Betting on the NBA - Key Numbers Happen

I want to talk to you about the occurrence of crucial numbers in the NBA. When we first started our investigation we were unconvinced that we might determine key numbers in the NBA the same as we did in football. With football, there are two main ways in which teams will score, by field goals or touchdowns. And barring missed extra points which take place very rarely, this means points increase by margins of 3 or 7 in most cases. This provides a grand likelihood to locate statistical advantages.

But what about in the NBA? There's no big jump like 3 points to 7 points or 7 points to 7 more points like in the NFL. You can have free throws (1 point), regular baskets (2points), or three-pointers (3 points). Yet more distressing is the variation in the amount of scoring chances that take place in the two sports. In football games, each team generally scores between 3 and 6 times, with a combination of field goals and touchdowns. Opportunities abound for us to find well-defined patterns.

In the NBA teams commonly average between 75-85 field goal attempts and the free throw attempts typically fall in the 20-30 range for each team. That's well over 200 opportunities between the two teams combined to put points on the board. For serious bettors it's enough to make your head spin!

But we amazed even ourselves when we found out that in fact there are key numbers in basketball. The first, and maybe the most apparent, is the number 2. This is the number by which point increases happen most often in basketball, and in that respect 2 is to basketball as 3 and 7 are to football. (That's just in case you ever have to take the S.A.T. exams again!)

But it may surprise you to find out that the most common 'fall-on' number in the NBA (the number of the final margin of victory) is in fact … 7! When you think about it, there is some sense in this. Seven constitutes a three possession game, which can put the actual won/loss result out of reach and teams will normally stop fouling in the closing seconds if they can't tie it up with two possessions or less.
Not coincidentally, 7 is also one of the key numbers in my NBA system. There are other numbers that come about with high occurrence and there are also numbers that oddsmakers put in that make it either easier or more complex for favorites to cover. You don't need to do all the investigation yourself. Instead you can take a look at my statistical betting system.

The key to winning basketball wagering is to figure out these key numbers and the reason behind them before anyone else does. This gives you a huge benefit going into a slate of basketball games. This benefit can make the change of a slight percentage point in your won-loss percentage, which is so vital when 52.7% is the percentage you must attain to turn a profit when betting on football or
basketball.

Good luck with all your bets this season and don't forget the NBA has key numbers just like in football!
