Nice night.
I was wondering what your rationale is behind using closing lines to grade all your wagers. It seems as if you do yourself a disservice from time to time... Like the GS game a few days ago. It was 4 most of the day and your bet could have been a push, but near the end of the day it moved to 4.5. To me, part of the chase is trying to find the best line at the best time of day. It can really make the difference. Would be interested to hear your thoughts, and if you think the bad lines even out with the good in the long run (as far as where they close).
Appreciate you posting your plays!

hey hh, i started using the close of scoresandodds many yrs. ago..... i think it evens out over the long haul. i really just do it that way to keep a honest and fair record......a few yrs. back there was a few people posting plays with lines consistently a pt. or 2 off in there favor all the time....dont see as much of that here nowadays...
i try to get the best line i can always.....and alot the time i get a better line that scoresandodds closing line....its just easier for me to do it this way.....
btw, i got the overtime screw job last nite with houston+7.5.....cost me over 14k in 6-team parlays i wouldve hit........i hope that evens out sometime!!!
oh yeah and hhippo great season you got going ....keep it rolling brother....
burgh......

I see what you are saying. I really appreciate your transparency and accurate record keeping. You are a really good capper.
That sucks about Houston. I HATE losing games, in OT. You would think they could cover that number in 5 minutes after keeping up the rest of the game. Ugh.
GL going forward!
