12/10/08 Play YTD (3-2-1) +.3 Units, Boxing games would put you up +5 units from the start but that is unofficial.
Basketball - 747 Gonzaga -5 -120 buying ½ for Game (2 Units, very rare to have this much value)
We took a last second loss on the San Francisco game last night, they were leading at the half time by 5. Boxing these games at the half would have changed a 1-2 day into a 4-3 day. Please read this from a previous post and live by these rules especially in basketball.
-------------------------------------------------
Two new rules I want to add to enhance your profit, we were able to do this on the Indiana game yesterday. When we are on a team and they are winning the game straight up at the half. Bet on the other team second half when you have a box 3 points or larger. I.E. last night we had Indiana Pacers +8 for the game, at the half they were winning by 7 points straight up over Dallas. I bet Dallas 2nd half -6.5 creating a situation where Dallas just had to win the game and if they won it by less than 8 I win both ways. If you lose on this play you lose 10% juice, when you win which should be at least 1/3 you win 2 units instead of 1. (You are risking 10% to win 200%, that is a 20:1 ratio) It increases profits and provides protection against your original bet, another example is the New Jersey game last night, they were +13.5 for the game. At half time they were down by 2, this left 11.5 points for New Jersey, the lakers were a -7.5 favorite for 2nd half. I bet on the lakers, creating a box where if they lakers win by 6-10 points I win the game both ways. What actually ended up happening is the Lakers crushed New Jersey, instead of taking a full loss on the game I just lost juice. If you are at all able, box your bookie in at the half when we are on dogs. Make sure you always have at least a 3 point cushion when doing this. My personal result doing this yesterday turned a 2-3 day into a 4-3 day.
