NBA Betting Totals Home

Home-Away courts have little to do with gambling, or at least that's what they think. There aren't a lot of gamblers that take into consideration that NBA teams often play differently depending which court they are playing. Teams will have different personalities when they are playing at home, as opposed to playing on the road. A smart bettor will study how teams perform in front of their home fans and how they do away from the friendly confines of their home arena. There are teams that try to put on an offensive show when playing at home and concentrate on defense more during away games, while other teams will do quite the opposite.

There are also teams that play almost the same no matter which city they are in. Knowing the tendencies of each team can give you an advantage and even add a few bucks to your bankroll, especially inNBA betting totals. The Differences of Home and Away Back in the 2006-2007 season, there were 16 teams that showed an average difference of four or more total points between their Home games and their games during on the road or during Away games. Using Detroit as an example, the Pistons outscored the opposition by an average score of 96-92 in all of their home games, for an average of 188 total points. On the occasion that Detroit was on the road, the Pistons outscored the opposition by an average score of 94-89, an average of 183 points. As we noticed, there's a 5 point differential between Detroit's home and away games.

In this case, we're looking for differences for four or more points between home and away performances and we will bet totals accordingly. In the case of the Pistons, we would look to bet over the total when the Pistons were playing at home and look to bet under when Detroit in on the road. The Pistons managed to go over in 26 of their 47 home games and under in 31 of their 47 away games last season and that includes the playoffs. A person will have a 53.7% winning wagers if he wagered accordingly on all 16 teams. Shopping for lines in different sportsbook sites will slightly improve the chances. The rosters in NBA changes often so NBA betting requires quite an effort if you wish to be successful in it. Simply wait until January of the season to start since by then teams would have played a number of home and away games and some trends will began to emerge.
