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.
