    Why are early games so much easier to handicap than night games?
    I was reviewing win loss records based on time of day after I thought I noticed that early games win for me so much better than night games.

    Anyone else noticed this? It seems like night games are tougher to handicap.

    Early games you're fresh and looking at it fresh. Late games you're either thinking about your wins during the afternoon, or being put under pressure to win due to the losses during the afternoon.

    Hah, don't know if this holds any sense, or even if I do it, but it seemed interesting at the time when I thought of it.

      I noticed that teams doing great in the first half, do shitty in the second half.

        Another possible reason - knowledge. I'm located on the east coast and have less knowledge about all those UC games and all them west coast games.

              I have noticed that a lot this week. Hopefully next week, my teams will play the full 40 minutes or more if they go to overtime.

                    Nice I am down right near Tampa for now, looking to move definitely out of Florida just not sure where yet. My top 4 places now are NYC, Chicago, Vegas and DC but who knows.

                    Ever get down to Atlantic City? That is one place never been would love to get up there sometime.

                          Well that is easy to fix, start betting more on the winning games and less on the losing games.

                            Niagara made me sweat 'fo sho! I'm trying a new thing, adapting my best pick of the day for my avatar to see how that works. I'm sure it'll be less than 50%.
