How much time do you spend capping one game?

[Journeyman]

Always an interesting question, the time it takes and what all goes into capping one game....Especially the MNF GAME, I can think back through the years all those monday afternoons weighing both sides "who to pick" for the Monday Night Game.....

I would think the MNF GAME is the bookmakers meal ticket, EVERYONE HAS TO PLAY IT RIGHT??? ITS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Back to the original question;

How long do you take to breakdown whether you have play or not?

There`s always the risk of OVER ANALYSIS

TOO

Usually no longer than 10 minutes or no time at all, I go on first instinct to avoid overannalysis

This often works for me...I only bet when I have SEX ...sometimes twice a week ,sometimes once every other month if we're fighting . Anyway , the day that I get some , I always remember How I climaxed . If I was on top - I always take the "over" ; if I shot my nut off while I was on the bottom - I take the "under " . Unfortunately , your question was How long do I take to Handicp... you guessed it ....30 seconds !

WOW! I bet your husband isn't very happy with you Kimchee!?

Jman - you are right about the short cards favoring the bookies. Seems historically they do well on Monday and Thursday nights when there is only 1 game played. Makes sense if you think about it. Instead of a big card to cap your best game people are forcing plays up, especially if the week ends on Monday. Gamblers are stuck 2 dimes trying one more get even shot before the week ends.....

IRISH you Disappointed me with that statement . NoONE comes between me and my Doberman...not even my husband !

MNF is an all-day capping affair (same with Thurs night college games, etc). It's usually going through my mind all day at work. By the time the games comes on I have gone through all the possibilities and either have a strong play or a pass. I've found that historically I do much better on these games.

how long i take to cap a game is a direct reflection on how much im betting. if its a small bet like just to make the game a little interesting, not long at all. but if i like it a lot from the start, and i start thinking about loading up, ill look at it for a LONG time.

as far as monday night football goes, i thought the public generally did BETTER on monday night games than the average. maybe im wrong but i thought we had a thread about that last year and judge and some of the other book guys all said mondays were public nights.

15 min.-30 min. on a baseball game, 10 min.-15 min. on a football game and sometimes less.

I must say that if I see a number I think is off or much better then at another book I will just play it without capping, I will play the numbers game when appropriate!

However long it takes me to read Rx-Maniac's posted plays and place bets on the other side

I do all my work on the can, so it depends on what I ate the night before.

By the way anyone want me to send them a copy of my notes after I have capped a game.

Only Hockey, no one I know, touts, can seem to pick any other sports with big time win numbers.....

[jjgold]

about 2 minutes per game that is all you need. Just see the last few games the teams have played and go off that.

Once i have all of my browsers open for the needed info, It only takes minutes. Used to try and cap every game on the board and bet as many as i could get a feel for. Busy, busy, but if in the groove, should just take minutes to see the stats, rankings, injuries, line moves, schedules, etc....
