So to summarize...
Philly/detroit score 63 in the 4th, the game goes over by 2.5 points..
Minnesota/chicago score 63 in the 4th, the game goes over by 5 points..
Atlanta/orlando score 44 in the 4th, the game stays under by 2.5 points..
Indiana/charlotte score 16 points in the final minute, the game goes over by 3 points..
I just lost more money than i care to divulge.. And i think i am going to take a break from gambling indefinately.
Sorry guys.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Take it easy for a while. I always hear money management is the key and it's a marathon, not a sprint. If you ever decide to come back, I'm always interested in new systems/sims...

no other lines have come out yet. but the #s im getting are close to being right on the money with yours. we are talking MAYBE a hairline or 2 from the over/unders that can swing both ways. once all the #s are out, lets see how the rest of the #s turn out.
im thinking maybe you should try to take baby steps back and see if you can "tweak" where you think might be the issues in your calculations. That is what i keep doing when i run #s on back plays to see if i can find the justification on why i lost. but definitely dont give up. its still a new year buddy. plenty of games still.

hey bustabook, sorry to hear about your losses! I totally agree with you that the philly and the minnesota game shouldnt have gone over... it was seriously a bad beat. Keep your head up and hang in there.

Man, it was horribly predictable that the Kings make a last second shot to win by 2 and deny Busta of an overtime over and the +1.5 for Denver...what an unlucky day

There's a difference between a bad simulation and bad luck. Last night was the latter. Think long term.

Nice! You need to stop getting down on yourself with a bad night here and there. The system is proven to work over and over again. Nothing is 100% in this business. Shit, 65% is considered good. lol
Keep up the great work busta!

Sounds like you had some bad bankroll management if one night ripped you apart that bad. I've been there many times although mine were more about "taking shots" than anything.
Mostly lurk but I've been intrigued by your thread and you may be onto something. Take a break and when your ready get back to the grind and stay well within your BR. Good luck sir.

ty umd, you are 100% correct about me having terrible bankroll management.
i am usually pretty well disciplined but saturday i went really big on quite a few games, and they ALL went south.
i am still working on the systems, and currently i am working with someone else backtesting all of them very thoroughly.
by the way, tonights plays (version 2) are:
houston/charlotte Under 190.5
detroit/washington Under 199
la lakers/san antonio Over 194
GL.. FWIW i really like the houston/charlotte Under...
i am currently creating a backtesting system which will allow me to tweak the system and re-backtest very quickly.. eventually i would like to create some sort of artificial intelligence backtesting system which tweaks itself and re-tests.
anyway, talk to you guys soon..
