**Muggy** · 10-18-10, 10:08 AM

Can't wait for the season to start. Just watching preseason is only increasing the anticipation.

**Sawyer** · 10-18-10, 10:36 AM

Thank you guys. Yeah, preseason is on but as a principle, I always skip/ignore preseason in all major US Sports. There may be some money to be made in preseason but not for me. Regular season is long enough.

**cala56** · 10-19-10, 05:10 PM

I read your mind. Is the cat good enogh to shoot?

**cala56** · 10-19-10, 05:11 PM

Sawyer you do a hard work to make this forum great. Thanks

**Sawyer** · 10-19-10, 05:55 PM

Thank you guys. According to my calculations, I'll have 80-81 total plays per month (approximately) and 25-30 picks during play-offs. My hit rate was %61.65 (133-83) last season, started record keeping through 22 January, in another forum.

My plan for 2010-2011 season is to hit %58+ over 400-500 bets. It should land somewhere in this range. Maybe 450, maybe 480? We'll see. If I can make %60+, it will be great but even %56-57 is not bad. Remember, Anyhting over %53 makes you money.

I'll be happy with anyhting over %55. Probably more happier if above %58, LoL.

I wish everyone a profitable basketball season..

We'll talk about Money Management later..

**hawley** · 10-19-10, 05:57 PM

TIPS & ADVICES

1. This season, all my picks will be Total (U/O) bets.

2. If you have a Reduced Juice book, it's a big advantage.

3. Make sure you use 5+ books in order to shop for the best line.

4. Don't let the line movement effect you. Sometimes it will be in our favor, sometimes it will go against us. If total line increases by 2-3 points, it doesn't mean game will go over the total. So ignore line movement completely.

5. Patience and Money Management are important. If you bet %20 on each game, you will get broke sooner or later. %3 or %5 (according to bankroll) is a good number. If your bankroll is small (less then 1k) use %5.

6. Don't chase your loses, ever.

7. I won't have plays like Lock of Century, Pick Of Millennium, Game Of Year etc. All plays are 1 unit. Anything can misfire.

8. Don't lose your hope 'til the final buzz. This is NBA, Where amazing happens.Still cannot forget Memphis vs Goldenstate game. Under was lookin' dead through the end of 3rd but a miracle happened in 4th and game stayed under the total.
