How long does it take you to cap the average card (say 8 basketball games)

Just wondering because it takes me a good amount of time. I am sure that I will get more efficient as I get further into practice mode but just wondering how much time everyone spends on a card. Thanks in advance.

Lately IVe just been betting totals in NBA. I dont spend as much time looking at the card as I probably should. I pick out the games that interest me and then go to work. 8 game card, I'll probably pick 5-6 totals out and spend about 30 mins to an hour or so capping them. Now baseball season is a different story, I'll spend several hours looking at the baseball card.

I automate as much as I can. My spreadsheet goes to pinny and gets the days plays and lines. I colour code shows if they played last night or not. My "forumla" then calculates a "spread". If it highlights green it is a potential play.
I didn't write the macros so don't ask me how to do it.

Like 24/7 I automate just about everything. All I do is adjust for injury. So a typical day takes about 5-10 minutes to "handicap" It takes more time to get the best line, sometimes hours waiting on a move that you know will happen. Sometimes it is immediate and I am done with the whole process in 15 minutes, from handicapping to making the play.

Hmmm...I apparently need to start working on a more efficient method because some days take me upwards of 2 hours to go through a card. Thanks for the input.

1 hour to cap 12 baseball games and another 30 minutes to pick 4-6 winners out of those.
I guess around an hour and a bit a day during baseball season.

First off no need to look at every game on card, you should have a feel of what games are off meaning the line if your good and then check those games so maybe 20 minutes or so.

JJ right now I glance at the card and usually end up looking over 3/4 of the card...I feel that helps me learn a lot better than just picking one or 2 games since I am still in training mode right now so I am not good enough yet.
