Texan1948 Season Long NBA thread - 65% winning guaranteed!

Yes. Rockets -4 im sorry.
Thnx.

Tex, I like your Houston pick, especially with San Antonio on back to back. But I am always afraid of Portland at home. Like most NBA teams, Portland is a much better team at home.

Could not agree more with the Mavs play.  Once again Dallas is very underrated.

I'll stop trolling your post eventually but for now your still not understanding my point.  Your record literally does not add up.  Check the last time you posted your record if you go through the wins and add them up it does not equal your total wins (23), and same with the losses.  Are you counting quarter bets, half bets, live bets?  I haven't been able to find the combination of categories that your compiling for your overall record. Again, i'm not hating on you I'd love for you to hit 65% and keep an accurate properly documented record. 

Sheep my record is the most accurate record posted on this form. Ever. And it's extreamly simple:
ALL bets that are made before the game are part of the main record. It doesn't matter if I bet on o/u points on a player, or winner of first 6 min. The live bets is separate. I really think that if you look at the record it's clear.

Now please. Let's move on.

Ok let's add this up because your still missing my point.  I AM NOT ACCUSING YOU OF LYING.  I haven't been tracking your plays.  When I say your record is wrong I am not saying that your fabricating your record I'm literally saying your wins and losses as YOU posted do not add up.  Look.

interesting, line drop from -4.5 to -6.5 on HOU-SAS game. think hou will cover -4.5 spread

Timi and Ginobilli are going to rest according to reports thats why

yes, that's a lot: Splitter, Duncan, Ginobili, Belinelli are out vs Rockets

Sheek I just went over ALL my plays, my final record is 100% accurate, but you are correct this doesn't add up, I'm going to check why and fix it ASAP.

Thnx.

Hornets -2
100$ to win 95.24$

Two very mediocre teams. Both have some great players but they are not playing like TEAMS at the moment. I do think the Hornets are better and the Hawks are not very good on the road. This won't be a blow out but I do see a 6-7 point win for MJ.

Pacers +4.5
100$ to win 90.91$
The Celtics are fun to watch. The Pacers are not. Both team are weak but I still think the Pacers are much better. I think 4.5 is too many points here and I like this spot.

Nets -5.5
100$ to win 90.91$
The NYN are ... bad. Simple as that. With all their injuries I really can't see them doing anything here other than simply getting destroyed again.

Wizz +4
100$ to win 90.91$
I love both teams. When they are both healthy they are going to be top 5 in the EAST easily. This on paper should be a very close game, but I think the Wizz are going to blow the Raptors out of the water, they are better, and much more stable.

Kings +5
200$ to win 190.48$
No doubt the biggest surprise of the season so far. The Kings are playing great basketball. They are size, they have power and they play almost perfect offense. If they can stay strong in D they will have one of their best seasons in years. The Suns are VERY good, but I think that they are not as good as last season and should choose one PG in order to get to the playoffs. This will be VERY close.

Cavs -5
100$ to win 95.24$
The Cavs will lose 3 in a row? Really? This team is playing terrible. If I was from mars and would watch them for the first time ever I would think they are one of the worst teams of the league. But with their talent, all they need is LeBron to take over and they will destroy a very bad Denver team.

Good luck!

Here's another thing. It's knit-picking but how is 24-26-2 48.08%? Do ties add to winning percentage? It should be 48%. I always round up or down but it's exactly 48%. If guess it's just annoying. Not evil or anything like that....

There must be some place you mathematicians could go to volunteer your time rather than poring over his record

Yes sir ties do improve %. It's math. Nothing to round up or down. Math is a fact.

Learn something new every day. I just throw them out in calculation cuz it doesn't translate into any $ when you push.

Ties absolutely DO NOT improve your winning percentage.

Uh oh!....here we go....

Now move on

While we're picking nits, it's "nit picking," not knit-picking. Knitting is something women do with needles. Nits are head lice eggs that people pick from their hair when infected, thus the phrase "nit picking."

RT2

Touché!

Like the way I put the little accent over the "e" so you wouldn't correct me again?

 

 To nitpick a little further, its all one word nitpicking, not nit picking.....so there! I think we have sufficiently killed this now.
