can you start posting each weeks picks in a new thread? going thru and looking at each post is a pain.

post a link to past weeks picks in the new thread. this would be much easier, and i'd be much more inclined to read your picks.

When I click on the link to this thread, it takes me to the first post that I hadn't read. Its not a problem at all for me.

Matchbook cancelled my wager at -103 due to the game's date change. I picked up -2 again at -101. The bet is therefore now:

Miami Dolphins -2 -101
$101.00 to win $100.00
10/20/05

Note remains the same.

Just to reiterate, 5 unit bets aren't locks, they're simply very highly rated. Historically, I think they've lost in the range of 30-35% of the time. Risk diversification is still king in NFL wagering.

what kind of odds would do you need to get for it to be +EV to bet the moneyline on a 15 pt dog

You're treading into difficult territory because the sample of 14.5+ games is pretty small. What I can tell you is large underdogs at home (7.5+) have a far better chance of winning outright than road dogs getting the same amount of points. My initial research into NBA spread trends indicates the same.
