[DukeJohn]

31 – GSW +3
31 – Atlanta / Oklahoma -5.5

Wish I would have kept my straight up system going in NBA. Picking 23-13 would probably be one of my best seasons so far, don't know since I always stop early to be on the safe side.

Dang Duke....you are just piling up the winnings in all sports!

[jolmscheid]

You wouldn't happen to want to post your plays for years to come would ya? HA HA...

[DukeJohn]

You wouldn't happen to want to post your plays for years to come would ya? HA HA...

I am sure I will for a few at least. Sports Betting is my only job that pays bills and it only takes me a couple of hours a day, if that, so I have a lot of time to do nothing, except build my bankroll.

I recently started playing poker to see if I can manage any income there. I never bothered because I usually only break even, but with rake back, I may be able to make it profitable. However, that sure seems like a lot of time to put into it, but I guess I don't have anything else to do until my bankroll gets big enough so I can start traveling. Could always finish the book I was writing, I have written around 500 pages... hmm...

Well, time to get back to doing nothing,

[DukeJohn]

No picks for me today in the NBA.

Have a wonderful day and see ya tomorrow,

[jolmscheid]

What's Rake Back mean?

[jolmscheid]

Hey Duke...you wouldn't happen to know how to use a database would you? I have a handful of angles I would like to backtest that have been doing VERY WELL this season...I just have no clue how to use a database...thanks!

[DukeJohn]

Several people in the Think Tank are very apt at doing what you are searching for. I just never bothered to write any programs for it. I am done with my research for a while.

Best of Luck,

What's Rake Back mean?

Rake is how poker rooms make their money. They take a portion of the pot or blinds. Anyway, if you sign up for rakeback you can get a little portion of that back, hence the name rake back. Anyway, if you play at 4-6 table at a time and manage to break even or so for the day, you can make anywhere from $400 - $4000 a month in rake back, just depends what your rake back percentage is, size of tables, and how many hours you are willing to put in.

[DukeJohn]

11 – Sacramento / Washington –6.5

Personally, I think that is a little too much spread on Washington, would have liked to get a -1 or something.

BoL to us all,

[DukeJohn]

11 – Sacramento / Washington –6.5

1st quarter Washington had it easily, then the 2nd Sacramento took the lead, then the 3rd Washington was covering the spread again, and then in the 4th Sacramento tied it up. Alas, although Washington won in OT, they didn't cover the spread, as I was afraid of. Final Score Wash 136 - Sac 133.

G'night and see ya tomorrow,

12 – Orlando / New Orleans +3.5
12 – Sacramento / Boston -12.5
12 – New Jersey / Phoenix -6

Wow, -12.5 on Boston, that seems a little extreme to me.

BoL to us all,

[DukeJohn]

12 – Orlando / New Orleans +3.5
12 – Sacramento / Boston -12.5
12 – New Jersey / Phoenix -6

Very nice winning all three

Nice job of New Orleans taking it in OT

Of course, Phoenix coming from behind and sending their game into OT and then pulling out a nice win

Boston poured it on during the 2nd half and just killed Sac.

G'night and see ya tomorrow,

[franklt]

So see uou Sunday, thank you

[DukeJohn]

No picks in the NBA today, but I know I will have some tomorrow, on Monday.

Have a great day.

[DukeJohn]

17 – Indiana / LA Clip –3.5
17 – Phoenix / NY Knicks –6
17 – Utah Jazz / Washington +5

Personally, I think the NY line is a little too much, but of course I always go with what my system picks.

BoL to us all,

[DukeJohn]

17 – Indiana / LA Clip –3.5
17 – Phoenix / NY Knicks –6
17 – Utah Jazz / Washington +5

That was a huge scoring game between Phoenix and NY. Thought we might have been able to pull it out, but in the end it was a loss.

G'night and see ya tomorrow,
