Respect for posting your plays, but Miami had no business being only a few points of an underdog against a high end team like Oklahoma. Not unless Oklahoma was in really bad circumstances which they weren't, they were in good circumstances having 2 days of rest and being very strong recently. Miami is a very unreliable mediocre team. A game before this they lost badly to Chicago who was on a recent massive losing streak? Huge red flag. My money was on Oklahoma, so I'm not just talking with no action. The line should've been more like Mia +9.

Anyway the point of posting this is to assist you. The only way to prevent this in the future is by learning from mistakes.

Simple solution is how bout instead complain start picking own plays. Lc is nice enough to post his picks for free and detailed write ups people jump on then after game say how terrible heat are and bad bet instead of before game. Then try to give advice on how to bet when he still clearly up a lot of units

Gotta love all those after game red flags and analysis... Heat should be +9?!? If OKC had won by 40 should Heat been +16?? Bit too much results oriented?

And because a bet lost doesn't mean it was bad or a mistake

Bro at the end of december you claimed Utah would lose nearly no game in january and you were right! They went 12-4 and held the spread 8 or 9 of those 12 times, i hit their games while being careful with spots on an close to 75% rate, just wanted to say thank you because if people truly follow you they can learn a whole lot. Also Charlotte bro, i thought that team sucked but your trust in them made me reconsider many times!

Bunch of douchebag Monday Morning Quarterbacks in LC's threads this season.  

Kuckk the crowd of losers that bet random people's plays on the internet with their hard earn money and then complain because they can't think for themselves and want handouts everywhere in life.  

You're still up a boatload with your books.

All of these people complaining are chasing their losses while you're playing with profits.  

Keep posting your plays and doing you.

Oh okay my bad, not allowed to try to help LC be better. Sorry! No I would've told you the exact same thing before the game, I put my money where my mouth is. I promise you it's not a coincidence Miami lost easily.

I knew someone would react that way. Strongly felt it coming. Stop being so hyper defensive my goodness. I want LC to succeed as much as he can.

Ninja my reply had nothing to do with LC, I just don't get this results-oriented logic...

If I throw a biased 55-45 coin and choose always the 55% side, will still have on average 55W-45L but would have been "correct" 100%, not "wrong" those 45 times...

Oh okay my bad misinterpreted. 

It's not purely result oriented logic, I had Okc pegged as a great play before the game. What business does Miami have only receiving a handful of points against a very superior team who is in top shape lately? 

1) Miami seems to actually be worse as a home team, going against conventional logic
2) They're easily outclassed
3) They're in bad form recently and have been poor ATS
4) Up against a team who is on a great winning streak and showing their best form recently
5) The linesmakers are going to only give them +4 in this situation? I'll jump all over that every day lol

Looking at it from this perspective it's very obvious who the correct play is. Okc -4

Ninja....just a few words of advice for you....slow down.....you are about to become the new "hindsight know it all king" on covers and covers has enough of those. Don't be that guy....everyone is 100% after the final buzzer. Time to rebrand yourself. This Ninja is one no one likes.

No, stop with this hindsight crap. I'm only trying to help because I'm not sure if he realizes why it went wrong and he has been on a tough streak. Hoping something sticks and we right the ship. Everyone takes it the wrong way. 

The best way to improve is evaluate every single pick, why was it wrong? That's what I always do with myself. Here's an important thing a lot of people don't seem to understand: whenever a team loses ATS by a large margin it's never a fluke, you just have to figure out the reason why and keep that in mind next time.

I would never post just to say I told you so. That's super lame. I would appreciate receiving this kind of feedback if I were in LC's shoes!!!

In NFL he was right about NE +3, I was wrong about KC -3. He did a great job there and I gave him a lot of credit. Here I'm just pointing out things that are important to be aware of. No hostility at all.

Ninja I don't doubt your intentions, meaningful arguments and discussion is what I seek for... so I completely disagree with the above, there are countless examples where a large margin win even a posteriori can't be considered as the more probable result... Jan-06 okc lost by 18 at home v wizards, they laid an egg as there was a good chance they could lay an egg last night. How big a chance? Debatable. Should Wiz have been a 10pt fav @okc? Probably o. Should OKC have been a 9pt fav @heat, Proably no.

Okay I really meant the vast majority of the time, thanks for pointing that out. It's a good rule of thumb to go by. Usually it's obvious when it doesn't hold true so it's not a problem.

I've had a lot of success going about it this way at least, so I'm sure it works.

Ninja....you giving LC handicapping lessons is akin to the 15 year old kids in Revenge of the Nerds giving advice on how to make a great porno movie. As I said, slow down....nobody likes the Monday Morning capper who is always 100%. Suddenly you are not only calling out LC but the entire community of Vegas and offshore books because the line was 4....not 10. Don't think you are smarter than Vegas....it will result in lint being the only thing in your pockets.

Your annoyance factor is bleeding into the red.

You're just viewing it the wrong way. I'm not trying to give lessons I'm trying to help. Whatever, that's all I have to say. If you don't get it I guess you never will.

See you.
