Re(1): #207 - What do you look for when handicapping?

Posted on August 5, 2007 at 10:29:23 AM by Jay

when i handicapp a game, i always look for how a player played the game before and if there are any hot players on any certain runs. when i am watching live game vs the internet, i used to look for girlfriends and wives/family in the crowd.
i sometimes look at post positions that are early with who will pick the serve and score those early non-volleypoints.
mainly when i handicapp a game that i hope to win, it always comes down to how much i am willing to bet vs the pools. but honestly i bet to just watch the game without giving a care most of the time to thinking about the expected win. ever since quinns have been paying low (i caught a few 78's that paid under 40.00) a few years ago along with the low tris, i sorta lost respect for the betting aspect of the game.
when on line, i only bet straight tris hoping to always turn a matchstick into a lumberyard, but never do anything more that cover the cost of lunch.
