It seems like the NBA season has just started, but we're already nearly two full months into it. PickLogic's performance over the past 50 days has been pretty much what we expected: a 15-11 win-loss record, and - more importantly - a 6.98% positive increase.

But PickLogic's true effectiveness is always measured in the same way: by how well we avoid long losing streaks. (If you haven't noticed by now, the whole system is based on that specific element. Avoid long losing streaks, and the value of our clients' portfolios continues to move ahead steadily.)

How have we done through the first part of the NBA season? Two 3-game losing streaks, one 2-game losing streak...and that's it. (And we've thrown in two 5-game winning streaks, for good measure.)

(So...in other words...pretty good. Hence the nearly 7% gain in less than two months. And our 2009 goal was to be over 30%, and - at +33.4% so far and just 10 days to go - that looks like a safe bet as well!)

Accordingly, we want to thank you all for your continued patronage; especially our new members (PickLogic.com has gained more new members in the past two months than we had in the first 10 months of the year combined). Please don't hesitate to let us know what you like (or don't like) about PickLogic, and how/if we can improve it in any way. You might be surprised to see how quickly you get a response if you send it to support@picklogic.com; at least one of our Customer Service representatives is nearly always on call.

We'll wrap this post by giving you all of the picks that "qualify" for Monday's games; note that - as usual - only one made the grade as the official selection. (And that we expect to go 3-1 or 2-2 with these selections.)

Monday's Qualifying Picks:

- Milwaukee/Indiana, UNDER the total of 202.5
- Utah/Orlando, UNDER the total of 204
- Sacramento/Chicago, UNDER the total of 200.5
- LA Clippers/San Antonio, OVER the total of 193 (*this is the pick*)

Thanks again, and have a great holiday season and a happy new year.
