dyxstra how confident in the suns/Denver that seems low

**Trep** · 01-19-14, 09:43 PM

As long Phoenix takes lead higher should be solid IMO...so they don't pull foul/ot bs

**dykstra** · 01-19-14, 11:40 PM

1/19 Results = 4-1, +$1450

New Strategy Results = 19-13, +$2425

Boom!...and that's how you finish a week.

As noted above, "documented" new strategy plays went 19-13...add Monday which would've been 3-0, you're 22-13 on the week...the 6 days prior to that went 20-8...

Add it all up, we're 42-21 over the last 13 days...pretty goddam good.

I said when I started this thread that I had a good feeling about this strategy...I've been doing this s**t for quite some time...and while it's been profitable, I've never really come up with something that logically made sense, and actually worked.

I've always gone by feel and line movement...which most of us do...but that only takes you so far...no matter how hot you get, it always seems like you're one or two bad beats away from losing your groove...

With this strategy, there's none of that...it's all cold hard numbers and percentages...type in the formula, make the percentage play...done.

That being said, of course, there's still a chance that I get my ass handed to me this week...and it wouldn't be the first time...

But I can tell you this, I am not someone who would be wasting my time posting plays on a forum unless I thought I had something that could really benefit others...

And although it seems like the majority of people who comment on these threads are complete dips**ts, I know there's a lot of good people out there who just watch and keep quiet...and that's why I'm here.

Anyway, for those of you who are planning on tailing or have already began to do so, I recommend you flat bet as I'm doing...I play to win $500 on every single game...no more, no less.

So pick a number you're comfortable with and play every single game for that exact amount for the entire week...consistency in money management is critical to your success.

You can follow the best strategy in the world with the highest winning percentage, but if you're all over the place with your money, you will eventually crash and burn.

Ok lecture's over...early day tom...see ya round 2:00.

Later.

Thanks for the picks. Regardless of a win or loss I still appreciate everyone that takes the time to share as no one is forcing people to bet.

regarding shopping for prices...any tips on that? Haven't noticed much movement in the short halftime. Are you normally just going for -110...or what are good lines? It seems my books close a bit early so I end up just locking early to be sure. Posting ahead of time who you're taking like you have been also has been really helpful

**dykstra** · 01-20-14, 10:34 AM

-110 or better - lock it in
-111 or worse - wait for -110 or better

It's rare that I don't get -110 or better...it happens, but rarely...sometimes I'll have to wait til just a few minutes before the half starts, but it usually comes.

**KeepItCummin** · 01-20-14, 12:36 PM

dykstra, been following you for the past couple of days and really enjoyed your strategy. nicely done! and just let you know that i registered with sbr just to give you props on what you are doing and thank you so much for your work! KeepItCummin!

**KeepItCummin** · 01-20-14, 12:40 PM

by the way, not to sound like an idiot but what do you mean by:

-110 or better - lock it in
-111 or worse - wait for -110 or better

wouldnt 111 be considered better in the "110 or better"? but looking forward for this morning!

**Trep** · 01-20-14, 12:52 PM

Lower is better. -110 means betting $110 to win $100. -111 means betting $111 to win $100

**KeepItCummin** · 01-20-14, 12:59 PM

lol...damn rookie minded me... thanks Trep. i was thinking the opposite.. lol

here for the halftime wait buddy! good luck today guys and gals!

NO/Mem over 94

Mia/Atl under 101 1/2

**cmatth1326** · 01-20-14, 07:03 PM

Shoot. I took the only one that didn't win today and I'm scared of the Miami one. It seems like your strategy is great but does it recognize "outliers"? Let's see if the Miami game goes over. Sometimes when things are all out of wack it can be an outlier.

**rc86** · 01-20-14, 07:37 PM

half time total score = 141
+101
242

122 ATL
120 MIA?
