Pace, if I have a play I will post 30 min prior to tip off, for the Celtics game. Leaning on Celtics 1st half, but have some work to do before deciding whether or not to make it a play.

Cleveland -3 best can get..what say still a play?

Pace, playing the best available line is important to me. With that being said I will never buy whole points, only hooks, and at worst I will pay -120 juice to buy them. However there is something I must say, and that you and everyone else must know, paying juice to buy points, is not profitable in the long run. I personally do this, simply for emotional purposes, since in the past when I have lost on hooks, it has convoluted the way I've approached games the next day. However, it is not a profitable strategy to adopt for the long run!! Winning/losing/pushing, directly as the result of a hook you bought, is rare. Rare enough, to make the juice you pay each time, not worth what is gained in the process. My advice is to play the line that is available to you 9/10 times, unless we are dealing with a key number. You will find that paying "extra" juice over the long run, is not a profitable strategy. I had this in mind when I first started posting, and considered, leaving out the part where I buy the hook, so that I would not encourage others to do so. It is simply a matter of personal preference, for me. Hope this helps.

I agree with your hook lesson Z. I've been buying it and it is mainly a confidence reason why I'm doing it. I also have been tracking how often it comes into play with my bets hoping I can gain confidence so that i don't buy it that often. The biggest problem I have though is that I only have 2 outs and by the time i finished my capping the lines have moved leaving me no option

Hey Johnny, I have not yet finished capping tonight's games, and though I can say there will be a minimum of one play, I am not sure if I will be able to post, as I will not be around a computer. I will try, having an associate of mine log in and post my picks for me, but cannot promise anything. Weekends are a very busy time for me. I'll go ahead and post a few leans, although, they may or may not end up being played.

Leans:

Pistons
San Antonio (no higher than 4)
Houston under

These leans are based on less than half of my normal capping tools, so take them for what they are worth.

GL as always,

Z

Pass on tonight's action,

Not sure if it's just me having trouble with the website today, but I have already made 2 plays, which I was not able to post..very aggravating..does this kind of thing happen often?

Why not able to post? Could not log on? Or wrote post and and website timed out? No idea as I have not had any problems of late.

Looking forward to your ideas on NBA...some games coming up.
