In other words, why does that guarantee you would end up hitting at more than 55% to make a profit ?

NBA is so hard. Just watch the contests. Watch how many NHL people are + units compared to NBA and you will see.

I've noticed Friday games can be tough to cap because you dont know who's looking to play and who's just going through the motions so they can go out and party...IMO

All-Star Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 10305 Location: New Hampshire	#23 Posted: 11/5/2009 1:14:18 AM I believe thats why I've been doing so well in the NHL Devils...I could give a crap who wins. Born and raised 45 minutes outside of Boston....so the Bruins are "my team"...but other than that I just look at the basics. Who's on fire, who's the goalie, what have the teams done in the last 5 games. NBA could be a nice switch for ya. Unfortunately the normal trends and such have been out of whack this year.
