BrewBrain Sports Investing

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 […]

Another successful week that was very disappointing.  I finished 9-7 after sweeping the morning games Sunday.  Threw up almost an airball in later games and Monday night, costing me a pool I’m in.
Overall, 96-80 for 54.55%.  So far so good.

As always, for blogging purposes, I’ll be tracking against the ESPN Pigskin Pick’em game spreads. Real money goes on favorable spreads I can get at -115 or better.

This is the worst 10-6 week I’ve ever had.  After the morning games yesterday, I had 9 wins.  Of all things, the Raiders came in for my only additional winner on the weekend.  Worse, I ended up with real dough on the Bengals.  It was a close spread and I’ll likely just pass on those […]

Here are my custom spreads for the NFL this weekend. Visitor spread is shown. As always, I’m playing games I can get a favorable spread at -115 or better.  ESPN’s Pigskin Pick’em game lines are used for blog tracking purposes.  They are roughly equal to Tuesday lines I think, which is when I […]

For the week I recovered nicely with 8-5 for 61.54%.  This brings my total for the season to 71-58 for 55.04%.  Theoretical $110 bets on each game profits $720 to this point.

So Dallas pulled out the 8th win for me.  Now I’ll have a very good NFL week following last week’s disaster.  If the Broncos can win tonight that’ll really bring home the bacon.  Plus, it’ll prove the Broncos are for real.  For whatever reason, I just haven’t been able to take that leap quite yet.

Detroit reminds me why the smart play would be to place my bets and go someplace without web access until late Sunday night.  What a damn kick in the nether regions the past couple weeks.  First Indiana last week, now the freakin’ Lions.  This game is hard enough without that sort of crap.  Now instead […]

Well, the Falcons are in the process of losing by 11, which is a loss for me everywhere.
This game brings me to a whopping 3-10 for the week, for 23.08%.  Last year, I never had a weekly percentage in the 20’s.  This year I’ve got two already.  Absolutely brutal.  That said, I’m still showing a […]
