Default Re: +200 odds and +150

Bad example . I teased the Pistons -21.5 last night down to -16.5 . Why ? Because I could see a screw job because everyone knows the spread from China to Las Vegas to the locker room . Seems alot of times a person gets a bad beat that truly knows what he is doing . A real handicapper would never give up 21.5 pts in an nba game right ? Maybe a good one teases it down to 16.5 and looks for the 17 - 20 pt win , normal result if on the up and up .

The spread does mean something , as much as we would like to think it doesn't , so if the game finshes right on the spread , or if the o/u finishes right on the total ? If you teased it you dont take a bad beat , you go forward , SWING .

You spoke of having confidence , not sure how a person can have TRUE confidence in tournament games with kids playing , or overpaid athletes in general . You never know when someone , or even the team as a whole
WILL SIMPLY NOT SHOW UP . Is just the truth no matter how cocky someone can talk or if they are right after a big game or not , you dont fucking know .

Officiating sets the tone no matter what I think I knew before the game started , always pretty much .

This is all true and the easiest way to prove it is to just look at how successful the books have been since their inception . Everyone is not stupid .... a person has to be many things to succeed .
You already knew that though . I would hope .
Result was Pistons by 16 , I still missed it but I liked it alot .

I agree if you do single wagers only that it is pretty simple and if you are on a cold streak you will only get hurt so bad , can be very easy to stay hot for awhile . I had a 20 something in a row streak back in 1999 or 2000 I think it was , money was really no thing then .
I actually go for it alot , def not by doing teasers .
I go 3 - 1 , 4 - 1 , and on up there on parlays all the time , is a joke really and the biggest way the books take peoples money .

You are right really , I dont execute like I could and should .
I am better at telling other people what to do than actually following through with it and doing it myself .
