Finally had time to sit down and review my Saturday, didn't finish as strong as I started out, but all in all a pretty solid Saturday...

PLAYS
South Alabama +2 (1.5 Units) L
Central Florida +1 (1.5 Units) L
Western Michigan +7 (1.5 Units) W
Cleveland State +9.5 (1.5 Units) Outright W

Wisconsin -5.5 W
Tennessee +5.5 W
Northeastern +1 W
Arkansas -10.5 W


LEANS
Fresno State +14 (0.5 Unit) L
CS-Northridge +7 (0.5 Unit)L


Added...

USA 2H line will prob be a play if I can catch it; they will make a 2H run much like Wright St last night.

Yep. USA -2.5 2H. I put a unit on it.


Plays 7-2 +4.7 Units
Leans 0-2 -1.1 Unit
Added 1-0 +1 Unit

Overall 8-4 +5.6 Units.


Puts my YTD at 95-69-5 +21.6 Units 58%

7-2 is nothing to sneeze at, will take that all day everyday and twice on Sundays.......played a bunch straight and went 5-1.....did a 7 team teaser, used some of your plays, and fricked it up with Georgia.

Some guy was touting his nba sides chops in another thread I told him to come over and show off. Maybe we've found the Bigfoot.

Yeah I saw you working him...but trust me it's hard as hell to stay consistent posting plays on a message board and being held accountable. Much easier to simply forget about your losses when talking to your friends, trust me I have had unreal runs in the past and then lost every time I posted a play on here and got discouraged and never posted again. Takes a lot to get over that fear alone, atleast it did for me.

I finally feel like I have got my college stuff down to somewhat of a structured process, I know what to look for and when a play is good for the most part. My plan for today was to start digging and find something atleast somewhat consistent on the NBA front, even if it is just one or two plays a day.

I worry about not having the time, but I definitely have the ambition to try and take down that monster.

I feel the same way......I've posted some of my football picks and have had the same result.
I've also had times in the past where I told myself that I would record all my plays just to keep track.....but it seems like I start losing when I do that..and then end up giving it up.
I probably need to do that so I can adopt a more disciplined strategy than I currently have. I'm probably breaking even, but I think some of the plays I'm making are trash and could be eliminated if I saw how much they are costing me.

If you feel like you've got a good understanding of the CBB landscape, why even mess with NBA?

I was struggling in CFB up until around week 7 when everything clicked and I felt like I had my brain wrapped around things. From there, I absolutely crushed CFB every single week thereafter, and ended up way way up on the year.

This happened to me last year in CBB in mid to late January (I can't recall exactly). I was up and down, but then at some point I just felt like I "got it": I knew which teams were elite, atrocious, overvalued, undervalued, etc. And from there I just crushed it the rest of the season.

My point is that if you do feel like you have your brain wrapped around CBB this year, just stick with it and crush it.

Very valid point, and I have only played 3 NBA sides since January 1, and I believe all those were on days with not much college to choose from.

I have played mac's quarter lines because I don't have to even think about or question them, because he has been turning a consistent profit for a good month or so now.

Anything I play would not be for much, I think the simple challenge of feeling like I could get some sense of what the hell is going on in the NBA from a sportsbetting standpoint, It is crazier than the NFL on a nightly basis.

I think NBA might be the hardest sport to beat. It's close between NBA and NFL.

Already have three plays pegged down for tonight, I expect to go 2-1 but a sweep would be a sweet way to start the week.

I'm digging more through injury reports and line movement and expect to post them around 4.
