You bet on the Blazers; You watch game;You cash your ticket;You buy nice things (HUGE write-up)

Ok Scal I got your back when the hyenas and jackles surface but I got to play devils advocate here. I'll give you your due when it comes to player mindset, but I gotta call you out on your take on the Blazers performance in their last 16 qtrs.

Margin of victory/loss by qtr, half, and game for all 30 teams for every game are key components in my tracking system. And brother I'm not just not seeing what your selling.

Now Qtrs translate to Halves, and halves to games (obviously) but in that same 16 qtr time frame Im seeing a 3-5 half record, and an 0-4 game record.

Now those values dont take into consideration lines/spreads but here is my concearn. Within those 16 qtrs are dbl digit losses of -11, -13, -19, and -16 offset by only one dd win of 15. The half scoring is abit more ominous. DD losses of -24, -15, -15, and -17 offset by one ddwin of 19.

If the bulk of my ponies are going to be in the barn tonight do you think that 15.5 is going to get it done? I will give you this...the margin of loss in the last 4 gms has been- 5,- 7, -16, and- 9 so 75% of those fly with a 15.5 pt kicker.

Its just those missing ponies  make it hard for me to dig deep for a game play.

Thanks for the rational discourse. That 3-5 H record and the other ref. points are straight up just for a starting point in this post. When we toss thoughts back and forth is when I plug in the spread values

I agree it's not the right approach to lump qtrs and halves (good or bad)  but to assess the % ratios....ok enuf of that stuff  :)

The 1st H is currently 8.5 I think I read in a different post you arent a half bettor but from my vantage point I see a strong lean there

So 1st H and Game it is

GL and your work is appreciated here
