Hey I'm an egotistic degen who loves a quick pay day. I have a couple of wins and it gets to my head and I'm think I'm a legend so I start spinning out huge plays left right and center. I love the action, I'm a complete action junkie. I love to let everyone know about my wins when I'm doing good but I'm lifeless when I lose. I have been annihalated lately, what do I do. I try and stop being a kunt and have money management but after a win or two I get my ego back. How do I stop this, I wish I had the virtue of patience like you do. Please if you have any advice I need it

Mavin   ?

2 games tonight

21 games the next two days

What is the best way to determine if there is enough value to bet game tonight with only two games and make the best pick or just wait until tomorrow with 11 games?

Thanks Mavin for answering me.

I am not worthy and I resolve to be a handicapper and not a DEGEN in 2013!

Just best value for the day or must it reach a certain threshold? and what is everybodys line to determine if there is value in a bet, Which is kind of hard unless you are going strickly by a formula.

Dont ask me I'm a complete degenerate and selfish too..No but in reality, I love action too buddy and I think in a small way we all do.  I have been betting on too many games lately and even though i have been winning a good percentage of them I need to slow down myself and luckilly I have good people on this thread that remind me of this.....and also when my ego needs to go in check.  My opinion parlay is to stay on this thread and you might learn a thing or two from some really good people.  The people that do piss you off or act like jerks just ignore them.  For instance i picked charlotte 2 days ago and they win straight up as a huge underdog, then i pick portland against knicks and they win as an underdog, then i pick dallas and they lead most the game yesterday and take heat to overtime.  Then today i was thinking about the guy yesterday that called me a con artist and teo be honest it really pissed me off.  But you know, who cares I'm not hear to argue and everyone will have their own opinion of people.  I am here to help people out but also because i need help and luckily everyone can work as a team (with Marvin as the leader) and we can win money.  Thats the beauty of this, I myself need to slow down, stay consistent, and you know what stay happy and be non judgmental and keep my ego in check.  My feeling is parlay if you stay around, you will learn alot here especially from Marvin....I know i already have...he's my master....hahaha

Manstar10 - no plays as of yet.
Eryximaque - I hear you - but this is Thursday - picking logically is not gonna do you any good.
way2quirk - thanks
sm1975 - 
Heads - still have no leans of my own,GL
Legend00 - Although the Under 201.5 looks better than over 205 (the line it opened) you might consider buying some points.

Spurs i feel better about simply because Knicks have been struggling a little bit and the spurs have won 7 straight now since they finally got fully healthy.  If you remember how the Spurs started the season and how well they did against the spread then you obviously remember how well they can play when they are at full strength.  Having Kawhi Leonard, Steven Jackson, and Neal all healthy makes a big difference in their lineup.  In the 7 straight games the closest win they had was by 5 points.  However the reason Im not jumping to take them is obviously the Knicks are one of the best home teams in the NBA and they are also healthier but still somewhat banged up with Amare just coming back, Melo and Chandler still with minor ankle and knee problems.  (though melo sure didnt look to injured against portland lol).  Both these teams have good depth and since Spurs are on a back to back they might have a little more limited minutes for the old veterans.  

With Lawson most likely out for the Nuggets I think there is a decent shot that Minn and Denver game goes under.  The last 5 uptempo teams Minn played, OKC, HOUSTON, NYK, MIA, PHX, the highest total besides the game against PHX was 195. Infact only 6 outta Minn 28 games have gone over 200,  but last time they played Denver there was 213 points,which I think is why the total was so high and because Denvers always uptempo offense.  

With that being said right now these are small leans and I'm not sure about betting either.....waiting to hear from Mavin......BOL TO YOU GUYS...
Agree with every word you said melosjumper7

You pretty much summed it up. You pretty well what to do. Just do it. Play the games posted with exact units posted and don't play into hands of the books. It will take time till you'll feel you're doing the right thing. But at the end of the month you'll know that is the only right way to do it!

I am waiting so far to see if there's any dramatic developments tonight. If I won't feel confident enough - I will pass on tonight as I have already done in the past. You right about tomorrows being a great card.

Manstar good luck on KNICKS pk....Trust me I hope they beat the f-in Spurs.  I'm a big fan of the Knicks and Melo and though I like betting the the Spurs a lot I also like rooting against them, especially tonight.  BOL THOUGH

Ok, The Knicks have already beaten the Spurs this season in SA. So, will the Spurs lose a season series? Will Amar'e be a problem for the Knicks or will bear some value? Will it be a shootout like in SA? If that was a regular day game and not Thursday - the pick would most probably be Over and the Spurs. 
Denver is a clear favorite here and we're all under impression of their win against the Clips and the T'Wolves demise in Utah. Now, is that possible that the T'Wolves will continue their demise and the Nuggets will roll all over them? Or the opposite is the true and against all odds the T'wolves will simply over run Lawson less Nuggets and also get the Over?
I have no clear answers as of yet for those questions. Because there are none right now
