I am pleased to say that using my little system that I have modified slightly from my baseball aproach(because the lines are set the same as baseball), I am moving my way up the covers NHL league contest:Currently 560th overall for the season and currently 62nd overall for the week.
Knocking on wood that my aproach continues to work, 1 week does not make a season unfortunately.....
Good luck to everyone today! 
Can i ask you a question ? What exactly do your notes look like ? I'm interested in any useful information, but I then looked out here on covers, you a lot of date and 'notes' about each team, so why make your own notes about the totals, tts, injuries etc...) ?

for each game that is played every night I take notes on the opening lines, closing lines( or near closing time) to track the movement, important to note the lines for both teams(here on covers they show only the home teams line movement), i do the same for totals and team totals, I also note the date and day of the week.I will track how many home teams have won that night and vice versa, dogs to favs, etc. I like to keep notes because it allows me to go back anytime and see if I can find some clues for the today's matches in past lines, while covers has the lines for the day, they don't have the opening lines from let's say last tuesday for example( i might be mistaken but i haven't found that yet here).I still do my due diligence and look at trends and stats that is available here at covers, also try and read as many articles on the respective teams i am capping to try and get a feeling of that team.My approach might not work exactly for you , but you may be able to adapt an aproach that you are comfortable with.I have found capping is like a puzzle, you can have a few pieces that makes an image but it might not give you the big picture of the whole puzzle, the more pieces you have the better chance you will have to see the whole puzzle!You should try taking notes( you might find other things to note also) for a week and then look at those notes and you might be able to find some clues as to where to bet.I always told myself that the best capper is vegas, so i want to find out where he(or she, don't want to be sexist lol) is leaning.I hope this helps you out a little.

Well thats sure good for you :) i usually don't have that much time, I started making stats of my own bets when i first started betting to see where was i going wrong, where was I too impulsive or subjective or fan-related... then somedays i couldn't do it, and then you have it all wrong. Its very important to be consistent and i mean everysingle day taking notes... I saw that this isn't working for me...well maybe at least not now when i'm first season playing for small amounts to see, how the system works. Maybe if someday i'll raise my stakes i'll put more time in it aswell...

these two things are key!It's like anything in life that you want to be successful at , you have to put the time in, and also have the passion for it.I am truly passionate about handicapping, I come in early to work to check lines and stats, lunch break or any break for that matter i'm doing the same thing(sometimes it gets tricky finding time when you run a small business), I relax at home at night by going over my notes while watching the games, to me it's fun!

Great input here Green Giant. I think the reason you're doing well in NHL now and will generally do well in any handicapping is your patience to take the notes on every game - intersting or not and use them when interesting will come in future. That is only way to deal with handicapping - looking at the big picture - or Code. And you all know that was not invented here.

Thanks Mavin, that means a lot to me coming from you!
Good luck tonight!

BOgut's return will make things easier for an opponent who is in great form
Final:
DALLAS Mavericks +3 (-110) 110$
Final:
OKC Thunder - MEMPHIS Grizzlies Under 189 (-110) 110$
G a y's absence will affect the Grizzlies' offense and they'll have no choice but to slow the game down. This is number 1 offense going at it against number 1 defense and G a Y was no defensive anchor.
Final:
GS Warriors - DALLAS Mavericks Under 203.5 (-110) 110$

Hi All,
Haven't posted for awhile but have been following this thread pretty closely.
Got to say I find the totals movements a bit puzzling today. All the money has been for the overs, well as far as I can make out, yet the line reverses...why? Is it a play by the books to drag money to the unders to even it out.
