NBA Bonus:
Celtics vs Raptors over 200 (-110)
Celtics Over(s)time
Celtics/Sixers Over 198 (-115)
Hit this 12/13 times last year, including 9 in a row. I expect the Celtics to push the ball and score a lot in their games this year, barring injury (which derailed them in the middle of the year. They trade Rondo and they got better a month later). The Sixers are young and don’t score alot but it’s not like the Celtics defend all that well, either.
Minnesota +3.5 @ LA Lakers (-115)
Flip Saunders, who was supposed to coach this year but resigned due to cancer, unfortunately died earlier this week. He was the only good coach they have ever had (even if, in terms of coaches in general, he was average) and the team was jilted by this; I expect a response especially from Kevin Garnett, who was with Flip early in his career. And the Lakers are fucking awful.
MLB BONUS:
NYM/KC Over 7 (-120)
Bball Future
I have taken the Bulls @ +743 @ 16 to win the Eastern Conference. The Cavs and Hawks are overvalued ludicrously and marginally respectively. When I looked in late February I want to say Chicago was still being priced around +250, so this appears to be good value.
Thirsty Thursday
NCAA:
North Carolina +6
NHL:
VAN v COL UNDER 5 (+125)
PARLAY:
UNC ML +240 and VAN v COL UNDER 5 +650
Good luck in all of your NCAA pools tonight; since most picked UK (I did), it really comes down to getting at least 3 out of 4 of your Final Four right, and the title game right. And if UK loses, then if your team wins you probably cash at some level.
NCAA Sunday
Went 1-6 yesterday ugh….but we did hit 2 on the UFC bets, which salvaged the day.
Here’s what I like:
UVA -4.5 (-105)
KU vs WSU Over 135
Dayton +165
NCAA Saturday
Nice rebound Saturday! Went 9-7, and hit a ML (Dayton) which pretty much broke me back to even, money wise, for this NCAA. Record wise, I am 16-22. Let’s see if we can get to .500 today!
UAB +6
UK -16.5
TEASER: UAB +6 + UK -16.5
Villanova -9.5
Arizona -9
Georgia State +7 (also in parlay with the coach falling off his stool again)
Coach falling out of his chair!! Georgia St. vs. Baylor https://t.co/AjdVPiRANh

UFC (in Brazil, so going with the Brazilian underdog trend):
Jorge “Blade” De Oliveira +160
Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira + 425
Godofredo “Pepey” Pepey +250
Rise and Fire, pt 2
First of all, what a great day yesterday in basketball. Great games all around; really helped taking the beating I took yesterday not seem as bad. 7-13 overall this NCAA after starting 0-7. Like the many comebacks in this tournament, I feel a run coming on today!
We did have VCU, celebrating like these folks in Vegas after a meaningless layup at the buzzer (alas, my Cincy/Purdue under got reverse miracle covered):

I am 0-4 so far betting on the tournament – let’s try to keep the streak alive!
LOL at the NCAA’s campaign “Don’t Bet on It”….um dudes, that’s why this tournament makes a billion dollars a year. And also, how did I found out about the NCAA’s campaign? While filling out a bracket on CBS Sports……you know, stuff that every office in America is GAMBLING on. What a joke.
As I have mentioned, betting every game of the 1st round. I like two of these for more than the usual units: CIN/PUR UNDER 118 and WOFFORD ML +275
Onions….with a double order coming tomorrow:
Eastern Washington +7.5
Wofford +275
North Carolina State -2
Harvard +10.5
Notre Dame -12.5
Purdue v Cincinnati Under 118
Villanova -22 (started at -23)
Texas Southern +23.5
VCU +4
Xavier -3
Butler +1.5
SMU -4
Baylor -9
UAB vs Iowa State OVER 148
Stephen F. Austin +235
Hampton +20.5 1H
Update: Bloodbath to start day at 0-7, but have recovered for a 3-8 stand with a VCU sweat tha tended in a wonderful miracle cover at the buzzer 75-72. The SMU call KILLED us.
NHL:
Arizona +145
PARLAY: ARI +145 & WIN +110 @ +415
NCAA Tonight
North Florida -3.5
TEASER: N.FL -3.5 and Dayton -4 (they are at home lol)
0-2 so far….but you have to show some onions to keep firing.
