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 […]

Yesterday went well with both Milwaukee and Golden State winning.  Philly almost pulled it out against the Mavs.  +62.55% on the day.
Today:
1-Dec BB ML
Washington 450
Toronto -450
Boston 128
Charlotte -128
Phoenix -450
NewYork 450
GoldenState 1300

Miami 450
Portland -450
NewOrleans 1100
LALakers -1100
I have Toronto, Charlotte, Phoenix and Portland.

Sorry, forgot to grab my numbers this morning, but I at least know the teams I’m playing:
Money Lines - Milwaukee, Philly, Golden State.
Results yesterday were essentially a push.  I think I lost a couple bucks.   I’m glad that week is over.

Well, yesterday wansn’t supposed to be a huge day with 4 dogs and a favorite, but I took a -100%.  Oh well, on to today:
29-Nov BB ML
Atlanta 145
Detroit -145
Phoenix 145
Toronto -145

I need to turn this brutal week around.

Here’s today’s custom lines:
28-Nov BB ML
Dallas 100
Cleveland 100
Charlotte 500
Washington -500
Orlando 179
Milwaukee -179
Portland -130
Utah 130
LALakers 542
GoldenState -542
I’ve got Dallas, Washington, Milwaukee, Portland and Golden State. Hopefully Portland will remember they have a game today.

Yuck.
Both of my heavy favorites lost today.  I predicted I’d have a big favorite go down soon, but I didn’t need it to happen like this.
Winners: Charlotte, Dallas, Sacramento.
Losers: Miami, Houston, Portland
3-3, but the wrong games hit. -63.36% on the day.
There is always tomorrow. 5 games on the slate.

I added Dallas and Portland as plays tonight after deciding I should go as low as 5% edge.  That’s roughly the edge I have so far in football, so I’ll take it in baskets as well.
Portland is a HUGE outlay for me at -900ish, but numbes is numbers….

Well, I hope this is not a sign of things to come.  Out of the 12 NBA games today, I found value in the money lines in only four of them.  Here ya go:

Lovely second half by the Hawks tonight.  Puke City, USA.  They should be denied turkey dinner.  Gross.  Just gross.
So, let’s see.  They took a 12 point lead into the locker room and got blown out in the game by 17.  They scored 25 points in the second half.  Good job boys.
Luckily, I’ve played about 1.75 […]

Turkey Day basketball.  My custom money lines:
26-Nov ML Need
Orlando 281
Atlanta -281
Chicago 281
Utah -281
Both games have the same line. I have Atlanta. No value in the other game.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Pulled out a winner in the end, making for a very nice day.  While Milwaukee appeared to blow their game (judging from watching scores tick on my computer screen), Miami pulled out a very nice dog winner for me.  Philadelphia gave a hint of hope as well.
In the end, I finished +21.29% on the day.  […]

Well, well, well.  It looks like I may just have something cooking with the NBA.  Even with my early week screwing around trying to figure out how to bet my numbers and getting pounded for it, I managed to squeak out a nifty little 2.9% net win on the week’s wagers.  I’m absolutely thrilled!  Even […]

An excellent day that could have been a huge home run.  I had two dogs get very close - Detroit took Utah to overtime and Philly blew a 6-pt lead after three by scoring a whopping 10 points in the final quarter.  Even so, I more than covered for my dismal college football showing today.  […]
