3/6/12

Pacers -7 (-110) 1x

I think the Hawks are really bad. Josh Smith is the worst. They are still flying high after last weeks miracle. I think they get beat by double-digits by a pissed Pacer's team.

Mavs -2 (-110) 1x

Like the Mavs here. Looks like the public money is about split, which makes me like it more. I think the Mavs bounce back here against a pretty confused Knicks team who will turn the ball over a lot just like OKC did.

Rockets +4.5 (-110) .5x

Rondo, Rondo, Rondo...? I think the Rockets at least keep this game close.

Having a hard time laying off the Magic and the Heat, but I don't usually lay down a lot points on easy square picks like that. Will see later if I regret it, probably so.

Typical recent night. One bad pick, one bad beat, one winner.

Figures I bash Smith in first post and the idiot can't miss a shot. Stupid pick in retrospect, don't think I'll pick Pacers again for a while after watching them tonight. Way too many layups and dunks given up, especially towards the end. They got destroyed on the glass.

Rockets epic collapse, up by 7 with 4 and change left to lose by 5, failure.

Mav's dominate, shoulda taken Heat that was easy money. Glad I didn't touch Magic.

1-2 -.65u

F it, i need action..making a NCAA play.

Pitt +6 (-115) 1x
Pitt ML (+210) .25x

ClausensHands · 03-09-12, 11:44 AM

Didn't post yesterday, went 3-1. Will post picks one more time at the risk of my bankroll. Another bad night and I'll leave picking to the cappers.

1-4 = -.2.05u

Spurs -5.5 (-110) 1x (just missed -5, don't see this going back down)
Knicks -1.5 (-110)
Knicks/Bucks O 206 (-115)
Blazers/Celtics O 183 (-110)
Mavs/Kings O 196 (-115)

All at 1x. Got a .25x parlay on these 5 games as well. Let's go!

ClausensHands · 03-10-12, 12:20 PM

lines 4-6 = -1.25u
parlay 0-1 = -0.25u

total 4-7 = -1.5u

3/10/12

College ball action before NBA tonight. Got a sweetheart teaser on the following:

<label class="selectionName left">Michigan State +6</label>(Teased 10 points)
<label class="selectionName left">Duke +7½</label>(Teased 10 points)
<label class="selectionName left">Mississippi +17</label>(Teased 10 points)
<label class="selectionName left">Arizona +6½</label>(Teased 10 points)

at -120 for 1x

Also have:

NC State +10 (-110) 1x (update 12:57 Henson not playing as expected)

NBA tonight:

I don't typically bet on squares like this..but I am seeing the public money sort of muddled by these big home lines. I am thinking at least a couple of them cover in statement "comeback" games after some tough home losses (Bulls/Thunder) and games (Heat vs ATL).

Can you tell that I am an action-junkie?

Bulls -11 (-110) 1x
Thunder -16.5 (-110) 1x
Wizards +5.5 (-110) 1x
Heat -9 (-110) 1x
Blazers/Wizards O 200 (-115) 1x

A couple of parlays/teasers going as well but nothing to bother logging as official.

ClausensHands · 03-10-12, 01:44 PM

Adding:

Grizzlies -2 (-105) 1x

Memphis looked really focused against the Warriors earlier this week. I think that continues after a couple days rest and that they win this one by 4-5 in a really good game.

Adding:

Warriors -4 (-105) .25x

Can't resist this RLM after seeing Mavs suck last night, but just small play after a winning day. You know Warriors will be pumped. Also got a prop on Lee O 18.5 but not official.

ClausensHands · 03-11-12, 01:43 PM

NCAA 2-2 = +.65u
NBA 8-9 = -1.25u
Props 0-0 = 0u will start tracking

Broke even yesterday on NBA, should have played Warriors for a full unit. Grizzlies ruined my winning day and busted teaser by 1 pt.

3/11/12

Missed 76ers game, stupid daylight savings time.

Lakers -5 (-110) 1x

Magic -5.5 (-110) 1x

I really like both of these picks. Only time I'll be on Lakers or Magic is when public money is mixed, as it is today.

Props:

Rondo O 11.5 Assists/Steals (-145) .5x

---

Rough day. Talked myself out of D. Howard O 22.5 and Rondo O 13.5. Instead picked a loser by a half a dime. Lakers could have very easily pushed or won in the last 20 sec had Celtics not waited until final seconds to get off a not very clean 3. Frustrating day. Gonna keep logging for a few more days.

NCAA 2-2 = +.65u
NBA 9-10 = -1.35u
Props = -.725u

Disgusted by end of Bulls game. Probably woulda hit 45x parlay had Bulls not gotten that 5sec call. Not to mention my .5x bet and a tail on LTA's under. Disgusted. Hopefully pace in the Wolves games keeps up and will still have a winning day.

3/12/12 Recap

NBA = 5-4 +1.725x
Props = 1-0 +.5x

Good day overall at +2.275x. Going to try to keep the card smaller tonight.

Overall:

NCAA 2-2 = +.65x
NBA 13-13 = +.4x
Props 1-1 = - .225x

I'd like to point out that my true reason for posting these picks is to help me track my picks accuractely and to hopefully force me to narrow my focus and decision making in order to get sharper lines, less juice, and of course, more money.

ClausensHands · 03-13-12, 03:13 PM

alrighty, had enough. best of luck.

i'll repost the plays I had last night as a post-mortem to this thread, although this pains me.

Magic/Grizzlies/Mavs/Kings on a 10 pts teaser for 2 units, Sac fail.

Blazers/Pacers O 190 for 2 units, wow this was fun to watch. combined 20 points with 1:30 to go in the 1st. What's really sad is that I think they ended up scoring more in that quarter than the 3rd. I swear to god, I don't think either team scored a single pt in the paint all night.

Lakers/Grizzlies U 183 x1 this one too was just dead in the water after the 1st Q.

Cav -4 x 1/2 another fail, but pailed in comparison to the rest in terms of frustration

WINNER!!!! Marion O 19 pts/rbs for x 1.5 so freaking glad I hit at least one

Best of luck to everyone out there.
