Let's make it productive on top of interesting. Try to post all the plays at once so I can have more time to cap than to administer. I appreciate your time and effort. GL Formatting is getting better gents but 1/4 of plays last night did not have an explanation, I do believe that is the purpose of this exercise/contest our friend Mavin has put together. Anyone can throw out plays and hit 50% but we want to be at 60% or better thus cash in your pocket. I've found listing my reasonings and trends has allowed me to limit my plays and therefore successful more often then not.

.....oh crap I'm not doing that well
Hey everyone look at all these other guys that are doing well in MY THREAD!!!
....oh crap they aren't doing that well either
Hey everyone look at how great I am at binary options!!!
This thread has officially jumped the shark, and has become useless. It was about following certain gambling principles to make money for you Mavin...now it is a clusterfu*k of about 20 different people posting random plays with barely any analysis. You defer the attention away from the ONE THING that this thread was created for (as much as you may want to deny it)....YOUR BETTING RECORD AND MAKING MONEY BETTING ON SPORTS.
Good day sir

#6556 Posted: 2/20/2013 1:32:32 PM Over 196.5 NO Hornets - CLE Cavaliers -
Just saw the Eric Gordon is a no go in this game - I will not be playing it anymore. Please see updated list below.
OKC Thunder -3
Purely a trend play on OKC not losing back to back games. Additionally, they have played Harden tough the previous two outings and I expect them to take it to Houston again tonight - even without Perkins. Under 187.5 PHI 76ers - MIN Timberwolves
Philadelphia has problems scoring and can't spread out the opponents defense without Young and Richardson playing. Minnesota gets Kirilenko back tonight who clogs up the paint even more and typically isn't an offensive threat. I have this game between 175 and 180.
Under 205 PHO Suns - GS Warriors
Phoenix is on the end of a back to back where they typically score between 90-95 points. I'm expecting a much better defensive showing by GS tonight at home which should keep Phoenix under 90. Golden State hasn't been shooting their typical percentage from 3pt land and if that keeps up tonight, I see this game between 190-195.

The month is not over yet and so far there has not been a losing month in my record. 2. You want to picture this thread as a losing one and yet - you will have to bet for years to achieve a positive record as Phixer did here or even the binary options that you're discrediting without even knowing what it's all about. 3. Your true nature is very well revealed by the poisonous comments you post under the righteous cover. 4. I did never invite you to this thread and never ever asked you to be part of any fragment of my daily conduct. 5. Once you'll grow up beyond your own frustrations and will really start to appreciate people making an effort to better themselves - and not only be busy feeding your own ego - that will be the day I will regard you as an equal worthy of taking seriously. Till then - mind your own business as I can also come to your threads anytime you have a losing game and discredit everything you do.

#6560 Posted: 2/20/2013 2:00:08 PM Tough loss yesterday for me with the Hornets , however instead of dwelling on it I would rather try and learn from it . Theres only two variables that I feel I did not factor in like I should have while handiccapping this game yesterday that i can think of .
1.The teams were both coming out of the all star break .
2. The chicago bulls had revenge factor on the hornets which i failed to apply yesterday .
My question to mavin and of course fellow followers of the thread is how much stock should i put on revenge factor in the nba as im willing to put a line through my first observation of the break as it applys to both teams so ill cancel it out . Mavin how much stock should i put on revenge games maybe not playing and staying away in the future ? |

MIA Heat -5.5
OKC Thunder -3.5
DET Pistons -3
TOR Raptors -1.5
MIL Bucks -4
The heat have done well in Atlanta, and with all this comparing LeBron to Jordan has gotten LeBron hungry to dominate and that is what has happened the last month.
Every trend is favoring rockets yet the thunder at such a small line has to be the pick cuz they seem to tear apart bad defense teams and the rockets seem to fall short against the elite.
Pistons have owned the cats, and this year done well against the bottom feeders. Bobcats just had a nice win in Orlando in will be satisfied with that and this game will most likely be a dud.
Raptors have done good at home vs the grizz and the raptors have been awesome on back to back. Rudy will be up for beating his former team.
Bucks will be out for revenge and nets are lousy b2b. |

Anyhow:
Fuzzrod (1-0)
MIA Heat -5.5
Miami has already beaten the Falcons twice this year by more than the spread... And Miami is always sort of a spot play for me... You never know when they're gonna be rolling or not. I think with all the rest from the all-star break they'll be focused and ready to come out and lay a butt whooping.
Hope the format is right and everything. Just lemme know if i'm doing anything wrong

Don't you think the line is a bit fishy. Probably first impression that you have when looking at this spread - "no way that Thunder will lose third in a row... no way that OKC will have ANY problems covering this..." Over 90% betors thinking this way... Line also moved for Thunder... I know it's scary to bet against Oklahoma, but I really believe that in this case "smart money" are on Houston! I'll wait and see if the line move a little bit more, but will probably pull the trigger on Rockets and the points.
BOL to ALL |

#6569 Posted: 2/20/2013 4:05:03 PM DAL Mavericks -10.5 HOU Rockets +3.5
- the hawks are 17-9 at home this season and have lost by 7 or more at home only 3 times this season.. i'll take my chances that with 7 days rest, the hawks will also be pumped to steal a big win as this game will be close throughout. - Dallas is facing Orlando who is on a back to back and is 3-25 SU in their last 28 games! Dallas already beat Orlando by 6 in Orlando as i expect Dallas to blow out Orlando being well rested and winning 4 out of last 5 at home. - the rockets are a pure line play as too much of the public is on OKC and the line is moving in the rockets direction.. rockets are also 18-8 on the season at home and should be more than focused, i'll take a chance. |

#6571 Posted: 2/20/2013 4:35:03 PM 2-2 total so far .. 2 wins on raps, 2 losses on Celtics
TOR moneyline vs MEM
5 game winning streak, still not getting the respect that the raptors deserve now with Rudy happy on the team, and this is his house now with his old team coming into town .. I'm going heavy on Toronto to win the game, playing it safe by not taking any points |
