Interesting play. Good luck to you................

SparJMU · 03-07-11, 05:18 PM

Thanks. Don't expect too much from me early on. I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone to blindly follow me, but once playoffs come around you can exepct to make some solid profit if you are on my side.

Season Record:

1 - 0
+1 Unit

SparJMU · 03-08-11, 04:07 PM

Pacers -1 (1.1 to win 1)
Blazers +8.5 (0.55 to win .5)

SparJMU · 03-08-11, 08:14 PM

I can foresee some criticism for chasing here, but I watched the first half of this game and Philly caught some big breaks. I think Indiana is going to make this a ball game.

IND 2H -2.5. 1.1 to win 1.

SparJMU · 03-08-11, 09:28 PM

Gambling is a strange business isn't it. Missed layup with 5 seconds left turns a profitable night into a big loser. Season record 2-2 for -0.7 units.

SparJMU · 03-09-11, 06:10 PM

Philly -1.5. 1.1 to win 1
Hornets +5. 1.1 to win 1
Grizzlies -4. 1.1 to win 1
Kings +9.5. 1.1 to win 1

SparJMU · 03-10-11, 09:07 AM

Amazing how Philly can bite me two nights in a row. Up 5 with 20 seconds left and manage to lose by 5 in OT.

Season Record 4-4
-0.9 Units

SparJMU · 03-10-11, 12:34 PM

Syracuse Orangemen -2.5.
2.2 units to win 2

In the last month St. John's has been one of the best teams in the country. They have beat up on Duke, UConn, and Pitt. However I think they are slowing down now, and they do not match up well against Syracuse, who at one point was a 17-0 team. Cuse hit a few speed bumps over the season, but they are back in top form.

While anything is possible and St. John's could win, I think it's very likely that the Cuse defense dominates and they run away with it.

Vortexx00 · 03-10-11, 12:56 PM

Best of luck with your plays today..

SparJMU · 03-10-11, 04:55 PM

Well Cuse only won by 6, but the defense did what I thought it would. 10 blocks and 13 steals. Not bad.

Betting 1.1 to win 1 on the Lakers -1.5 tonight.

Season record: 5-4 for +1.1 units

SparJMU · 03-11-11, 10:00 AM

Kind of demoralizing to see myself at 5-5 for exactly 0 units through 10 plays, but like I said I am just getting warmed up for the playoffs.

Borat38 · 03-11-11, 10:24 AM

Take PHI ML tonight Spar. BOS is not doing well at all, and that doesn't figure to change vs a clicking Philly team.

SparJMU · 03-11-11, 03:58 PM

I agree Borat. Philly was on my radar.

Half Juice night at a popular square book.

Philly +2. 1.05 to win 1
Pacers PK. 1.05 to win 1
Bulls/Blazers ML Parlay. 1 to win 1 (I realize this is probably a square play, but I think both favorites are peaking right now and I think this play hits more than 50% of the time)

Boston -10. 1.1 to win 1.
Orlando -6. 2.2 to win 2.

SparJMU · 03-21-11, 12:44 PM

Very unfortunate that I decided to weight Orlando as my 2 pointer. 2-1 night but I lose 0.2 units.

Season record 8-11 for -9 units.

SparJMU · 03-21-11, 12:51 PM

Back from a weekend vacation, ready to start winning.

Tonight:

Pacers -3.5. 2.2 units to win 2.
Cavs +12. 2.2 units to win 2.
Kings +15. 1.1 units to win 1.

Betting UConn early. UConn PK SDSt. 3.3 units to win 3.

SparJMU · 03-22-11, 08:05 AM

Nice 2-1 night last night, winning both of the higher rated plays. I wish someone had given me the full story before I bet on the Kings. Apparently the Kings celebrated like it was the NBA Finals when they beat the Bulls earlier in the season, and the Bulls had a huge grudge going into this one.

Season Record:

10-12 for -6.1 units.

SparJMU · 03-22-11, 03:24 PM

Tonight:

4 point teaser (+100) - Atlanta +8.5, Phoenix +11.5
1 unit to win 1 unit

SparJMU · 03-23-11, 08:24 AM

Phoenix covered easy and Atlanta got DESTROYED.

Season Record:
10-13 for -7.1 units.

SparJMU · 03-23-11, 04:37 PM

Cavs +3. 1.1 unit to win 1.
Nuggets -5. 2.2 units to win 2.
Pistons +8.5. 2.2 units to win 2.

SparJMU · 03-24-11, 08:07 AM

Close games all around last night, all ending within 2 points of the spread, including OT for the Cavs. I hate picking an underdog and then losing in OT. I just wish they would lose by a bucket in regulation.

1-2 on the night for -1.3 units.

Season Record:
11-14 for -8.4 units.

SparJMU · 03-24-11, 04:24 PM

BYU +3. 1.1 units to win 1
4 Point Teaser. BYU +7, UNC -0.5. 2 units to win 2.

Easy win with UConn.

How AMAZINGLY frustrating is it when you are betting an underdog +7, they take the game to overtime, and lose by 9? I don't think I have ever been that frustrated by a loss in my entire life.

3 units from UConn. -3.1 units on the two losses. Season Record 12-16 for -8.5 Units.

SparJMU · 03-25-11, 11:19 AM

RIght now I am under the impression Stephen Jackson is not playing, and I am locking this in.

Celtics 1H -7.5. 2.2 units to win 2.

I think this is a good spot to play the Celtics. At home, coming off a very tough loss on Wednesday, and with a little rest. The Celtics weakness right now is in the interior, and there is not much threat from Charlotte to get dominated inside. I prefer the 1H bet in this situation as the Celtics aren't very deep these days and I fear a back door cover. I think the Celtics will come out with greater intensity and build a big lead early.

SparJMU · 03-26-11, 02:23 PM

Dominated the first quarter, thought I had it. Of course not. I can't remember the last time I was this cold, but like I said before, it's all about the playoffs for me.

Season Record: 12-17 for -10.7 units.

SparJMU · 03-26-11, 05:34 PM

Each for 2.2 units to win 2.

Bobcats +4.5
Bucks +5.5
Jazz +6

SparJMU · 03-28-11, 08:07 AM

The regular season continues to go to hell. Maybe I should have just waited for the playoffs.

Season Record: 13-19 for -12.9 units.

SparJMU · 03-31-11, 12:19 PM

Lakers 1st Half -3.5. 1.1 to win 1.

I will likely mess with some in-game/halftime bets in this Lakers game as well.

Locking in Butler a little early. Butler ML (-140). 4.2 units to win 3.

SparJMU · 04-01-11, 07:46 AM

I bet on a team that won by 28 points, yet I managed to lose. Lakers win the first half by 3 and the 2nd half by 25. When it rains, it pours.
