    Saturday Plays

    normally i like to ease my way into the season, but there's too many games i like today. so, as a wise man once said... 'get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.' so here we go... psu (-28.5) 2 units. psu is laying one more point than they did against akron. and syracuse, on the strength of an...

    National Championship

    just a bad, bad day on saturday. missed the big one with uconn (why would i ever take jim calhoun against tom izzo?), but i'm more pissed about the small play on the over in the unc/villanova game. after 89 points in the first half, wtf happened in the 2nd half? alrighty, water under the...

    Final 4

    we're really all the way down to the final four again. damn, these seasons just fly by. uconn (-5) 3 units. while michigan state was a nightmare matchup for louisville, that is not the case for uconn. still not an ideal matchup, but uconn can play the halfcourt game. for me, the biggest...

    Sunday NCAA

    thanks to a missed layup at the buzzer, i hit my bigger play yesterday with uconn, so another small profit. and if nova missed just a few free throws, who knows? maybe pitt would have won that game, too. they really didn't deserve to win, the way they played though. michigan state/louisville...

    well, i was on the right side of all 3 blowouts last night, but couldn't win the close one. hard to believe there's only 7 games left. uconn (-6) 2 units. missouri's style of play is the only thing that gives them a chance here. a game like this is where the loss of dyson really hurts...

    Friday Hoops

    it didn't take long to piss away all my profits from the beginning of the tournament. playing all 8 games on sunday was, uh, pretty retarded. but i knew that before i did it. which probably makes it even dumber. oh well, let's just keep regressing... playing all 4 tonight. louisville (-9) 2...

    Wednesday Hoops

    it was nice taking a couple days off after my foolishness on sunday. who woulda thunk playing all 8 games was a bad idea? one play tonight... st mary's (+3) 2 units. i'll be honest.... i know very little about san diego state. but i do know st mary's is a damn good team with patty mills...

    Sunday NCAA

    another small loss yesterday. the last day of the first weekend of the tournament... fuck it, i'm playing every game. arizona state (+3) 2 units. everyone who's read my posts throughout the season knows my thoughts on syracuse. sure, there's plenty of talent, but they are a bad TEAM...

    Saturday Hoops

    rough day yesterday, but all small plays, so still ahead for the tournament. still kicking myself for that fsu play. duke (-7.5) 1 unit. texas was just bad for the second half of the season. i'm hoping a win over a mediocre big 10 team wasn't enough to get them back on track. texas a&m...

    Friday Hoops

    again, stupid work will be interfering with posting tomorrow, so here are my early plays. nothing really huge; my big games are going late thursday. north dakota state (+10) 2 units. the bison have won 18 of their last 19 games. the jayhawks are certainly talented, but they are so young...

    Thursday NCAA

    won't get a chance to post my early games tomorrow (stupid work!), so here they are... was it last year that the favorites dominated the first day? that was a brutal day for a lot of us here. i hope we don't see a repeat. you know, except for my first game. lsu (-2) 1 unit. not 100% sure...

    Wednesday Hoops

    solid start to the postseason - 3-1 last night, with the only loss on my only total. one NIT game tonight and one CBI game. oh yeah, the CBI is back!! and it brought it's bastard stepchild, the CIT. really? because the CBI did SO well last year, they felt ANOTHER tournament was needed...

    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...

    Sunday Hoops

    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...
