Shark13fan is back in Bad Man and Three and Out, and she’s not strolling in, she’s storming in like she’s ready to flip a table and dare anyone to step up. She’s calling out every non entrant who’s still too scared to put their name down, every chicken hiding in the corner acting like they’re “waiting for the right moment,” every weak pretender clutching their wallet like the lint inside is worth protecting. She’s out here demanding answers, demanding spine, demanding someone finally stop ducking the smoke she’s bringing. She’s pacing the forum like she’s ready to scrap, ready to throw down with anyone who keeps hiding behind excuses instead of entering. She’s telling every wannabe handicapper to quit acting like background noise, quit pretending they’re contenders when they haven’t even shown up, quit acting like the contest is going to magically enter itself. She’s back with claws sharpened, attitude loaded, and zero patience for anyone still too scared to step into the arena. If you haven’t entered yet, she wants to know exactly why you’re still standing on the sidelines watching real competitors move because from where she’s standing, you look like you’re scared of the fight she’s bringing, scared of the heat she’s dropping, scared of the beat down waiting for anyone who finally grows the courage to enter. Shark13fan didn’t return to play nice, she returned to make every non entrant feel the pressure, feel the challenge, feel the smoke she’s ready to unleash on anyone who keeps hiding instead of stepping up. ....

Now everyone knows that the home team has an edge in any sporting event and this edge is as much as 60-65 % in the NBA. Some of the reasons given are the home crowd, familiar with surroundings, getting the slight bias on the referees calls, and of course the amount of time the team had to rest. I will let you do your own research on NBA crowd ratings and NBA referee bias. In an attempt to control familiarity I will only rate games here that are Eastern conference team vs Western conference team since they only play each other twice a year, one at each teams home arena. Now for the qualifications for a rested home team. 1) The visiting team must have played a road game on the previous day. (In other words they are playing the second game of back to back road games.) 2) The home team must have had an off day on the previous day that was not a travel day. (By not a travel day I mean their previous game was a home game or they have had 2 or more days since their previous game if it was an away game.) I will list all the games that qualify once a week. I may not be available to update the pointspreads every day. I will keep a running tally of my record based on the pointspreads given on the links on this forum. I realize we will be laying some big numbers on obvious favorites. The goal is isolate the best plays available and to track their record. I would not recommend playing these picks blindly but rather in combination with other factors of your own choice. The play is always on the home team. There are 4 games this week that qualify. Wednesday Jan 12, 2011 Sacramento @ Boston New York @ Utah Thursday 1/13/11 Miami @ Denver Saturday 1/15/11 Cleveland @ Denver

OP suami Freshman Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 230 west michigan	well both the Washington home dog games were big losers. The record now stands at 9-6. The Wiz might be the worse team in the NBA right now. I wont be reccommending them again. If anything I would reccommend fadeing this ragtag bunch the rest of the season. In fact I was thinking that if I do this thread again next season that I would limit the plays even further to only play on teams with a winning home record vs teams with losing (less than .500) road records. That is how much i hate giving out a losing play; I would be willing to limit myself to one play a week if I have to in order to avoid giving out a losing play. Thats the catch with these system plays. They sound great on paper but there is always some kind of complication when you try to implement it in real life. Anyway enough with the ranting lets go find some winners! Saturday March 19 Boston @ New Orleans (Boston is 19-12 away N.O. 24-10 home) Philadelphia @ Portland (Philly is 13-22 away and Portland is 22-10 home) Monday March 21 Sacramento @ Chicago (Sac 7-24 away Chi 30-4 home) Wednesday March 23 Washington @ LA Clippers (Wash 1-30 away LA 18-16 home)
