At my betting agency the deadline for betting on Wednesday NBL games is 7.44PM AEST, and the games usually start on FoxSports at about 7.40/7.41 so that gives you 2 or 3 minutes to watch the game and get a feel for the match.

I did this last week, it was a Saturday when Kings played the Hawks. Kings scored first so I had a small bet on them. Paid off but might have been lucky.

So today I had a small bet on Cairns as they scored first. Let's see how I go.

Current score: 14-9 to Cairns.
