[Dexter]

a) 70%
b) 25%
e) 5%

[KiDBaZkiT]

I take a close look at individual match-ups as well as what type of offensive and defensive sets given teams run. Also I have a few rules, never bet an over when San Antonio is at home, never bet an under when Golden State or Phoenix is at home, things like that.

[xxdjstriderxx]

all the above

[jcljack25]

For me its mostly E, with a little C (only if I E'd it first and they confirm,LOL) but more than all that, its numbers for me. Whether personal or a team, if they have not covered 3 straight or something like that, I will take them on game 4.

I have dabbled with the JM system but mainly play B and C bets.

Purely recreational gambler, playing with money I can afford to lose.

I monitor thepredictiontracker.com and play the games with a 3 or more point discrepancy between the vegas line and the prediction average. I stay away if too many SBRforum touts go the other way. see below:

Can you give an example of how well this system has done for you?

[CrimsonQueen]

First I do A. (handicap) then I do B. (track some movements) then I do C. (check to see input of different people at SBR) then I do F. (look at other valuable websites). Then I redo A. Then I redo B, C, and F to verify A.

Then I throw all that info out and do D. (pay someone else)

[2daBank]

a b and e......and there are certainly a select few guys on here i respect the opinion of and willing to tail if i know they really believe in the pick
