Happy Holidays!

I'll be on vacation until New Years, so today's picks might be the last until 2010. If I can find the internet, I'll be able to keep posting.

NBA Black Box has been on an unbelievable streak through all of December. ***** ATS picks are 29-11 (72.5%) for a unit gain of 1690 and a total ROI of 42.3%. If you can find a better capper, tell me about him so I can shake his hand.

I hear from a lot of you guys and I know that there are some big winnings going on. If you've been on a roll and you feel generous this holiday season, please consider making a donation or a tip - as much or as little as you see fit. It takes a lot of time and energy to maintain this site and I want to be able to keep it up.

Thanks!

Always a fun night when there are 12 games. Since I stopped posting exact scores, I'll post the score differential. That way you're prepared for line changes. O/U hasn't been doing that well anyway so I'm not going to provide the total score.
