We had 1 play yesterday..and it won for +1 unit. Houston won outright as a bit dog in the nba.

Today a much bigger slate of games but only 1 nba play I can see.

We hit the 350 bet mark with a new high in units won...+50 and we are now at +14.28% return. This is far exceeding my expectations for uncovering inefficiencies in the lines.

Good Luck

Thurs there were no plays. With pinnacle down I am going to post everything at -110. I am expecting this to cost anywhere from 1 to 2 percent in return . Its unfortunate and I am looking into a sports book with similar spreads as pinnacle right now and will know Monday.

In any event two plays in the nba today.

As of 6:21 pst

Boston +5.5 -110
Seattle +5 -110

Friday was a 1-1 day for -.10 units. Boston really never threatened to cover but seattle won the game outright as a dog in overtime.

Today 2 more plays in the nba. I have looked over the nfl and cannot come up with any solid plays that I can see. So I am passing on the nfl this weekend.

Oh....I have done some research on other books...and it appears that cascade has -105 betting lines. Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with them? They are the only b+ or better rated book that I can see that has -105 lines.

Good Luck

Boston +14

We had no plays on Sunday.....today there is a full slate of nba and nhl games... again I see nothing in the nhl. We started the season with plays every day in the nhl with a nice return on investment...but the lines have become very solid...so expect only 1 or 2 plays a week in the nhl.

In the nba today...3 plays

Milw +5.5 -110
Memphis +9.5 -110
Golden state under 209.5 -110

Monday was a good day. We had 3 plays...the 2 nba sides split...with milw winning outright as a big dog and Memphis unable to cover. Our total goldenstate under was a winner. So a +.90 unit day.

Today nothing in the nba...but a rare nhl play...

Ny Islanders +140

Tues we lost 1 unit...with the islanders losing in the nhl 5-2.

Today nothing in the nhl...but 3 plays in the nba.

Things are settling down now and I suspect we will only have around 50-60 plays a month as opposed to around 100 when ncaafb and nfl is in full swing. But Baseball is just a few months away and things should pick up then.

Sacramento +4.5 -110
Milwaukee +5 -110
Houston +5.5 -110

wedn we had an 0-3 day For -3.30 units. All games were close until the 4 th quarter but none of the 3 teams could hang on and cover.

Also I had the rather unpleasant experience of someone messaging me on yahoo complaining. He was rather insulting. So....let me say a few things before I post the plays.

1. This method I am using has been applied only over 364 bets. This is not conclusive to the long run profitablility of this method. Its encouraging but in no way a guarantee making money.

2. If you lose money betting these plays if you need to blame someone for your loss the only one you have to blame is yourself. You elected to make these bets.

3. If you dont have a good money management strategy in place you in all probability will lose all your money because of variance.

4. So far the biggest drop has been around 5 units. That is consistent with a method that has a 13 percent return...So this is also encouraging....but..... at some point I would expect a 15 to 20 unit drawdown.....if you are betting an amount that this would cause you a problem....you are betting too much.

and finally 5. There are very few people that are equipped financially and psychologically to handle the ups and downs of gambling on a daily basis. If your not a professional every instinct you have will attempt and probably will sabotage your success. Human nature runs completely contrary to being a successful professional gambler.

If this discourages you from following these plays then I have accomplished what I have intended to accomplish. For those of you that understand all of the above...good luck!

Only 1 play today in the nba that I can see...also looks like no plays again in the nfl this weekend. Also I am now on betcascade..so my plays are all -105. If your laying -110 you can expect about 2 percent less return.

Washington/orlando under 205.5 -105

If someone from this forum messangers u in this way, I think u should inform
the administrator, who I would like to think would have a quiet word.

This board has a mix of pro,s, and wannabe's .. only a wannabe would cry
in that fashion.

This affects the pro's, as, it has to leave a mark on your psych, and it would
be very easy, to just think 'To hell with it ..' and stop posting.

Please dont succumb to this thght, (if u have it)

Would like to say that RickJ has been a gold member of this forum for a while and can choose to post his tips in the privacy of the gold section if he so wished ( Other Sports Forum ) He has chosen not to.
The tips he posts on here are in the bronze ( public ) section and can be read by anyone not even registered to the forum and also on his blog which is nothing to do with this forum.
Any yahoo messaging of an insulting nature would most certainly not have come from any of our gold members but most likely from an unregistered viewer of the bronze section of this forum or equally likely from a reader of his blog.
If you put tips up in the general domain with contact details Rick, then expect to get some insulting stuff from people out there.

Thanks for the replies..it was no one from this board...

Thanks for the info...I have started with bet cascade...-105 lines.

RickJ

Sat we broke our 0-6 run. Our nhl play lost but Boston +11 went into overtime and they covered. And new orleans won outright as a dog. So a +1 unit day.

To keep things in perspective its been a wild month...starting out with a 10-0 run and just finishing a 0-6 run. but for jan we are at 38 bets ...+7.42 units with a 19.53%return!

Today 1 play in the nba and 1 play in the nfl.

nba
Miami +6 -105
nfl
New england +3.5 -110

As to the new england line ... all but one offshore book that i can see has -3 and odds from -120 to -135. So if you want New England +3.5 you have to buy the hook....I suspect you will have to lay around -120. Or you can take +3 and get anywhere from +105 to +115. Here in vegas most books have -3.5 -110. In any event If you cant find +3.5 at a reasonable price I would wait until game time to play since the money is coming in on indy.

Good Luck

Sunday we tied the nba game and lost by a half on new england. Both were tough games. miami was at the line twice in the last min and only made 2 of 4 free throws despite their best free throw shooter was at the line...95% and had hit 22 in a row! Then with about 2 seconds left down by 3....Miami fouled giving the other team a 3 pt play for a tie. New England...was ahead 21 -3 at the half....ahead the whole game except the last minute. Oh well another tough day..and -1.10 units.

Only 1 play in the nba today....

Minnesota +7 -105
