Great call on Twolves Tsik!! You know your stuff.  Do you think your method of handicap could apply to international basketball?  5dimes offers international basketball.  You think its a similar psychology to this NBA system you have with linemakers?

Tsikenbreast, I will chalk that up as a win, refs were holding thier whistle when they wanted to, anyone that bet large money should be smart enough to take the points..

I-for one-appreciate your picks.  I always take the points so I''m doing okay with your selections.  Keep them coming and good luck to all.

I read somewhere than 88% of the time a 3 pt dog will win outright.  I think if you work the math, the results for playing the points or ML works out to be same in the long run.

Also I'm not afraid to say it. Point shaving is alive and well in the NBA. I have been on the winning side and the sucker side. Its s shame but business is business

I don't get it.  Who's gonna shave the points?  Why would Lebron, Kobe or KD who make 9 digits shave points just to make a quick $10k here or there and risk $100,000,000+?????

I always put 3 units on dogs, and 1 unit on ml. Everytime I bet a dog. As long as you cover, you win. When that money line hits you win big.
