Should follow a professional handicapper for NBA predictions for the 2012-13 pro basketball season? That's the wrong question to be asking. The right question is, "Do you want to increase this season's odds of making money with NBA sports betting?" If your answer to that question is yes, then the only remaining question is "How do I choose the best NBA picks?" The following questions can help you find the best sports handicappers to get your NBA weekly picks from.
What's Their Reputation?
When it comes to NBA predictions, accuracy is important. Yet the most important element of any business relationship - and this will be a business relationship - is honesty. There are plenty of NBA betting review sites and discussion forums where you can get information about the various online NBA predictions gurus. Do your homework and make sure that the handicapper from whom you're thinking of getting your NBA picks has a reputation for honest relationships with customers.
What's Their Record?
Once you're certain that you'll actually get the NBA weekly picks you pay for, your next criteria is the handicapper's accuracy. Figure out their track record for winning NBA predictions. Don't just buy the hype they post on their own website - look for independent corroboration. You're looking for their long-term record in making winning NBA picks, not just the last eight or ten games. Trends are nice, but that's not a track record. Remember, you're looking specifically at their record for NBA betting picks. Keep in mind that many services are much better in one sport than they are in others.
Finally, you're looking for a winning percentage of at least 55 percent in NBA picks. If you find someone with a 60 percent track record or better - and you can confirm that it's accurate - add them to your list.
What's Their Longevity?
Sports selections are a big business, and like any business where a lot of money changes hands, you'll get a lot of guys who throw up a website and offer free NBA picks and weekly NBA picks for a price. Many shutter their sites before the end of the season - or shortly thereafter. It's not hard and fast, but most experts recommend that you stick with sports handicappers that have been around for at least three years - and many suggest you look for even more history. It's a simple rule of thumb - you can't stay in business for very long if you're not doing something right.
How Do They Make Their Selections?
Obviously, you can't expect a sports handicapper to give away trade secrets, but you should be able to figure out his philosophy and what kind of information the service uses in making NBA picks and NBA betting predictions. The best NBA betting picks are those that give you a brief explanation of why they're making specific NBA predictions. With that information in hand, you can make your own judgments and determine how well the service's betting philosophy fits with yours.
These are just a few of the questions you'll want to ask before you sign up with a service that offers NBA predictions and NBA weekly picks. You need to be sure you're working with a good, reputable, and accurate NBA betting picks service.
