RabidGolfer Picks

0-0-0

Hey all, I've been killing it recently and decided to start tracking my record here. In the last week I went 22-9-1 (I won't count those in my running count since I didn't post them ahead of time). I'm not a capper, I just bet my gut. If I quit, it's probably because my winning streak ended...ha!

Anyway, here's for Monday Night NBA (using Bovada):

Sac -5 (bought .5 pts)
Dallas -7
LA Clips +4 (bought .5 pts)
Chicago -4 (bought .5 pts)
Boston -11
Washington -1 (bought .5 pts)
Utah +3

Equal bets on all

There's a cover in every game, right?

Here's a PDF printout of my Bovada bet history for the last week (in case anyone really cares to double check my claim). Again, I don't bet big, but recently I've been betting right. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1jX...FhZlg1RDQ/edit

6-0-1

Disclaimer: I'm not good enough to hit 6 wins and 0 losses every night. Last night was awesome, but I got lucky. Good luck to all!

Okay, here we go for 1-15-2013:

Milwaukee +6
Indiana -7 (bought .5 pts)
Philadelphia -3
Toronto +7
Houston -3
Portland +9

Equal bets on all, plus a very very small parlay on all six (because I'm kicking myself for not parlaying last night and taking a 50 to 1 payout).

[RabidGolfer]

8-3-2

Okay, obviously was a rough night. Here's how I ended up:

Milwaukee +6 Lost
Indiana -7 (bought .5 pts) Win
Philadelphia -3 Lost
Toronto +7 Push
Houston -3 Lost
Portland +9 Win

I'm over trying to pick on every game. Tomorrow will probably be two or three games I feel strongly about. Hope others did better.

[RabidGolfer]

Wins 8
Losses 3
Pushes 2


I feel a lot more confident about tonight's picks. Here's what I'm going with:

San Antonio Spurs -5 (bought 0.5 pts)
Dallas Mavericks -4
Brooklyn Nets +3
Indiana Pacers -1 (bought 0.5 pts)
Golden State Warriors +2

I know I said two or three, but these five jumped out at me as obvious winners. Plus, I like to "diversify my portfolio" a bit. GLTA

Wins 10

Here are last nights results:
San Antonio Spurs -5 (bought 0.5 pts) Win
Dallas Mavericks -4 Win
Brooklyn Nets +3 Loss
Indiana Pacers -1 (bought 0.5 pts) Loss
Golden State Warriors +2 Loss

I had another 2-3 night, which is starting to hurt. I'm going to be even more conservative tonight however, and try to bet big on a couple of games. I'm leaning toward:

Lakers -1
Minnesota +5

I welcome your thoughts.

Sorry guys, picked these last night but didn't get a chance to post.

San Antonio -6.5
Charlotte +6.5
New Orleans -6.5

I'm considering a bet on the Bulls at home +1 against the Lakers, but this line has me nervous. Seems to me it should be Bulls -5. Not sure... Anyway, GLTA

Milwaukee -6 Win.

[RabidGolfer]

18-12-2

Two for today:

Toronto +11
Denver +2

Toronto had a bad start, but I think they're underrated and will keep it a close game
Houston is overrated, struggling, coming off a rough road trip. Denver has been doing well as of late. I think Denver wins straight up, but I'll take the points for good measure.

Possibly more to come if I have time to look.

Yes, I've been fading Houston successfully for a couple of weeks. They had a good record to start the season, but they've been sucking ATS. Out of their last 8 games, they've lost 7 and only won against Charlotte (not such a great team either). I think Denver is heating up and Houston has cooled off, even if their season records don't reflect it.

[RabidGolfer]

18-12-2

Adding two more:

LAL +4
Golden State +2

By now, I think the Lakers struggles are widely known and everybody is fading them. My hunch is that this line is skewed based on the news. Memphis has been sucking too and I think the Lakers show up tonight to take advantage of them.

Golden State is getting their shooting % back, especially from the 3 pt line. They are going to come out prepared against the Thunder, and I think they take them down. They've been awesome this year, esp at home. Now that everybody is relatively healthy this should be a great game. With 96% of the public on the Thunder, I'll take Golden State.

Keep it going RabidGolfer!

Yeah, they have a lot of issues. Simply reading the ESPN preview on this game made it clear to me that Memphis is the favorite simply because of LAL's high profile suckage right now. Suckage or no suckage, they have some very talented players. Giving them +4 seems generous to me against this team, so I'll take it.

[RabidGolfer]

21-13-2

Toronto +11 Win
Denver +2 Win
LA Lakers +4 Loss
Golden State +2 Win

3-1 tonight. Shouldn't have messed with the Lakers, but I guess I've learned my lesson. Golden State didn't let me down!

[RabidGolfer]

21-13-2

So far:

Toronto +4
LAC -6

GLTA

[RabidGolfer]

21-13-2

Added:

Boston +1

I'm not as confident about this game. I'm simply fading all the people that are claiming the Knicks are a lock. Seems like every time we have a low spread with a dog at home against a team that should win by a bigger margin, there's an upset coming and the books know it. This is more psychological than statistical, but it seems like handicapping the public is sometimes more consistent than handicapping the teams. GL with whatever you all choose.

[RabidGolfer]

So...a much better handicapper than me picked all three games totally opposite my picks. Tonight is either going to suck for him, or me. Let's hope it's him.
