With plenty of time to go before game time, someone please tell me if I'm completely off on this pick. I won't change it for contest, but will cash out my bet if I agree.

I feel like I'm stealing little bubba's lunch money, but I think the Warriors are going to have a Kerrific game at home welcoming the coach back. Dubs should be -19.5+ over these guys, but only laying 12.5?! Game isn't even an option on Streak atm.

Anyway, GSW -7.5 1H is my play.

BOL fellas

Agree here. It will be hard to track especially if some one posts a +ML dog winner for example. Should be some kind of bonus for posting such a play. If anyone does.

I think we have to eliminate ML Dogs as a play in the contest. Avg bet of juice - 110 for sides ATS and Total is good enough. If someone like ML Dog he could take the points as a play. My suggestion for unit count is based on one simple thing. Imagine I start 20-5 in the contest which is exactly 80% with the minimum plays till end of the season. Do you think anyone will reach 80% in long term with more than 25 plays. My suggestion is that everybody to play regular - 110 juice bet so we can count the units properly. The other option is to increase minimum plays form 25 to 50! With bigger amount of bets will be lot easier to eliminate luck and put capping skills on first place.

Thanks for running this contest guys. I think if you have a minimum number of plays in play, percentage is the way to go.
1-0
Lots of interesting lines today, but I'm gonna go with Utah -5.5. I think Utah will have enough tonight even without Favors. Gobert will neutralize the Nets only real consistent scorer. Nets may keep it close early but Utah will pull away in the 2nd half.

With addition to my post we can consider 40 or even 50 games. Maybe 40 is better but i don't know for sure.  We have still 4 months of basketball. I think 10-12 games per month are enough and reachable for everybody in the contest.

Pick for today is Spurs -16
I really love this team give me one of the best of the nba teams vs a depleted Suns team who is not really that good without key players I expect the fire power of the Spurs to cover the spread vs this medicore Suns team that is looking for ways to win

Interesting play Damon, I took Celts -1.5 1H. What's your angle? I think Bulls cover game and potentially win. But Celts are strong 1H at home recently, Bulls not so much on road.
