Realized a while back that the Tag Line on this site is “Winning at Sports.” Sheen owes us some royalties. On 11/27/09 (older entries), VT had recommended we change the name of the site to “Losing at Sports” during a cold streak for Louis. I can’t believe we missed the obvious that we could have [...]
Coming up on a quarter way through the baseball season. Starting off with 1,000 units. I can make any baseball bet I come across on pinnacle; run line, over/under, prop…whatever. Let’s see what happens. Today we will do… 16 units San Fran -137 money line
Hawks -145 Magic +131 How things stand at the moment going to Game 6 in Atlanta. Didn’t catch the line on this going into last night but it couldn’t have been too different than this since Orlando played at home for Game 5. But that means that Atlanta would have only been like a 2:1 [...]
Going to throw down here a couple of recent bets made… Champions League Finals – Barca vs Man U – Straight up Bet 50 I need the finals of the Champions League to be Barcelona vs Man U. Any other Finals Match-up (i.e. Man U v Real) and Loubaka wins. The obvious thing to hate [...]

Let’s get into it. The contest is to pick 10 teams against the Vegas over/under totals. The #10 is your top confidence pick, with #1 your shakiest. Without further ado… 10) Chicago White Sox (over 85.5) - This pick is more an indication of my disregard for the competition in the AL Central than with [...]
These are the win totals according to pinnacle. For spreads where one side is -120 or higher I will note so accordingly. We will get into analysis, predictions, and occasional reminders of how badly I kicked Lou’s ass in this contest last year in upcoming entries. Atlanta 88 Arizona 72.5 Baltimore 76 Boston 95 (over [...]
Ohio St – much better team this year. Kentucky – much better program historically. Kentucky getting 6 points. These types of games happen all the time. The question is, does the line get skewed in these instances at all since Kentucky is such a storied program or do things pretty much hold to form. If [...]
