Give me just one factor that you consider important. You can name the sport and what you think is of value. I'll start off first.

Find out what side the books (and to a lesser extent, sharps) are rooting for and bet that side on a consistent basis.

Great thread Ted!
In baseball and basketball, I like to compare both teams over the last five to ten games, looking for hot teams vs. cold teams, especially if the hot team is a dog.
While I'm here, I'd like to say that Ted is my role model and hero. And not just because of his acumen in handicapping. I love his calm professional demeanor. Anyone who aspires to be a winning speculator should note his objective and even-handed approach to picking winners. No boast, no brag, just the facts. When I observe Ted in action, the phrase " Act like you've done this before" comes to mind. Plus, he"s a hell of a nice guy. Considering how successful he is, you could understand him gloating on occasion. But win or lose, he remains on the same even keel, ready to tackle the next challenge.
This is a great forum with a lot of great contributors but Ted is "The Man." Thanks for all you do for us.
