About NBA odds

The tips here on NBA (or any other two sided sports with a spread) are priced 1.9. This is because the site i am placing my tips on (OLBG) doesn't offer all of the bookies prices and you cant get anything better than 1.9. However, most of you should be wary as these odds are almost unbeatable long term. Provided we have no extra knowledge than the one we get from following form, trends and injuries beating odds 1.9 on a two sided match is impossible and will fail in a long term. Thus my suggestion about these types of bets is to either get them with a bookie that takes a minimal percentage juice (Pinnacle) or get it at an exchange (Betfair). Given how basketball odds are very volatile on the exchanges i might even wait for a while (say a 6 point 1st qtr lead for the team i don't think will win) and then place the bet in running.
Don't get slaughtered by the odds, you can be the slayer and ride them to steady profits.
