3 picks tonight...
Detroit plus 7.5 over Philly
Indiana plus 4 over the Bucks
Clippers minus 1.5 (may be 1 or even by game time) over the Heat
All against the public and worth a play.

Boz,
Normally I'd wish you luck, but since your 3 picks go against mine, I can't. I hate starting out in the hole.......
Good Luck tomorrow though!

I have been tracking a type of play whereby under certain circumstances within the formula, I expect a team on a streak, to have that streak broken. For lack of a better term, I will call it a "Streak Buster". The first one this year is today.

I threw your NBA picks into my Excel for November 2012
Your 42-45-3 record is what it is...
I show a 10.64 unit investment needed (flat betting)
-6.82 units ytd net results. (end of yesterday)
You ended Nov 2012 with a 3.82 unit bankroll
and made 7 bets today.
More out of pocket. 13.82 units total.
Go 7-0 today and I show a YTD net of only -0.45 units
Hey, that would be a great way to start December 2012
wishful thinking... it could happen... (added) but did not happen
45-47-3 record as Dec 1st
13.82 units total invested (flat betting)
-6.09 units net
Continued Good Luck to you!

Thanks for the good wishes! 7 and 0 ain't gonna happen. Somewhere between 2-5 and 5-2 will.
There was 1 road favorite with this morning's line, the Portland Trailblazers. Ideally I would like to see that one win, if nothing else.

Hey Steeldco,
I have been following your threads for a while now and would like to make a suggestion, add another set of picks using a coin flip ATS. We have this argument all the time at work that it is not possible to beat random picks vs. educated picks because the lines for pro-sports are far to accurate. I think that since you carefully track your play already; it would be an interesting experiment to see if you can outperform random picks.
