Howdy! New here, and to betting in general. Kind of got into it through (losing) my poker winnings here and there, but i've been focusing more and more on the science of betting lately. This board and all of the other resources that this site offers have been priceless to a newb like me. Lots of mindblowing stuff that i never would've thought about, like those ref stat sites and all. Thanks, everyone! Anyhow, been doin well with my nba picks so far this season (just picks for the hell of it, no $), so i decided to throw $20 on bodog on monday (i know, they suck, but i had an acct there, already)... Gotten it up to $35 since then on a bunch of diff tix (lots of teaser combos... loved that spurs pick that everyone was so paranoid about last night
). So, thought i'd share my shrinky-dinked (aka: mostly teased... get it? hahaha!!... sorry) picks for tonight (and i guess i'll continue to post them if i don't embarass myself too much or go broke soon). All comments welcome:
