I am no boneprone...but...
 

I just came off a great week betting. I am not trying to say that I am as good as bone, but I have selected some picks for tonight's basketball games. Last week I went 13/15 overall and increased my bank by over 550%. My betting levels are not anywhere near as high as bone and some others, but percentages are where the important focus should be placed anyway.

Now what you need to understand is that until last Thursday I knew NOTHING about sports betting. I am not saying that I am a wagering savant, not am I saying that I know a vast amount about the subject today. What I am saying is that with a little direction and by doing some homework a person can have a great deal of fun with sports betting.

I started out with only 3.3 betting units and my intention was to cycle the wining back into more bets that way I would have my initial investment protected. As of this writing I have 18.6 betting units including my initial 3.3. This is a 560% increase. And all of this was accomplished in 4 days.

With all of that said, if there is anyone who would like to know what bets I will be placing tonight keep reading.

NBA

Washington -8
Memphis -8.5
Milwaukee -5
Boston +7
Phoenix -13.5
Denver -13
Cleveland -1
Seattle -5.5

I decided to stay away from the Dallas / Indiana game because it looks like too much of a "coin flip".

Now, time will tell if these pay off, but for what it's worth these are my picks.

By the way, I am using SportsBook for my wagering. They seem like a pretty simple place to start out. They have a tutorial and live help for newbs.

Goo luck and I hope this helps someone.
