Think I'm gonna take a break till playoffs, maybe spot bet. Concentrate on baseball more. Did rather well first time through the starting rotation but know its going to get way harder once the books catch up. Tried baseball couple of times before but couldn't stick to it and devote enough time to it to be successful. 

Looking for the best book for baseball, any thoughts guys?
Pinnacle and 5 dimes I've heard and right now leaning towards one of them       .

Good luck gents rest of way! 
I'll be checking in and see you in the playoffs!

I may take on baseball but will finish out the NBA season and playoffs and then it may be a long off season for me until the NFL kicks into gear.

BOL on the national pastime bets

And I know I speak for every one here when I say this, your contributions here are greatly appreciated! 
Everyone's efforts here have at all times been top shelf!

Should have taken a break last night, went 0-3 and ruined my nice record. That's it, I need to forget this and focus on what's next.

Alright Im not focusing on crunching numbers on the follow plays.  Im going with the over on 2 games because of the competitiveness I forsee for playoff positioning or hopes.  Im also gonna take Dallas because they still have slim hopes and in Portland the last 5 times they are 3-1-1 ATS.

41-38-1

Over 196 OKC Thunder-NY Knicks

Over 200 GS Warriors-UT Jazz

DAL Mavericks -3.5

Peace be with you!

Under 196 OKC Thunder - NY Knicks

Strong defense both teams, with Chandler back since last game for Knicks
Really good scoring in paint for Oklahoma but really good defense vs PPG in paint for Knicks
Many under for both team.

that's how i am trying to live bet, betting the opposite of what makes sense. but in some nba games, if both teams are scoring a ton of points 1st half many times they will slow it down second half. seems to work about 50 % of the time

Device a plan going in, dont get caught up in the live game trying to predict use it as a tool.

Thanks for the advice.  I think my main problem is not being confident in my original pre game bet.  Which we have talked about before is very important to wagering.  Then I try to make up for it while my original bet was usually a winner that id cancel out.  Or also trying to be too greedy and bitting myself in the b utt.  I feel like live betting u need to minimize the in game in order to think clearly, which for me is hard to do haha

washhead 5-2

GS Warriors -5

The Warriors should come out strong tonight with a chance to clinch a playoff berth in front of the home crowd.  They are a strong home team (26-11 overall, 4-1 last five), and lately they've been winning by large margins at home (last 4 home wins all by 6+ points). 

Utah struggles on the road (11-27 overall, 1-8 last nine).  They're playing this odd road game after 4 consecutive in Utah, and they're heading straight back for two more in SLC after tonight.  It's a very odd spot for them, and I'll take the home team to cover.

AshyLarryMP 60-59-2:

LA Lakers +4.5

CHI Bulls -4.5

NO Hornets -2.5

lakers i'll take the points, there still fighting for playoffs, trust the wont lose big..

bulls are just the better team, detroit never beats teams with good records, if bulls actually show up they'll win

hornets, suns people have been saying it for a while, i think are trying to lose at this point, i'll take the better team to pull out the road win, as suns will probably hand it to them late..

good luck to all!!

He's working right now... But I think he'd say something to the effect of the 2H line "should" be 105-107, so bet accordingly to whatever it is.

MEM Grizzlies -6 

PHX Suns +2.5

Kings are 0-5 at home. Hope they will stay humble tonight and don't mess with my play. 

I think Suns need to win some games too and there are few chances left for them. Add to this the fact that Hornets are 0-8 vs spread on the road.
