this happens at least in 50% of games close to the spread...nothing new for me...i mean over totals are covered like that pretty regularly. How many times have you seen a team 10 points behind with less than 30 secs left and both teams make foul after foul...
What you refer to is part of the game. This foul wasn't. When a game is decided the winning team normally dribbles out the final possession, without taking a shot. Marion was near mid court doing just that with the Suns up by 14 pts, the exact spread for the game. Bets would have pushed. Then Wallace walked up to him, not even very fast, and just fouled him. lol. First time I've seen that.
One of the more difficult leagues. Gotta love the challenge, as frustrating as it can be. If you can crack the NBA code everything else is easy. Well, maybe not MLB.
I try to find at least three tools that work. If all three 'arrows' point in the same direction, a play is strong. I also research each tool separately to see at what point it can be used by itself. Lot of number crunching, but worth the effort. I found that when you approach a league in this way progress isn't steady, but more like chipping away at a wall until suddenly you break through to another level.
Working on a new NBA tool. Used it yesterday for the first time, and it started out 3-0. No plays qualify today, but will start posting them as experimental; i.e. not under best bets.
