apologies for not having time to post yesterday.  Did quite well.  Swept all my straight up picks and hit 1 parlay...

Tonight is actually a tough night, some tough spreads and lots of variables in the games.  At first sight, there seems to be some steals.  But, I believe i should be positive tonight.  I will also update my record soon.

picks for tonight:

.1 unit on phila ml 25.5  good odds for a team that just got totally demoralized previous night, and sort of gave houston a bit of trouble last game.  Warning: for those that don't know what i mean, .1 unit means i am putting just 10% of my normal bet on this game.  the chances of this is VERY low of happening.

14 Nov 6:35pmBasketball - NBAUtah Jazz v New York KnicksGame: Utah Jazz +4 1.933 (-107)

14 Nov 6:05pmBasketball - NBAMilwaukee Bucks v Orlando MagicGame: Milwaukee Bucks +3 1.952 (-105)

Pending14 Nov 6:35pmBasketball - NBAUtah Jazz v New York KnicksGame: over 191.5 1.952 (-105)

Basketball - NBADenver Nuggets v Indiana PacersGame: under 197 1.865 (-116)

14 Nov 6:05pmBasketball - NBADenver Nuggets v Indiana PacersGame: Indiana Pacers -3 1.961 (-104)

Bonus:

Pending14 Nov 5:00pmBasketball - NCAA Presbyterian v DukeGame: Presbyterian +38.5 1.804 (-124)

Don't see Duke covering 38.5 first game of the season, as Presbyterian has some returning key players.

sigh duke game played at cameron indoor... thought it was neutral arena bc coaches v cancer classic.  lost that.

[Xiaoxiao]

really need phila to beat houston.  I actually put a lot more in unbroadcasted bets on the ML... getting over 25 to 1.

right now it is pretty much tied with 5 min left in the 4th.  PHila was up a good 7 8 points in early in the 4th.  and melo just hit the 3 to tie the game with 2.2 sec left.  un real, if it goes over time it could potentially ruin the plus 4 lock for utah.


YES YES YES, burke just hit the corner jumper with 2.2 left, unbelievable shot.  GAME OVER NOT GOING OT.

[Xiaoxiao]

sigh phil loses 77 -78  ... would have been huge for me...25 to 1 odds....

[statdude]

tough ML loss, that woulda been sick

[Xiaoxiao]

tough ML loss, that woulda been sick

It was just absolutely UNREAL what happened.  Phi up by 3 with 30 sec left and their ball, turns it over, Harden gets 2 shots plus PHI coach gets a technical foul by kicking the ball (like wtf really?). Phi STILL up 1 with 20 sec left and THEIR ball.  TURNS IT OVER AGAIN.  Harden scores, and still 9 sec left and they dont score.

Probably the toughest lost I've ever taken here.  26 to 1 odds....

How much are you paid for your picks?

[mikejones369]

Thanks for the picks. Made my Saturday more enjoyable!   

[Xiaoxiao]

How much are you paid for your picks?

Nothing.  I am doing this for free right now.  Will probably do a subscription service starting early December, because I put in A LOT of work from watching film (downloading HD full games) to analysis of stats, momentum of teams, matchups, rotations, team morale, so i try to factor in everything.

I'm really sorry I forgot to post on this day:

won a lot of my picks like 9/10 and several small mess around parlays... overall turned .25 into 3 btc's... very good day... made great picks and ran well.













I would say try not to bet more than 5% of your normal bet for parlays.  They can really eat up at you.  I had a streak where I was going 7/8, 4/5 etc on parlays and lost about 30-50 parlays in a row while still winning straight bets.

It can be tough.
