Only Way To Handicap: Pay Attention

[jjgold]

1. Watch games
2. Injuries to key players
3. Watch and Read News (ESPN, Online newspapers)


So simple

Throw away the fukkin stats, they mean nothing.

[bigboydan]

Sound advice coach.

[dwaechte]

That's certainly the funnest way to pick games, but I sure as hell haven't had any success with it.

[durito]

Horrible.

[SBR Lou]

Regardless of how much some math oriented bettors will disagree with this, I think doing these things at least provides more of an informed opinion, however diluted it may be, than simply flipping a coin.

Fuk ESPN JJ, i had a super sharp (Krackman) tell me when i had dinner with him in Vegas, that if you hear it on ESPN, its too late, local papers/news is the ONLY way to get news. thats why i tend to hammer U of I games as well as MVC conference in college hoops, i get the news locally and sometimes 1st hand

I definitely watch a lot of games, and I always research and chat with other handicappers to see what the general consensus is. Around 80% so far across all sports this year, so seems to be doing okay

[jjgold]

MAth bettors bet both sides to a game and that is not gambling.

ESPN or any live TV has the most up to date injury info, 200x better than line services.

Having a feel for when a team is due for a clinker, or a max effort, can be profitable.

Obviously that feel is developed from following a team and understanding the flow if the season.

Have fun on that crash back to earth.

Honestly, I hope you continue your success, but don't get your hopes too high.

[onlooker]

These things can certainly help, but you should not only rely on them.

JJ, you know Krackman? the guy is THE sharpest sports better i've ever known.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Horrible advice. Of course you should keep up to date on injuries but to ignore stats would be comical if that advice couldn't cost a bettor money.

Bet local teams. I am 10-0 betting my hometown teams the last 2 weeks. I read the paper and have connections in the locker room.

[I.R.B]

Good advice coach.. Knowing the teams and whats going on is you're best capping tool.. Only for NBA tho.

you posting these 10-0 plays somewhere Pal?

[rm18]

yep I got burned on my 2nd half over because I did not know Kevin Durant was out

[MonkeyF0cker]

I think I really need to stay out of Player's Talk. There is more intelligence on a Head Start playground than in here.

[pavyracer]

I don't post them all in a single thread. Some in NFL some in NBA threads.

True, but some solid entertainment value IMO. If I'm watching a game at night it's always nice being on the forum dicking around.

I guess Durito had the proper response to the initial comment.

[SBR Lou]

I always find myself listening to what Pam Oliver has to say. I don't know if this hurts my cause more than helps.

PM's under review.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Now I'm surprised it was only 80%...

[donjuan]

MAth bettors bet both sides to a game and that is not gambling.

Where did you get that idea?

[pavyracer]
