Basketball Best Bets 173-157-4 for -9.2 Stars
I was 3-1 on my Thursday Best Bets, winning 2-Stars on Murray State, losing 2-Stars on Syracuse, barely winning 2-Stars on Baylor (they this the last two free throws to win by 8 as a 7 1/2 point favorite), and easily winning my 4-Star Best Bet on Indiana over New Mexico State.

I am now 173-157-4 on my Basketball Best Bets and 411-382-9 on a Star Basis (2-3 on 4-Stars, 61-62-1 on 3-Stars and 110-92-3 on 2-Stars) for -9.2 Stars at -1.10 odds. It's been a frustrating season, but I'm +491.5 Stars of profit the last 14 seasons and have averaged over 40 Stars of profit over my 24 years and thousands of Best Bets, which is more indicative of my future results than my 52% record so far this season.

Overcharge Note: It recently came to my attention that a bug in the programming caused some people to get logged out during payment, which resulted in charges of $20 instead of the member's rate of $15. If you noticed this on your credit statement then email me at bob@drbobsports.com and I credit back the overcharges to your card.

2010/2011 Season Results
Best Bets 442-375-16 on a Star Basis
I lost my 2-Star Best Bet on the Under but the win by Dallas resulted in a profit of +3.2 Stars on the series (2-Stars risked at +1.60 odds). I had Dallas rated as the best team in the NBA heading into the playoffs and that proved to be the case. In the playoffs I was 12-10 on Best Bets (despite losing a 5 point dog in OT), 14-9-2 on Strong Opinions, 16-21 on leans and 3-0 on Series Bets for +11.0 Stars (1 Star on Memphis over San Antonio for +3.3 Stars, 1.5 Stars on Dallas over the Lakers for +4.5 Stars, and 2 Stars on Dallas over the Heat for +3.2 Stars).

I had another profitable season of Basketball Best Bets despite losing more close games than I won (15-21 on Best Bets decided by 1 point or less). For the season I was 442-375-16 on a Star Basis (3-2 on 4-Stars, 59-53-2 on 3-Stars and 121-104-5 on 2-Stars and 3-0 on playoff series bets for +11.0 Stars) for a profit of +29.5 Stars at -1.10 odds. Had I gone 18-18 on those close games I would have profited another 14 Stars, so I'm satisfied with my level of handicapping despite not profiting as much as I usually do in Basketball.

Friday NBA 2 Star Best Bet
**Detroit (+5) over PHOENIX
07:05 PM Pacific - Rotation 817
Detroit has been underrated ever since their backcourt got healthy (Rodney Stuckey and Ben Gordon both missed time earlier in the season), as the Pistons have been on a 15-5 ATS run. Phoenix has also been playing well, going 9-3 ATS recently and winning and covering in each of the last two nights. Playing a 3rd game in 3 nights is not necessarily a negative since the line has been adjusted, and Steve Nash and Grant Hill were rested last night, but Phoenix does apply to a negative 26-67-1 ATS situation that is 1-20 ATS recently. The Suns are also covered just 1 of 7 games this season after consecutive wins and covers and they’ve covered only 1 of 3 after Steve Nash took a night off to rest – so resting Nash hasn’t really helped. My ratings favor Phoenix by just 4 points and I’ll take Detroit in a 2-Star Best Bet at +4 points or more based on the letdown situation that applies to the Suns.



Friday NBA Opinion
ATLANTA (-11) over Washington
Rotation #808– 4:35 pm Pacific
Washington is coming off a win last night at New Orleans, but the Wizards are just 7-31 ATS following a victory, including 2-7 ATS this season. My ratings only favor Atlanta by 10 points, which is where the line opened, but I’ll still lean with the Hawks at -11 or less based on Washington’s history of letting down after a win.
