RBD breaks down a Brooklyn vs Philadelphia total pick using his proprietary T1 and T2 betting models, highlighting a rare matchup signal for bettors.
When the Wolves and Warriors game went Over last night my T1 system improved to a record of 45-23.
That’s just one game short of 67% with almost 70 games in the database.
Remarkable.
I never guarantee picks but I CAN guarantee this – while other ‘cappers may have also picked the game to go Over not one did so using the same handicapping system I used.
The mathematical models I employ are unique.
I developed them myself, over the course of many years, based on what I learned while running a sports book, my experience as a bettor, and my ability to think outside the box.
Thinking outside the box, looking at things from a unique angle, is an ability I’m glad I possess.
Usually it’s a good thing, but not always.
Here’s an example of when it may not be.
There are different techniques that coaches use to try to get into the heads of opposing players, to throw them off their game.
You’d think that most of them have been tried by now but, no.
I, Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius, came up with a new one.
A not-so-well known example of a coach calling a play to get into an opposing player’s head is when a high school basketball coach had one of his players drop to the floor, get on his hands and knees, and start barking like a dog.
Stunned members of the opposing team stopped playing defense and looked at the crazy kid while his teammate scored an easy, uncontested basket (it’s out there on the internet if you don’t believe me.)
A more popular example of this is when a coach calls a timeout in the final seconds of a game in which a place kicker from the opponent’s team is about to attempt a field goal that will either win or lose the contest.
I was watching a basketball game the other day when I had an idea, unique, never tried before, a way to distract another player and throw him off his game.
The score was tied.
There was only one second left on the clock.
A player was on the free-throw line to attempt one last shot, one that would either win the game or send it into OT.
And I had a thought.
The player from the opposing team who stood closest to the free throw shooter had an excellent opportunity to distract him.
After the shooter dribbled the ball a couple of times, looked up at the basket, and was about to make his shot, the player from the other team should have reached his arm out towards the shooter, pointer finger extended, and calmly said, “Pull my finger.”
A unique strategy?
Sure.
A strange strategy?
Okay, I’ll give you that.
But, as for distracting the opponent, it would have a better chance of success than when a coach calls a timeout before a field goal attempt, which never seems to work.
But I digress. Vastly. (And bizarrely.)
I can’t help it. That’s the way my mind works sometimes.
I’m stuck with it. And today you are too.
Sorry.
It’s probably a good idea at this time to get back to tonight’s game, yes?
Short and sweet:
- T1 says Brook/Phil goes Over.
- T1 is 45-23 on Overs.
- T2 also says the game goes Over.
- T2 Over is just slightly profitable at 58-51.
But…
- When I have a match, when a game qualifies as an Over for both models, the record is 10-4 (71%).
- The game also qualifies for the subcategory that is 30-13 (69%).
Slight caveat though – it’s a Saturday morning game. I’m not sure how T1 performs on Saturday mornings.
I’ll go through my logbook to find out, but it’ll take a lot of time and since it’s an early game I want this posted on the homepage as soon as possible so readers can get a chance to see it before tip off.
If I find anything significant on Saturday play I’ll add it to the Forum section.

Review
On Tuesday I had three T1 Overs and didn’t bet any of them because of conflicting standard stats that pointed to the Under.
After the final scores came in my decision to not make any bets had me thinking sarcastically, “Smooth move, Ex-lax,” as the plays went 2-1 and I missed out on making a profit.
On Thursday I again had three games that qualified for the T1 Over spot.
I vowed to not make the same mistake twice.
And I went 3-0.
(Also banged my Kid’s Ball Under play for a perfect 4-0 night.)
NEXT!
On Friday I AGAIN had three spots that qualified.
I didn’t play them, for reasons I explained in the PredictEm Forum.
The play went 2-1, another winning night.
Next?
