    Islanders offering a great deal...

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=ap-islanders-freetickets&prov=ap&type=lgns I know the catch is that next season may see a lockout happen but this seems like an unbelievable deal. Great way to get fans to the arena an experience how much more exciting live NHL action is compared to what...

    Brewers sign Jenkins

    http://www.jsonline.com/sports/brew/mar04/211595.asp I am pretty excited about this. Along with picking up Kolb, picking up Davis and trading Sexson, this makes a good string of personnel moves for the Brewers over the last 8 months or so. I know there are a number of fellow Wisconsinites on...

    My favorite movie from last year was BIG FISH

    I'm not looking for an argument or anything, but with the Oscars coming up I'm just curious what some people's favorite movies of 2003 were. Whether you thought they were deserving of an Oscar or just cool in some way, I'd be interested to see what people liked. This goes double for folks like...

    Beat the Pro update

    Here is the link for this week: http://www.bestbettor.com/playerlist.php?sortby=&sortfield=&offset=&search=beatthepro I need to get more active in this competition. I see "coinflip" has joined as well. I don't remember a poster on Mad Jack's named coin flip, but I have my suspicions who it is.

    Thursday night

    I will do my record keeping once Jack gets back. I can tell you that I lost money last week and I am down thus far this week. Everything else is updated on my page. Chicago vs. WASHINGTON over 191 1/2 220/200 Wizards seem to adapt their pace to the opposition and the Bulls are known to...

    Wednesday night

    Utah vs. SEATTLE under 182 220/200 Looking for a slower paced game than last night after Seattle took such a beating.

    Wednesday

    COLUMBUS -1/2 -130 over Chicago 220/169 Columbus played well in San Jose last time out but took the loss. Now they are back home, where their last few performances have been solid. Chicago is in another 3 in 4 situation. Their play has been better lately but this feels like the spot where...

    Yet another reason CRIS is the best

    I have talked before about the early lines and fast payouts, but Olympic has those as well. What separates CRIS in my opinion is the lower juice they charge. 20 cents instead of 30 cents on MLB season totals, -225/+195 instead of -225/+185 on higher prices moneylines, etc. It is true that Oly...

    Beat the Pro standings For those that haven't been following, I'm in a contest with a professional handicapper from February through the end of March. Each man makes 100 plays at Best Bettor and the winner get an agreed upon prize. Lafe Merchant and Square Guru, who aren't part of the bet...

    Friday Night

    Tampa Bay vs. BUFFALO under 5 +110 220/242 Noronen on a hot streak in goal and Buffalo is playing well overall defensively. Tampa showing defensive weakness lately but against such a hot team I expect them to hunker down.

    Bad beats late last night

    I didn't have any action on the late games yesterday, but I stayed up to see how two of my favorite teams, USC and the Clippers, would do. USC led by double digits early, was tied with about 3 minutes to play and still managed to lose the the 8 1/2 point cover. The Clips had 117 points scored...

    Thursday

    Toronto vs. CAROLINA under 5 -110 220/200 Weekes seems back in form. Leafs have had defensive issues but they are playing a less than stellar offensive team.

    Wednesday Play

    Jack is out of town so I will be posting my plays in here and in the NBA forum until the 25th. I have to give a shout out to Mr. Hockey for that amazing night last night. If you haven't checked out his thread from yesterday you should. More than that, if you don't check his plays everyday...

    Beverly Hills Bookie under new ownership

    It appears that Beverly Hills Bookie is now under the ownership of the same group that owns V-Wager, MVP Sportsbook and Players Superbook. I have never played at any of these books so I can't give a good recommendation for or against them. I don't like the idea of confiscating bonus money and...

    Correction to my page

    Atlanta +0.5 +140 should be listed as a 220/308 play, not a 440/616 play. 440 is the actual play amount I made but in keeping with the wagering system of making 220 and 110 plays for a maximum daily risk of 500 most days, this play should be a 220 risk play. Apologies for the error. Good luck...

    Beat the Pro update

    Beat the Pro standings after 2 weeks. Everyone within two dimes of one another. I'm predicting a close finish with at least 3 of 4 participants in the black and at least 2 participants with a $2,000+ profit.

    I think shopping for lines is overrated

    I'm not saying it isn't important; it is. I am just saying I am starting to think it is a heck of a lot important *when* you make your bet. When I shop I might get 1/2 point or, at most, 1 point difference in value when I shop. When I make a bet later or earlier in the day the difference many...

    Thursday Play

    CAROLINA pk -155 over Washington 220/142 Carolina has been worked over by Washington all season, but with Washington's new depleted team I expect the Canes to get some revenge. Weekes is incensed at the new rule changes and he should have a big night tonight.
