If we stay away from OT under looks great. They surely can't score 26 in 3 mins. That would equal 104 in a quarter.

Mavin, my bad bro... You were dead on with this... Congrats on your winnings man

LOL yeah I actually went 4-1 today... If you cruise over to the NHL forum you'll see that I'm tearing it up...4-0 today... 10-3 record so far

I'm slowly waning myself off NBA because I'm just not making very much profits... Gonna really look for spot plays and leave it at that... For now.. lol

Probably be playing G.S. and Dal depending on the lines as trends a favorable to them as well. Lakers have good trends for their game too, but I will not touch that one. Atl looks like a good option as well. Let you know if I take any of them.

How do I track my bets, photographic memory and my iphone lol once I make a parlay I seem to remember it, this comes in very handy when trading stocks and options. Nowadays they make options simpler for people to remember but when I began trading 10 years options had their own symbols now is just the stock symbol itself and a strike- I enjoyed remembering all those symbols and it made me a better trader- because it made me work harder at the craft, to the point where I would have 30-50 stocks on my screen and remember all the open,close,hod,lod,previous c, previous o and the greeks for the underlying options.

Thanks for reading what I post, I hope is of good use to someone as the main purpose of this thread is to share ideas and become better at the art of handicapping, I call it art because there is no one way about it, it's something you have to work hard on and improve as you go, there will always be let downs and great picks but we are in the game of making money and we should use all the tools we have at our disposal to achieve our common goal. Of course there is also the entertainment factor but to me that comes second to my friends Jackson, Grant and Franklin.

 not 22 1/2 that means I can't push it's 22  

I did have a slip up yesterday I should have made the open parlay with one open spot only yesterday- less pay but as it turns out (hindsight is 20/20) once I had booked Raptors and Knicks I could have simply hedge with my other open spot parlay and would have made $600- as I take notes the bet should have been Spread Raptors, Spread Knicks ML Clippers (why?) because then at half time the hedge would have been the +7 and that way if the clips won I got paid, if the suns won I got paid and if the game ended up close lets say a 1-2 Clips win I would have gotten double paid.

Going into the day the clips was the game I was not sure of. Was undecided on the under or picking the clips ML or the Spread- went with the higher payout because the points  seem odd being the SUNS game went over the night before.

Need to work on leans for today.

have to agree with all except the over on the OKC game just because the Kings are so hit or miss. OKC will get their 90-100 but will the Kings respond- they live and die by the 3pt ball.
