Finalized
Straight Bet: 1U on Lakers ML to win 2.8U -Playing purely on "value".. if you can call Lakers that, lol. They've been tragic this season. Parlay: 1U on MIA -2 ML, MIL -5, BRO +5 to win 3.59U Should probably play opposite me as I haven't had much luck lately. Good luck to all! |

Straight Bet YTD: 1-2-0
Parlay Bet YTD: 0-2-0 Units YTD: -2.91 Early leans for Tuesday: BRO, IND +3, MIL BRO/PHI -BRO on winning streak, PHI going opposite way. IND - Awesome at home, whereas Heat hasn't been good ATS away. MIL - Should be well rested and ready to come out firing to end losing streak. Home court should help. Insight is much appreciated! Will finalize tomorrow. |

Monday Recap
Straight Bet YTD: 1-2-0 Parlay YTD: 0-2-0 Units YTD: -2.91 I know ORL / POR game is still underway, but I'd need them to basically miss all their remaining shots to win the bet, lol. Jason Terry was invisible tonight, terrible pick.

Finalized (Additional Play)
1U: Jason Terry, Over 9.5 points, to win 0.90U With Rondo suspended, I'm hoping he'll be one of the guys that step up. Other leans but no play: NOH +8 (Have played SAS tight at home) DAL +5.5 (Utah pretty solid at home) |

Me too, but got the extra points for the parlay. Same with the O/U - line is actually 190.5 at this moment. Picturing a 95-90 type game.
I'm waiting for BOS / NYK lines to be released. If not favourable, might also play ORL +6.5 |

Cannot agree more. They've burned me a few times this season already... not gonna be picking them against "good" teams, only the weaker ones.

I understand Toronto's been playing better recently and OKC doesn't have a good record in Toronto, but those stats are cumulative from years before OKC was contending for championships.
Having said that, I've noticed Toronto teams (NHL, NBA, MLB) have this strange tendency to play really well against championship calibre teams. |

DeRozan having a terrible game, 4-16 shooting so far. The line did seem very fishy considering.. was anticipating OKC to be favoured by double digits.

Just woke up, but did place my bet last night; however, since I didn't finalize it here, I will not count it towards my YTD.

Leans:
OKC -7 Lot of people picking Toronto, not sure why.. I'm probably missing something. Granted, OKC doesn't have a good record playing here. Still, I don't see them struggling with the Raptors. Any insight is appreciated! Will finalize when I wake up. |

Nice picks, sucks how DAL game went to OT. 4-1 is still an excellent night.

Hello all.
First, a little about me before I start posting so you know where I'm coming from - literally and figuratively... I'm from Toronto and support all their teams (Raptors, Jays, Leafs, Argos), but don't really follow the Argos. Fan of all sports and gamble on the following: Primary -NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, PGA Secondary - MMA, Tennis (Majors only), World Cup, Euro Cup Soccer
Why start posting now? Mainly to keep track, stay disciplined, and receive constructive criticism on my picks. Why do I gamble? It's fun, exciting, and makes watching the game so much more enjoyable. I don't "need" to gamble (and no one should ever "need" to), but it's a form of entertainment for me. Plus, who wouldn't want some extra cash?! Sports betting definitely beats lottery odds, which I still play now and then, so why the hell not. Money management "Know your limit. Play within it." -Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) Considering we're all from different walks of life and have different views on what money is "worth", I'll be calculating my picks on a "unit" basis without assigning a dollar value. Biases -Toronto teams: Only relevant one right now is Raptors, which have been playing a little better. Tend to stay away from them as they're so inconsistent. Side note, pumped for Jays upcoming season with all the trades and signings. Already have small wagers for them to win division and World Series! (Yes, I'm that excited) -NBA / NHL regular season: I find Western Conference teams usually beats Eastern Conference teams. -NBA: Winning by 10+ points is "a lot"; so is reaching 200 for Over/Under. -Almost always an "upset" per night, no matter what the stats say. -Not worth the juice if odds are lower than 1.50u for Money Line (ML). -"Hot" / "Cold" streak = 4+ consecutive wins / losses. Methods / "Strategies" I'm not a number cruncher by any means. Mainly rely on gut. I like to think watching and following sports for a number of years has developed some sort of "sixth sense". Having said that, I do look at injuries, head-to-head history, and recent form. Personal Tendencies -Found myself to be a sucker for "value" underdogs. I think I need to stick with the mentality that bookies are rich because they're "usually" right. -Betting AGAINST "streaking" teams. Usually ask myself "will the streak end tonight given they are playing ABC team who they've performed x-y-z in recent meetings?" Final Words -If you're still reading, nice to "meet" you. -Wagering is your own damn choice - no reason to blame anyone else for losses but yourself. Sports betting is a hobby of mine, not my "job". -The only "good" bets are the ones that win. Can't take comfort in "close" picks. -Much respect to the regular posters. Ones I've tended to read are CMJohnson, CMM, khmerkid, LVTruck -Good luck to all! ***** Leans for Saturday (ML hasn't been released, so will finalize later): Favoured Pick -LAC -HOU Underdog Pick -MIL |
