I know I am new to this forum, but not new to sports gambling in general. I am quite successful at it as my ex-wife and her paid off house and vehicles can attest too.
I make my own lines and flat bet the entire board. The lines I make are mechanical and don't involve emotion or injuries. My line for today is Lakers -10, if my line is higher than the books I place the bet on the team, if it is lower as in the Dal/Mil game I have Dallas -6 and the line is Dallas -7 then I would play Milwaukee +7. Then I have games like the Golden State/Sacramento game where I have Golden State as -2 and they are +6.5 so that's a real value play for me.
