Hi, I have been working on something pretty simple and it seems to be working pretty well. I have always heard that Vegas does not spend as much time on totals as they do on sides. The reason being that most all the money bet is on sides. Anyway, I have not posted my totals plays anywhere, I will post them this comming weekend, I was wondering if anyone here does totals and if we could bounce our totals off each ohter. I am not asking to share info on how we arrive at our totals, I just want to say for this game I have this total etc. and see how out totals match each other. I can obtain totals for each game, I may not play them, I look for certain things in a total before I make a play. The totals that I post will be the ones that I play, also, I mostly play FIRST quarter totals. Here is where I have had the most sucess and it seems to me here is where Vegas spends the least amount of time or at least is the weakest when it comes to giving a line. It is also very exciting and intense because unlike playing a side or a total for the game we are done with a quarter pretty quickly. Thanks.
Totals, does anyone here do them???

yes sir i love totals and as urself i concentrate on totals usually more then sides so hit me up and we can exchange notes!!
frogster,
I am interested in totals also.
I encourage you to post your picks on whichever games u decide to play.
Hopefully you decide on them early enough for us to see and sift through a bit! :0corn
whatever you do, best o'Luck! :toast:

I also prefer totals...

although I am hitting over 60% in a NFL PICKEM contest on ESPN right now... picking every NFL game each week. Stupid lucky over there for some reason as I don't always bet what I play in the contest! :mj07: Went 8-8 first week, and have won every week since. Sitting at 9-6 for this week with TENN +4.5 Pending, but may change that play. I have a 4 Game lead and it pays $600 for $55 entry. The lines come out TUE and aren't always reality by SUN. Like this week I had IND +.5.... nice line.
Tonight I am in the minority, but I like the UNDER. Especially in a teaser where we can bump it up to as high as 55.5 if we go 7 points. Being able to get Under the key numbers 48, 50, 51, 54, 55 is huge. Even 52 as in 28-24 since the line is 4, but I like that if one team goes nuts (HOU) and scores 34, the other team STILL has to score 22 to beat us. HOU gave up 20 to INDY at INDY two weeks ago, and I'm sorry Vince is NO MANNING. He cannot even carry Eli's jock, let alone Peyton's.
We are coming up to the time of the year I love, as weather becomes a factor in playing Totals in the NFL because of snow, cold, wind, etc.... Lots of line movement and middle opportunities if you stay on top of it.
For tonite, I'm probably going HOU & Under. I don't see TENN beating HOU off a bye week, and on a teaser they would have to not only beat them, but win by 4. I don't see it, and I don't buy the whole "TENN is averaging 35 PTS a game with YOUNG at QB".... no, they are averaging 35 pts with CHRIS JOHNSON running over weak defenses. HOU does NOT fit into that category any longer....:nono:
Good luck! :SIB
