Some prescribe to the back to back game scenerio betting where they fade a team playing for the second night in a row!  Other&#8217;s look to capatilize on teams playing their last game of a long road trip (more than 5 games) as an angle to play against.<!--more-->In this article I decided to through another angle into the mix where I looked at the quality of teams and how they faired versus the number in certain situations.  As an example, is there a profitable NBA pick when two bad teams or two good teams play each other?  Well, let&#8217;s take a look:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?capper\/capper\/320\/Michael%20Alexander\/AF23_15\"><strong>Click here NOW to view today&#8217;s Picks From Michael Alexander &#8212;-&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenerio #1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two Bad Teams Playing Each Other<a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1457\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"NBA Handicapping\" src=\"http:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ad\/N3175.Bet_US\/B2229139;sz=250x200;ord=[timestamp]?\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click Here\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s define a bad team.  In this analysis these would be teams who are winning less than 40% of their games on the season.  Over the last three seasons when two bad teams have met the road team has hit 54.6% ATS while the over has hit 53.5%.  Both coming in a slight money maker.  However, if the home team is an underdog in this matchup the road team has hit a profitable 59% versus the number while the UNDER becomes the play hitting 63.4%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenerio #2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two Good Teams Playing Each Other<\/p>\n<p>As with the first scenerio let&#8217;s first define a good team.  For the purposes of this article a good team is any team winning 60% of more of their games on the season.  In the same time span as above the home team has hit 56.2% while the under come in 56.4% of the time.  Refining our approach, if the home team is listed as a dog they have grabbed the cash 59.3% of the time while the under rocks to 62%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenerio #3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most profitable angle for Winning an NBA Pick<\/p>\n<p>With all of this said the most profitable angle to consider and gain an advantage is playing a home dog, two good teams, both coming off a win in their previous game.  The home team covered a whopping 63.4% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing #1 last season in the NBA, Michael Alexander has been red hot on the NBA Hardood hitting 70% of his selections!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?capper\/capper\/320\/Michael%20Alexander\/AF23_15\">CLICK HERE TO Join him again today he takes the books to school with more NBA Picks winners!
