Refers to the Head Coach of a team reaming his players out publicly. Bill Self does this last night after Kansas struggles to beat Long Beach St by 8 at home. Self slams his team (primarily the guard play) for their inability to control the ball. How his college-aged players react to being blasted out [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Merry Christmas everybody! Been away for a while as I had some login issues, traveled to Vegas, and was crowned a drinking champion along with Jaguars LB Eric Alexander. I’ve also been logging my bets on: http://www.twitter.com/seanismoney Follow me there for daily bets, quips, and intelligent thoughts that are 160 characters or less. I’ve been [...]
For those of you interested the Matrix site was wrong with its Wash St pick. I opted not to bet with the site before the game. The runners of the site note that they tend to struggle more during the early parts of the year because the formula they use relies heavily on current year game results, [...]
First things first on a few issues. The random Matrix web site hit the money with the Samford pick. Well done! So I won 15 bucks betting against a team that up until yesterday I didn’t know had a Division I program. People might call that a little nutty to be betting money on something like [...]
Continuing project from a few days ago. Going back to the results of the first set of games we picked…Illinois 73 Yale 47, UTEP 73 New Mexico St 56, Santa Clara 87 N Colorado 84, Kentucky 74 Washington 67, Texas Tech 103 Georgia Southern 79, UC Davis 61 Sacramento St 54. Home team is in [...]
New project. I am going to take half a dozen games chosen at random from college b-ball, note the line, and note how far off Vegas was. I am just curious enough to do this, let’s get this started and hope I don’t puss out on this after a day or two. I’ll include games [...]
I went to the site today because I thought Allen had said that he had posted about a big 4 or 5 team teaser he had and hit last week, and I was going to rank on him for backposting on kooky bets he places that actually hit. How often do you see someone making [...]
