primero me gustaria decir algo en español por si alguien lo entiende,este tio cuelga las apuestas gratis no?pues entonces que cojones estais diciendo si no os gustan sus apuestas lo mejor que podeis hacer es iros a tomar por el culo. yo sigo a mucha gente de covers gente que sabe mas que yo y que lleva mucho mas tiempo que yo en las apuestas pero lo ago para cojer ideas y compartir opiniones, y a mi me parece q el chico este esta aciendo un trabajo bueno,pero es normal que tenga dias malos, sobretodo  con gente como vosotros que os creis los mejores y en realidad lo que sois muchos ,sabeis que sois? ¿sois unos fracasados...sigue asi mavin a mi me parece genial lo que haces tio de verdad. hay un refran en mi tierra que dice... no  hay mejor desprecio que no hacer aprecio

First I would like to say something in Spanish if anyone understands it, this guy hangs free bets no? well then what the darn are you saying if you do not like betting the best you can do is go away to take it up the behind. I still covers many people from people who know more than me and that takes a lot longer than me in the betting but ago to grab ideas and share opinions, and I think this is the guy q aciendo a good job, but is normal to have bad days, especially with people like you who creis the best and in fact they are many, know that you are? Are ye a failed ... so Mavin still seems to me what you do great guy really. There is a saying in my country that says ... no better than doing appreciation contempt

If you follow your own advises - you just might make it on time for your monthly recount Sir. Every great beginning has a fall at some stage and its success depends on your ability to refocus. Keep the eye on the ball, stop living your own legendary thread and get back to basic handicapping. That is all you need to do at this stage. Otherwise - if you'll continue to play a nice hostess for the thread and worry more of its popularity than your picks - it will seize to be interesting. And the truth to be said - you're about to risk your good reputation as a trader if you fail to do that.

Was this just the odd time the tactic backfired on Vegas?

Clippers shot a higher percentage from 3s then houston did from the freethrow line, need i say more?

Yesterday: 1-3

MIL-LAL OVER - LOSS

(good pace in the 1H, and then... ehhh)

NOH-PHI UNDER - LOSS

LAC-HOU OVER - WIN  

POR-DEN  UNDER - LOSS 

(o.t. killed this one...)

I think I’ve forced a little NOH-PHI bet - learning from mistakes...

I feel good about other 3 picks - just needed more luck!

 

Today’s play:

CHI-TOR - UNDER 183,5

Similar situation as yesterday with Houston Over - line seems not right (oppened at 185, then correction at 184, and is droping). In my opinion it should be closer to 190... Invitation from the books to bet OVER...

My record: 4-6

Dont overthink all the time.  Sometimes all this talk about reverse line movement and such just confuses the issue.  Sure observing line movement is a part of capping, but lay the foundation first by crunching numbers, look at the scheduling, the refs, injuries, trends, etc.  When your done look at what line you have and compare it with the linesmakers.  If you have an advantage, write it down then observe the line.  Dont just use one facet of handicapping and try and cut corners.  Even after all the hard work you can still go thru a losing period.  Its a grind!  By the way I like the over 183.5 in that game.  Good luck!

I want to start tracking all this stuff, but have no idea where you guys can collect all information. If it is not a secret, where do you guys to find trends and all stats? Thank you! I would like to export that information and try to crunch numbers myself.

This...

Honestly SportsMavin, I wanted to make this post VERY EARLY in your thread beginnings, but I didn't.  I think I will now, however...

You know, you're really talented.  And I believe that you can be that top 2% of long-haul moneymakers in this business.  And I know what you're trying to do with this thread, extremely noble and commendable.  But...I think there's one facet of gambling that's not really being focused on by you, if I will.  And that is the fact that it's a tug of war, but not between us bettors and the books, but between US BETTORS.  You understand how this sports investing system works, as a whole.  You can't SAVE everyone.  HELL, you shouldn't want to, in my humble opinion.  To be clear, I understand you want everyone to be SUCCESSFUL.  SportsMavin, you know it as well as I do, THAT CAN'T HAPPEN.  We (the MASS of us sports bettors) are naive, brash, reckless (LEMMINGS); we carry this approach through our everyday way of life, hence our UNPRODUCTIVENESS.  You've done your Good Samaritan deed, you've gave some valuable insight on how this system works, good job.  I KNOW what has/was going to happen, this morphed thread is one example of it, of the MASSES (casual bettors).  You'd like to still contribute and help your brethren?  Post your picks here/on your blog, and don't respond...

This is a public forum, but this post was made SPECIFICALLY for SportsMavin.  No malice, foul, or disrespect was intended to any one person.  I just wouldn't like to see one of our "shinning stars" succumb to...outside influences, when he doesn't need to, is all.

Good luck, everyone...

looking at -dallas -4 Nowitzky rounding into form as is the team

               -washington +4 i think they will continue to surge with wall in line-up now

               -atlanta -3.5 this looks almost like the same situation as the clippers/memphis game on monday.

Mavin,

Interesting game in Orlando with the Pacers coming to town. The best under team vs. a prolific over team.  Total is 186.5. 

Didn't want to touch the total?  Any thoughts out there?
