4-5 night (-$140)
 
I appreciate the brightside outlook Muddy. Since starting this I have had cards that I thought were terible turn out incredible and cards like last night that I thought were really good turn out not good at all.

I am learning the importance of having options in various books in order to capitalize on the best lines and prices though. Having a decent system or program is great but in order to take full advantage and increase the potential for staying ahead of the curve the numbers are ever important.

Since starting this there have been at least 8 games that I lost due to a 1/2 point. I can't say if any of those games were available at other books 1/2 better or not but if they were that would make a huge difference in where I am at right now.

In basketball (NBA and NCAAB), 0.5 point (in sides) is essentially the difference between breakeven and advantage or losing and breakeven. Pretty significant.

Although, it's also quite possible to have a strong edge, get the best line available, and still lose by the hook.
 
For me, it's all about the money.

There are the half points and there is reduced juice.

Perhaps there have been 8 games you lost by a half point - and perhaps the 4 pushes would have been turned into wins with another half point (??) - so that half point would have come into play 12 times. A free half point probably wasn't available all 12 times. Lines are pretty synched up these days. But maybe you could have gotten it a few times. That's good. Even if it's only once, it's money.

Out of 208 picks so far, I would guess there was better juice available on 208 of them. That's more money every time.

Money, money, money.

Daft please make an attempt to attend one of Bread's Mini-Bashes this year.

Daft I have never once said that price and or lines are not important. I have only ever said that not everyone has availability, time, or capital to spread it around or spend all day shopping for the best lines. Those of us who do this as a hobby or impulse players can only attempt to maximize what they can.

If you add the $98.28 that I have rounded off of all wins to the $91 I am showing as profit to this point it gets better but noway in hell any of us are gonna make a living netting $200 every 200 plays.
