    At the start of the year I was looking at the print sheets offered on covers and betting on the o/u streaks continuing .. if both teams had an u on the far right column i would bet that game under and likewise if they were both on over streaks. I had good success early and then I got the great idea to do the same with basketball and i went thru a losing streak so I stopped doing it and havent really tracked it since ..seemed to work for hockey but definately didnt for b ball.

    heres what I do for the nba. I take all road teams of three games or more and look at over under results of last time the two teams met.  if the over is two out of three games I chase the over for up too three games. if the two out of three games is under I chase the under for up too three games. I don't use fliters and all road teams are included. I find my info by looking on covers. so far  my win loss record is 5-1.  I just started this system and I didn't do any backtracking to other years.
     
    todays play was phoenix @ toronto over

    go to wagerline click on scores and odds go down to nba  click on teams that are on the road. toronto, dallas washington and clevland all have three road games or more. click on dallas and scroll up in the right hand corner under remaining games it shows the next three road teams that dallas is playing and if they went over or under on those teams last time they played.

    Dallas @ philadelphia  jan 19 last time these two teams played they went under

    dallas @ milwakee  jan 21 last time these two teams played they went over

    dallas @ detroit jan 23 last time these two played they went under
