March 26
One of our subtle enjoyments here at miracle Covers is betting on failure, and we’re happily getting the opportunity to be involved in some crappy NHL games tonight. In tankapolooza, we have Arizona visiting Buffalo and we are taking UNDER 5 +105 and in another relatively crap game, Colorado @ Vancouver UNDER 5 +120, both for 1/2u. Good luck to all tonight.
March 25
No plays yesterday and nothing again today as we wind down the season. Lots of games that would be plays are excluded here in March as non-playoff contending underdog teams are comparatively weaker in a lot of matchups this time of year. We are trying to pick our spots but it’s been sparse the past few weeks. Or coinflip on Colorado was a loser on Monday 3-2.
Hopefully some action tomorrow.
March 23
Back with some hockey plays tonight. Thanks to Sean for running things with a correct sport the past few days. We have a weighted coinflip in Calgary as Colorado visits getting +120. I have this as a 50:50 game so feel free to scale your own wager accordingly. Devils and Hurricanes are options for sadists, of which I am not.
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)

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):

March 19
I am clearly a secret Canadian, posting about hockey in March instead of being a proper American and delving into the NCAA tournament in all its glory. Some actual plays tonight breaking a lengthy streak of zeroes:
All 1/2u plays:
Detroit @ Florida -110
St. Louis/Winnipeg UNDER 5 -105
Colorado @ Arizona +145
Rise and Fire, pt 1
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.
NBA:
Celtics +7.5 (at OKC – Celts been the hottest team in the NBA this month!)

St Patrick’s Picks
Ah yes, the start of the NCAA Tournament; by far my favorite betting time during the year. The first 2 rounds are by far some of the best, most exciting sports around (even if the NCAA exploits the shit out of these athletes).
I also love betting the round of 68; I’ve actually batted over 60% on these games over the years they’ve gone on. I love the fact I’ll be betting on games that no one will be watching.
Manhattan -9
TEASER: Manhattan -9 and Ole Miss +4
I’ll also be placing 2 units each on some type of total, line, or ML for every game of the 1st Round. I’ll also highlight some of my likes that I’ll be betting stronger on as well. Those picks start on Thursday.
Happy drinking.
