    Goldy

    This Gopher team has surprised a lot of people this year, including myself. Since the home loss to FSU they've been getting better by the week. They're still not world beaters, but anyone coming to the barn will have to play well to win. Michigan State is still unproven on the road this year...

    Attention Caribsports Account Holders

    I'm in a bind today. I'm in second place right now in Caribsports's Last Man Standing Contest (user 18583) with 3 entries left -- the leader has 6. I have no way today to deposit funds into my account to play the 3 entries ($1 each). If someone would be willing to buddy transfer, say $8, into...

    North Dakota Fighting Sioux

    I had a beer the other night with a buddy's little brother (a not so little 310lb center) who just played 4 years at North Dakota. He said this year's team is something special and thinks they'll win the D2 title. Of course, gossip is gossip, but when I see 5Dimes offering them at +15 against...

    PrePaidATM -- problems?

    I've enjoyed using PrePaidATM because it's easy to fund and you can use a card to withdraw at any ATM machine. 5 Dimes just told me today that they've discontinued PrePaidATM due to some problems. Wondering if anyone knows about potential issuues over at PrePaidATM (Ohio-based company)...

    Big 10 Game of the Year - Wrong Team Favored

    The Gophers are a sorry team right now. They've been deflated since the Michigan loss and now I believe Glen Mason can no longer motivate this bunch. I don't envision Mason back next year. Earlier in the season everyone thought Minny had a good chance to win the conference, but now their...

    So Fla / TCU

    Could be a trap but 53 is a low number for a high school defense that TCU puts on the field. This one could be over the number by halftime.

    Twins / Angels

    Radke has owned the Angels over his career. Sele has done the same against the Twins. In Anaheim tonight, I see this as a very good UNDER 9 play. Angels pen is rounding into form -- Radke should go at least 7 and let his stingy relief crew take over from there. I envision a 3-2, 4-2 type of...

    US Open Futures

    I've been looking at the futures odds for the US Open, trying to find value. I think looking past the big three (Fed, Roddick, Agassi) is the way to go. Hewitt seems to be rounding into top form and I like him at 8:1. I also like Haas at 50:1 and Fish at 75:1. Any further thoughts?

    Olympic Tennis Question

    Kick, or someone else, could you please explain why neither Agassi nor Hewitt are playing in the Olympics? I'm puzzled. Also, how does the medal determination work for tennis. Thx.

    Carib Rant

    I used to enjoy Carib sports, especially for their horse racing. Today I tried for 30 minutes to get a PICK 3 wager in on the Kentucky Derby. They kept telling me it'd be fixed, but they never fixed it. This outfit is sinking fast and I'm sad, because they used to be one of the best.

    Kentucky Derby

    OK, time to talk Derby. Right now is the best time to find good action, because we can weigh nice future book prices against what we guess the race-day odds will be. This is the most wide-open Derby I've seen in my 19 years of following racing. There are bargains galore out there on horses...

    Second Round Dogs

    I've seen stranger things happen, but I think you can make a case for every dog to win their series in the second round. San Jose should take care of a Colorado team that was made to look better by a hapless Dallas performance in the first round. Toronto, Montreal and Calgary both should ride...

    Minnesota Picks

    The Gophers are very hungry now for their first Big 10 win and I think they get it tonight at home. They've played some decent games of late and should get the victory against an average Michigan team. The T'Wolves usually have all kinds of trouble playing in Utah. The energy was good last...

    Carib Getting Attacked?

    Anyone know what's going on at CaribSports? I wonder if they've been victimized by the hackers. Their site has been highly unreliable for the past couple of days.

    St. Johns Johnnies

    We know Mount Union is a perennial powerhouse. However, Coach Gag's will have his Johnnie's prepared for this game. He said this is his best team in several years. I cannot see St. Johns getting blown out by anyone. 5Dimes is showing the line at -23 for Mount Union. St Johns +23 is a very...

    Three Live Bowl M/L Dogs

    I like these three moneyline dogs best -- you can get better than 75:1 if you parlay them! Kansas +400 -- NC State getting WAY too much respect, this should be a close game Navy +400 -- They'll run all night to try and control tempo against an overrated Texas Tech team. Michigan +200 --...

    Big Play for Wednesday

    This Dallas Stars team is vastly underachieving this year so far. They're 2-6-2 in last ten. When the Stars come to town. the Wild are always out to prove they ain't playin' second fiddle to their predecessors. Though the season records thus far are almost identical, the linemaker hasn't...

    Solid Play Tonight

    I attended Tuesday's Wild/Canucks game. The Canucks beat the Wild to about every puck and after the first 8 minutes or so really dominated the game. They weren't at all happy about taking a 1-0 loss, as Bertuzzi broke his stick over the boards after the final horn sounded and most Vancouver...
