## Summary

This video presents a sports betting strategy for NBA games that aims to double your money by 'middling' totals. The method involves betting both the over and under on the same game at different lines to create a range where both bets can win.

### Key Points

- **Strategy Overview** [00:00] — The strategy involves two easy steps to double your money in the NBA using totals betting.
- **Step 1: Scan for High Totals** [00:13] — Look for NBA games with a total of 240 or higher. This is a live betting strategy.
- **Monitor Line Fluctuations** [00:43] — After the game starts, monitor how the live total fluctuates. You need to track your initial bet.
- **Example of the Strategy** [01:00] — If you bet over 240 and the total rises to 252, you can bet under 252. This creates a 12-point range where you cannot lose a unit and have a chance to win both bets (a middle).
- **Importance of -110 Odds** [02:05] — Both bets should ideally be at -110 odds. Betting at higher odds increases potential loss if the middle is not hit.
- **Alternative Scenario** [02:49] — If you bet the under and the total drops, you can bet the over at a lower line, creating a middle.
- **Key to Success** [04:00] — The bigger the gap between your two bets, the higher the chance of hitting a middle. A 10-15 point range is recommended, but larger gaps are better.

### Conclusion

The strategy involves betting both sides of an NBA total at different lines to create a middle where you can win both bets. Success depends on finding games with high totals, monitoring live lines, and betting at -110 odds.

## Transcript

Let's jump into how you can double your money in the NBA with totals [music] in just two easy steps. So, first step of what you're going to want to do is any day that there is a whole slate of NBA games, you want to direct your
you are going to scan the slate on the totals for games that are 240 or higher. been able to scan the slate, now this is going to be a live betting strategy. So
be doing this at the same sports book. First, when the game starts, you're Whatever the line is that the game starts at, now you're going to be
monitoring this game to see how that line fluctuates. Cuz in the NBA, once the game goes off, the live totals start fluctuating depending on if they start 250. So, what you need to keep track of though is exactly what you bet to start.
So, for example, let's say that you took the over 240 to start the game. As the game progresses and the game goes on, you are looking for a 10 to 15 point differential of the opposite bet that you put in. So, that game starts out,
243. They miss some shots. It goes down to like 237, but you took the over to start. Now, what you're looking to do is for them to run and come out the gate
to get a higher number. Now, let's say that they are firing on all cylinders. That total goes from 240 in the first 6 minutes, goes up to about 250, 252. Now,
the under. So, let's say under 252. So now you got over 240 and a half and you got under 252. So during the game now, no matter what, you're not going to lose
a unit. But now you have about a 12point range to where you could hit a middle bet and you can win both bets, which would be doubling your money. So that is the goal of this strategy of what you want to do. Now, if you don't hit that
ideally you're betting these pretty much at minus 110. So when the game starts, you're taking the overunder at - 110. And then when you're taking that live bet, which is usually - 110 as well. Now, that might have been a little bit
kind of itemize this a little bit. So make sure you scan your sports books. Look for the totals in the NBA for 240 or higher. Now, you're going to have two cuz you're going to be doing it live. Take the bet over under to begin the
where let's say you took the over and right out the gate these guys can't make diving. But most of the time you're able to get two separate bets here. The game
starts you pick over under and you're betting the opposite of that when you find a line on that total that falls in that line about 10 to 15 points from Saying that you started the game and you took the under total opened up. You got
drop. So let's say that line drops. The end of the first quarter, it was decent. It's still hovering that like 237 range. They had an average first quarter. started to drop. Gets down to 232. Now you would be taking the over. So you
took over 228. Now you have over 228 and under 240. So now again, you're getting bets. It's very crucial to make sure that you are betting the minus 110
because if you're betting anymore and you don't hit that middle, then your small percent that you know you're going to lose will grow if you're not on those minus 110 bets on each side. But if you somehow take a total on this side that's
like - 160 and you open it up and took a total that was - 110, then no, you could occur a decent size loss if you don't hit that middle. But you are looking for a middle and a wedge of about 10 to 15 points in between those numbers that
explained it to you guys, but it is more simple when you are looking at it. Basically find the total, watch the game live. You're betting both sides and then remember when using this strategy that the bigger the gap that you create, the
more chance that you are going to hit a middle. So, I did give you a range of about 10 to 15, but it doesn't stop there. There are some games in rare bigger the gap the higher the chances are that you are going to meet that
