    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Sometimes, when I have no statistical edge I like, or no gut-feel on a play, and I'm looking for an opinion to use for some curse-at-my-TV fun, I search for a jackass to fade. Saw this earler today, from a place that is a Mardi Gras of Mutants, full of perpetually adolescent attention seeking...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Coach, you have more patience than I do, I didn't make it to halftime. I changed the channel with about 5 minutes left in the first half, at which point they only had 33 scored. THIRTY-THREE! That's approximately their avg score in a quarter! Port looked like a team in the final week of the...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Coach, Sorry, just saw this or I would have replied sooner. I didn't post it as a buy, but Portland is in the "Temperature" plays as a 6' pt dog. I like them for that, and a few other reasons, such as the one you mentioned. Lakers are having trouble scoring in the bubble. People thought they...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Update: Sorry, forgot to add OKC/Hou Over 226 as a buy from the WB play. Game just tipped off. Have it in pocket, but won't count as a buy here; will count in the record for those plays, obviously.

    Thanks, Coach. Be a Better Bettor Newsletter 8/20/2020 Yesterday I was going to ask anyone who was interested to take a pen and paper and chart my plays from day one and two of the playoffs. Then put a W next to wins, and an L next to losses, to verify my record, all plays shared here. But...

    Be a Better Bettor Newsletter 8/19/2020 Hey, Bookie Boy, Okay, you got the best of me yesterday. You mocked me with a 1/2 pt loss on my first game, then a 1 pt loss on my second play. You bitch. I came back and said "I believe in my numbers, and I'm playing the only two games I have...

    MLB plays for 2020

    Hey Jack, Hope you saw my reply to you above, don't want you to think I was rude and didn't respond. If you're looking to take a break from MLB, and don't mind playing the Social Justice League, check my NBA thread. My record on buys doesn't reflect it, but all plays I share, all systems (God...

    MLB plays for 2020

    Recap: Last time in, SD blew a 6-2 lead in the 8th inning, keeping me from a perfect 4-0 day. Record 3-1, +$175. Haven't been doing anything with MLB as I've been focusing my work on NBA, and the main MLB play I use requires a game of 12 innings or > the night before (see post #1 in this...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Or . . . You can say, "I've been coming close, I'm not going to quit." I make these numbers and I stand by them. There are two spots left to choose from on my card: Port Q1 (13-6 after this morning's W with Orl) and LAL team total Over (25-19.) Buys: Port Q1 +2' LAL Ov 120 And not a play from...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    A half point loss, a one point loss, AND my favorite pizza joint just went out of business due to the lockdown. Like I always say: If you lose your job, your wife leaves you, your dog get's killed by a car, and you find a message on your answering machine from your doctor that says, "I got...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Thanks, Coach W. My posted play today, Orl/Mil Q1 Ov 56', a play based on #'s I looked at after reading your post, was a lousy beat, lost by a hook AND I got a bad # as 56 was available and I could have had a Push. But the other game that qualified today, Mia/Indy Over 54' landed on 60 and I had...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    First, I want to thank everyone who stopped by and contributed to the dialogue here yesterday. Much appreciated. Recap: Missed with the Q1 spot, but a nice comeback choosing Toronto from the team total spots that were left available as they went Over by 18 pts. Playoff record 1-1. (I'll have a...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Idab - Thanks for stopping in for a visit, and for the kudos on Toronto. As for the other games, I have no buy recommendations on them, just giving some tips for those who may be looking for stats or opinions. And the plays would be Over, not Under. Here's what I posted: "The record on...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Yes Coach, I do it for every game. Just Q1 though. Here are the other games: Brk 32.8 Tor 29.4 Phil 30.7 Bos 25.5 Dal 29.4 LAC 26.2 Missed with my first play Utah +1' but, though it's just one game, I think we may have an answer to the question: Will the playoffs see better D or will the...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    Coach, I posted Den Q1 by mistake, thanks for picking me up on my error; it's Utah +1'. As noted in the post, all four Dogs qualify today. Here's how I arrive at these spots. I make my own number for each team (experience as an oddsmakers in Vegas helps here), based on their season # for Q1 pts...

    NBA 2020 Playoff Plays

    I have some data accumulated during the season that I will use in the playoffs. I tracked and charted approximately 20 situational spots to play; some I post, some I don't. The reason for not posting most is because they grade out near .500, so there's no value in them. You have to go through a...

    NBA 2020

    Thanks for the reply, Coach. If no one had replied I probably would have stopped posting. There are three reasons I post, and not one of them is for a pat on the back. But if no one cares, it's really just a waste of time isn't it? On the other hand, if even one person is interested then it's...
