Any reason why?

Sorry champ took a quick nap so missed your post. Are you wondering why over or World Team?

This World Team are probably the most lethal in terms of shooting + the fact that they are all 'smalls' means they are clearly going to run the floor all night. My only concern is whether there is the element of this being staged for a close Aussie win, similar to last season where the World Team were cruising only for the Aussies to nearly come through the backdoor and pinch it.

I read in another thread that you don't like displaying units in the Pro Hoops section because of all the bashers, which I understand, they piss just about everyone else off to. So, if you don't want to disclose any of the above I understand.  I love the way you bet and really appreciate your time here, why wouldn't I as you make good units for us.

 

Cheers

Yes my NBL target is 75 units which hopefully I can nail soon

My NBA target is 150 units which at the moment I'm up about +26 units on the year playing only 1-5 units (Jazz have not helped my cause there  ). I'll be stepping up my NBA betting after Christmas where I'll be playing 1-10 units a game as last season. Just wanted to use the first few months of the season to get a feel of all the teams.

As to the whole posting of records, ecoute pretty much nailed one reason as to why I have chosen not to disclose it this season. Second reason is what I found in the past ans is still happening now is the quality of posters in hoops forum has gone downhill since I started posting in 2005 to an extent where people only care about a person's record but not the reasoning behind the selections. I'm an advocate for promoting discussion but that doesn't happen like it used to. With most of my picks I try and reason it as well, I think and hope it benefits not only me but others who may read it as I usually work on different angles/methods than the public. I try and make the effort moreso in NBL however when I don't it's usually because of lack of time or the fact that binomial or one of the other guys have covered off on it so well that me replicating their posts serves little purpose.

I'm comfortable to post up my records in the rugby forum and in NBL because we have a small but very high quality group of cappers IMO. We also don't have to deal with the 5 year olds that you find in the hoops area.
