why not play the first half spread in the spurs game so you don't risk getting backdoored?

Not a big fan at trying to predict which quarter a team is going to score the most points. The BD cover is always a possibility, but you have 4 chances instead of 2 to have your team dominate an inferior opponent.

By playing 1/2's you are banking on 2 successive strong quarters. It may be interesting to chart each team and see how they perform in each quarter. If I had stats on that (and I should, because I keep stats on just about everything you can dream of) then maybe there would be certain advantages with certain teams. But until I studied that, I don't think you are buying much by playing 1/2's.

so how certain are you that the spurs will cover tonight?

and also what do you think about taking the over on the clippers and nuggets game??

the nuggets have gone over in 6 of 7 home games and clippers have gone over in 5 of 7 road games. Looks like a great play

The only certainty brahma is that computerman has been very good so far. Good luck tonight.

Thanks Club!... Personally, I don't ever like laying double digits, but I wrote these computer programs to take "me" out of it!

Money mangement is even more important than a good system. The hardest part is to be patient and disciplined. We all love having action every night, but sometimes you just have to lay off and pick your spots.

And above all else, NEVER chase. If you are down, bet SMALLER not LARGER. If your system is good, you will get it back over time.

Ok, I am done ranting!.... Just hate to see people lose in this pathetic economy.
