2nd Half Strategy

[dykstra]

Used a strategy for the College Bowls that was successful...so I recently applied a similar strategy to the NBA (and NFL), which has also been successful over the last week.

I understand a week is not a large enough chunk of time to determine whether something will work in the long run, but I've got a good feeling...

So I'll post snapshots of the plays for anyone who wants to follow along.

This strategy only applies to the 2nd half of NBA games, so I'll see ya at halftime of the Sixers/Wolves game.

Later.

[JTrain]

but I've got a good feeling...

Famous last words.

You like the points or the total better?

[dykstra]

1/13 Results = 8-6, +$450

Not great but a winning night nonetheless.

A trend I've started to notice is the totals are hitting far more than the spreads..so I just did a backtest of the last 2 weeks:

12/30-1/5
Totals = 23-19
Spreads = 22-14

1/6-1/12
Totals = 30-16
Spreads = 21-27

1/13
Totals = 5-2
Spreads = 3-4

Overall
Totals = 58-37, +$5190
Spreads = 46-45, -$1050


And there you have it...as of tomorrow I will only be playing totals...I will continue to keep tabs on the spreads for another 100 bets or so and will continue to post those results each night I'm able to make it here.

Tomorrow night I'll be back and will be posting all of my action...see ya round 8:00.

Later.

[dykstra]

Side note, I also made 2 plays outside of the 2nd half strategy which both hit...I do fairly well with these and was going to post but didn't want to clutter the thread...if anyone's interested, I'll begin posting these as well.

What a pathetic piece of s**t night...I can't even explain how heated I am right now...I can handle a 1-2 night no prob...but 0-3 and every single game hands you your ass...that's real hard to f**kin swallow...but I'll get it back...I always do.

And for those of you who tailed...that sucks...wrong place at the wrong time...but we bounce back tomorrow...make sure you're here.
