Betting the NBA under totals since the All-Star Break worth a fortune

In a game bereft of defense, the NBA has seen a bizarre turn since the All-Star break, with under totals going a head-scratching 61-25-1.

For those betting on the unders, they are hitting at an over 70-percent rate, and there have been three perfect days when betting the under.

If a bettor parlayed $100 on every day (11 days) since the All-Star break, they would have wagered $1,100 but they also would have won three huge parlays. X account @mikeroccovioli calculates that the bettor would be up $140,010.23 if they nailed those three parlays.

NBA games went under the total by 12.3 points per game on Sunday, the Action Network reports.

The biggest discrepancy of the day on Sunday was the Clippers-Timberwolves slugfest.

An old-school slobberknocker resulted in 89-88 victory for the Clippers and 177 total points, that is despite the total of the game coming in at 220 on Caesars Sportsbook.

The 8-0 showing on Sunday would have been a parlay of these totals:

76ers/Mavericks under 237 (-110) + Warriors/Celtics under 231 (-110) + Clippers/Timberwolves under 220 (-110), Hornets/Raptors under 223 (-110) + Pistons/Magic under 217.5 (-110) + Knicks/Cavaliers under 208.5 (-110) + Spurs/Pacers under 244.5 (-105) + Thunder/Suns under 232.5 (-105).

The eight-game parlay would’ve had odds north of 180/1, and the $100 bet would’ve won $18,353.87.

Two other days saw similar dominance for those betting unders, including Feb. 24, though that was just a three game slate of games.

Sunday Feb. 25 had a massive 11-game slate with the under going 11-0 in those games.

Sportsbooks will likely adjust quickly, despite public support.

The Action PRO report suggests that 99 percent of early money is on under 225 in the Bucks vs. Clippers Monday night tilt.
