    NBA Monday 1/26

    Recap: 2-0
    Record: 5-3

    Review: Catching up on the recaps from the last two picks when I was short on time.
    0n 12/29 I banked a unit with the Toronto game Under, using the same system I used in my NBA article that week.

    Last time in, Wednesday January 14th, I did an "IF" bet - if the early prop bet hits, bank the unit don't play the late game prop.
    The first prop hit, I banked it.
    The late game prop would have been a loss for a minus juice on the day, see using the "IF" was a good move.

    I've had an unusual schedule over the last two weeks, back to normal now. I should be getting picks in more often.

    Nothing strong, percentage-wise, but I have some slight edges I'm going to try today.

    My model for choosing Wrong Favorites (WF2) has a record of 14-17 when it's a road team; slightly profitable.
    The game also qualifies as a subcategory I call the Asterisk Spot. This used to be one of my strongest plays but, as always with all plays, it began to level out.
    WF2 * spots on Rd teams is 2-3 this season; slightly profitable.

    Two teams qualify as play AGAINST teams for both spots noted above: Philadelphia and Orlando.
    Since I've got a 9:00 a.m. start on the Philly game and a late start this afternoon on Orlando I'll do the IF bet again.
    If Charlotte covers for me I can either bank the unit or let it ride.

    My play:
    Char - 2'

    One of the Cardinal rules of sports betting - Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

    Or, as Yogi would say, "It ain't over till it's over."

    But . . .
    Charlotte, ahead at the start of the 4th quarter 109-59,
    laying 2'?

    "Chicken number one, chicken number two, chicken number three," etc, etc.

    Bank it.

    (No play on the late spot.)
