Gambling is all about math and not about studying game matchups
We study matchups to get a sense of satisfaction especially when we win

Nicky was right all long, do you honestly think you can figure out an edge based on 1-2 hrs of "handicapping" some numbers/stats online?
You are basically saying that odds-makers are morons and you can do a better job than them, I highly doubt that.
You gotta realize that with -110 and even -105 juice, you can never win by "picking winners", you have to get a mathematical edge, period.
Two simple questions:
1) In high volume books, why do lines move in most cases?
2) Where do you find edges?

Probably the first accurate thing you've ever posted with regard to gambling.

It cracks me up how the people who are/were losers as handicappers want to chime in every chance they get to take shots at those who have a knack for it. It's really funny to me. Like some sort of transparent jealousy.

The only thing Nicky is right is he is never wrong.

Why take all the feeling out of it? Not watching the game you bet on is like having sex with a condom, Lame. Don't we bet for the rush and the excitement.
