    still deciding... and I will let you know. I think it will work, but there may be a nominal weekly or monthly fee for this service.

    Even without OT, it still would have been a win. Excellent pick John. I was actually rooting for Lebron to make both free throws at the end so it would eliminate the possibility of the Heat winning by more than 5 in OT.

    I'm seeing 180.5 as well. The line opened at 184 and has dropped to as low as 180. I feel like we have already lost the value you had posted at 182. A full point and half is a big difference, just think about the sixers vs kings over the other night. The only way I see this coming back up, is if the sharps buy back and possibly push it up to 181. Not sure what to do here, but my gut is telling me to lay off. Any thoughts?

    The honor system. Every time you look at it, send him $2! Just kidding, I am grateful that John posts his picks here though. I check all of his threads plus the homepage for picks every few hours throughout the day on my phone for his updated picks.

    looks like we are going 1-2 tonight, hopefully get these 5* on back on the right track. Seems like vegas has caught up to almost every game hitting the under.

    WOW, I don't think I have even seen it happen until today in a NBA game. Both teams made all their free throws - Detroit was 24 for 24 while Milwaukee was 17 for 17...

    I am 2-0 with my picks I have started posting. You will most likely not see any picks from me for the NBA simply for the fact that I don't feel confident enough in my time to research such a flip flop from night to night sport! I will pick NFL and NCAABB and I simply follow the same star grade as John. I am by no means as experienced or polished as John but I do feel after 10 years of wagering and experimenting I now lean more towards sharp than square! My philosophy is that for most not all you have to learn why you lost to know how to win! I will post on both threads simply because most people bet both. I am not here to post better ATS stats than John or to feel as if I'm more informed than anyone reading just a means of sharing information with others in the same business as myself and a good way to log and track my ATS for my own keeping! My picks last night were Zona vs ORST over 146 and Minnesota +9.5 vs Indiana as a 10*

    I am happy to hear that you are going to try to be a winner with your own sports picks. Do us all a favor and start your own thread! Don't piggyback off of someone else's thread. Good Luck.

    I apologize to anyone I upset or offended from now on I will just share opinion instead of posting any kind of record or plays! It was just an attempt to share and get feed back on what I considered good plays considering we are all here for the same reason to beat the book! I will start my own thread or blog if anyone is interested please follow and once again I apologize to john and all that were bothered! thanks for all the great info and outlook john and great call on Chicago!! keep up the great work and best of luck to all on this thread! god bless

    OK. for Sunday - even though we are all glued to the NFL - I like Phoenix + 8 1/2 playing San Antonio at 9:00 PM ET. This is a solid 5* produced by the neural net simulator.. I am planning on starting to show what and how these methodologies work in the weeks ahead.

    John, just curious. What's the research behind taking phoenix, considering theyre not that good of a road team. Also, what's your NBA record so far?

    I too had 8. Nets climbed all the way back to tie it at 83 with 6 minutes left. Pitiful down the stretch. Now I know why the Lakers got rid of Farmar, he's horrible...

    any thoughts on the Thunder vs. Celtics game? I don't see how the Thunder are only giving 2.5 points here. Celts are old and don't have the depth that the Thunder do
