    I am a better fade than Brandon Lang......

    Not proud of it, but it seems to be the case. I really just seem to curse any team i bet on and when i hopped on the Lang fade train he went on a win streak. I really just seem to be on the wrong end of all the close games. Last night the examples were Wisconsin walking away as Penn St made a meaningless layup as the buzzer sounded, and the Nuggets blowing a huge lead late and losing in OT to Memphis. Same thing also happened to the 76ers allowing Orlando to score late for a backdoor cover.

    I'm going to start posting my plays here and if i do turn out to be worse than Lang you all can make some $$$$ and call my jinx whatever you wish

    Lots of plays (fades) today:

    Michigan -3.5
    Georgia St -4.5
    Maryland +10.5
    Indiana St -5.5
    Wichita St -4.5
    Rhode Island +3.5
    Akron - 12.5
    St.Bonaventure +10
    St.Joes under 136
    LaSalle over 137
    St.Bonaventure over 123
    Davidson over 140

    4 point teaser Dayton pk and Memphis +7

    NBA

    Washington +10
    Minnesota under 196
    Rockets +5.5
    Clippers -2


    Sorry if any of you are already on these games

    Hard to be a better fade, but I'm listening.

    Probably want to stop playing such a large amount of games. Open yourself up to being 50/50 more times than not.

    makeabuck, hang in there. Your handicapping potential is one of the best I have ever seen. Your luck will change, you have way to much hidden talent.

    I know i play way too many games, trying to cut back but i really liked yesterday's card. I toned it down a little today. In the past i have done it both ways just seem to be on the wrong side with the gambling gods.

    3-6 on thursday so back to normal.Lost Wright St by 0.5pts, old dominion by 1.5, and Eastern Wash by 1 pt. That one was my fault for getting a bad line.

    Record is 14-11-1 for +2.6 units.

    Didn't play friday except for a 5 team parlay that went 3-2. Saturday plays later.

    Thank for the kind wishes but remember even Lang wins sometimes. Hopefully I can continue to do well though.

    (2) Portland +1

    Horrible night (1-7-1) with several bad beats. Lakers led most of the game then collapsed and missed the spread by 1. Same thing with Texas and the Wizards. Washington was up by 15 or more for a lot of the game then gave it away. The worst by far though was that bullshit goaltending call in the Portland game.



    season: 22-23-2 for -2.2 UNITS

    2-4 yesterday for - 3.85 units. Florida absolutely sucked! Number 1 3 point shooting team in the country could hit nothing. Most disappointing loss was the pacers/warriors teaser. Indiana hada big lead the entire 2nd half before only winning by 5 giving my teaser a push/loss.

    season record: 24-27-2 for -6.05 units

    Caught a break in the Akron game both by getting the line at 2.5 and by Akron sucking for 3/4 of the game! I dont know what the hell happened to Arkansas and I was surprised Miami didn't put up a better effort in Orlando.

    Nobody here knows what happened yesterday. By far the worst game I have ever watched as an Arkansas fan.
