Serious Streak Survivor Strategies

#8102
This makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Vegas doesn't want to give points to a team that the public is all over, EVER.
So if you see a case of B's being all over a dog (and by all over I mean 60%+) and they're getting points and the line doesn't drop and even goes other way giving them MORE points, like we saw with NY yesterday and Clips today, there is something wrong with this and the fav is the play.
Cases so far:
Miami (spanked NY)
Memphis (spanking Clips)
Atlanta (spanked Boston)
Atlanta was a game close to pk so we can kinda exclude that one but I still think Boston coulda been favored with everyone on them. That -1.5 looked juicy on Atlanta but I laid off. Ugh.

Look anyone could make $ betting favorites so far in playoffs since they're 6-2 (assuming Memphis covers) so far which is 75%.
If you only take the ones where public likes dog, however, you're looking at 3-0, 100%.
Hey SmoothD you like streaks let's see how long this streak lasts. We're looking at results for every favorite that becomes a play according to system when the B's on the dog. 3-0 so far In last 2 days.

I didn't know this until yesterday but here's an interesting stat: teams that win game 1 in playoffs win series 78% of the time. That's a huge stat and I shoulda thought twice about taking any dogs like Denver for game 1. You know the better teams are gonna come out with all they have in game 1 to get that edge and taking the dog is too risky.

This is my first playoff betting and I am still learning. System absolutely raped it during reg season but game 1 of playoffs is proving to be a challenge.
Today system plays were:
Denver
Denver over
Atl
Memphis
I didn't mention Atl earlier but it still qualified. Mem total did not since line went back up but I took it anyways.
System looking a 2-2 again today and 2-2 yesterday and these are bad days at 50%. Not bad when you think about it

HORRORS IN THE NBA!!!
This is why I didn't like Mem in the first place and shoulda disqualified them, they were up 26 pts in the 3rd quarter when I was posting a little while ago AND THEY JUST LOST OUTRIGHT FUCKING BUSTERS WOW
I took Clips second half for a middle thank God but should have hit both bets. Unbelievable that Memphis lost its the greatest comeback in NBA playoff HISTORY.
So we have to adjust our numbers, system plays today 1-3, 3-5 last 2 days, and fav's 2-1 with busters on the dog. Wow

WOW! AMAZING COMEBACK BY THE CLIPPERS!!!!
Down by 27 points in the 2nd half and 24 points with 8 min left. Memphis finds a way to blow it. Unbelievable. Czech I feel for you man. That was painful for me to watch and I didn't bet it nor did I have a streak on it. Memphis choked big time!

They lost their composure and I don't think Hollins did a good job in calming everybody down. I stopped watching when it was 81-56 and then all of the sudden I hear Dick Stockton going crazy and they were down by 13 then in blink of an eye it was 6. The rest is history. Happy for the Clippers but that was painful to watch. I would have bet the Clippers if I had bet but I stayed away because I didn't know how they would play in their 1st Playoff game in years. Now we know. Just an incredible turn of events. Sorry that you as well as Czech were on the wrong side of history in that one.

If you followed the griz at all lately this isnt a big shock,to me anyway,they have been doing this down their winning stretch to end reg season. I like clippers plus pts,but took over instead. Go look at the griz last 10 games,they win but dont cover.I had magic last game of the year at +15.Sure enough griz were up 20+ and failed to cover. There's something just not right with that team.
I also had over ATL, which lost and will bet every under in that series now that i saw game 1.

If he's not aware Boomer56 should wait and see who he picks and take the other team .
Good point but no matter what Boomer has to pick. If I was Mrs. Scrubs I would be the one waiting. Boomer needs to find a good game to pick and force the lady to pick and hope for the best. Nice Avatar BTW.

I couldn't agree more Smooth. i can't ride line theories. they really do mean nothing. ON any given day, any given team can win. Including the 2011 Colts. Sharps or Busters don't have a say so on who wins, Stats say everything. History tells everything. Lines tell nothing but who everyone is betting on. You look at the whip, the era, batting averages against the starter, the bullpen, who's cold, who's hot, the past history between starter vs lineup. The public(busters) looks at none of this stuff. If you bet blind without looking at the real info, then you are a buster,(the public). pretty much betting on familiarity. People bet the yankees, the red sox, all the teams that sound good from there name. If the Yankees changed there name, i guarantee you they would not be a public play any more, just for the simple fact, the public would not know who this new team is. It is not like a game of craps where you can bet with the house since the house always wins. The house in this case makes there money off the juice we lay.
