1-1 yesterday for a 1/2u loss. Nashville lost in a shootout and the Sharks won easily. Buffalo was not a favorite as I stated yesterday and lost 3-2. Single play tonight and it’s an UNDER, Chicago-Anaheim UNDER 5.5 -120
No NBA games I’m finding to lose small amounts of money on. Good luck tonight.

Penguins were no good yesterday in a 4-0 loss while Brooklyn covered. Two options tonight in a full slate are Nashville and San Jose. I’m going to wait on line moves before posting any plays. San Jose should end as a small favorite and in less likely while Nashville is up to 155-160 in some places. I’ll prefer that price to the 135 open if at all possible.
In mildly interesting news, Buffalo is a -185 favorite away to Edmonton this evening.
UPDATE: Nashville +155 @ St. Louis
UPDATE 2: The Nashville-St. Louis game is nuts. Anaheim @ San Jose -110 for 1/2u

I continued to prove why I should stick to hockey yesterday as Minnesota was a 2-1 winner as was Anaheim who won 4-0. An apology is owed as I spent the snow day drinking and didn’t get Anaheim up and posted before gametime or at all. The other two leaners were one goal losers. Basketball lost by a half point and Nishikori was a straight-up loser.
Two hockey options this evening and neither has started yet! First, Pittsburgh +105 @ Washington is a go for 1/2u and in the late game, the Kings are an option. L.A. will likely be a pass but I’ll update if that changes. 46-48-1 +8.04 for the season to date
NBA because I’m an idiot: Brooklyn +14

Digging out from a snow day here in the northeast. Milwaukee was a giant loser yesterday and Nishikori is still to play this evening. Wawrinka may be nursing an injury hence the play on Kei though it would be a coinflip anyway given recent form. Nishikori is up to -140 at some books.
Hockey is back though the betting options look a bit sparse. I took 1/2u on Minnesota last night at the open at -130 and that turned out to be a good idea as the Wild re up to -155 or -160 away to Edmonton tonight. Florida, Colorado and Anaheim make up the rest of the options for this evening, none of which are confirmed. Updates in a few hours per usual.
Lastly, our college hoops play tonight is Northern Illinois +9.5
January 26
Preparing to get snowed in…
UW-Milwaukee +13 -105
Also some tennis for tomorrow:
Nishikori -122 vs Wawrinka
NBA Sunday
Celtics/Golden State Over 213 (9-1 with Celtics Overs this season)
Also will put that in a teaser with Houston -8 at the Lakers.
Thanks Anthony Johnson, who shipped me a +220 dog yesterday in UFC, for allowing me to speculate wildly on NBA.

3-0 in college hoops yesterday. I’m going to take today off to celebrate. Also nothing looks bettable that’s the real reason.
UFC+ Boxing plays
UFC:
Anthony “Rumble” Johnson +225
Bader vs Davis goes the Distance -270
Boxing:
Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios by Decision +230
Over Rounds -10.5 (-155)
January 24
2-2 in basketball yesterday with the Lakers failing to cover by a point. Doing college today for no reason other than there is no hockey:
Michigan St. @ Nebraska +2.5
Dartmouth +10.5 @ Harvard
Buffalo @ Ohio +2.5
January 23
My basketball plays last night lost by 22 jillion points combined yesterday. I don’t have much faith in today’s plays being much better. I’m clearly turning into Pat with a healthy dose of cynicism attached.
Toronto -12.5 @ Philadelphia
Indiana +2.5 @ Miami
Lakers +13.5 @ San Antonio
Houston +2.5 @ Phoenix
