Totals are more volatile to predict than spreads.. so I find it difficult to recommend any sort of blind betting system that only compares those numbers to the Vegas lines.. but that said, if you were to do something like that, I would recommend a 'percentage-variance' type of system like you suggest rather than a +/- based system.

Mrs. Silly took me to the weekend rounds at Augusta for our wedding anniversary this past year.  If I died and had to pick one place on earth to spend eternity, it would be Augusta National.  It's the most spectacular place I've ever been.  We spent all day Sunday sitting at the corner at 13.  We could see the entire 13th hole from tee to green and still hear the crowds at both amen corner and 15/16 valley.  On Saturday, I think we covered every square inch of the grounds, I couldn't leave without seeing everything.  Anyways, I digress, here's my posted record on Covers:

'10-11 NBA:  90-67  (57.3%)  +19.90u
'10-11 NBA-P:  30-16  (65.2%)  +18.25u
'10-11 NCAAB:  8-1  (88.9%)  +7.90u
'10-11 NHL-P:  11-4  (73.3%)  +7.00u
'10-11 MLB:  97-66  (59.8%)  +31.61u
'10-11 MLB-P:  9-3  (75.0%)  +9.22u
'11-12 NCAAF:  16-21  (43.2%)  -7.40u
'11-12 NCAAF-P:  9-6  (60.0%)  +1.65u
'11-12 NFL:  42-35  (54.5%)  +5.05u
'11-12 NFL-P:  5-5  (50.0%)  -0.40u
'11-12 NCAAB:  9-3  (75.0%)  +5.70u
'11-12 NCAAB-P:  5-3  (62.5%)  +1.60u
'11-12 NBA:  77-80  (49.0%)  -13.28u
'11-12 NBA-P:  23-20  (53.2%)  +2.30u
'11-12 NHL-P:  2-1  (66.6%)  +1.10u
'11-12 MLB:  130-86 (60.2%)  +38.27u
'11-12 MLB-P:  1-1 (50.0%)  +0.35u

'12-13 NFL:  24-11  (68.6%)  +17.50u

I would have bought the hook for Chicago and taken them -3 (-116) if I had that line.

Teasing across the 0 line only crosses 1 key number - not enough.  Last weekend was a good week for teasers and I went 1-2 (although I only lost by a half point on the Bears).  This week, I don't see as many teasers opportunities.  It's a better card to play straight.

it's never a good idea to cross the zero in teasers - you lose a lot value and now you have it landing on a key number of 3 on top of it which is bad because teasers bets (most of the time) lose on a tie

Awesome! I've been there about 4 times and I still can't get over how glorious that place is. My father has been lucky enough to play a few times and noted that its damned near impossible. Truly is an amazing place. 

Awesome record! Will be interested to see your final card for this weekend. BOL

Liking LSU +9.5 their defense is top in the country, the only reason they lost to the Gators was because Minter and a few others went down on defense all in the span of 2 minutes, Florida opened the game up and never looked back. LSU defense can play with anyone and I can't see LSU's offense getting any worse. 

Do you think LSU's defense has enough to keep them in the game with turnovers and short fields??

Agreed, 30 cents is too steep for that move.  I had the same option to play both games at -125 moving the juice 20 cents.. but decided against it for the same reasons.

Now that MLB post season is over, I can devote more time to the NFL.

Thanks for the hard work on the 2012 MLB Sheets this season.

@ Sily

@JMT908

I've  heard before that crossing zero is a no, no. However, "tie" would result in a push with my book. It was just a thought...reason they call it a "sucker" bet...But for some reason, can't seem to shake the fact this looks good!!! LOL...GL....

Gonna put in some early ones before the lines get inflated:

DEN -3.5 -105
CHI -3.5 -105
TB ML +105
BAL -3.5 -105 (coming off bye week)

I think these are going to be my only plays for the week.

TB ML & Den -3.5 +300 - 2 units
CHI & DEN & BAL +350 - 1 units
TB ML +105 - 4 units

If anybody is itching to play some opening night NBA action.. I would recommend the Celtics +6.5 as the best bet on the board.  I also lean under in the same game.

Too many unknowns in LA to get a read on that inflated spread.

Why would you want any money on the other game?  Who's playing again?

I can guarantee that Boston will put out 100% effort here and I think they have the better defense on the floor.  I think defense will dictate the pace of the game.  And in this type of physical battle, I'd rather take the points with the team that I know will be putting out maximum effort.  I wouldn't even be surprised to see the C's when outright.  Miami is the better team, no question.  Basketball games go to the team with the most effort more times than not.
