    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...

    Northern Iowa/Wichita St

    what am i missing here? northern iowa should be laying at least 2 or 3, shouldn't they? they already beat wichita state by 24. they are 7-0 on the conference road. last i checked, vegas doesn't usually give away money.

    Thursday NCAA

    i really hope this doesn't fall into the category of 'too easy'. louisville (-4) 3 units. had a huge play on the cardinals against the fighting irish last year, only to end up taking one of the worst beats ever, as notre dame rained in 3's from everywhere on the court the last 5 minutes or so...

    Wednesday Hoops

    went a few days without posting, and went on a nice run. naturally, these plays will go 0-3. 548 uconn (-12) 2 units. rautins is starting to find his stroke again, and that is cause for concern. but onuaku is still a non-factor. devendorf and flynn are just chuckers. i'm looking for...

    Saturday Hoops

    villanova (-5.5) 2 units. until rautins and onuaku are healthy again, syracuse is a bet-against for me. northwestern (+2) 1 unit. iowa has lost 4 straight and 7 of 8. gotta take the points. wright st (+2) 3 units. definitely lost a little value here with butler losing to the packers on...

    Wednesday Hoops

    alright, let me preface my picks by saying i am an idiot. i finally figured it out this weekend... if i'm ice cold, post my picks and i'll win. if i'm hot, for the love of god, don't post, because it will be the start of a losing streak. well, i've been doing pretty well since i turned things...

    Saturday Hoops

    alright, screw superstitions... i'm posting my plays today. besides, i'm in a tailspin and can't do any worse than what i've been doing this week. so here are 7 plays that you should probably fade. 526 pitt (-11) 3 units. speaking of tailspins, ladies and gentlemen, your 2008-2009 notre dame...

    Wednesday Hoops

    alright, after taking a break from posting hoops, time to start up again. pretty much just going against the grain here. each of these is for 1 unit. kent state (+3.5) kansas state (-3.5) talk about a line that makes no sense. north carolina (-13)

    National Championship

    here's the strange thing with me and the nc game... how many years have they been playing this game now? well, last year was the first year i ever hit it. yup, i was oh-for the nc game until LSU came through for me last year. so... do i still suck at this game and i just got lucky once? or...
