Matchup Handicapping for the NBA: 2011-2012 NBA PICKS

NBA picks will start in about 2 weeks once there is enough team data to accurately rate the teams.

Welcome to Matchup Handicapping for the NBA

I created this blog site to provide solid NBA handicapping information in a format devoid of sales gimmicks, boasts, spin and excuses. The information is straightforward and here for all to see and use. Matchup Handicapping is a patient strategy that aims to beat the NBA pointspread 54-58% of the time over an entire season. The season long investment strategy is not to be confused with a "get rich quick" scheme.

Matchup Handicapping uses short term and season-to-date power ratings to develop a matchup between two rated opponents and then studies how similarly rated matchups have performed historically versus the spread. Teams are rated as being either in improving, declining or steady performance mode. Improving means short term performance is markedly better than season-to-date, declining means short term performance is markedly worse than season-to-date and steady means short term performance is consistent with season-to-date. I am looking for value in the matchup, not value in the line.

The betting lines used in my daily picks are the prevalent line among a group of offshore books taken during the afternoon, Eastern standard time, and may not agree with the closing lines.

Successful wagering on NBA contests can reap large investment returns, but gambling on sporting events is only legal under certain circumstances. Please note I do not encourage or condone any illegal wagering activities. Anyone choosing to gamble is responsible for doing it in a legal manner. This is not a gaming site.

Feel free to e-mail me with any comments. Nice to have you on board.
