i will now quote The Kinks as i feel this is an appropriate spot, "paranoia will destroy ya"I was 3-0 in college until cecil 127 asked me about two games, I looked into them, and decided to bet $50 on each, lost both, badly. I think he was setting me up for trap games, and I shoulda known not to trust him, never again.
so i guess i made you bet 2 games that i merely asked your opinion on?
dude, those were close games, thus i asked your expert opinion. there was the option of "no play" as i took fearing these were too close to call....and they were-and i dont know jack about roundball.
a lil self control can sometimes be a handicappers best friend.
yea, you're better off keeping those bball picks to yourself if your going to blame others for your loses.(+ i can always have one of my "insiders"(first time claiming to have such folks and i must admit, its nice) pm them to me if i so desire)
temple again today for me.
*for added enjoyment im now using the voice of Stewie to read your posts. most enjoyable
especially post #57-pure classic. keep up the good work canman and you'll be listed in my sig in no time

good morning all,
You know I am just playing cecil127, like you.
The bad news is that I found someone else more whacked than you to play with for now.
I did take Chi, det ml, bos/mon over, and ott +1 as my upset.
I though it best not to post my College BB here for a number of reasons, but the main one is that this is a hockey forum.
if anyone cares, temple, UTEP and Ohio state.Comment -
gonna throw some of my college bb winnings, 4-2, on the canes today as they seem to match up well with phox.
And edm +1 in the battle for the worst team in hockey.
And NJ, phew. Hopefully over early as going to the nucks game.
also took uwv -2 in BBComment -
i went with kansas -6.
really liking utah st. -10 later on.
your thoughts?
dont worry about talking ncaa here in the hockey forum. there's a thread in here that contains strictly nbs picks as well
we like to consider this forum a well rounded one
watch any sulkies from the meadowlands, do ya? i got a nice selection for the pick 4 in race 6 tonight although the wind and slop may play a huge factor tonight.
i know temple won but how about utep and ohio st?
*i see you posted as i was typing....i noticed you took wv. i was leaning georgetown but backed away pulling the trigger on the kansas game instead. gl
Comment -
ohio state won and covered 7 to win by eight in double OT.
UTEP blew a 7 point lead with 4 minutes or so left to lose by 8.
gotta watch out for the teams that are already in, less motivated.
Took canes and habs tonight too
No ponies here, unless I am there at the track.
WAC is whacked, Utah is playing to get in, so looks safe, I'm out.
Off to para-olympics with wife, god help me, in exchange for nucks game with boys.
tomorrow, all!

terrible nhl night, 1-6. some goalies stood on their heads last night.
won a lot a money this week, spreaded it around rather than increase the size of my bets. bad money management.
The good news was that I went in college BB saturday.
Way off on vancouver, which I went to last night. I never considered how electric the crowd would be, especially the second. It was hard not to cheer against my own bet.
Today, I took nucks, as it will be crazy again, sharks and minny. I also took chi, but l woke up after the first, happy.
Took GT +8, temple -3 and ohio state -4Comment -
2-1 yesterday, and good profit as I doubled up on the nucks after going 3-0 in college BB.
Chi blew the game for a push. As I mentioned a while back, I am only playing regulation, unless stated, after some sad OT efforts lately by teams.
A good week, even though saturday was a wash, as I got side-tracked by college basketball. I hope some of you were following my BB picks as I went 17-6 this tourney, and it all begins again next weekend.
Today I am taking NJ as they have found their offence, despite dominateing with danis in net saturday, and losing. Brodeur will play at home against a boston team losing 3 of the last 4. pinacle -.5 regulation +107
Calgary looked good enough to beat vancouver yesterday, after the first period. I don't usually bet on any team to win going into calgary, but this is for a playoff spot, and B2B with detroit looking to avenge an earlier lose to calgary this week. Was calgary tooking ahead yesterday, doesnt matter as detroit is hungrier. I took detroit -102.
The third game has Edm and jackets, but no odds yet as nash and huselius are questioable. Obviously jackets win if they are healthy, but the odds will decide if i stay away. Stay tuned!
Good news, I am 5-0 in POD and in the profit land. Dont look now, cecil127.
Let's rip the bookies another.Comment -
3-0 today, but I didn't get to post my columbus play until the last moment as work was crazy, so I guess 2-0 for those .........
Also 3-0 in the NBA. Great way to start the week.
6-0 in POD, play of the day. one more, I am a must tail, or something like that.
Earky tuesday leans, vancouver ML, carolina and TB.
Maybe others when odds posted.
Back tomorrow with the big POD, and my picks.
Thoughts?Comment -
On a roll, Mr. Canada! I appreciate your thoughts and you have talked me into a couple of plays that were winners. Keep up the good work.Comment -
I laid funds on, carolina and TB, and will on Vancouver when -1 opens up. It should be about -140-145.Originally posted by Canada
Vancouver -1.5 will be my POD!
I'll try to get back later to explain why these are my picks.Comment -
Originally posted by Canada
I am taking Vancouver -1.5 because -1 is -171, and I am more confident about Vancouver winning by 2 than any other team winning by one tonight.
I also took nashville, NBA , NCAA and MLB as I gotta play max this hot streak.
Busy day, gotta run!
BOLComment -
Impressive run to start your SBR career. Keep it up
Comment -
the POD streak has ended at 6-1, no must tail here. Work distracted me yesterday, and it cost me. I didnt like any game yesterday really. Luckily I took nashville, overtime by mistake. I hope all of you had some luck as I went 1-3 in the NHL.I still managed to win $94 dollars yesterday on the NBA/NCAA as teasers are my new toy these days. You can tease the lakers and suns down to 1 and 5, too easy.
In retrospect, I should have seen it commin! I thought it would have come earlier, but the nucks could have won by two if the refs didnt give NYI phantom calls, and let NYI intefere and obstruck whenever they wanted. That fourth goal was goalie interferance. A couple of Vancouver powerplays would have helped. Cuddos to anyone who bet on NYI.
I also took a spring training MLB underdog game for kicks. Good underdog odds, and they often win. It's like flipping a coin, but at +130 or so. There is some strategy, so there is money to be made. 4-2 this year.
Today looks like a good day with only 3 games to study. I bet NJ -135, Calgary +102, and Ducks +129. gotta bounce, BOLComment -
Another 3-0 day this week!
8-1 the last three days!
Now 7-1 in POD.
I hope someone is tailing me.
Another 2-0 in NBA, and 1-0 in NCAA. Do they have hockey teasers anywhere?
The only loss was on MLB after I got some "Inside Info"
Back tommorow with thee more best bets.Comment -
your mention of the mlb pick got me laying some chingy down on my Phils over the yankees earlier today. hate the yanks, love the phils-esp @ +$ and they way they've been playing i figured i might as well hop on for 9 innings-thanks for the nudge sorry about your mlb inside info.
i agreed with the nhl picks but parlayed the devs and under with the flames and under along with the ducks. after that ticket chit the bed due to the devs going over i placed one more using the flames, flames under 5.5 and the ducks~7.5:1
add that to the ncaa parlay i hit(prince/app/ill) tonight and its been quite the day for me too....for once
keep up the good work and il try to do the same.
i like byu/rich/tenn for tomorrow. also liking baylor but not the 11 pts they're giving sam houston.
any leans you'd care to share for the big dance always appreciated.Comment -
Bet ML on ottawa, NYR and NJ tonight.Originally posted by Canada
March Madness is here!
There are some teams I like, but with trap lines.
I took ND -2, Tenn -3, butler -1 and north iowa +1.
BOLComment -
nice picks , good payday yesterday
Comment -
Yesterday I took a shot with -/+ .5 in regulation as I was on the wrong side of 5 overtimes last week. Something is wrong with OT at this pont in the season as teams are playing too conservative.
I agree with the person who said teams should get 3 points for a win. 2 for an overtime win and 1 point for an overtime loss. There would be a lot more motivation to play a 60 minute game. Even zero for an overtime loss would work.
I was 2-1 yesterday with detroit and Ottawa. The other game saw LA win in OT after colorado scored with seven seconds left, but I lost. There is a lot of late goals lately, and I wonder if LA would have played differently if they knew they could get zero if they gave up a late goal.
If I had just played the three teams straight up, I would have won all 3. But I want to try my theory again so I put $110 on NJ -.5 regulation -115, vancouver -.5 regulation -135 and SJ -.5 -115.
It's a little more challenging to pick these kinds of games, but it's a little cheaper to play than straight up, unless you take the underdog +.5. let's see what happens!
Comment -
It worked again.
I went 2-1 on favorites, and won morey money going -.5 regulation than straight up.
NJ and SJ paid better at -.5 and Vancouver lost less going -.5. WIn-Win
It's a bit more of a gamble this way, but I keep losing in OT anyways.Comment -
The choices today are unlikely underdogs, expesive favorites or - .5 regulation.
-.5 regulation detroit -104, buffalo +104 and rangers +114
The past two days have worked, here's to today!Comment -
GL Canada I am with u on the Detroit play!Comment -
GL... on the buffalo play... kind of going back on forth on the STL/DET game... tough one with STL on the roadComment -
2 out of 3 aint bad, with detroit and NYR winning, and losing on buffalo, which was a foolish bet really as montreal and buffalo often hit OT.
I also took van -.5 regulation at -111.Comment -
I employed this strategy tonight and lost on the Caps (should have known better in that series and I put too much stock in the Pens' scratches), and won on Detroit with Colorado pending. I should have written down the odds to see how how much better I would have turned out had I played all 3 straight up on the ML, but I think long run betting regulation will earn/save more money than I lose by having a team win in OT. It does seem to me that I lose a lot more in OT than I win, but that might be my imagination since losses linger longer than victories in the mind.
Anyway, I like your thought process on this. Seems like a good play this time of year.Comment -
1-2 (thanks to 2 very late goals), would have been 3-0 had I gone straight ML. I normally lose in extra time so tonight I take OT out of the equation to save some juice and lose 2 games that I would have won.Originally posted by Jive
FML. I don't give a fuk what I do it turns out the opposite way. ALL the time.

I hope you saved some money by not paying so much juice.
Late goals are plentiful this time of the year, and I don't see any way for us to protect ourselves. I would have went 4-0 yesterday if I went straight up to.
3-1 is okay to live with as I didn't have to risk so much, but I should have know montreal and buffalo would go to OT, they often go to OT.Comment -
Went 3-1 yesterday, but could have gone 4-1 if I went straight up. In retrospect, Buff/Mon was labeled OT.
7-3 the last three days, and I won more on most of the winners, and lost less on the losers.
I think play -1 with OT would result in a lot of pushes, but 3-0 -1 yesterday.
I think it is best to play -5 regulation on games that have high stright up juice.
Today I will keep trying -.5 regulation with NJ -112, SJ -135 and cal +114.
Also thinking chicago -.5 +105, and nash and stl straight up, but for y money, college bb is safer than any nhl game today.Comment -

Wednesday, 6 home favorites win.
Thursday, well you know. I hope this helped
1-2 on my posted play, and 2-1 on the leans that I played, and 2-2 in BB(frackin OT game cost me the under, cuse, refs......)Originally posted by Canada
5-5 night paying the book juice, but not much as the three hockey losses were -.5 regulation.
This happens at the end of the year in every sport. The last two weeks of college ball were crazy too.
It's time to play less games, and choose wisely or play the underdogs. I will do both!
Friday, my best and only play is buffalo -.5 regulation.
Detroit -1.5 and Ana look good, but college BB looks safer.
low college BB totals tonight, and I hate overs. so gonna play spread ohio st -4, n. iowa +1, baylor-4 and maybe duke -8Comment
