2012 NCAA Football with John Ryan

[John Ryan]

I have a 20* OVER for the Washington-Stanford game OVER 48 1/2 -105

I will also risk a 5* play on Washington +6 1/2 -110

BOL. Appreciate feedback. Having some dinner here on the East Coast should be back no later than 10:00 PM ET for an update and possible second half play. Nervous.. have to admit.. but my methodology has proven to be successful for so many years that the nervousness goes away when I remind myself of the work behind these plays and the fact it is a long season.

[Pickma$ter]

John for being sharp you got horrible line at 6.5.

[CapperGuy]

Lines already jumped back up to 7 at LVH and Caesars properties, BOL! I locked in on the Stanford ML -250 hopefully we can both cash tonight.

I'm liking the under but good luck tonight.

Loser...

Your article, write-up couldn't be more Wrong !! No offensive shoot-out from Washington, no offensive efficency from Stanford.

Over... You're a f...ING LOSER .. and your insights on this game are soooo far off.
What do you write now, it's the computer's fault...

[curtrambus]

The thing that bugs me is how are you nervous about a 20* play? If you mark a play as 20* it should be all but garenteed.

[cantpickem]

No guarantees in this game. We do the best we can in everything we do in this world. John does OK for himself and I've done really well following him. Please continue.

yep. that was Poor to say the least. Let's look to tonight's game.

[John Ryan]

Going with BYU -25 for a 5* play. What do you all think?

I think BYU will focus squarely on the defensive end and my sim shows a high probability that Hawaii will fail to score more than 14 points. I like BYU tonight.

What are you all seeing on the Saturday card.. Looks like some possible upsets again. Call me crazy if you want, but I have a play on kentucky and I have a gut feel they may win the game. Yes, that is a long shot, but every season I have at least one 20+ point dog win SU.. This may be one of them, but at the bery least I feel strongly that kentucky covers ATS easily.

[hrgonz0]

The words "kentucky covers ATS easily" do not go together unless you are talking basketball. They may cover but it wont be easily.

[John Ryan]

10 star Kentucky +20
10 star Wisconsin +12
10 star Louisiana tech -3 1/2
10 star Texas San Antonio -1 1/2
5 star Louisville -10 1/2
5 star Washington State +31
10* Michigan State -2

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but my 20* record in Football is not matched by any, if any, that place them on a public media hours and days before game time. My analysis is how I see the game. You disagreed and that is what makes markets. That is books have even action on nearly every game, because there are people who have far differing opinions and they can be at times polar opposites.

Keep Up The Good Work

John- Don't listen to this moron. We all know you can't be right all of the time, and sometimes you may be way off, but more times than not you are spot on and have continued to help me make money. I have followed you since late last year and continue to appreciate your opinions and insight.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

BOL today, I am right there with you on most of your picks!

[drew2]

john great work

[O]

Nice roll keep em coming.....

[John Ryan]

Thanks for all of the kind words. A solid day for sure. Could have been better and I will always aim to do so. That is what you get at my threads. Honest, wide-open picks that you can take advantage of and include in your handicapping arsenal.

Cannot believe WVU 70-63 game though. That is just unreal.

[John Ryan]

john great work

Thank you.. wish Kentucky would have held on after playing such a fantastic first half.

[John Ryan]

Nice roll keep em coming.....

Thanks and will get the record updated. We did have a fellow poster that created a beautiful spreadsheet of the plays released.

[Tanko]

Really appreciate your write ups and this thread.

[John Ryan]

No plays for the Thursday Night College Football card. Remember that not making a play is always preferred to forcing a play just for the action... Just enjoy the games and we will see you all Friday morning.

[John Ryan]

Upgrading Northwestern to a 10*.

10* Miami (FL) +14
10* Northwestern +3 -110
10* Nebraska +3 -110

20* Texas is also an upgrade from the article. - 7 1/2 -110

be back at Noon..

[frostie]

what line are you saying these are all 10* on?

[stone cold locks]

Northwestern loss was unreal. how do they give up 22 points in the last 9 minutes of the game. You're on a bad streak JR.

[JJJ]

[my6sen]

This is sucking thread I ever seen

[stone cold locks]

John, I'm still following, but you are cold as ice right now.

[alexknyc]

Based solely on the picks in this thread:

Last four weeks: 12-14 -93.50 units

Ouch.

[alexknyc]

Based solely on the picks in this thread:

20-20-1 -47 units

Rechecked my math

20-20-1 -44 units

Last 4 weeks: 12-14 -90.50 units

Still ouch.

[TLAC]

Can you please post some Saturday plays, if you get a chance tonight? I won't have a chance to be around at the last minute tomorrow. Thanks.

[John Ryan]

ok.. I will also double check the track record to date. Remember this is a long marathon and we are just at the half way point. The past three years have been big time winning seasons and my bowl games last year were red hot. Proof is in the text written.

So, I am going to split this CFB day into thirds. This will be the games taking us through games starting at 3:30 PM ET. Than I will be back between 3:15 and 4:00 ET to give you the remainder of the card. This way we can stagger the betting flows and see how we are doing, but the early results will have no impact on how I could play the evening games right now.

10* Minnesota + 3 1/2 -110 - I did a video on these three games. Noon ET start
10* Iowa State + 6 -110 Noon ET.
10* Texas Tech + 4 1/2 -110 3:30 PM ET.

Round Robin Parlay with those three teams using the money lines of Minnesota +145, Iowa State + +190, and TT + 160

I will be releasing a 20* later this afternoon. So, given the large number of games, at least by my standards, I will be back mid-afternoon..

Best of luck to everyone. and would appreciate your thoughts on my selections and some of the games you see as big opportunities.
