Of course you wouldn't of heard me vent if Dallas and the sixers didn't come in, which I'm sure Dallas will.
IOf venting could help anything.... Calm down buddy. As long as you healthy and there is no end of the world - neither NBA or me or anyone on this thread are running away. Patience. We're doing much greater things here than my one or two picks.

Correction an 0-3 day not 0-2. Understand I'm not complaining about the games losing just the fact that there's no way to bounce from here to the online book an place the bet when the play is posted 1 min before tip!

Read Zireal research on that. He said that on last 3 saturdays Miami playing in Sacramento were Unders although overall is 10 over and 6 unders. That must mean something as is not generally public stat

Opinion & play:

UNDER 92 - Dallas 2nd half:

Reasoning:

Dallas is shooting ~54% from the field / 10-14 FT / 6-8 from 3 point range...Memphis is ~32% from the field.  Many opporuntites for  Dallas to run in the first half.  3 pt FG % should regress / limited opportunities to run with a reasonable increase in FG % by Memphis.  Intangibles - Dirk will play less minutes; Memphis will exert more effort on the defensive end in the 3rd and thus slow the pace of the game down.

Use live betting if you can, and if not - tomorrow's another day buddy. Can't recall the time for you even if I wanted to

January 12 RECAP

UNDER Clippers 1Q 50 - $100 loss
OVER Pacers 4Q 45.5 - $84 win
Atlanta Hawks -1 1Q - $200 loss

Days result: 1-2 -$216
YTD: 6-3 +$184

Things to consider which can be added to Mavin's method:  in 7 out of 8 games tonight the original underdog covered the spread (including Philly before the RLM), and in 5 of the them the under prevailed, and in only 2 of these games the favourite got a SU win (3 when Miami's win is confirmed).

Adding to that the fact most of my leans were correct - and to think I ended up not betting on any of them; hindsight sure is a girl - I think I'll focus on totals and underdogs on saturdays. It adds a clear objective to my research and makes figuring out the specifics and keeping an eye on line movements easier. Best of luck for tomorrow.

I like Sacramento -1.5 2H.  Miami is shooting 56% and Sacramento is shooting 37%.  That will likely even out in the second half.  Sacramento also has twice as many turnovers, which should even out as well.  Finally, I'm guessing the Heat will take their foot off the gas and cruise down the stretch rather than press for a bigger lead.

Way to hunt for bankers: same as the Bulls over the Knicks, Dallas is doing the same to the Grizzlies. When line movement that rapid against the logic and public as well and the game is not at the end of the day or the opener - go for the team in who's favor the line moved

Head to Head Bucks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Toronto.
Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Toronto.
Bucks are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. So Mavin there's a lil something more to chew on I hate to bet against streaks but that's y I'm in a Delema the public played the over cause of the trends in the o/u is that y the RLM changed from what it opened to what it is
Interested in Ur reply thanx Mavin

Honestly Mavin, you are looking way too much into the stats and lines and stuff.  Overthinking plays, I went through the same stuff and it kills you in the end.  Started off hot going with the basics of line movement...now you are playing halves and quarters and all that jazz.  You will continue to fall towards and below 50% if you keep that up.

the above is for ...

$5 to win $892

Of course 3 of those games are early and on live bet so making the $5 back should not be an issue but I think the knicks are due for a bounce back-

Also this 7 team 6 pt teaser

$50 for $400

7 Team Teaser 6, 6½, 7 pts Football & 5½, 6,6½ pts Basketball

Chill out dude I do make picks with info to back it up- research the posts- I also make small parlays to kick of my day-

Speaking of retarded bet I have never won anything bigger than $1200 on the lotto, I however have hit 5-12 teams parlays and teasers multiple times in the last 60 days- I can show you the proof but then again you will think I made it up. Chill out.

You hit it. Ive refrained from being negative but Im gonna say it- Turbo you are doing axactly the opposite of what Mavin is teaching us and its getting annoying. If you have taken anything from this thread at all, the one thing Mavin has drilled is PARLAYS ARE SUCKER BETSand you are taking them to the extreme. You are gambling, not handicapping. If you win, thats a nice hit but not only are the odds extremely against you, it doesnt help others who are trying to learn and absorb the great information and gems that are hidden in this thread. Please stop. I mean this with the utmost respect
