Too Early to say, but im fairly certain they wont win the whole thing. Not deep enough for me, but its easy to say when its not my money. Proceed with caution.

Not sure if this is a fake post or not due to the amount you want to bet and wondering whether it is good to bet in the NBL.
I think the NBL is good to bet on as there is more consistent results however usually its better to bet on the Line if you know what you are doing. As with all sports betting you should have a good understanding of the league/players/teams/habits etc.
Blaze could certainly win it but I wouldn't bet that sort of money unless I was very rich as NZ and Perth all have a good chance of winning it also.
Remember at the end of the day the bottom team could beat the top team, that is the beauty of sports. So bet wisely.

I'd be surprised if any sportsbook would be willing to take 2k on any NBL bet.

I'd be putting your $$$ on NZ. Once they pick up another import they will be hard to stop.

of course agencies would take 2k on nbl. tab sportsbet they all do. they take 30k every day on different stuff.
i might wait and see who this nz import is any anyway if anym i can crush back on that 2k blaze bet during the finals series and win both ways..
i have gone ok in nbl betting in the past. i agree with you line betting is the best.
my best bet this year is having 500 on blaze line wen they beat perth in perth with 8.5 start. picked up 950 whilst my worst bet was blaze halftime fulltime v cairns when we won but down at half time.
taught me a lesson. dont take the half time score.
agree?

I know a guy from Bendigo who bet $1000 that Hawthorn would not make the finals this year. It's only ever happened twice b4 the reigning champs miss the finals the next season. He got $1000 to 1. He picked up a cool million.
The Blaze could win it but 6 to 1 is not good enough odds.

as if he got odds of 1000 to 1 for that. it wouldve been 80 to 1 max.

After round 12 sportsbet offered him $100,000 to settle the bet. Remember it was only the last game of the year that bundled the Hawks out & they were leading at half time. This guy held his nerve & cleaned up. It's a true story donkeykong!

Thats a crazy story about the Bendigo guy!
Someone put $100,000 on Tiger Woods to win that Melbourne Tournament and ended up winning $170,000 from it.
I agree betting on half time/full time winners is tough unless its a dominate team at home that will win both halves but you would only win a small amount back.
At the end of the day, only bet what you don't mind losing.
