    Erin Go Bragh!

    if i only had a brain, i'd be patient and wait for some juicy games on thursday and friday. finished the regular season at 60% (59.8% for you nitpickers), which is what i normally shoot for. not bad after the crappy start i had. and that f--king 3-point heave at the end of the ohio...

    well, finally at 60% for the year. i'll take it, after the way this season started. louisville did everything they could to not cover last night... and syracuse was just too tired to walk in the back door. hallelujah. i kept waiting for the munchkin that 'cuse put in at the end of the game...

    Saturday Hoops

    well, i'll be damned. this whole 'staying disciplined' thing really works. only one play yesterday, and i hit with syracuse. so not only haven't i given anything back (yet), but i've actually increased my profits during the conference tournaments. that said, probably too many plays today. a...

    Friday Hoops

    as promised, i've been taking it easy this week. just one play tonight, and it could be the worst play i've ever made in my life. syracuse (+6.5) 2 units. i've been playing against syracuse all year, and doing pretty well. there is talent, but they don't play defense, nor do they play good...

    Wednesday Hoops

    looks like just 2 from the big east tonight. west virginia (-5.5) 2 units. obviously notre dame has been a huge bust this year. i've said it for 3 years now... nothing wrong with this team that a decent point guard couldn't fix. tory jackson consistently makes bad decisions with the ball...

    Monday Hoops

    well, i'm guessing this is where the great run ends. as i've been saying the last few days, the conference tournaments are never kind to me. as promised, i'm treading lightly. one unit each. vcu (-4) right off the bat, i'm liking this one less and less. a smart gambler would stay away from...

    Sunday Hoops

    5-1 yesterday. so much for giving back my profits. this is probably the best 3-week stretch of my life. and just in time, because i am awful during conference tournaments. so i know the next week will be brutal. anyways, not much jumping out at me yet today. maybe once the lines on the...

    Saturday Hoops

    i'll start with a question... anybody know if marquette gets the 4-seed with a win? they'll be tied with 'nova, and they split their games this year. i don't think it will matter, but i may put a little more on the game if marquette has the extra motivation. marquette (-5.5) 2 units. i've...

    Wednesday Hoops

    slowly giving back my profits... marshall (-10.5) 1 unit. the line opened a bit high... 68% on rice... and the line moved up a point. georgia tech (+3.5) 2 units. miami should be favored by 5... opens at 4.5 and comes down to 3.5? with 90% on miami? hmmm.... after losing 6 of 7, the...

    Tuesday Night Hoops

    not really loving anything tonight. just a couple small plays. one unit each. iowa (+1) i'd rather not bet this game, because now i'll feel obligated to watch this snooze fest. but osu has lost 4 of their last 5 road games (with the one win at indiana. does that even count?). gotta take...

    Sunday Hoops

    3-2 yesterday, but lost my bigger play with villanova, so a small loss on the day. louisville (-9.5) 2 units. wow, everybody on marquette. the golden eagles are playing their first full game without their point guard. they struggled without james against uconn. i know normally teams step up...

    Saturday Hoops

    can you believe the tournament starts in less than 3 weeks? north carolina (-23.5) 1 unit. so many points. just a gut feeling here that the tarheels are going to be out to prove a point after their loss to maryland. villanova (-6.5) 2 units. what is this, the 3rd straight 'must-win' game...

    Wednesday Hoops

    well, the great run of last week is probably over. only 0-1 last night, but what a spectacular loss it was. i do have a question... is ANYBODY on uconn tonight? indiana (+4) 2 units. another game it looks like almost everybody is on one side, and yet the line is dropping. purely based on...

    Tuesday Night Hoops

    i really hated to see last week end. might have been the best i've ever had in any sport. let's see if i can keep rolling. st john's (+4) 2 units. imagine that? i'm going against syracuse. am i becoming too predictable? originally i didn't quite like this as much as my recent...

    Monday Hoops

    the last night of one of the best weeks of my gambling life. i've been saying for 3 days that i'm due to come crashing back down to earth. well, only one game tonight, so i can't get into too much trouble. louisville (-2) 2 units. my first instinct was that this line was too easy, but...

    Sunday Hoops

    finally slowed down a little yesterday, but still made a profit. the crash is coming though... i feel it. villanova (+2.5) 1 unit. my long-time readers (both of you) knew this was coming. i will continue to play against syracuse every chance i get. i'm pulling back to one unit because...

    BRACKETBUSTER SATURDAY

    this great concept sure has been diluted quickly, hasn't it? how many of these teams are truly 'on the bubble'? half a dozen? probably less. i mean, are cal poly SLO and south dakota state really battling to improve their tournament resumes? anyways, 2-0 last night to continue my ridiculous...

    Friday Hoops (Including my Ivy League POY)

    i'm going to preface these picks with a warning... i'm knee-deep into a martini. i had one hell of a night on wednesday, but didn't see anything i liked last night. so i'm sure my run is over, but i'm gonna play two tonight. yale (+5) 1 unit. that's right, my ivy POY is a 1-unit play...

    Wednesday Hoops (Including My CAA GOW)

    ok, probably the only CAA game i'll play this week. toledo (PK) 2 units. ball state beat toledo by 13 just over 3 weeks ago. they are in first place in the west division (toledo is tied for last). they opened as a 1-point favorite. 90% are on ball state. and yet the line dropped to a pk...

    Saturday Hoops

    it was very considerate of the schedule makers to give us such a relatively crappy slate of games on valentines day. georgetown (+5) 1 unit. both teams have been exposed in the big east. syracuse's guard play is simply not good (except for rautin's shooting) and the injuries to rautins and...
