1) I do not have long term betting experience with soccer, but regardless, this week is the first time I have ever seen a soccer total goals scored line of 3.5. And it seems pretty deserved with Chelsea v Stoke City. This could honestly be Chelsea v X, Drogba looks flat out dominant at the [...]
I had said i would follow up on the last round of World Cup picks I had, and success was mine. If I had been betting One hundred dollars as one unit I finished up 747 bucks.
SF Giants @ Houston Astros (+126) – Two Units
Oswalt has been much better recently, not that he has really been bad at any point. And the Giants have been struggling.
If you bet money based on my World Cup picks last week, whoops. Made five bets and the best result I had was a push. If I had been betting One Hundo a pop on those picks I would be down a smooth 4 bills at this moment. So let’s try to win it back! [...]
Let’s take a look at some upcoming games over today and tomorrow. I will be betting units and keeping track of my payoff/money lost in relation to the lines. Will I finish up money?
France v. Mexico – Draw +215 – One Unit
A couple of teams with not a whole lot going on these days. Both [...]
Marathon Monday is less than two weeks away. Essentially everyone who reads this site knows that I have a substantial amount of money riding on my performance this year. I have given Bones and DaGow 13:1 odds that I will break the four hour mark this year, at 50 and 20 bucks respectively. Intense stuff. [...]
Louis raped Vegas and myself by taking Duke at 15-1, 10-1 and 9-1 (with me) to win the National Championship at different stages before the tournament started. I would never have placed any of those bets, kudos to Louis.
Louis and I have bet a pub crawl, and it should be a pretty good one considering it’s based on an entire season for a whole shitload of teams, on mlb over/unders for the season. You rank team totals on confidence from 1-10. Let’s see what I like.
TEN POINT PICK – SF Giants over 82.5
I [...]
Here we go.
Cornell (+8.5) “@” Kentucky
So apparently whoever the higher seed is, is labeled the home team. This Cornell line is interesting. I actually think it is very accurate, but what makes me like Cornell here is that I feel they have a much higher chance of winning than most 8 to 9 point underdogs. [...]
I think this is the important gambling point I am going to take away from college basketball this year. With most legitimate players having a shelf-life of one to two years, it seems that college basketball programs are more susceptible to year-by-year fluctuations in talent than virtually any other gambling related sport. Consequently, even good [...]
