January 6
A nothing day yesterday and close to a nothing day again today. San Jose +125 @ Minnesota is our only play.
Saturday
More bowl game winners yesterday pushing our record for the season to 17-7 +12.32 with two games remaining. We ended up 4-0 on our 2u plays of which UCLA was one along with South Carolina, Bowling Green and Texas A&M. Hockey has been a waste of time to date with two losses and a pass on a winner taking the season record to 34-42-1 good for a sad +0.23. NFL regular season finished up at 16-15 +4.35.
I don’t like either playoff game today, but I do have a preference on both the Bungles and Lions tomorrow getting at least 3.5 and 7 respectively. For anyone looking to take Carolina today, you should be able to get 5.5 as Arizona is getting bet down any time the line pops up to 6.
Lastly, there should be some NHL plays today: Nashville early and New Jersey, Minnesota and San Jose later on make up today’s shortlist.
UPDATE 1: Nashville +110 @ Los Angeles
January 2
2-0 to start the year, updates on season totals coming soon. One confirmed play of several tonight: UCLA -105 in the whatever bowl we are on Bowl.
I feel like I bet on the Devils (Now under new management!) at least once a week:
Florida @ Buffalo +125
Montreal @ New Jersey +125
I am passing by the slightest of margins on Carolina at home to the Flyers. Oilers are on the probable list to complete the shit team trifecta. I have OK St. on the shortlist also for tackle football in the late game.
UPDATE: I can’t get out of my own way in hockey. Late play is Oklahoma St +7
Day 1
A mixed year-end yesterday as we went 1-1 in tackle football and 0-1 in hockey. Despite five bowl games today, it’s shaping up as being a quiet afternoon. Michigan St. will likely be our only play there. The winter classic is also this afternoon and I like the under 5.5 between Washington and Chicago, but the high juice will likely keep this as a 1/2 unit bet at most.
Plays to be posted once confirmed.
For Today:
Michigan St. +3 -115
Chicago/Washington UNDER 5.5 -130 1/2u
NYE
The amateur football games are getting better but the bet quality is not as its much easier to pick a side when the public is clearly on one team over another. Two plays today:
Mississippi +3.5 and Boise +3
Apologies about the NBA play yesterday as Cleveland moved to 8 and pushed with Lebron out.
UPDATE: Mississippi got smushed 42-3. NHL play this afternoon Florida +140. I’ve got nothing on GA Tech/Miss St.
Happy New Year.
Tuesday
We had a 2-1 day in both hockey and tackle football as our early plays were all winners and the late games were not close. Again with the unorthodox scheduling today so getting the early game up now while I have some time:
Notre Dame +8
We have leans on both of the other underdogs today, Louisville and Maryland, though no idea whether they will be plays or not.
UPDATE: Passing on Louisville/UGA and firmly on the fence for Maryland tonight. Two confirmed plays in other sports. NHL Kings/Oilers UNDER 5 +120 and NBA because I’m an idiot Cleveland +4.5 @ Atlanta (now down to +4).
Monday
We had a nothing day in NFL action and went 0-1 in hockey as Vancouver lost in OT. There should be some more plays there this evening as well as in college football where we are starting our day with a 2u play on Texas A&M +2.5. Updates throughout the day but I think the next game is at 5 Eastern.
UPDATE 1: Late action Clemson +6.5
UPDATE 2: Texas A&M a winner in the early game. Some NHL:
Pittsburgh @ New Jersey +135
Montreal -130 @ Carolina
UPDATE 3: Texas +7 Evens
Avalanche +161
NFL Week 17
Looks like crap for betting purposes. Titans are easily the best game on the list today and that’s not saying much. We’ll see if they get up to 9 or something before gametime. Chicago/Minnesota Over has been pushed out of range and I’m not overly excited about SD/KC over 41.
Yesterday was excellent as we went 5-0 in bowl games, 1-0 on NBA and 1-1 in hockey. NBA should have been 2-0 as I completely forgot to play Indiana who won very easily over Brooklyn. Otherwise a near perfect day. Bowl games are 10-5 +5.47 and could be even better. Just as a heads up the percentage of plays will decrease as the teams participating become more popular. I do not have anything on OSU-Alabama or Michigan St.-Baylor as examples.
Florida and Vancouver are our options in hockey today. Updates per usual in the afternoon
UPDATE: NHL Vancouver +115 @ Anaheim
Saturday
2-1 in our Boxing Day action with no close calls to speak of. Forging ahead with a full schedule today. Will likely update with hockey and basketball tonight:
Va Tech +2.5 -110
Duke +7.5 -106
South Carolina +3.5 -111 2u
Penn State +3 -105
Nebraska +7 +100
NHL: Detroit -129 @ Ottawa
Dallas is an option for those feeling adventurous but barring some significant line move I will be passing.
UPDATE: NBA Atlanta -4 @ Milwaukee
I attended Milwaukee @ Atlanta last night where the Hawks were favored by 8 or 9 and promptly lost by 30. Kyle Korver was reduced to shooting layups from 2 feet during timeouts to prove to himself he was able to get the orange ball through the orange rim. Playing Atlanta tonight because it would be very NBA-like for them to cover last night’s spread tonight instead.
UPDATE 2: San Jose +130 for 1/2u
Tuesday
0-2 yesterday as both our plays lost by alot alot. I would have played Florida who won in a shootout but was out Christmas shopping. Only one game on our list today and it’s a go: Carolina +132 @ New Jersey
One bowl game since I missed the early one which had the temerity to kickoff at 6:00pm: Navy +3.5 -112
