I just realized I’ve forgotten to update the past two days.  Real life intrudes….
Anyway, from memory, I have:
Jets -3.1
Oregon State +5ish (I know I took them and points)
NBA, I have San Antonio, Houston and Miami, but I can’t remember what my lines are.  San Antonio and Houston were marginal edges, Miami was bigger.
Yesterday was a […]

9-9.  Unscientifically, it felt like I needed an awful lot of luck to reach .500.

about bad beats ever again I suppose, unless I recognize luck swinging my way.  With 2 seconds left and on their own side of the field, the Colorado QB launches a bomb (I assume of the Hail Mary variety) gets completed for the spread covering touchdown.  Of course I had that baked into my numbers.

Getting down to the end here.  My spreads for Week 13 are below.  I’m playing favorable spreads I can get at -115 or better.

Good Luck!

Not a terrific week, but felt way worse than it was.  Plenty of opportunities blown.  It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
For the week I went 12-14 in non-pushed games for 46.15%.  YTD is 132-102 for 56.41%, so still plenty of green.  Hypothetical $110 wagers at -110 yields $1,980, or a tidy little 7.69% return.

Good Luck!

Not a good week.  Week 11 came in at 13-17 for 43.33%.  Overall, I’m 120-88 for 57.69%, so still very good.
It was a real grind the whole day, but I was ahead by a little the entire time until the very late games where I whiffed completely.

Here are my Week 11 spreads for college football. I’m playing all games at -115 or better:
ACC

VirginiaTech -8

We don’t have much college football remaining.  At this point, I think it’s fair to say the BCS conferences are yielding excellent results while the non-BCS conferences are yielding terrible results.  I won’t spend the time on the non-BCS any longer.  I’ll keep stats off to the side just in case, but I can’t imaging […]

Well, the trend continues.  I posted a 15-10 record in the BCS conferences, and, regardless what happens in the last game tonight, I’ll post a sub-.500 week in the non-BCS conferences.
Through week 10, the BCS stands at 107-71 for 60.11%.  A theoretical $110 investment in each game at this point yields a profit of $2,890 […]

Good week in college football.
The BCS finished 14-11 for 56%, 60.13% overall.  Non-BCS conferences finished 15-6 for 71.43%, 47.37% overall.  Good progress on the non-BCS conferences.  If I keep that up I’ll be betting those conferences as well.
Combined, college football was  29-17 for 63.04%, 54.68% overall. The Rutgers game is properly included in the loss […]

I can’t wrap college football week 9 yet because there is a Conference USA game tomorrow night for some reason.  I can, however, report a good week.
Overall, I’m 28-17 with the one game to come.
BCS was  14-11 for 56% (60.13% for the year) and non-BCS was even better at 14-6 with one to play.  The […]

I goofed and took Rutgers +8 when I graded them +11.3.  Oops, found money!
On the other side of the coin, Indiana crushed me.  What the hell with that game?  I really need to stop looking at scores and mentally checking boxes before the games are over.
