My plays for tonight

brewbrain — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:54:31 +0000

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 good day in the NBA, but I’ve scaled back my wager size significantly. The winning percentages for favorites v. dogs has not fallen into line with last year’s numbers, and I’m losing. Something to keep an eye on.

NFL Week 12 Wrap

brewbrain — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:39:39 +0000

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.

NBA 11/30/09

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.

College Football Week 13 Wrap

brewbrain — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:29:57 +0000

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

NBA Wrap - 11/27/09

brewbrain — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:39:24 +0000

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.

NBA additions tonight

brewbrain — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:55:23 +0000

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….

And so I’m not allowed to complain

brewbrain — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:05:53 +0000

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.
