Total Domination!! Thanks for the comments guys! Buying points on GS and LA definitely paid off. It hurts sometimes paying (-150) for a point and a half (Greek) but it is worth it when it helps!!!

16 - 5 - 1 +20 Units

Tomorrow: Toronto / OK City

JohnMorr08 · 12-19-08, 10:57 AM

The line has moved to -6 (Greek). So, I'm buying the 1.5...

Toronto -4.5 1 Unit

The Raptors scare me a bit since they've been terrible as of late but not only does the game fall into the system, the Raptors are still the #15 team in the league while the Thunder are #30 (LAST).

Sorry you lost some "good money" on this pick but it was only a 1 unit play. You should never step out on a play.... keep it consistent and don't bet more than 4% of your bankroll.

This is of course if you want to win in the long run!!!

Right back at it... Toronto +12 (-150 greek)

Cant see the Raptors beating that spread against the Spurs, theyre pretty dire at the moment. I'm taking the hit on the loss last night and gonna leave this series as it is

Good luck to you though!

17 - 6 - 1 +22 Units

Sorry I forgot to post that Toronto was for 3 Units...
For anyone that doesn't know any team I pick is for 1 unit. If they lose I bet 3 units on the next game... and 5 on the 3rd. It stops there.... whether I lose or win it's back to 1 unit. Every once in a while I'll step it up like LA over Philly a week or so ago.

JohnMorr08 · 12-23-08, 08:45 AM

Sitting at 17 - 6 - 1 +22 Units

Technically OKC fits in the original system however through a filter I will pass on this series.
Quite frankly, the Thunder are Terrible.

Next play will be on Christmas Day.... let's just say it'll be a great game and I will be backing a team wearing GREEN!!!!

The_Kid · 12-23-08, 02:00 PM

Boston Celtics on Christmas Day! If they are underdogs, I will be on that faster than you can say, Merry Christmas!

JohnMorr08 · 12-24-08, 07:24 PM

12/25/08 Boston Celtics +4

Going to wait and see if I can get 2.5 to buy a half... otherwise buying 2

Good Luck and Merry Christmas to all!!!

12/28

Denver -2 at NYK (as long as 'Melo plays) 1 Unit

JohnMorr08 · 12-31-08, 01:20 PM

What's up gents...

This System is 26 - 8 - 1 (over 74%) for the year... The way I play it.

Since I started this thread we are 19 - 8 - 1 +19 Units.

Lets keep it rolling.... Looking at Houston & Sacramento on Friday!!!

Happy New Year!

whats your system?

Pubster,

My bets are based on the John Morrison system. The system is attached for you to browse. I worked for him for 5 years and have adjusted some filters on my own to make it successful using my own Bankroll.

Some major differences: I barely ever buy the full 3 points because I use the Greek and they offer 3 points at (-220). And I adjust my bets using a form of the "Labouchere System" for money management... google it.

pubster77 · 01-01-09, 08:49 PM

is there anyplace you can buy three points for -170? Isnt that a big part of the system?

JohnMorr08 · 01-02-09, 08:34 AM

If you buy 3 points it is true that your winning % will be higher. I only buy 1.5 to 2 points and have been extremely successful.

Honestly, it's really all in your Money Management System. Because if you bet 1 unit and lose, your betting 2.5 to 3 units on the next game ... if you are buying 3 points at -220 you can see that you'll be putting MOST of your bankroll on the 3rd bet to win 1 unit.

The only places you can buy 3 points at -170 are places that have Terrible SBR Ratings like BetUS, EZbets, etc. All the sites that don't want to pay you went you cash out.

Houston Rockets (ML -170) at Toronto 2 Units

Holding off on Sacramento for now... They are an abysmal 2-13 on the road (mostly blowouts)

onlinepokerpro31 · 01-02-09, 11:55 AM

pubster77 · 01-02-09, 11:43 PM

NBA Hero · 01-03-09, 08:46 AM

JohnMorr08 · 01-03-09, 11:55 AM

19 - 9 - 1 + 17 Units

Houston Rockets +7 at Atlanta 5 Units

buying 2

black666 · 01-04-09, 08:40 AM

today detroit should be a play, going on a 3 game road-trip against the other conference.

@Clippers
@Portland
@Denver

Inv1ctus · 01-04-09, 08:43 AM

Yeah but they're without Hamilton and Sheed, also Mcdyess is questionable. But I might play them nevertheless cause Clippers are also banged up and they're a very poor team.

JohnMorr08 · 01-04-09, 11:13 AM

Haha Do you guys really think it's necessary to tell me when there is a play??

20 - 9 - 1 +22 Units

Detroit Pistons -3.5 at LA Clippers

buying 2

black666 · 01-04-09, 11:20 AM

Yeah... If they were playing Boston, LA or Cle I wouldn't play them due to injuries but the Clips are dreadful and dealing with injuries themselves.

JohnMorr08 · 01-04-09, 06:26 PM

20 - 10 - 1 +20 Units

1/5

Indiana Pacers +10 at Denver 2 Units

pubster77 · 01-05-09, 12:14 AM

So are you going to continue with the detroit series? they have a couple tough teams in their next few games and may not have their injured players back.

seanjohn007 · 01-05-09, 05:49 AM

how do you decide which games you buy points on? is that part of your system or does that come from seperate handicapping? looks like the system is working great for you.

seanjohn007

JohnMorr08 · 01-05-09, 09:07 AM

Pubster... Yes I will continue with the Detroit series. They don't play again until Wednesday. By then they may have at least one of them (Sheed / Hamilton) back. They are on a big streak without them...

SeanJohn... Buying points (in this thread) comes from my own capping. It is recomended that you buy 3 for every game. But unless you have an unlimited bankroll you'll go broke if you end up playing multiple games.

black666 · 01-05-09, 10:55 AM

wouldn't betting 2 units on the first road game (like with the pacers game) also impact your bankroll?

at -140 you would need to bet $280 to win $200. If they lose, you would have to bet $672 to win $480 ($280 loss from previous bet and $200 you want to win). At the 3rd bet you would then bet $1612 to win $1152 ($280 + $672 lost from bet 1 + 2 and $200 you want to win). That would be betting 16 units to win 2.

Hello "John"

Why nis it that you do not use your real name when posting in the forum?

JohnMorr08 · 01-05-09, 12:22 PM

black... Yes betting 2 Units would impact your bankroll !! In this thread I am merely posting how "I" am using the system. And as I mentioned a few posts back I use a certain money management system where when I clear a certain number of wins I increase the size of my bets. I am +20 Units so I can afford to start betting 2 units on A best as opposed to 1.

Of course, if you are just starting out you have to decide what is comfortable for you in the situation where we'd reach bet B, or C.

Underdog... I am really not sure what your comment means. I am posting plays acccording to the John Morrison system hence the name. My real name is irrelevant. Does anyone use their real name?
