I just started betting this week on sports games for the first time. I lost the Clevland game against Houston. From what I have seen this week its brutal picking the spread.

ITS BEEN DOGS in almost every category of sports for the last 2 weeks. ROLL with the punch and bet the dogs.

Agreed. The favorite team always gets the nod from first time bettors - especially when considering the spread. Watch closely, study matchups, be aware of who's playing and who's not, who's on b2b or possibly strung out from a long road trip. This week alone has seen dogs go 7-1 ATS and 3-0 ATS (Tues & Thurs). Instead of starting out the gate behind a few points, why not get them on your side when in a favorable spot?
I personally like NY +6.5 @ NOH tonight.

you are right...Jazz was a perfect example....simply ask yourself a question...why Vegas set the line this or the other way?

Every week is the bookies week, one way or another. Just try to get on their side of things and you'll do fine.
