    SBR's Pick of the Day

    I don't know if this has been tried before but I think it's a really good idea. In this thread, everyone can post their single best bet of the day.

    The only limitations are:
    1. Odds must be at least 1.5 = -200
    2. The bet must be available at Pinnacle or 5dimes.

    Now, if this experiment works we'll all have a great profitable thread for years to come. If not, that would be quite sad and a proof that even a group of long time bettors can't make a single buck with their absolute best plays - which seems unlikely. People who already have their own threads are also encouraged to post their single best play here.

    I'll keep track of the stats in daily summaries, and differentiate between Favs, Dogs and Totals.

    For thread clarity, submissions should look like this:
    NHL - Fav - Tampa -1 - 2.03 (current Pinnacle or 5dimes odds, whichever is better)

    If you like, feel free to add some reasoning, but that's completely up to you. My plays are always numbers based so I don't post my reasoning.

    Now let's make some cash!

    NBA- Fav- San Antonio (spurs) -3 -110

    no Fancy write up. Spurs have a losing road record which is why we're getting such a good line here. Grizzlies haven't covered a home game vs a team with a losing road record.

    Well my dog didn't make it but I significantly beat the line so I'm okay with the bet. Gonna make a night play to fix it.

    Good job Bank and Drew. My damn Nashville couldn't hold the 3rd period for 2 minutes more so my greedy reg bet lost. My other personal NHL bet was Calgary in reg but I trusted Nashville a bit more.

    Are you saying it's good? My numbers show 38% for Sociedad which is good value. This thread is not sponsored, but even if nobody but me posts I'll definitely make profit eventually. Today I already hit a draw at 3.8 but that was low confidence.

    Funny, maybe it has something to do with shorter attention spans. Still, soccer, the lowest scoring game of all, is the most popular one in the world.
