Thursday Results
Jan 31st
4-1-0 (+4.56 units)
If you told me SEA without Szczerbiak was going to score 40 in a quarter I would try to sell you a bridge.
Bills217 on 2+2 has a nice spreadsheet for tracking bets. I highly recommend some form of tracking so you can keep track of how well you are doing: Spreadsheet
I use smartcapper.com to track all of mine. Smartcapper has a lot of useful tools on the site also, except for picks

Wednesday Plays

Charlotte 7.0 +112 (2) [Matchbook]
Charlotte Bobcats +7½ -105 for Game [5Dimes]
Chicago 4.0 +111 [Matchbook]
Chicago Bulls +4½ -105 for Game [5Dimes]
New Orleans -8.5 -103 (2.5) [Matchbook]
Portland Trailblazers -3 -103 for Game (3) [5Dimes]
There are multiple plays on the same side because I’m getting tired of losing by 1/2 of a point, but I still like the better odds, so I’m splitting the plays up.
Also from last night:
Toronto Raptors -5 -110 for Game (2.5) [BetJM]
Toronto -5.5 -110 (2) [Superbook]
If you didn’t get these lines, I still like a 2.5-3 unit play at -10. Alternatively, the WAS UNDER 90.5 is not horrible either.
Check back later for a ATL/LAC play. Waiting for definite status on a lot of the Clippers.
Tuesday Results
Jan 29th
5-6-0 (-6.07 units)
Screw that. Stupid NY. Stupid MIL. Toronto should learn how to get a defensive rebound every once and a while. Interesting, the plays I lost were all the big ones. Won all the smaller ones.
Early Wednesday Play
Jan 29th
Toronto Raptors -5 -110 for Game (2.5) [BetJM]
Took the TOR play where the sun don’t shine today. Let’s try again tomorrow.
This line has been taken down by some books or not even offered by others. There is no way that TOR doesn’t cover this spread. Well, that’s what I thought about today…

Monday Results
Jan 28th
2-0-0 (+5.07 units)
There aren’t many lines up for the games tomorrow as of now, so I will probably make the plays around 2:30pm PST.
Monday Plays
Jan 28th
Jazz(Utah) -2 -110 (4) [SuperBook]
New Orleans -9.0 +107 [Matchbook]
I have changed my system slightly, focusing more on recent games because I feel those numbers better represent a team today, more so than the first game of the season, which is probably the reason I’m having more large (3-4 unit) plays.
Friday and Sunday Results
Jan 27th
Forgot to post results for Friday.
Friday
4-4-0 (-2.15 units)
lost the Dal -7.5 play by .5 points. Hopefully you got the widely available -7 instead of being greedy for odds like I was.
Sunday
5-3-0 (+4.07 units)
