I've followed the NBA since the 90s but have been betting professionally for 6+ years. We work to identify the situations/spots that give one team an advantage or disadvantage and live with the results of making a good bet.  Personally, the NBA is the easiest for me to identify edges. As a result, last season was the first year I gave volume betting a shot, and it was a success!  When you have an edge in a game, you bet it!
