    Not all books do this though, and some books take an even bigger cut like bookmaker (10 cents)

    Asian handicaps are not used in basketball but in football or so called soccer. It's a form of spread betting originated from Indonesia. It's also used for alternate totals in soccer. I never seen it used in NBA by any standard books.

    I guess that is like buying points. Yes I buy points

    And to sum that up asians are used in NHL. I don't know way but for example bet365 has them in live bets - you can't play them earlier..

    You should go back to making your thread a bit more entertaining. It's nice to preface your picks with phrases like "fresh from the oven".

    Thanks for the picks! Always look forward to these.

    It's interesting how you seem to make picks that aren't typical (e.g., ATS, O/U). You tend to go for the 1H, 1Q and TT picks. It's rare to find people who are good who find edges in these areas.
