After a rough time for me and a heap a debt I left gambling for a break. I got two legitamate jobs and dealt at various card halls for hours. The result, very little sleep, very little social life, a ton of money. Cleared all my debt and have a very small bankroll of only $2,000 each to start with for NFL, CFB, and CBB. Kept one of the jobs to have a steady income, albeit small, and hopefully can go back to being a successful gambler like I was before I picked up the drugs. Thanks for all who gave advice and all those who laughed. In hindsight that was a ridiculous post made by me lol, especially the way things resulted.
Starting Bankroll: $2,000
Detroit +18 (-104) to win $200
Yes, 10% of my bankroll. I feel strongly on this game and 10% is probably the highest I will ever go on a game from now on. California got a lot of pre-season hype and I don't understand why. I have seen the Bears ranked as high as #10 in some publications and I think that is a bit much. This is a ranked team but I think it resides more in the 21-25 range rather then 10-15 range. Cal's biggest problem last year was struggling to grip a new system brought in with Mike Montgomery. From everything I read this year they are much more confident and finally feel like they can run the system successfully for 40 minutes at a time. Last year, they had several games where they seemed to be lost in their own system.
Detroit is a team I have my eye on this year. I think they are going to surprise a lot of people and make a good amount of noise in the Horizon. This is a good match-up for them. Cal has a very exploitable defense. That alone makes it very hard to make an argument for laying 18. Detroit will stay within itself run the offense and play fundamental basketball. They defend the perimter well on the other side of the ball which should limit Cal's #1 ranked 3pt game. Detroit hung tough with a few good teams last year. They lost to Butler twice by less then 5 points so the ability is there. They had a terrible year last year but will make an impression expect Cal to struggle again, maybe they won't keep it as close as they did vs Murray State but I expect this to be an easy cover for me.
California 72, Detroit 61
