Honest Rob - NBA Picks

[HonestRob]

I'm fairly new to making NBA picks but I've done well so far. I'm 8-2 on the season so far but I didn't post those picks on this forum. I figured I'd start a thread to track them. I'm still new at this. I'd love to hear any thoughts about the picks, why they are good or bad.

12/06/08
Utah +6 @ Phoenix (this line is at 7.5 now. I made the pick last night)
Denver -5 @ Sacramento
Cleveland -8.5 @ Charlotte

*bold = my pick

Forgot to say all plays are 1 unit.

w00t! Nice start! I'm 11-2 on the season but for purposes of this thread I'm 3-0. Here's hoping my good luck continues. :toast:

rob it is really a matter of preference but for your sanity and for tracking purposes i would look at betting to WIN your unit as opposed to risking your unit to win so nutty amount each time.

it adds a level of consistency that could be handy down the line.

good luck.

Thanks for the input. Will that really make a difference though? It seems like it will just make my losses an uneven amount so when I add up the wins/losses I'm still going to have an uneven amount.
