Serious Streak Survivor Strategies

Taking the Over in the Raptors/Bucks

Over: 193

I'm not a gambling guru by any means, I mostly just play free streak games online for fun and a chance to maybe win some $.  With that said, I can tell you some of my insights.  No matter how good you are though, luck will always play it's part.  First I think you need to determine which prize you're after...going for a long streak takes a different strategy then going for the monthly prize.  I love trying to make picks every day, so for someone like me it's hard to back off and pick spots.  I have a W5 right now so even though the month is young, I'm probably out of contention for the monthly.  So, I'll probably switch up and devote a little more time to selection.  I think that's what most people do:  pick anything every day till you get a few wins in a row, then either decide to go for the monthly or switch gears and protect your streak.

I usually like to try for the monthly because A) I like picking every day and B) the thought of losing a W15 or W16 and having to start over just sucks.

I try to stick with NBA and NCAAB, which I think are more predictable.  I like taking the over in most cases, especially when it's projected low (like Evansville last night).  I'll scan the NCAAB games for totals in the low 120s and then take a closer look.  For the NBA, if I see a total in the 180s then I'm gonna look at that.  Just my two cents but I think with the chance to push the bet and the overtime factor, low totals are worth serious consideration.

Anyway, sorry for the long post.  GL everyone.
