It is hard work though...it's like Mavin says cutthroat business

But I still can't believe the night I had with those people...especially the guy giving me the number to western union instead of moneygram, and arguing with western union about a moneygram transaction for 2 hours....they never even mentioned the word western union one time in this discussion haha...

But yeah the more I gathered in my notes from last week the more I realized I had some dumbluck that I thought was an accumulation of hard work.....but back to basics, less games, and slow steady increase....while splashing a few big underdog straight up bets (in spots where they looked right)....really helped increase my bankroll....not this parlay dumbluck bet 20 games bullshit....

Anyways thank you Mavin for everything you have taught me....I was already making money but there is no doubt I made even more because of you....
 Use it for good things

MIN-NOH – OVER 182,5 

I dont think that those teams changed a lot since last month when they scored 215 points combined! 

My record: 1-0


Excellent job Zireal! 

You obviously did your research with todays many games and in a sea of many possible options, you found yourself 2 absolute gems!!
Impressive, and keep up the good work!

U Grizzlies 189 1 unit LOSS
Warriors -1/Nuggets -4.5 -150. 1.5 unit    WIN

like the Warriors after a hard loss to Memphis at home and the Blazers in b2b games, expecting a let down after beating Miami yesterday.
Nuggets have a great home record vs a depleted Cavalies team with Irving ill and maybe not playing.

Hornets are a duferent team since Gordon return, playing against the Twolves without Love, Barea and Rubio not playing well.

And i think the Griizlies will keep down the pace against the Spurs, i like how both teams match against each other, so I expect the under in this game.
Expecting a game like Hornets vs Spurs


So 2-1 for today with +1 unit... not bad
Close to be a 3-0 night but the overtime in Memphis f**ck me.
Anyway it´s a good day

8-4 so far with +5.5 units

See you guys tomorrow with more analysis and picks to share.
Thanks Mavin again, learn a lot.

Grats. Take into consideration when posting a record that the usual unit losses are -1.1 unit. So, you're actually playing either 1.1 units to win 1 unit or straight bets a unit to win 0.9 units.

Mavin - how do you analyze 2H bets? How would you spot RLM for halftime wagers, since as far as I know, there's no website reporting REAL-TIME information on 2H bets. 

If you're not basing halftime bets on RLM, what are you basing it on? And I've sifted through pages 1 through 30 of this thread as I really couldn't find anything discussing your halftime wagering strategies.

Had a good day today. Used RLM.

Chi
Noh
Cle
Por

4-0 today
Sorry was not able to post I was out the whole time but it seems to me that RLM works especially if done correctly!

Plus thursday underdogs under then maybe friday homecourts? Almost all homecourts covered today except the ones RLM went against.

Another tough break with my under going over in an OT game.

Wish I had more time for a write up but I am tired as hell. Hopefully I will be able to add my insight and reasons for my picks later tomorrow. But I have a few picks locked in. 

6-4 in thread
0-1 yesterday


Picks:

Hou/phi under 203
Orl/lac over 198.5
Cha/ind under 185.5
Mem/dal under  187
Pistons -1

Feeling confident in today's card. 



BOL to all

HEY GREAT JOB ZIREAL AND HEADS2134...IT'S GOOD TO SEE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE COME ON HERE AND START COMING OUT WITH GREAT RESULTS.....ALSO LETS REMEMBER (AND SOMETIMES I FORGET)...IF YOU DO HAVE TIME, BREAK DOWN THE GAMES, AS TO WHY YOU LIKE THOSE PICKS BEFORE GAMETIME........IT ADDS TO THE DISCUSSION AND HELPS OTHER CAPPERS WITH THEIR OWN PICKS....

ALSO LEGEND....FROM AN EYE TEST (I ALWAYS SAY THIS WHEN I MEAN JUST LOOKING AT PICKS WITHOUT DOING ANY STUDYING UP)....YOUR PICKS LOOK REALLY GOOD FOR TODAY...HAVE TO AGREE WITH THEM, FOR NOW..SHOULD BE INTERESTING MATCHUP WITH DETROIT VS JAZZ, WITH MONROE AND MAXIELL INSIDE VS MILLSAP AND JEFFERSON.....I ALSO LIKE CHICAGO, MEMPHIS, AND THE HEAT TOMM...ALSO JUST BY AN EYE TEST THOUGH....ANYWAYS GOOD WORK AND..BOL BUDDY

LETS KEEP FILLING THIS THREAD WITH GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT THE GAMES.....THE MORE INFO WE GET, AND OPINIONS WE HAVE, THE BETTER CHANCE WE HAVE AT EXPANDING ARE BANKROLLS.....

Thank you.

I'm glad that Mavin "forced" me ;) with his inspiring posts to contribute to this thread. I didn't want to "take" without giving anything, thats why I'm doing those couple of hours reaserch before posting any picks, just to be sure I'm not throwing any garbage here...

It's nice that it works for now, but I'm fully aware that since I'm just a beginer, I still have a lot to learn from you guys...

Early look and the Mavs look like there is a lot of potential. Going to watch this, but may be an early play for me.  

That Sixers line seems short even with Rockets loss last night and Sixers off. Sixers have been awful. They may actually be a play here. Early this morning I will start watching Sixers/Mavs carefully today. 

Also, a NCAA hunch. I was surprised to see the Duke number moved to 4 in some places. I am a sucker for a college home dog. Duke tends to invite public money. I could possibly see this as a game where the number climbs before game time, yet NC State remains the play. I am playing State regardless of the move today, but something to note and then check back once the game plays out. Basically, don't be surprised to see 4.5 right before tip to draw late Duke money or dumb ML plays on Duke. It is my believe road ml plays in college are about as bad a bet as there is.

Hey everybody, I rarely post on covers. When I do often my plays are unsuccessful and I feel like an @$$hole. I do, however, love this thread. I'm really shocked a thread this long can be so consistently constructive. I've used this site for years and I really think you are all on to something. I look forward to bringing my own insight to the table and hope I can be an asset to the users of this thread.

lost on phoenix, charlotte and the under for bulls/knicks

looking at the orlando/clippers game

leaning on orlando and the under, line has already gone down from 13 to 12.5 total has gone down 1point from 199.5 to 198.5.Orlando is 11-4 on the road ATS and 5-1 on road against over .500 teams, last time they were on a west coast trip they went 4-1 ATS!

Good stuff. My initial lean was Orlando as well. Clippers have been clubbing seals this year (covering fat spreads), but I don't know how sustainable that is. Jacque Vaughn has the Magic scrapping hard on the road.

Take this with a grain of salt, but Orlando is 1-4 ATS on 2 days rest, while the Clip is 6-0 ATS on 2 days rest. Both haven't played since the 9th. Trend says hammer the Clip.
