Bonus Clearing
Feb 19th
In my attempt to clear some of my deposit bonus at [Sportsbook.com], I accidentally overbet TOR -2.5 -105 by a lot.
There was a “nice” 2cent arb on [Matchbook], except I bet the wrong side on [Sportsbook.com]. FML.
Letting it ride. Go TOR!

Last night I had a dream that I played basketball against Lebron James. He was a douche bag.
Tuesday Plays
Feb 16th
So today I woke up with a big headache and apparently forgot to post plays. Be happy young minions.
I’m going to leave it as tracked because I’m not going to make a separate tracking sheet for this site.
These were the plays for your/my reference.
DAL Spread -101 2.4 L
NYK Spread -103 2 L
NYK/CHI Total -112 1 W
GSW Spread -102 1.8 W
Wednesday Plays
Feb 10th
Miami 7.0 +100 (1) [Matchbook]
Portland 9.0 +104 (2) [Matchbook]
Golden State Warriors +1½ -108 (1.3) [5Dimes]
Los Angeles Lakers/Utah Jazz Over 201½ -105 (1) [5Dimes]
New Orleans Hornets +4½ -101 (1.5) [5Dimes]
Sacramento Kings/Detroit Pistons Under 198 -107 (1) [5Dimes]
I really like the lines that this system is generating, they seem very sharp, but the results thus far haven’t show it. If this continues, I may have to rework the system some. We’ll see how today goes.
Saturday Plays and Some Thoughts
Feb 6th
NJ/DET U188.0 -110 (1) [Matchbook]
NYK +12.5 +101 (1.5) [Matchbook]
POR +3 -105 (2) [5Dimes]
GSW +4 -105 (2.3) [5Dimes]
So this new system seems to consistently like the dog in large spreads (NYK today), hate the Lakers, and love the Warriors. I’m not sure why, but that seems to be happening. I’ll be following the trends to help tweak the system.
