    Amen to this.

    Bill Simmons was all over Kevin Durant winning the scoring title this past season. I liked this pick as well and I was on the fence, but he made me pull the trigger, which paid out nicely at 12/1.

    On a side note, how does Durant NOT win the scoring title again this season? LeBron's PPG are going to get slashed, along with Wade's. Who's going to challenge him? Carmelo is the ONLY guy that comes to mind, but with Durant's PPG going up every season since he's been in the league, I think this is a gimme. I also like Durant for the MVP as well.

    14) ROFLcopter's special lines. Actually, probably special lines altogether - they're 'special' for a reason.

    Here is the reasoning. You drink milk straight from the jug in the morning before checking if it's spoiled then you get an upset stomach and make bad bets the rest of the day.

    Never chase to get your money back. This is easier said than done. But just stick to a few picks a day have really helped me out lately. I won by avoiding games that turned out to be losers.
