You need to account for juice. I'm assuming if you don't post a price that it is a -110 line, so on your Nets loss, for example, you lost 1.1 units, not 1. This has a big impact on overall profitability as the way you are keeping track would indicate a 50% win rate would break even (assuming equal units), when it would not.

LAC +1
Nets -1
Suns +1
= 1
Nuggets +2
= 3
Nets -1
Mavs +1
= 3
How is this NOT accurate?

Of course, but I post my plays in which I would win.
So if I post a (1*), it's to WIN 1, not wagering 1.
Thanks for keeping a close on this, good luck to you!
Right, I understand what you are posting as you picks. My point is when you post "Nets -2 1*" and lose, you have actually lost 1.1 units. Your record is overstating your units.

I stated it wrong, the units I wager, is to win less then the actually wager.
For example, so let's say that I'm taking Browns +5 for 1 unit and a unit is 10$.
10$ to win 9.09
So I'm technically only losing 1 unit, but if I do indeed win, I just round my +1 up, rather then +0.91.
Make's it easier for me to track.
Get it?

R3,
It's the same issue either way. You are either understating losses or overstating wins. You need to keep an accurate record to be taken seriously.

Yeah, it's the way I post my picks, makes it easier for me to just break it down that way. Might be a few cents off, but for posting my picks it make's it simple!
Williams, you have a thread of your plays?
Let's keep this thread just for picks and discussions.
Any other questions please shoot me a PM!
Thanks guys!
