jjgold]

its fukkin murder
never watch games you bet

 

[Tanko]

its fukkin murder
never Always watch games you bet

Fixed it for you JJ.
How are you going to learn from the bad bets unless you watch the games?
Getting more information always is a good thing.

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I just run the numbers. So far, so good.

NBA: 22-10-1, +8.76u

But it’s fukkin EARLY in the season.

I wouldn’t last a week coaching college basketball before losing my cool with those kids

If you are up 5-10 points with a minute or two left, all you have to do is 1. DO NOT FOUL the other team and put them on the line giving free points while also stopping the clock and 2. Protect the 3pt line

Yet you see it regularly and coaches are on the sidelines pulling their hair out & throwing their hands up yelling at these kids “I said don’t foul!”

Same thing applies when you are losing by only 1-2 possessions with 1minute or less left in the game. DO NOT FOUL force them to make a shot so you have a chance to cut into the lead.
If they make the shot so what at least they beat you and you didn’t beat yourselves by awarding them a free trip to the line to seal it

There was a youtube video a month ago of a kid getting an inbound pass, taking 1 dribble and heaving a buzzer beater for the longest 3 of his life.

It's like these kids only have this video (with a 0.01% shot hitting) in their mind, and forget everything they ever learnt about playing defense.

You gotta remember most of these kids are so dumb. They can’t add 10+10.

kids with no NIL are betting the games.
