I actually like the Under here. And also not sure one brother will beat the other one by more than a FG. So, it;s the Ravens and the points with Under for me.

Lost $100 on the clips earlier- I thought Boston would tire down- almost got the win- They played a horrible first half on defense (clips)

Mavin Great call on MIA wanted to parlay under and miami -5 but by the time I got home the game had started- Wanted Ravens and over B+2 at 46 and also missed that- the earlier parlay is still in play need two more touch downs-

Also have Bal over 10 on live bet and SF under 14.5 $50 and $20 respectably.

And used this 2H for a parlay for tomorrow as well...

I guess the black out was the momentum changer- for my superbowl boxes needed a 49ers score and a two point conversion-

Great card today. I really like today's NBA.
I like Minnesota to follow up on their win and repeat it against Portland this time. Those first wins after consecutive losses have a trend of following up. The Trail Blazers aren't exactly a strong away team and besides - this is the time for the Timber Wolves to avenge their last loss and the loss before that at home.

Final:
MINNESOTA T'Wolves -3  (-110)  110$

I like the teams in Washington to be slow paced and in order for the local team to have some chance - they have to slow the pace while the Clips too are way too undermanned to keep the pace up.

Final:
Under 187  WASHINGTON Wizards - LA Clippers

Does anyone else find it that is so much easier and profitable to make money when there are less games on the board? is it because there is less homework to do- or do you think there is something else to this- but when I see 3-5 games on the board I seem to make better more educated picks-

There is something in what you say - but I personally like big boards

A big board does allow me to better configure my $1 parlay of the day etc. and for you and most others it gives more options from which to try and cap a winner- I was think though that games tend to be easier to pick on small boards because the money has less places to go if that makes any sense- like in the stock market on earnings the less you have on the board the more volatility and volume you get on the big names on the board because of traders $$$ going in and out.

Has anyone looked into the diff in line movements and the public spread on big to small board days good comp would be yesterday and today after today is over.

I also like the small boards :) i don't know why, but if there are too many games i quickly get confused or mix some lines and not quite sure what to do - but I've found a way - i first check the board and eliminate few games that really stink to me or I have no clue on the game.. then it gets back to 3-5 games which is easier for me...

On big boards I usually do my $1 ten team parlay and then pick out up to 3 lines to bet on.
