    My picks for the week, and also important questions regarding method...

    Lets start this week off right with some 's and lets avoid as many 's as possible

    Towson ML -160
    UNC +1 and ML +100
    Weber St. -3 and ML -160

    That's what I have for Monday.

    Insight that I need is if fellow bettors frown upon or also utilize the ATS and ML wager on the same game? Is it better to chose just one? You can look at it two ways I suppose...choosing one could cost you an opportunity on the other, or choosing both can burn your pockets much quicker. So any insight, or criteria used would be welcomed...

    depends on how certain you are that a team will perform well.

    Slightly bailed myself out with a larger play on Fresno...although it wasn't convincing...

    Didn't get to make any selections for Wednesday because I made a run to the casino and ended up staying much later than I anticipated playing poker. Left my house at 9am, figuring I'd make it home by 5pm to do my research and make my selections but instead played until about 1030pm. Good thing is that I made more playing in 9 hours than I would on most good or even great weeks picking NCAA BB games! Made just over 900 playing 1/2, and stepped it up to 2/5 and made another 150 before I had enough and decided I couldn't focus much longer...Anyways, I'm here today and READY TO PLAY on NCAA! So shortly I will post my picks for the day and we will get this thing back on track for sure! GL all...

    Wisc Milwaukee +5 (2x) Push and ML +182 (.5x) (regardless of the suspension of their top scorer, I feel they are still the better team and can win this game on the road, even though Youngstown has played teams tough at home.)

    East Carolina +10.5 (2x)

    Towson +2 and ML +110

    Western Carolina -2 and ML -135

    possibly more in a little while..

    Solid day today...Lost on Milwaukee ML and push +5, which had the game up until the last 4 minutes (just as they did last time against Youngstown) and on BG ML (they shot 15% in the 1st half, and when they finally took command they reverted to playing wildly again) Was a great day and could've been even bigger. I hung in there all week since Sunday waiting for my big day to come and it did. I feel I have something that I'm using that has been working for the last couple weeks fairly well and am going to continue to test it. I've tweaked it slightly and its forcing me to be more choosy as the teams I select are having to meet another level of criteria for me to pick them. I have 4 criteria that are the basis and a couple that are swing criteria (those last couple don't always decide but they are helpful) I don't know for sure how this is going to work come tourney time because all of the criteria I am using is a result of conference play. But I do have a slight idea of how it can be used in that sense. Got some leans for tomorrow and I will post them momentarily...GL all

    Tough Loss on Iona. Had the game locked up until the final 4 min, where they decided to no longer score a FG. Game was totally in command all the way, and I still feel ok about the selection as I feel I was on the right side regardless of the outcome! Call it a morale victory at a cost to my pocket! Anyways... 2-2 on the day at a profit of about half a unit.

    Total for week 13-11-1 +5.5u

    Ugh...SDSU had it to within 10 with 3 minutes to go and couldn't continue to close the deficit! Everything I made on Quinnipiac ML got dumped on SDSU and then some. Had another ML par to help me out with Nova and Quinn, but slightly down still so far today...Looking to move it up with this UTEP game...Keep floating keep floating keep floating and attack with the big day, that's the plan. Love to win every single day big, but if I can be above or around even for a good portion and then bang it, that is acceptable...and that's how it has been flowing lately...GL all

    What an up and down day. Float, Float, Float... 10-12 on placed bets for the day. Certainly nothing to brag about. Hit a couple of my bigger plays to keep me moving forward with some minor profit today. Profit is the name of the game so I wont totally complain, but I really felt great about a few of my selections that let me down. Regroup tonight to find something for the pickins tomorrow and carry on to next week with some more profit I hope.

    10-12 today +1.8u

    23-23-1 This week +7.3u

    5-4 on the day +3.3u

    28-27-1 on the week
    (I know, nothing to brag heavily about) but...+10.6u!


    I'll take that anyweek...Now, here's to hoping that I reinvest it back into myself in the upcoming week with smart and the most responsible and discipline plays possible, and not blow it on stupid action and gut plays or Vesace and Dior Shades...Lmao. Na, I have enough shades for now, but maybe in a couple more profitable weeks...GL Fellas and keep paddin' yo pockets...
