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 […]

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.  […]

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.

I had no play on the Denver/Clippers game.
I’m still finding my way with these NBA moneylines. I started out wagering a flat amount to risk, but looking back at the results, it seems I’d be doing a whole lot better by betting to […]

Yesterday was 1-1, both went to overtime.  Today:
Warriors +292/Cavs -292
Thunder +186/Heat -186
Pacers -656/Jersey +656
Clippers -288/Hornets +288
Suns +455/Rockets -455
Toronto +1167/Denver -1167
Bulls +600/Kings -600
Pistons +186/Lakers -186
These are my lines.  I’m plyaing teams with an edge against the Vegas Line.

I have two bets today - Atlanta at -165 and Milwaukee at -125.  I graded the Charlotte/Orlando game at +950/-950 and have no bet.

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.

After looking over last year’s data a little more closely, I’ve decided to wait until next Monday to start playing/publishing my morning lines.  It took until Week 3 last year for the numbers to start looking reasonable.  There will always be a certain amount of strangeness when numbers are involved, but it should be minimal […]

Two games tonight:
I really think I’ll stick to spreads if they end up working. These money lines come out too late for me.

Cleveland 137 -115 NO
Miami -137 102 YES
Phoenix 195 275 YES
LALakers -195 -335 NO

This is the first week I’m tracking spreads in the NBA on paper.  So far this week I’m 14-10 through tonight, so pretty good start.  If this ATS stuff works out in the NBA I’ll need to figure out a plan for working with spreads and money lines.
Speaking of money lines, how about tonight, eh?  […]

So I got home in time to finish a little work on my line generation machine and popped out a couple late games.  I’m playing these right now:

Well, I finished digesting and analysing data from last year’s NBA games.  I like what I found.  Starting with tomorrow’s games, I’ll release my BrewBrain Custom NBA Money Lines.  Keep in mind these have not been tested against live money line odds yet, so proceed with caution if you choose to incorporate them into your […]

This week starts my paper wagering against NBA spreads.  If I’m showing a theoretical profit against -110 lines after a few weeks, I’ll start publishing my spreads.
Also, I did more work on my NBA money line strategy last night.  I’m now about 3/4 of the way through my analysis of last year’s games.  At this […]

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 […]

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.
