Just got back home. Looks like I should have put more cash in the kettle.......as i pushed and lost the New Jersey/Clippers game. If it would have been a normal day where I was around I would have had 2 wins because I usually wait to get lines and then place my bets late afternoon. The way I determine if I think I have the right side is would I be willing to double my bet at some point during the game. I would have doubled or tripled my first half bet without a doubt with 2 minutes left and my game bet going into the fourth quarter.
Here is a better explanation of the correlated parlays. If you have a game like Clippers Under and there have been 100 selections and 70 have gone under. I then look at if the home team or visitor has covered a certain number. If it was 35 home and 35 visitors it is not real valuable added information even though you could have bet either combination and hit 35% of your parlays.
Now say the program gives 100 plays under and hits 60%. But this time it is 40 home and 20 away. The home and under is 40% because 40 times the game went under and the home team covered out of 100 games. That is a strong indicator. The program is designed to predict totals but it can also be an asset in looking at sides in some cases.
Today the side of Boston, San Antonio, New York, Brooklyn and New Orleans look fairly solid.
