Today's Picks:
Milwaukee Bucks -7½
Cleveland Cavaliers -6
Edited for the following comment:
Since road favorites, so far, are the only category doing well I am going to go 2X's my ordinary investment on the Cavaliers tonight.
So it becomes Milwaukee -7 1/2 for 100 and Cleveland -6 for 200.

AS an FYI, the lone visiting favorite yesterday won. Visiting favorites have hit at a high percentage this year, although this year is a small sample size. Last year, the visiting favorite, out of 255 picks had a winning percentage of 53.73%. So far this year it is 66.67%. Recently I arbitrarily raised the amount wagered on visiting favorites to be double that of the others. I'm going to calculate a wager amount using the Kelly criterion and start using whatever it is today.

Cool. Thru 260 or so picks, it's a winner. Not a large enough sample size yet, but getting there. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint......either of us. Good Luck!

Well, I applied the Kelly criterion to ascertain the amount to wager on the Visiting Favorites.......and I just can't bring myself to do it. It comes out to 1,500 per day (rounded down). Need to mull this over.....at least I have until tomorrow to do so.

There were no picks yesterday.
Insofar as using the Kelly criterion is concerned, I have decided to hold off a bit before increasing the wager size once again. I think that we are due for a bit of regression on the winning %.
Today's Picks:
Cleveland Cavaliers -10
Charlotte Hornets -5½
Detroit Pistons -8½
Indiana Pacers +11½
Toronto Raptors +5½
Dallas Mavericks -8 2x
Los Angeles Lakers +7½
Washington Wizards -1½
Portland Trail Blazers +6½
Sacramento Kings -5½
Houston Rockets +8
Dallas is the lone visiting favorite and they are being taken for 2Xs normal amount.

I jumped on Dallas last night, although I had to give 9.5 not 8. Even though I won, I was wondering if the extra 1.5 would have made a difference in you selection process?
What do you have for tonight?

In the Dallas case, the 1.5 wouldn't have mattered. In fact, in most cases a line move would not matter since the selection process includes being sure that the team picked shows to be several points better.
I just got back in and will update the data and post today's picks in a bit.

Not going to take the visiting fav tonight. Popovich is known to sit key players in road games during the season and you never know when. I'll check again tomorrow.

So the Kelly Criterion indicated the wager size on Visiting Favorite picks should be 1,500 (rounded down). Being the conservative that I am, I find it difficult to take it all the way up to that immediately. I will bump it from 2X's to 5X's starting today. There is 1 Visiting Favorite picked today and it is Toronto.
Today's Picks:
Toronto Raptors -11½ 5x
New York Knicks +2
Indiana Pacers +4
Oklahoma City Thunder +4
Charlotte Hornets +9½
Dallas Mavericks -7
Minnesota Timberwolves +7
Los Angeles Lakers +13½
Houston Rockets +2
Boston Celtics +9
Sacramento Kings +15½

This is dicey. Toronto is only 3-8 straight up in their last 11 games although one of the wins was a 16 point victory against the Sixers in Toronto earlier this month. So, I'll bite, and play a little on Toronto (although I have to give up 13) since the Sixers are awful.

Thanks, you too!
By the way, if I had to pick another game tonight it would be to agree with you on Dallas -7 vs Chicago. Chicago is coming off a huge emotional win vs San Antonio, and having to turn around and travel to play on back to back nights against a very talented Mavericks team, won 4 of the last 5, and who had an extra day of rest.
I just really don't have any business betting NBA, I seldom watch except for the playoffs. I'll pick my spots based on what I read and on the success others have demonstrated.
