ploben,

Wasn't aware you did horses. Congrats on being in the home stretch, I'm settling in on the back stretch neatly tucked along the rail saving ground for that final push to get photoed. No worries, my sons say stuff like that every one and them. Lots of games left and they all need to be `capped carefully for similar results (first half). Second half action begins in about 7 or 8 hours.

Ahhh, come on TA, don't bust my balls. Don't hurt the newbie! It's a long home stretch...fair enough?

Speaking of balls, there is something about that Montreal/TB game that says "Take the home dog" but I'll look like a mental patient opening a thread up about it. If your system picks them tomorrow I am coming for blood

Nah, I don't do that (to often anymore).

Time will tell what gets put into play for today.

[AdaBarber]

Let's go TA. I've been adding a little bankroll over the break. I have come to find that the basketball games I am actually watching are easier to pick the halfs and spread in game. So now I got a little back for tonites action. I will be home by 6:30 to ride you to some heavy on board credit for my honeymoon. Daddy needs his first pair of gators from across the water!

Let's get it!

What do u guys think about Washington over boston

[jaymac82980]

I dont think that boston/washington will go over. these two teams play very well against each other. Washington has Boston's number, and the past two meetings have gone under comfortably. Boston is at home this time, so they have that advantage, but even taking -160 seems a little risky given the series so far.

I like the under in this game. I've been looking at this matchup since Sunday and I can't see Thomas giving up more than 2 tonight. BOS is ready to play and will not be beat in their house. Game might go to OT but I hope not (got BOS EV in regulation).

3-2 Bruins

[jaymac82980]

Ploben, what is "EV". i have seen this written on scattered posts, but I really have no idea what it is short for. All I can think is EVER, but that boston line is -160.

[The General]

Again, great work, TA.

Even money, $11 bet yields a $11 win. As opposed to -110, $11 bet yield a $10 win.

AdaBarber,

Congrats on adding to your BR during the break. If that works for you, more power to you ~ remember, you have to find a way that makes it work for you. No "heavy" action tonight, just a pair of games risking one and two units respectively. Second half begins with tonight's games ... players have had a long time off ... only a fool rushes back in until they get game shape again (now watch me find 10+ plays for Wednesday ).

Good evening jaymac82980,

FWIW, small lean on the under (not even a half-unit). No action on the game, just my opinion. BOL with whatever position you take on the game.

[TodaysAction]

Again, great work, TA.

Thank you General. I know this over 60% won't last forever but it sure feels nice. Appreciate the nice words. BOL the remainder of the season.

[TodaysAction]

Good evening ploben,

Thanks for answering the question whilst I was away.

U r my dude. I know you will. Let's get it rolling. I need to make some good old fashion bookie's cookies out of the jar. I am going to enjoy this cruise with their money. I know you want a key chain with a photo of me catching this killa carp. to the second season! Let's get em.

Heads up. I am leaning Pitt for the SB. Gotta see how Kurt fairs when facing the top 3 defenses. This will determine how I play this one. I'll throw u my 2 cents.

For now its hockey!

A wise person told me to start saving for your children's college education as soon as you can since costs will NEVER decrease. When I was a young father with first child, by the time my boy was 1 I already had $5,000 set aside for his college fund. i bought zero bonds and put the half in short term cds and kept rolling the money over. did that with all of `em and don't have a worry about it now. when they turned 16 we told them about their college fund (not the amount) and told them, we'll cover everything for you as long as you attend working towards a degree and have at least a 2.0 average plus upon graduation, they'd get all remaining funds but if they did not go to college (trade school), they would get the $5 grand as their 21st birthday gift (and we get to keep the balance). set something up for the prince so that will be taken care of and you won't have to worry about it ever again.

i get you wanting to go a cruise, they are fun. then again, we like go cart racing or amusement parks just as much. the price should never determine how much fun something is/isn't. i'll step down. sorry if i went overboard.

crappy results tonight. sure will be glad when teams get their mind and bodies back into the games.

January still looking great TA. 60% with a few more days to go

ploben,

Thank you. Haven't found enough good solid information consistent on the yearly basis for the week following the All-Stat Game. BtW, congrats on have a 60% win rate (6-4 per your siggy). Very impressive indeed.

[ploben]

Thanks buddy. Little run but like you said, long 2nd half to come and I am coming in late with "official picks" but I see a lot of green in our future. A few teams I wrote down in big letter next to my monitor that will make us

[TodaysAction]

Tuesday's action went 0-2-0 and was -$300.

Record for January is 56-38-0.
Money for January is +$2,168.

Overall season to date record is 196-187-2.
Overall money to date is +$27,922.

Wednesday action will be posted later.

[ploben]

60% with a great sample size

May seem weird but I think it's GREAT seeing others win just as much I like to win.

60% with a great sample size

Thank you but that was before tonight's games and even then it's not that large of a sample.

[ploben]

56/(56+38)*100 = 59.57%

94 games? You're right! How dare you post your a % under 100 samples!!!!


Don't short change yourself big guy

EDIT: >59.5% is 60% in my book
