    There is no way he got the pacers at +4 1st half anywhere at the time he posted that. Its at +3 everywhere i've checked. I don't know what the line opened up at though so maybe he got it earlier this morning?? For it to drop a point is interesting.

    Anyhow. GL

    you are absolutely correct.. (about mistakes, not fake lines, lol)
    i just checked in my notebook..
    i wrote down the lines of the two 1H plays i was making..

    in my notes: IND +3 and LAC +4 (which has since gone up to 4.5)

    i mixed them up when i typed then in wrong and transposed them..

    i am correcting the error.. but it really doesn't matter..
    i seriously expect the PACERS will be winning outright at the Half.. ahead by at least 3

    PROOF: notice that the LA CLIPPERS i have listed at +3, when everywhere it was +4, and now +4.5
    if i was really screwing with lines, why would i deduct an extra point from my Clipper pick, on the road??!

    i would never do that.
    error 1) i merely typed in the CLIPPER line for IND pick,
    error 2) and i typed in the Pacer Line for LAC pick..

    clerical error, not unethical line manipulation,
    i think I am a better capper than that...

    R..

    if you are so thorough with the lines..and detected the first error.. (1 pt. more than list)
    why did you not catch the mistake on the second one also? (1 pt. less than list)

    and then put two and two together.. and deduce the error?

    GL as well

    no.. but i believe that to be successful, one has to focus on record.. rather than winnings.
    (even though winnings is the bottom line, the bottom line is mostly created by winning frequency)

    the foundation (imo) must be the record. This makes betting large amounts an easy decision.
    i also don't like to recommend to people how much to bet...
    my record is positive, so if i know there is no danger of directing someone down the wrong path.

    if a capper recommends a monster bet, and it loses..
    he will feel the impulse to make it up quickly.. recommend larger bets...
    which can initiate some very problematic compulsive behavior in some

    i do make larger bets.. but it is something that i do independently. without posting it

    wrong..it is not about record..it is about return of investment (ROI)

    you use the edit feature a lot...any reason for that

    Hey Ratz, you're usually quick to post the results. Since you were a no-show tonight, I thought I'd do it for you as a convenience. Thank me later.

    haha indeed... i certainly deserve that.. no probz..
    and shoulda posted it immediately..
    i was in the laboratory, trying to figure out why i was so wrong on the HOU pick.
    I believe i understand why, and will avoid that error when it presents itself again.

    the first however was a PUSH, i never post a person's push with a neg symbol..
    visually misleading.. people glance, rarely read when symbols are present.
    but you are right, for evening a big fat (.000)

    adjustments made (hopefully) we'll see tonite

    NEW CAP STRAT– Line Watching works.
    i must confess, at first i thought that Line Watching was an exaggerated claim.

    Saturday 5ive-Spot


    CHICAGO_(-8)
    BULLS on 4 game win streak... stay HOT and manage to cover a somewhat fat line.


    WASHINGTON_(+9.5)
    Wizards ALMOST stuck it to Thunder in OKC. Stay HOT on road, and cover here


    MINNESOTA_(-5)
    RAPTORS lose another heartbreaker last night in OT. 10-game L-streak continues..


    NEW JERSEY_(+6.5)
    NETS are better than the 2nd Half of last game. Look for the team that stayed with the MAvs a week ago.

    HOUSTON
    _(+8.5)

    Rockets playing good road ball... stay with them for one more..

    Ratz why do you post. Are you trying to help others by posting winners that we can tail or are you doing it for you own personal benefit to show the world you are a good capper? Either way, once you make your picks, please don't go back and edit your post with changes. Anyone can pick winners that way

    if i do that, i do so before games in question begin...
    today, i did not cap HEAT/OKC.. Miami is too weird a team.. i usually avoid them.
    unbelievably great, or average.. who knows who's showing up..

    my edit was eliminating PHX and GSW..
    the more i looked at them, i questioned them
