2nd Half Strategy

[John Deere]

Tight over in BOS/BRK

[WhatALoser]

A lot of factors come into play. The books sometimes take a while to put up 2nd half numbers. Then we have to wait for the poster to give us his input. Then often times the number he got we won't get because 2nd half numbers change pretty quickly. But at least he gives us his input in the first place which is cool.

[Trep]

He does his best which is appreciated. After turning on halftime updates from espn's sportscenter app now I can get here, open my both books and come here and refresh =P Caught everything today...except I wish I missed the lakers lol

Amen!! It pisses me off when I go to tail someone and the bet's already off the board

Easy solution...dnt bet!!

I just told you why others sometimes miss his picks. Sometimes books take a while to put up 2nd half lines. Even if they're on point, you still have to wait for him to post his input which you means you constantly have to refresh to see if he has a play on a game. More often than not halftime lines change pretty quickly. Do you just keep this forum open and refresh it a million times on each game that goes to half every night? There's a lot going on to be doing that.

So happy you picked under here too. I got confused while switching between windows as my other line moved to 107 for Portland and I picked the under for Denver before you posted =P Hope we hit both of these

Ty for your picks,
BOL for the last 2!

Dystra ,,,Thanks for work,, I just wondering that most of your plays are play Under ,,, any reason behind those plays,,,I just been nosy,,,Appreciated,,Thanks

[Trep]

Assuming games slow down if there's a big difference in leads and based on teams that do comebacks/etc =P Either way. Less thought for me more follow as long as it keeps winning lol

[dykstra]

1/26 Results = 4-4 -$200

This Week's Results = 20-17, +$650

Since Discovery on 1/7 = 62-38, +$10175


Final record for this week 20-17...I would say that it's below expectations, and it is...but I've got to remember that we lost 2 games because of OT...and the strategy does not account for OT...it's purely just for 3rd and 4th quarter combined totals...if we get burnt by OT, sucks to be us...

So taking that into account, the strategy actually went 22-15...which keeps us pretty consistent compared to the last 2 weeks...which went 20-8 and 22-13 (no OT losses in either week)...

And that's exactly what I'm looking for...a consistent winning formula...

So hopefully this week we can continue the consistency and avoid any miracle 4 point plays that send a game into OT and pin us with an unexpected L...

A 27-8 week would be nice redemption...

6 games tom night...see ya round 8...

Later.

Hate hearin this dude...you're in the right thread...play all or none...if you pick and choose, you will lose...it rhymes for a reason.

Tried to give you points for this but didn't allow it...so nominated you and have no idea what that does...bottom line, I like your post...enjoy your nomination.

Dystra ,,,Thanks for work,, I just wondering that most of your plays are play Under ,,, any reason behind those plays,,,I just been nosy,,,Appreciated,,Thanks

All of the plays are percentage plays...if it's a big number, odds are we're playing the under because the percentages are in our favor that those 2 teams will play under that number at least 60% of the time...

A lot of halftime totals are inflated due to high scoring first halves...most people bet on impulse thinking the hot shooting and no defense will continue, and sometimes it does...but a lot of the time the teams will tighten up the D, or the shooting percentages will drop, or both...and that's where you get your value in the under...

There are definitely times where I'm like f**k, I hate this play...but if you start picking and choosing your spots you might as well not even use a strategy...because you'll mindf**k yourself in no time...

Consistency is the key to anything worthwhile.

Not even sure what that does either, but thanks =) Lot of people flaming back and forth here, but I think there's actually quite a bunch of us that actually are reasonable and appreciate free advice. If you expected everything delivered on a silver platter...then you should be paying cappers for it.

[dykstra]

Sac/Uta no play.

[jmitch150]

It's tight in the Clippers game
