MY NBA PICKS.

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Greetings r_ventura_23,


I think by 1:pm, that line will go up even more.
This is not a game EASY to bet.
I can not tell you to buy it BACK down, is up to you.

I repeat ,this is not an easy game to bet.

luck at the casino.

Greetings,

At 1:pm the odds went to 13.5, now the bucks must win by 14 points. They can do it, is a hard way to the finish line.

I try to play at 3"am, when i put in my bet with my bookie, he is on his 5 cup of coffee at that early hour.
I just call him up, And put the bet in.

Luck at the casino.

Greetings,

I learned something today, will not give more then 7 points to the other team. It cost me 200 dollars today.

If the line i have to give to the other team is more then 7 points , will not bet that game.

BUCKS won the game, but did not cover the line, [ BUCKS 93 and the HORNETS 85. ]

NOW won 5 games AND lost 5 games ] even.

luck at the casino.

It was -14 for me when my book opened I passed. Looks like the more the action on the games the less likely that they cover. I'm trying not to say anything but curious minds do wonder? It seems like the less bet games that I'm able to get close to jaimes line the games turn out true. There just have been a lot of games that the favorite has stop scoring in the 4th. Jamie have you ever considered under the radar games that don't get much attention? I appreciate your hard work on this and sharing it with us.
Cheers

Greetings grinder,

It cost me 200 dollars today BUT 1 WILL not be taken again by vegas, think about it, i will not bet a game
where my team has to lay 8 points or more.

You take me for a sucker Once or Twice BUT not the third time, do not forget what i said at the beginning this is a experiment that i am running for next year,next year if i am still alive, my bet will be 500 dollars a game, spoke to my bookie, he will take the bet.

I am saying that some of these games ARE fixed grinder, agree with you, WHAT a coincidence that good teams just stop scoring at the end of the third quarter and the fourth quarter, when they do not want to cover, have played 6 or 7 games like that in the last 6 weeks.

With some help from you, and my experiment, I WILL learn how to win these games.

Luck at the casino.

Just an idea but look at the 2nd tear teams when I was younger and followed college basketball there seemed to be a less of a surprise. Maybe try to pick games that are out of the limelight. I know you are working really hard at this and you are the man but when was the last time the bucks scored so low and won. Let’s have adult beverage and and figure a way to advantage play the game.

Jamies system has worked......I think he is something like plus 20 games.

I am not sure of the system, but I wonder if it takes into account that the Bucks have already clinched a playoff spot and are just cruising.

I was at the casino yesterday and after walking away from the craps table, I tried to put in the Hawks, but was too late.
I guess I can consider that a kind of a win for me.

Keep posting Jamie, you'll turn it around.

I'd stand a better chance of winning if I spread strawberry jam on the top rail on one side of my deck and spread blackberry jam on the top rail on the deck on the other side of my deck and flipped coins to make a decision which side the bees would land on first. Jaime said it all a few posts back when he said "some of these games ARE fixed". . . and "WHAT a coincidence that good teams just stop scoring at the end of the third quarter and the fourth quarter, when they do not want to cover. . ."

Which gets me back to my old "Don't bet on it if it eats or shits" mantra. And it should probably be amended to say something like "Don't bet on it if it eats, shits, or has a mamma, daddy, brother, uncle, or other relative or "business associate" who enjoys casual sports betting."

Personally, before I'd bet $100 on sports I'd give it to a Punta Cana hooker, ask her to bet it on black on the roulette table and bring me my winnings if it hit. I'd get screwed either way, but I'd probably feel better about it in Punta Cana.

Greetings heavy,

I love it, every time you post...you leave me laughing and wanting more.

luck at the casino.

So far i"m having the last laugh on vegas, my experiment is working out just fine.

Next season i will be laughing even louder, when i bet 500 hundred dollars on every game, and to top it all off the year after i will bet 1000 every game.

If the game is on the UP UP UP UP UP UP UP will beat them out of alot of money, like i did on horse racing.

Luck at your FAV game, CRAPS.

not sure how your pick the games but do you think the second half will be harder to pick winners. I assume you have something that takes injury into account but what about playoff seeding and players taking nights off (literally and just not playing as hard if they dont have anything to play for.

Ive never been a sports bettor so i havent really had any experience handicapping games. I have been good at picking winners in both football and basketball playoffs. If i was forced to pick winners it would be mostly with eye test and knowing the players and how the teams match up. Who guards who etc.
