    i have lost it, don't have the touch anymore

    before 10 days i was hitting like 56-57 %, was up nice 20units, then it all started with 5 units loss on oklahoma vs lac
    and since then it has been ups and downs and now i am currently up only 10 units. But the bigger problem is i can't get in the flow of the game-picking , now i am like a coin-flipper 1 up 1 down and so on
    Yesterday i got unbelievable push, in Polish game i needed less than 11 points for 65 sec. The visitors were up by 17. So was assuming that no motivation to hurry is enough to hit- well 20 sec to go and it is a push, i could have even lost it. What can i say..........
    Need some big confidence booster, and i am unable to find it.........

    Week before playoffs, shit is rigged, big time.

    Same thing happened to me, well, not as bad, but I couldn't believe the horrible luck I was having last week. I'm sure playoff, things will go back to normal.

    "touch"... you make it sound like you're playing basketball. You have to realize you're not in control of what other players do since you're behind your computer screen. The best you can do is predict out of experience, if you feel your predictions are off then stop and analyze your strategy.

    you just gotta follow of the flow of the season bro


    tail hot streaks
    fade cold streaks


    the knicks were 0-10 ATS there for a while and now have covered 3 straight
    lakers were on fire and are now have lost 3 straight


    recognize streaks early before they really start going and cash in on them


    easiest way to bet

    well i might have lost some as i have betting on feeling of the game, like last night sac+12, they were playing really well lately and i felt like spurs will not push that much, as the top seed is relatively safe
    still i ended up on the wrong side

    the problem is that bad teams are very unpredictable


    sacramento has been playing great with 2 monster losses sandwiched in between


    Denver + 6 (they have been on fire and play great against Dallas) and Golden State + 7 (very good home team facing a struggling LA team) were the safest bets


    you gotta look at matchups and avoid unpredictable games as much as possible. The sacramento game was a solid bet but again a bit unpredictable

    yo lets be honest here now 90% of us who tried to make the correct play this week probably got owned (save for those who try to win the lottery by betting heavy underdogs this week in which case $$$$ for them)

    so many upsets and spoilers winning this week, after today I've pretty much decided that it's best to wrap it up for the rest of the regular season, because at this point I don't want to place a bet on a team only to find one of their starters sitting in a suit on the sidelines.

    if you had a bad week like i did

    Just avoid teams that have playoff positions sewn up, especially the Lakers.

    I still think Bulls Celtics tomorrow will be a great game to wager where both teams are gonna be playing hard. Not sure what to think about the Spurs' record situation, given that the Bulls are 1 game behind them right now. Do they keep playing hard and keeping up the record? Or are they satisfied if they drop to #2 in the NBA?

    what do you mean? What does the bulls record have to do with the spurs record?

    Bulls are the only team left in the NBA with a realistic chance of catching the Spurs in overall record. In case they meet in the finals.

    dodgy game. I wouldnt touch that. maybe live in play for a fun bet on boston. In regards to the thread maker wait for the playoffs and bet the farm on lakers game 1 and 2 ml. theyre gonna bash new orleans. double digit wins.
