    Thursday College Basketball Picks

    YTD 99-88-4 -9.50
    Favorites: 24-20 +3.30
    Underdogs 49-40-2 +1.50
    Pickems: 2-0 +8.00
    Moneyline Favs: 2-0 +3.00
    Moneyline Dogs: 0-0
    Overs: 0-1 -1.10
    Unders: 0-0 +0.00
    1st Half: 20-21-2 -12.10
    2nd Half: 1-0 +1.00
    Teasers: 0-2 -4.60
    Pleasers: 0-1 -0.50
    Parlays: 0-0

    Am real hesitant to post picks today after a nasty 1-7 showing last night. My "varying units" experiment has failed miserably. Im currently 97-86 (53%) but yet am down 9 units. From looking at the above breakdown, it pretty much screams that I should only be playing sides (favs/dogs/pickems) as if this were the case, my record would be 73-58 (55.7%) which would be very acceptable. If I'd have made plays based on 1 unit each, the resul would be +73 units (from wins)and -63.8 units (from the losses) for a net profit of +9.20 units ($920).

    But instead, I'm currently at -9.3 units ($930).

    Lesson learned. No more teasers, no parlays, no pleasers etc. Sticking to sides only.

    Taking: (All games 1.1 units to win 1 unit)

    Arkansas State -5 (win)
    Eastern Washington -2.5 (loss)
    Portland State +6 (win)
    Sacramento St +7.5 (loss)

    Good luck to all!

    I never had much luck varying units. Some people swear by it, but I wouldn't consider somebody a good capper if they had a sub 52% record yet were still in the black. I think that for as many people that have had success with it, there's just as many that have not.

    GL with the plays :thumbs:
    2010 NCAAF: 10-5 (+4.5 units)
    2010 NFL: 18-5 (+12.6 units)
    2010 NCAAB: 34-24 (+8.6 units)
    2011 MLB: 33-50 (-10.34 units)
