    How do second half picks work? Because I like second half bets more than game bets.

    Vinny,
    As long as you take a line off of SBRodds for the 2nd half I think it's fine if you want to use them as your plays.

    You gotta click the little pie wheels up top to change to halves and quarters.

    Please list the book and price any time you list a pick. I'm spending my free time to do this and I would appreciate it if I don't have to check lines for every pick.

    Seriously Why Even Bother Posting?

    You are bound to get like 50 different opinions on the same game (most of the people pick less than 45% right anyways). It's amazing.....how can anyone go against TOR (-2.5) at home vs. an overrated and soft DEFENSE playing New Orleans Hornets team?

    You people must be flipping coins as usual. And Dirk might not play in Dallas vs. LeBron tonight.....if so how can you take DALLAS (+3.5)?? If Dirk doesn't play that's the stupidest pick ever.


    By the Way My Pick Was: TOR (-2.5) to cover vs. New Orleans @ (-110) from Oddsmaker.com

    First, you don't understand the purpose of this thread. This thread is for everyone to make one pick daily and we track it to help separate the sharps from the average joes. You don't get to criticize people's picks here.

    Second, New Orleans was NOT necessarily a dumb pick today. Did you even know that Calderon wasn't playing? I bet not. The game came down to the wire and could have gone either way.

    I apologize for the criticism of people's picks here. Not trying to bash anyone. But yea New Orleans was a dumb pick if you know NBA....Calderon not playing not really a factor IMO....big whoop.

    My second pick here:

    Cavs (-3.5) to cover at Dallas....Oddsmaker.com....(-110)
