emu ov 51 above avg this time of the year

might have a few more and a few tips these are all small plays , you can't really play to big till you get into week 3 or 4 the first week even your so called best teams will make mistake. Then you have to go to wk 2 and see if they made adjustments and still most big teams will be playing soft schools tunes ups, then by week 3 you should havea harder game and week 4 you should know who is real and who is not, so first few weeks tread easy.

Good Luck

[fletcher]

it is a lot easier to have extra games i played in fb and hoops then baseball.baseball i just have a limited number of teams i use so not much left over that i myself played, and damn sure don't want to play a game i am not sure on and post it here and then lose peoples money that they work hard for same as i bust my ass to make my money, i just won't do it, others peoples money means to much to me bad enough when i lose mine but i really feel like shit when i lose others who follow.

i took a small play om minn if this game was on grass i would say kent could hang and they still might but i don't think so. Min is a team built to play on turf all speed.

susan called me she will have 2 games i can post around 245 or so she said she would call me back, soon as i get them i will post them here since we share top few plays each week, i gave her my 3 and she has 2 today and 3 on sat she is looking at and i will post all of them here, i have my games out have since monday night but looking at 7-9 more once i get list cut down i will post them all but 1 here ,i have to send 1 to extra fee guys but you will have a full card + i am sure i will have ames from 2 other pros real pros out here and a few runners calling me to make some extra money for themself fo each game they win i pay them 100 bucks if they lose they get zip, so when i get them i will post them as they come in and as always i use 1 thread for the whole week so i don't have to look around and see how things went all over the place, i keep my own book for every sport but for here i like to keep everything together.

good luck Eric

almost forgot i got minn at -14

will post susans soon as she calls me back .

Eric, I hope you don't mind me adding this to your thread. This is from our local paper.



Gophers-Kent State preview
Quarterback: Redshirt junior Michael Machen became Kent State's first first-year starter to pass for more than 2,000 yards last season, completing 200 of 365 attempts for 2,071 yards and 11 TDs. He also threw 18 interceptions in the Golden Flashes' spread offense. Minnesota's Bryan Cupito returns for his fifth season, third as a starter, and should have a good year. He passed for 2,530 yards and 19 TDs, with only nine interceptions, last season. Edge: Gophers

Running backs: Kent State didn't run all that much last season, 284 times, and last season's leading rusher, Jerry Flowers, gained only 304 yards. Redshirt freshman Eugene Jarvis gets the nod this season and can't do any worse. Minnesota ran 601 times last season and had 1,000-yard rushers in Laurence Maroney and Gary Russell. Both, however, are gone. Amir Pinnix (467 yards on 78 carries), the top returner, will lead a trio of tailbacks that includes converted linebacker Alex Daniels and true freshman E.J. Jones. The Gophers will run early and often to see just what they have; it will be more than enough tonight. Edge: Gophers

Receivers: Flashes senior Najah Pruden (6-3, 185) caught 33 passes for 688 yards and five TDs last season, averaging 20.8 yards a catch. Senior Marcus Hill (6-2, 211) caught 33 passes for 372 yards. Minnesota returns starters Logan Payne (37-529) and Ernie Wheelwright (37-568) and adds talented redshirt freshmen Eric Decker (6-2, 210) and Mike Chambers (6-1, 190). Edge: Gophers

Offensive line: Kent State returns three starters, but the Flashes ranked dead last in rushing offense last season with 505 yards total. They also averaged three sacks a game. Minnesota lost four-year starters Greg Eslinger and Mark Setterstrom, who paved the way for the nation's third-ranked rushing attack (273.08). Only right guard Ned Tavale is playing in his first season, and even he has been with the system a year. Tony Brinkhaus, a starting tackle last season, replaces Eslinger at center. Edge: Gophers

Defense

Defensive line: This appears to be Kent State's strength. The Flashes averaged a remarkable 8? tackles for loss last season, eighth nationally, and return senior end Daniel Muir (52 tackles, 11 TFL, 3 sacks, 7 hurries) and junior DT Colin Ferrell (51 tackles, 16 TFL). Minnesota DE Steve Davis returns after leading the team with six sacks as a true freshman, but DTs Neel Allen and Todd Meisel have little experience, and DE Willie VanDeSteeg is entering his first full season as a starter. Edge: None

Linebackers: Kent State's projected starters had four starts between them last season, four by Cedric Maxwell on the weak side. Senior Andre Kirkland started every game at strong side last season but moves to safety. Minnesota's John Shevlin, Mike Sherels and Mario Reese are a strong unit, and coaches and teammates have raved about the improvement of sleeker, faster MLB Sherels. Edge: Gophers

Secondary: The Flashes return four starters. Senior CB Usama Young has seven career interceptions, and junior FS Fritz Jacques (75) and Kirkland (74) combined for 149 tackles. Minnesota S Dominic Jones is a star in the making, and Jamal Harris and Trumaine Banks are solid, veteran CBs. Junior college transfer Duran Cooley will be expected to contribute at S. Edge: Gophers

Special teams

Newcomers will do the kicking for Kent State. Sophomore Reid Macko gets the first shot to replace PK Travis Mayle, who made 8 of 11 attempts last season, and true freshman Jake Kilroy will punt. Minnesota sophomore Jason Giannini had some well-documented issues at PK last season, hitting 13 of 19 FG attempts and missing eight PATs. But he did beat Michigan with a last-season field goal, which still counts for something. P Justin Kucek had his problems last season, too. Edge: Gophers

Intangibles

Boy, uh, well ? Minnesota is the team with little to win and everything to lose. Kent State never has beaten a Big Ten team (0-7), and no Big Ten Team has yet deigned to play in the Flashes' Dix Stadium. So a Kent State victory would be a fairly big deal in Ohio and a fairly big disaster in Minnesota. The likelihood of this meaning anything is remote. Edge: None

Prediction

Kent State played 18 true freshmen last season, and 24 players were making their Division I-A debuts. That certainly will help this year. On the other hand, the Flashes were really terrible last season, going 1-10 and ranking at or near the bottom in most statistical categories last season. They may get better, but it's hard to imagine them beating a Big Ten team ? particularly one as eager to prove itself as the Gophers. Gophers 48, Kent State 3 ? John Shipley

 

[fletcher]

well here is one of her plays she said it would go to 10 and did toledo+10

should have others with in the hour she is waiting the line out on both.

 

[fletcher]

her last 2 tips she is going to wait longer but i need to go some place might be back for a 1st half or for sure in time for a 2nd half play on sdst game.

her plays s.carolina-7 she said wait it out might go to -6.5 at a few places and with rain off and on

last one fiu /mtsu ov 44 should score close to 60 she said. but remember most stats and stuff are on last years people returning.

hope to be back to give out what i am going to do ond sdst/utep maybe a 1st half or if i only miss a few mins will be able to do a 2nd maybe if i don't get back i am taking utep ML small play should be around +125 or so depends where i am at

 

[fletcher]

my bad got her tip on fiu to late to you have had it for 40 mins go with s.carolina game over 40 she said or 40.5

if fiu score is low 1st half and total is below 21 or 22 then just take it the 2nd half.

got to run hope to see you by halftime if not sometime fri night or sat

 

[LonghornMM]

fletch, always look forward to your plays.

Out of curiosity, who is Susan?? Knowing you I'm sure she is solid and you have good reason for posting her picks.

Thanks and G/L.

 

[taoist]

...your opinion is ALWAYS appreciated...along with your tips.


Best of luck this season, big E. :SIB

 

[Dugan]

Susan and her Dad are long time great cappers. They have both made a small fortune. Eric has great respect for them. Thier picks are very solid. Stick with what Fletcher tells you to do and you will have a great season. I have been with Eric's service for years and have not had a losing season yet, in any sport. It's all about money management. Eric is like an investment broker who actually manages your money personally and makes you a fantastic return. My wife still wants to know how we afford the 2nd home in Florida, luckily I make commission and pay all the bills.
P.S. Eric bailed me out of a horrible losing week over 2k and made me money in the same week, and he did it by phone personallly.

 

[addikted]

Solid night fletch, great start to the year!

How they hangin Eric:mj07:

Good to see you around here again and thanks for your help............

[fletcher]

I will take a small play on unr, it is not like they don't have a very good off. minded coach. He is one of the best for many years there and turned down lot bigger job. Aluts off will always score points and deff will play hard for whole game.

Ault is in the college football hall of fame he isn163-63-1 took off to years to become ad and did not like how coach Tormey was doing even though they had a winning record under him i think he got fired for losing to unlv out of 4 years.

this should be a good game i really think 13 is way to many points but then again i could be wrong but i know unr will score some points so will take a very small play on them.

good luck

Eric

About 4 years ago I was lucky to meet Susan and her Dad when I was in Vegas sitting in a sports book with Fletcher. He had sent me an email about them and I saved it - don't ask me why. I thought it very interesting.

We never talked out loud about games I showed them a small book and they passed me a small book because you never bring attention to others or yourself out of respect to the main person over all who has helped me the most the last 10 years had 2-3 more old-timers help me but nothing like Angelo and Susan, you can let them know Susan's dad was one of the top book directors in vegas in early 70's till mid 80's her mom died when she gave birth so susan grew up in the back of the book in her dads office and she has 3 nices house all do to handicapping she is 55 and has had 1 job her whole life a pro handicapper, her dad is now in late 70's and can still pick them left and right they both taught me more then anyone, the business art of beating the book and they are family to me who I respect just like my own family. with out them teaching me the money part and what to look for besides what I look for as a ex coach from a scouts stand point I would never have mede the money I have out here, many people can pick winners Angelo told me and showed me but only about 5% can hold on to it and reinvest your winnings not only in sports but mutual funds, bonds and stocks with a great broker he set me up with . He is old school got out when corps tok over was already set for life but like he said to me 1 day as long as I can still pick the winners and keep my investment I will do this till I die and he will he loves doing the numbers and him teaching me both sides of the book was a major help, he still teaches me as does she each week something new, and the stories he has are great, One thing I will always remember never be flashy stay low key, the guy who kooks like a bum in the book chances are he is worth over a million if he is in the book each day early and late fri, then you see your horse people all dressed in dockers and double nits, 300 buck shoes, Rolexes , they have nothing but losing tickets for the most part but the show they put on makes them and others think they are the king, you stay low and only the book and writers know you and if you take care of them they will never give info out on you our you plays , and on Fri. after 2 I go to my one book and get my print out of where all the money is being bet on fb or any sport not really supposed to have it but I get it each Fri. night I use to post it till I got yelled at by Angelo since he set me up with it. and first thing to look at is round robins of 2; 3; and 4;s then 2 team parlays, you ask why a number moved most of the time is because of what I told you to look at not some group moving numbers with a straight bet but their runners hitting 6-7 books all at once with the type of plays I said for limits, this can really hurt the books take so they adjust the main numbers on boards, very few times is it due to weather, or inj it is due to these types of plays and big time scalpers which is not handicapping at all it is a manipulating of money and if your group has that kind of money good for tem that happens more off shore then in vegas any more they know who scalps out here and just won't take the bets. I have shown a few people susan and introduced her as my friend as well as Angelo but never did more then say hi and leave, that is being low profile . And if you try and figure out a line move don't unless you have been taught and know why fro someone behind the cage who you take care of just like the runners I use, you always either show respect to the old-timers and take care of the others who pass you stuff you should never get your hands on. Don't get me wrong they saw I had a gift I was not given the golden egg I put in 13-15 hour days they just have and keep polishing the egg.

 

[fletcher]

unr/fresno un 25 cal neva lot of offshores has un 24 .5 which is fine med size play 2nd half

 

[LonghornMM]

Thanks for the explanation ferd.

Man, sounds like Susan and Angelo have a helluva following. I'd love to meet someone like them that I could chat with each Friday to talk handicapping and which games are the ones to pound.

Fletch, the next time I'm in Vegas I'd love to meet up with you at a sportsbook at your choosing to have a beer and talk football. Thanks for posting your plays here. They're certainly eagerly anticipated and very much appreciated.
