Laugh if I'm wrong, don't need to respond it if I'm right.

Over 186.5 Chicago

Under 204 OKC

I only laugh at bad comments and oxymoron comments, when people post their picks I take them very seriously because I am always looking to get better- this game is not about you or this thread against you or against me- it is the small guys v. the books, v. vegas.

Here is what I started the day with nothing big but easily could be hedged. For the hedge I am waiting for the lines to move against me if they do I will tease the other ways those that could be close calls. This is a parlay and I will hedge and or double down accordingly with live bet and the 2H system that is being worked on by the Pauls-

OPEN PLAY

$50 for $7,406.62

As far as the line movements are concerned I was on time for the Over in CHI, too early for the over in SA and so far just in time or the over in Denver FYI I always buy 2- unless a 1 makes it PK on spreads.

Ps. I always start my day with a my home run play then if I fall behind or in trouble I try to win the game with bunts singles doubles and the occasional squeeze play. The hedge may be full or partial teaser that will include NCAA or it may be a small parlay of ML and unders in the last two games or something of that nature. I have lots of open spots to fill that is another way to capitalize today thanks to the open bet system. If the lines keep moving against me it only increases the amount of points in the teaser to middle.

So, here is my observation. I wonder if I used the same strategy as before and did the same process and chose the teams and then I fade myself. So, in effect, I am going against the general consensus from the threads and trying to win by going opposite what people think. I might give it a try.

(Note - This is in no way a knock on this thread. It is more about how using information from a lot of sources and then applying a personal bias appears to yield poor results and I want to try the opposite of this. I like this thread.)

I do recognize that picking in this manner may be difficult b/c I know that if I am going to fade myself, does that effect the picks I make? I guess we'll see. I'll drop in the fade picks and we'll see how I do.

let us know how it works out for you- seriously would like to see the data
