    ML on both tonight

    Tor +250 (.5 unit) Ind +240 (.5 unit) Yup, I just think at least one of these two teams will take it. I've seen the first four games of these series (for the most part) and these games are just not mis-matched to this extent. I expect Reggie to play awesome tonight. I think Spike Lee might...

    McCline / Briggs

    Jameel "Big Time" McCline (27-2) is the up and comer, who might be getting a shot with another big win or two. He gets to fight a guy with a recognizable name in this one and should be hungry. His last fight he beat Lance Mount Goofi Whatever Whittaker in a small upset. Shannon "The Cannon"...

    Spider Man Under 72.5

    Opening weekend Spider Man u72.5 Million @ WSEX. 72 is a monstrous weekend. This movie opens next weekend (may 3-5), *before* Memorial Day which is the unofficial start of summer movies. "Scorpion King" set an April opening weekend record with about 40 M last weekend. I can't imagine early...

    -- Florida RL and ML --

    I suppose RJ's gotta lose eventually. Olsen had some nice innings last year and hopefully he can keep this close, but this is more of a bet against all that money on RJ than a bet ON Olsen. Brenly wanted to take RJ out last Sunday in the ninth, when he was still throwing in the 100's. If he...

    1 pick

    Last night the O's used Groom, Julio and Bauer. Tonight, they have Rodrigo Lopez starting who has only come out of the bull pen in his previous appearances this season. Sox either get to the bull-pen early or Grover leaves Lopez in there to take his lumps preserving people for the showdown with...

    Kings -10

    So the Kings were a 12.5 point favorite over the Jazz. A valid line. I was thinking it was going to be 12-13 or so. Now, the Jazz come out, play 'em tough and all of a sudden, they're only a 10 point dog. Come on. This line should still be up around 12. Find 10 at SIA. 10.5 most other...

    Nolan -- some calcs with the vig

    Good column today. I also think you need to have a strategy with your bankroll, but maybe with more modest goals. I hope to increase my roll by about 50% (I have a number in mind) by the end of this *year*. That's sports and poker put together. In regards to your bankroll doubling strategy --...

    B's-Hab's looking like Van-Det

    Bruins come stumbling into the playoffs and the Canadiens come in riding a hot goalie. Sounds a bit like the "Debacle in Detroit" from last night. Bruins three lines of solid 'O' can wear you down, and being somewhat of a B's fan, I hope they rip Theodore a new one, but I wouldn't put too much...

    Dear Big_Mack

    A few questions: If we pick chalk in the CP thread, are you just going to assume that we are betting to win 1 unit, unless you hear otherwise? Likewise, if we pick a dog, are you assuming we're risking 1 unit? Is this how the CP's record is kept? One final thought: You might recommend in...

    Nolan -- Eisenberg

    Just FYI -- you might already know all this, but... John Eisenberg was a columnist for the Baltimore Sun for several years (I moved to b-more in '96 and I think he was working there then). Last year some time he wrote an article saying he was taking time off because some publisher wanted...

    A general handicapping question...

    I read Nick Douglas, notorious dog bettor, state before that he likes betting baseball because without the point spread his goal is the same as the team he bet on (something like that -- sorry if I misquoted you Nick). But is it really worth it if you prefer to play favorites? Take an example...

    The Orioles

    They might be the worse team in baseball. This might be one of those teams with a .400 winning percentage when all is said and done. Here's some info to keep in mind when capping them this year. If you're going to bet an over on this team or bet on this team you should at least pause...

    info on danthebluegrassman?

    I'm not much of a pony player, but I've been doing some reading and thought I'd try to get an opinion on this horse. I know he's Baffert-trained. Pretty long odds right now, but I've read he's running pretty well at Santa Anita. He was beat in his last race by yougottawanna, but his jockey...

    Dear Nolan

    I think Polyester might be losing touch with his roots. Yesterday, Dallas was coming in after winning 8 of their last 10 while Minny had lost 7 of their last 10. I think the Polyester should have been pounding the mavs. On baseball: I love your futures suggestion on the Texas Rangers. I...

    Here's something kind of funny

    A certain C.osta R.ican I.nternet S.ite has MD at even money to win the whole tournament, and has them at +108 to beat KU straight up. I'd like to book the action of the sap that lays the C-note on MD to win it all at even money. BTW, their ridiculous and atrocious futures are part of the...

    Any current sign-up specials any one know of?

    Do you know of any current sign up specials, particularly by sites that have futures on the NCAA tournament. And ONLY from sites that are reputable and reliable... I already have accounts at Cris, WSEX, Carib and SIA, so those are out. Thanks, TheShrimp

    Serious opinions about OU-MD or OU-KU ML, please.

    I have a futures bet on OU that I got at 50-1. In light of that, I have a few questions that are important to my hedging scheme. Any help is greatly appreciated. Q1: I know that the line will be reflected in what happens on Saturday, but what do you think a ML would be if OU played MD in the...

    MD-Kentucky writeup

    Lots of people on the board like UK. I'm going to try to talk you out of it. All comments are welcome, especially from those more familiar with how UK runs things. For starters, UK got 41 from Prince against Tulsa, and still only won by 5. That kind of has to scare you right there. Besides, he...

    Cocktails

    Recap: Well, all the dogs I played fared a lot better last Thursday than last Friday. I was on two faves on Friday that covered, though, and one (MD) that didn't. It was a fun couple of days, though. I ended up about 3 games under .500, and down about 4 units after the vig (you can see it add up...

    Cocktails

    I didn't take it in the :moon: yesterday. 9-7 on posted plays. Ended up playing HC, though, and went small on my ML's, so It was more like a +4 unit day. Further, I played the Pepperdine for someone else, but posted it as if it were mine (so it was actually a really nice day for me all told)...
