[NBA] Guru Weekly Best Bets

Season Results
The NBA Guru was 1-1 on his Tuesday Best Bets, losing 2-Stars on Cleveland +2 for the 1st half and winning 2-Stars with Chicago -2 (won by 4). The NBA Guru is now 29-17-1 on Best Bets and 62-37-2 on Stars since January 24th. 

The NBA Guru is 114-97-5 for the season on his Best Bets (43-33-2 on Sides, 40-48 on totals, 20-9-3 on 1st half sides and 11-7 on 1st half totals) and 251-214-11 on a Star Basis (23-20-1 on 3-Stars and 91-77-4 on 2-Stars) for +15.6 Stars at -110 odds. Although it proved a very rough beginning to the season (a low of -24.7 Stars) but things have turned around as hoped.

NBA Guru Last Season
Best Bets 148-115-2 (315-243-4 on a Star Basis) for +47.7 Stars
The NBA Guru finished a solid first season with Dr. Bob Sports by cashing in on 2 Best Bet winners in game 7 of the NBA Finals. The Guru had a 2-Star Best Bet win on San Antonio +3 for the 1st half (down by 2 at half) and a 2-Star Best Bet win on Under 188 1/2 points.

The NBA Guru ends the season at 148-115-2 on his Best Bets (81-63-1 on totals, 38-31 on sides, 18-13 on 1st half sides and 11-8-1 on 1st half totals) and 315-243-4 on Stars (19-13 on 3-Stars, 129-102-2 on 2-Stars) for +47.7 Stars of profit at -1.10 odds.
 
NBA Guru Past Performance
I concentrate on picking sides and spend little time evaluating totals, as most of my longer term clients already know, . I realize that totals can offer a lot of value and I have been following a handicapper in recent years whose strength is NBA Totals. Fresh off a good 2012-12 season, The NBA Guru has had a great year.

In the last 3 seasons the NBA Guru has posted a 568-467-16 (55%) record on all NBA plays rated 2-Stars or higher, which is all he released to his clients at Dr. Bob Sports this past season (he formerly had 1-Star plays). Part of that record includes 2nd half plays and quarter lines, which are only 110-98-7, and were not part of his service with Dr. Bob Sports. That is definitely not a bad record but it is not good enough to justify the inconvenience that goes along with playing in game lines. So, in game bets are not part of his service anymore.

The NBA Guru has been particularly good at full game and first half plays (sides and totals), which are now 458-369-11 (55.4%) winners, and those are the plays being offered with this service at Dr. Bob Sport
