I can't pick totals to save my life, I'd get every game wrong (and if I fade myself, I'd still get it wrong). Hence I never ever play totals (once a year a might play an over on a baseball game. Hot bats, mediocre straight ball pitcher, something like that.

at least I win against the spread 45% to 55% of the time.

If I was allowed to make totals bets in the Hilton contest I would be 15-5 instead of 10-10

Damn good topic Mr. B..........especially for the young guys starting out who think sides are the only way to go. Totals are easier to win and I base that on limits Books will allow on totals vs sides. My local (16 years) will allow a max of $1500 on totals and $3000 on sides. They hate bettors on the total side for various reasons.....

Would be worth while for the starting bettor or even a veteran to take a hard look at total betting.

My take for what it's worth............................worth commenting on.

Totals in football only. In NBA it's horrible. I can't believe how many times an NBA game goes over/under by 1 point. The odd makers for NBA must be psychic or it's rigged.
