makes 4 good read,but did not seem to me to make any valid point,no disrepect meant,Except what u said about money manangement.I made my 1st wager years ago,on auburn +6 in 74 Gator Bowl.Been at it ever since.Not bc i won,but it was fun.I have my share of big wins an losses,won on crazy plays an been beat every way possible ,buzzer shots,walk off homers,an the craziest,colt runback of onside kick vs jags late in 2010 season.I am quiting 4 good after 2014 ncaa tourney is done.40 years is enuff.tried all,even touts.Ive learned one tool that helps,as 90% gravitate towards 500,tail teams that cover,fade teams that dont,and though this takes patience and time,it works,c phillys 3-13 ats this past year,stay close to home which means SEC 4 me in college football an hoops,pick straigt up winners in nfl,as i have noticed mostly they cover,whether favs or dogs,pitchers in baseball,and select only a few nba teams an handicap them.Though simple this has rewarded me in the last few of my betting years.I will miss the action,but the contests on covers are neat and u do not lose ur cash.In the quest to hit the 21 in THE STREAK,i have seen 2 hit it,a few miss on 21,an to my knowledge never anyone hit 25.Best of luck to all.

What makes a person a great person is an ability to make a positive out of nothing for as many people as possible. Things that you say are valid about tailing the teams that have a great ATS - but in order to do that you have to know who they will be as the season starts with 0-0-0 and those who are half term over 60% tend to even out towards the end. If you did not get anything from this thread - it means that you already knew those things which is great. But if there's something you don't agree - that what I'd like to know and discuss. I don't measure my self respect by who do and don't respect me online. So - please feel free to contribute if you have something and we'll be glad to hear.

Mavin, I respect your privacy not disclosing the details about yourself - but I think it would be academically helpful for the visitors to understand where you come from. All I got to add to that subject is that the fact of you being an excellent signal caller in binary options market (I could say - unmatched if I wanted to stress that point)  - is only helpful to understand your altruist motives in delivering the mass education thread on subject of sports handicapping. I personally learned a lot and more than that - discovered that there are reasonable people who are seriously trying to handicap sports and the next step most probably will be converting them to learn trading in binary options. That is how I see the flow of this process started by you. As one who came here from that market - it was pretty strange to see you trying to work sports handicapping market which is in my eyes much more complicated than the binary options one. But, then I learned that the risk management is the key to all the ventures in a trading world and trading in spreads and totals carries much more unpredictability and risk than binary options do.

Oxymoron?
Highly exaggerated
I did not set no process at the end of which I am going to conver anyone to anything. Those are different markets with different ROIs and different investment needs
Risk management is the key to anything you do in life. You are choosing to buy a car which in your understanding best suits your needs while at the same time you have certain expectations from your purchase. The difference between what you expect and what you get in reality is a risk factor and as less as the risk factor is - more relaxed you are making that purchase. In binary options there is no point entering it if you don;t know how to manage your bankroll and with less than 5000$ to start with. I mean - you can start with 2000$ but since you need to hit over 60% to be on the earning side (of course the risk in binary options is much much less than in sports handicapping as there are no dramatic and sensational results - boring sometimes duh) - you gotta be prepared for some downfalls and hedges as well. Hedging and middling in binary options is a common practice for those with experience who do not want to risk anything but juice. But the juice is higher than in sports.

I also learned how to find your signals, but  - contrary to optionsjunkie - I'm not going to disclose it until you yourself decide to
Please stop with that, please

Ok, here we go (totals indicated by the "track"):
OKC-CLE OVER 206
ORL-MIL UNDER 200,5

My personal play is MIL -10
I think the situation looks similar with yesterday's Miami-Indiana game. We should be thinking: "Milwakee? favorit by 10 points? the line is too high, I'm taking points with Orlando... easy play..." 
But, again, I'm going opposite, since there is no such thing as "easy play"! 

BOL to ALL

Kings sucked, but the Cavs delivered. Over looks ok and the kittens need to pull it up

I usually found it hard to support bottom teams on the road cause when they got beat, they got beat badly by so many points...

If you will bother to check stats from this season - you'll find that most of the times home team was a DD favorite - they diod not cover the first half. Most

thanks mavin, but not like my other solid picks - this minny -3 pick was posted by other great capper i respect earlier than me. i did not take it from him but it sure helped me to make the decision to go for it. your demeanor reminds me a lot of him and that is why i feel comfortable in your thread. thanks for having me. but the props for this pick go to that capper.

You either are a very modest person with kind of earnings you're sporting - or you are that handicapper you're talking about, or... you're saying how it really is. Well, I'd like to believe the third version, but truly - I don't care as long as it is a winner you post

After yesterday's home covering frenzy I filtered my ATS record, removing away teams totally, and my records improved so much, maybe it's just a coincidence, or the home team really have an advantage ATS wise, at least for those with very strong home court advantage, like Denver, Houston, Spurs etc.
