How realistic are you regarding your winning percentages on your NBA picks? What kind of expectations do you have? If you think that you should be winning more than 60% of the time, then you are grossly overrating your abilities as a gambler. A profitable sports bettor knows that his NBA betting line will not bring him more than a 60% winning percentage long term. It just won’t happen. You might be able to maintain a higher margin for a short period of time, but it won’t happen long term. 55% is actually a good number for someone who knows how to manage their bankroll and make good NBA picks.

With any form of betting comes winning streaks and losing streaks. Not every pick will be a good pick. However, if you stay consistent in your bets and don’t give up, you should be able to obtain a winning percentage of 55-60% and come out ahead. Betting on sporting events cannot be judged by your daily winnings. You must allow for error and evaluate yourself in the long-term, preferably a year or more. If you can do this, manage your bankroll wisely, and make good picks, then you will be successful at betting on the NBA games.
