You will learn how good/bad you are by record keeping. You can look back and see what was going on when you were hot/cold and make adjustments. I keep mine in an excel spreadsheet too. No BS here let units be assigned to your picks, unlike a former poster that liked to hide behind his record using big, small, tiny, large, extra large, big, bigger, smaller, light, heavy, extra heavy and all that BS nonsense.

thx shoe!

my units are simple (I play in euros 55€ at -110 lines ~=$75@-110) and I have an average bankroll of €3K ~= $4K. And I also keep all my bets tracked in a excel spreadsheet.

that said....
J#2 DEN -4.5 (1x)
and I'm also leaning to the Under at this game....

Did you guys see how Pacers let a 28 pts lead go away in a matter of minutes? To the Wolves? So I thread lightly on them bastards lol.

11-18 ATS this year, but horrid of late. Books looking for 50/50 balance and if you use pythag, pacers are on your side (thats why I have been playing them for 10units recently, hit them for +10 last night but wont count in here since I was unable to get to a computer). Nice to see you drop in oda I emailed you to congratulate you on your success but never heard back.

You will learn how good/bad you are by record keeping. You can look back and see what was going on when you were hot/cold and make adjustments. I keep mine in an excel spreadsheet too. No BS here let units be assigned to your picks, unlike a former poster that liked to hide behind his record using big, small, tiny, large, extra large, big, bigger, smaller, light, heavy, extra heavy and all that BS nonsense.

GL Joana

One thing I'll add to this is that each punter should have a unit value for the entire season. I don't care if it's $1, $5, $10, $100, $500, or another amount but learn to make wagers based upon units (not amount wagered) and don't 'force' action - seasons are long enough to recoup loses if one works at it.

On a side note, how many units was a heavy, small, etc? Please, don't go down that road, the readers of your thread don't need to view that type of posting.
