Sunday we had an easy win with Cleveland +101….final score 6-0

Today no tracking setups but there are a number of games tonight that look promising as plays.

My NBA season is now officially over as I have no set ups I look at for the semi finals and finals. Below is the recap of this season in the NBA:

In Post Season tracking setups we went 17-16. So not a chance of turning these into plays next season. But still worth tracking.

The bright spot is The sides during regular season

1/2 Unit plays were 18-9-2
1 Unit Plays 2-3

Next season all plays in the nba will be 1 unit plays. It looks to me by restricting the NBA to Side that only exhibit the highest percentage setups we can pick up 5 to 10 units a season.

Of course the caveat is I am an optimist! We will see:)

Also I see nothing in the totals for regular season. Unless I uncover something between seasons I will not follow regular season totals in the NBA.

NBA 2012 -2013

Post Season Tracking Plays ( I do not bet these)
Sides 6-8
Totals 11-8

Regular Season
Betting

1 Unit
2-3

1/2 Unit
Sides 18-9-2
Totals 0-1

Look for Plays around 3:30 today.

Also…..as some of you know I am at the computer all morning from 5:00 AM until around 1:00 PM PST. If anyone has any questions about particular games or anything else feel free to contact me on my chat screen.

Good Luck Today

9:45 Update

Sunday MLB play
1/2 Unit
915 – – F Hernandez
916 – CLE – J Masterson +101

Saturday we swept the board! Colorado +106 won easily 10-2. Our tracking setups went 4-0 with the over In the Pacer game and Detroit +183 in the NHL both winning easily. Indiana -5 covered in the end game and Colorado O 10.5 covered late in the game.

So a 5-0 day….a rarity over the last month or two.

Needless to say I was anxious to get things handicapped this morning and find that there will be no tracking setups today.

As far as plays……there are several games in baseball that are close to a play but they could go either way and most likely out of the play category. But I will monitor them and update with plays if they become clear.

Thought for the day:
“Everyone is a mirror image of yourself—your own thinking coming back to you.” ( There is more truth in that then you can imagine)

Good Luck Today

9:00 Update

A Comment:

“Hi Rick,

First off thanks for the picks. I was doing a little comparision between your volume of NFL bets last year, compared to the previous two seasons. I noticed you only bet 18 games last year, compared to 30 and 31 in the previous seasons. Do you think the books have become more adapt to your system, and do you anticipate a being closer to the 30 figure or around 20 again this year?

The reason I ask is because I am considering trying to clear an online bonus this year with one of the major sportsbooks that I don’t have an account with, so I am trying to figure a rough figure for an initial deposit (to survive swings) and an average bet size that would allow me to clear the rollover requirement.

Thanks again.”

Actually I think last season was an anomaly. I cannot ever remember seeing a sunday where there were 10 highly bet public favorites and every one of them covering easily. Also you know its an unusual season when I start getting emails that my methods no longer work! And that betting the public favorites is now the only way to go.

Saying that it has been obvious over the last 2 or 3 years that my methods are not as strong as they used to be in the NFL. But as far as I can tell they are still positive EV.

As far as the number of games wagered there would be no idea how to predict that. The sample size in the NFL is so very small season to season that I do not think you can draw any conclusions based upon the last 3 seasons.

Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Thought of the day:

” I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people ”

901 – – M Harvey
902 – CHC – E Jackson +128

8:30 Update

For those of you that like to multi task…something to consider:

“there are definite limitations on the number of conceptual units that humans can handle at any one time. As the complexity of the information increases, effective use increases only to a point. Once complexity increases beyond this point, use of the information decreases in both quantity and quality, and behavior becomes confused and dysfunctional (Driver & Streufert, 1969; Jacoby, Speller, & Kohn, 1974; Miller, 1960).”

Thursday there were no plays but we had 4 tracking setups that went 2-2.

The winners were Knicks in the nba and Colorado O in MLB. Losers were San Jose in the NHL and the total in the knicks game.

I thought we had San Jose last night as they were ahead by 1 with about 3 min left in the game. Oh well!

Friday NHL Playoff tracking setup ( I do not bet these)

Ottawa +178

I will update later with any plays. Today actually looks like several plays tonight.

Good Luck Today
