Macks Thread O/U NBA ... as requested..

[Time is Money]

2-1. Bad bad beat on the Wolves game, can't believe that game fell short.

[BigBoi]

Wolves are notorious for strong first halves and then falling apart in the 2nd. 18 and 19 in the 3rd and 4th as a team did it in.

[Tkost051]

So the o-over n-no play u- under??? Correct the machine looks pretty impressive I must say

[usma1992]

Hey... I appreciate the feedback...23-14 so far...

I am a little surprised at how good it looks....I used all the lessons I had from college basketball and applied them to NBA...enjoy Dave The beauty is that it takes me less than 5 minutes now to download the games and put the picks in...

[gartca]

Great job. I can't wait for your CBB picks.

Question for the board?

Maybe this is a rhetorical question. I know that there are a lot of handicappers out there. I am sure some are successful...I know most are not and most don't tell the truth either. My question is ... how many systems(computer or otherwise) have you actually seen work. Right now, I believe that I have 3 systems working...NFL--works this year with 5 years of past data showing the same thing, using the same parameters and weighting. College basketball--worked last year and I made money on it... I now have 3 years of past data with 1 full year of live successful betting. NBA is obviously working--I have the 2 previous years prior to this year and what you have currently seen year to date. As some know, I advertised in the NY times for capital and I waiting to hear from 4 different parties....but it is hard to put a price tag on what I am offering. How many systems have you seen out there that work? Thanks DaveI am considering adjusting my parameters for the second half of the season. I noticed that after the all star break... the system only hit 56%. Maybe the dynamic changes over the course of the season... and I need to account for that. Haven't decided yet of course that is a long way off.

[usma1992]

Balman, Looks like everything is working... earlier than expected... proceed with caution... but I would definitely begin betting. I advise no more than 3% on any individual bet. We have a long season... Tons of time to make money. Dave

[usma1992]

TimeisMoney... question for you...

You have obviously been around a while. I just reviewed Moneyme87 thread... he seems like he doing better than I am from a system standpoint. Don't get me wrong... I am very happy(Except College Football) with how my systems are doing...what if anything makes me different, if anything... appreciate your opinion. Thanks Dave

[playoffhero12]

I am interested in seeing how the system does for a month or 6 weeks how long have you been doing it and whats the overall record for NBA?

[usma1992]

PlayoffHero....I completely agree...if you don't have longetivity

you have nothing....Track it the next month or so. I think we are averaging high right now based on 64% I think we should be in the 60% range. Time is Money...sent you a quick personal e-mail... but I understand your question about overs... I used to hate overs in the NFL. I think maybe the game has changed and we are witnessing it. I look back to the last 5 years I have tracked and in several years... under bets were more often. The last two years, that is not the case... and I don't believe it has anything to do with the kickoff rule. It might have to do with penalties and protection of the QB...anyway...it may just be passing league that everyone talks about...btw...

[usma1992]

Took a beating last night... made a couple of minor...real minor adjustments...

Looked at the Houston game and the Philly game...Philly went to neutral after adjustments and Houston went to over...away still tweaking... looks like 25-18 now... enjoy Dave

24-21 so far... a couple of rough days...0-2 last night

Looking into the games from last night. The early game may have been predictable, I think I would have lost the second game regardless of any system tweaks. Enjoy Dave

[usma1992]

Looks like 5-1 for the night... my mistake on Golden State...29-22 now...

didn't know curry was sitting again. Enjoy Dave

[usma1992]

Is anyone still following the picks...

if not... I will stop posting them....I know I had a couple of rough days but I think I made the appropriate adjustments. Last night, we had a real shot at 6-0. Enjoy Dave

[prisoner]

I read you every day... keep posting!

i would post if I had anything substantial to add other than cheerleading
... but you keep tweaking and improving. I appreciate all your huge effort! I understand if it's too much work ... but you are doing good stuff here. Thanks--

I don't really know much about money's system but there is a poster on here by the name of the Rkapper who has been successful betting first half totals. I honestly think that's the way to go on O/Us in the Nba because it gets difficult to cap full games when it turns into a foul fest late, teams bringing scrubs off the bench in blowouts, running down the shot clock etc. I think 1H trends seem to be a bit easier to track.

Still following your system though, nice bounce back last night.

[playoffhero12]

I'm watching! BOL!

[playoffhero12]

ive been watching every day too its a good turn around you going to post todays game? lmk thanks

[blackzer0]
