I don't have much time to nurse here anyone. And besides that gentleman from a ridiculously big thread has already done a great job. I will only drop few plays here from time to time. Not everyday. Or may be once or twice a day. As I already read in that gentleman's thread - you've been told that the bet you didn't lose is as sweet as one you won. That is a Modud Operandi in Handicapping the Sports and you better stick to that all the time.

Another advise is one about the Bankroll and subsequently the Money Management. Well, if you choose your plays carefully and instead of playing out of being bored - you'll actually hunt down the plays you plan ahead - your bankroll will increase gradually but surely.

I'll get you some picks as soon as I'll see one fit for you to begin with. 
Keep checking on the thread to see if there's one. It won't be on tonight's plays. 
Treat it as a business and it will become a Business!

When handicapping second half - it is important to compare team's performance in the first half to it season averages. And also to see if the refs will have to repay back some fouls to even the numbers towards the end of the game. 
I'd say that the Lakers 1-9 from three is an odd number that will get better with Bryant contributing more than 18 minutes and 3 attempts from three. On the other side - the big contribution came from Nate Robinson for the Bulls. That won't trend in the second.
The refs will have to side with the home team and they have left themselves 4 foul margin which I assure you will be evened before the game is over.
Totals are gonna be higher than in the first half.

I'd play here:
Lakers -2
Over 96

haven't been watching the game so gotta ask: is the bulls defense making the difference on those three or are they just missing wide open ones? and i see lakers -1 for the game and -2 for second half. usually a no no to lay more for half than for the game.

People here are very doubtful of people like you, coming in and saying your a very good handicapper. But the explanation you give makes sense. Now you never can know the true outcome but thank you for the writeup. I took bulls +3.5 in a teaser, but BOL!

i dunno, it just seems everyone who types out this jibberish is just wasting their time sportsmavin, cmjohnson, shogun, im sure im missing a few all are below average cappers explaining why a bet should win. i think anyone who has the time to type out what they think is not putting enough time into handicapping themselves. but thats just my sh*tty worthless opinion. the mindset is to think completely opposite of what the easiest play is and i dont think many understand this. if it makes you cringe to bet something its most likely the right bet. 

my mindset was to take the lakers also knowing kobe is nasty in the 4th but the line was telling only being -2.5 that they would never come back.

 Encouraging a bet on the side and total in the SAME game is moronic.  You should be thankful that you went 0-2 and got these bankroll burners out of your system.

Although your picks have both lost - I compliment you on your write up. The reasoning  for the picks was great and I really wish the Lakers carried the third quarter effort into the fourth. That way the weight of your truly good advises would be greater. I hope to see more from you.
Whoever you are or want to be received as - GL

I expected much more negativity after yesterday's unsuccessful picks. Anyways - nobody's perfect - you better remember it all the time you're dealing with 60-40% business at its best and should have a stamina to absorb those 40% of losses.
Boston hasn't covered in Cleveland for more than 2 years and always have a problems with short lines. I'd rather see them favored by 6 and up than 4.5 points. With the gun pointed at my head - I'd play the Cavs here on a home court advantage alone. Loss and Cover. But as of now - I'm going to think about it.
No question about the Bucks under Boylan wanting enough and being able to pull a DD win here. The Sixers have issues withing the team and until that won't be solved  - they'd be fade or no play for me. Pulling the trigger on that -6.5. Regular play of course.

Are we supposed to think you're Billy Walters? And even if you were, where do you find time to come to Covers and inflict your teachings for free? I know that Billy Walters I know wouldn't do that. Or would he?

Ah.  From my observations on this site's forums section, that would come from a plentiful of views received; whether you have a winning record or not...  Not trying to give a negative vibe, just would like to give you my observations on things, considering you seem to be more of a "spring chicken" here than I am.  Again, good luck to you...
