Maddhatter · 01-04-10, 10:35 AM

Already on VCU and LT. I would lean towards NM St, Hawaii and WKU myself but those are no plays at the moment for me. GL Juice!

Leans for tomorrow

Iowa +16 - This one has all sorts of twists including Iowa missing their 2nd best scorer, but I think 16 points is too much to give any team in a Big 10 showdown.

Minnesota +7.5

S.D. State -3 - A little bird once told me to always take an unranked home favorite over a ranked road dog.

Rhode Island +1/PK -

Dayton/Ball St. OVER 119 looks playable as well as Ball St +17.5 but at this moment I'll stay away. Tomorrow could very well be a no play day for me, except for maybe a little action on the Minn/Purdue contest as I will probably be watching it anyway.

I do like Rhode Island a lot though because Akron's home court is getting a lot of play on the books, yet people fail to realize RI has posted a superior record against FAR superior competition IMO.

Haha. Yeah, I ended up changing my avatar then went on a losing streak. Changed it back and I'm doing ok. So the toilet stays =p.

I'm usually not that superstitious but if I hit a mean losing streak again then.... we'll see.

Maddhatter · 01-05-10, 04:02 AM

Rhode Is more than likely going to be a popular pick. GL Juice on today's card. Gonna start on my own leans and post.

blackberry_juice · 01-05-10, 03:58 PM

Official card for 1/5/10

Rhode Island +1
Minnesota +8.5

These are the only two that I am comfortable playing at the moment, but I may add S.D. State or Iowa later on.

Good luck to all on their plays today.

blackberry_juice · 01-05-10, 10:06 PM

ADDING 3 SMALL plays for tonight. credit to lakerboy on the nba plays.

Blazers/Grizz OVER 199
Suns/Kings OVER 226
New Mexico ML +155 - I know I flip flopped a bit on this game. My head kept saying S.D. State, but my gut wouldn't let me do it. The more I looked into it the more value I saw in the New Mexico ML. New Mexico has more talent and has proved themselves against a higher level of competition this season. The Pac 10 is even worse than last year and all of S.D. State's key matchups that would normally impress me were against Pac 10 squads. I also feel New Mexico has a deeper, more experienced squad and it will show in the final minutes tonight. This is no lock by any means, but New Mexico has been good to me so far this season and I trust they will get the job done tonight. Good luck to all on your picks this evening!

blackberry_juice · 01-06-10, 12:42 AM

Recap for 1/5/10

Rhode Island +1 WINNER
Minn +8.5 LOSER
Suns/Kings OVER 226 LOSER
Grizzlies/Blazers OVER 199 WINNER
New Mexico ML +155 LOSER

Day: 2-3
YTD: 4-6

Tough day, but overall can't complain. I think if that New Mexico game was played 10 times New Mexico would come out on top at least 5 times , but S.D. State wanted it more and they deserved the win.

blackberry not trying to bust your balls my friend but any time you get a ranked team on the road against a unranked team either catchin points or laying a very small number if you go with the ranked team your going to be wrong at least 60% of the time i would think....lobo's was the absolute wrong side in this 1....just telling you this as if you believe you made the right play it would be easy to make the same mistake again moving forward..after all that is really the most important capping tool there is learning from your mistakes

I see what you're saying and I am aware of the "play the home favorite against the ranked road dog" rule. I appreciate your input and I do plan to learn from this game as I go forward. But I know enough about basketball to know that New Mexico could have put this game away in the first half had they cleaned up a few sloppy possessions. However, when you let the home team stay around and get hot bad things are gonna happen as it goes in so many college basketball games. Good call on San Diego State though. Can't argue with money in the bank lol.

Will have my Wednesday leans up in a bit.

blackberry_juice · 01-06-10, 02:06 AM

Leans for 1/6/10

VCU/Drexel UNDER 130: If Drexel is able to keep the home crowd in it and maintain their style of play this game will definitely go under
MSU -6 : if this game was in Madison, would be a different story
WVU/Rutgers OVER 133
William and Mary -6.5 :this line is seriously off IMO, but I guess the books don't think W & M can recover from their last game?
Illinois St -5 : LOVE Illinois State here. LOVE EM
UCONN -7 : Seton Hall, fresh off vacation and a 2OT loss to Va Tech in Cancun, has a cold, cold wakeup call in Storr for them. get it, Storrs?
Northern Iowa +1 : I'll probably only play this depending how my night is going, but theres a reason NIU has earned the praise they have in and around the MVC
UNLV +9: UNLV with almost 2 weeks to prepare for a big time in-conference showdown... also like this game to go under 148.5

What do you guys think?
