Hello players! A mixed week of NBA, the start of bases, and the NCAA Final Four has ended; let us see how it played out. Monday in the NBA the players won with Portland -2 while the house picked up wins on New York +2, Philadelphia +11, and Washington +11 to have a nice opening night in pro hoops. The players won the college game with Oregon -5.5 and over 143 to almost push out for the night.

On Tuesday the players won an NBA game with Houston -7; the house had no real decisions, they picked up a tiny win on Golden State +11. In the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) semis, the players won with Wichita State -3 and lost small with Alabama -2.5 to have another washout night with the books making a little hay for the two days so far.

Wednesday the players won with Philadelphia -3.5, Miami -12.5, Indiana -6.5, Chicago -9.5, Oklahoma City -2.5, and Dallas -5 to have a big NBA night for their pockets. The house picked up wins on Atlanta +3.5, New Jersey +8, and New Orleans +1.5 to slightly cut into the players’ profits for the night in the pros. In the two NCAA games the house won with Santa Clara +9 and the Oregon – Creighton game was no real decision but still an ok night for the players overall.

Thursday’s NBA was a small winning night for the books as both games were pretty even on action so a vig night for the house. In the NIT final, the players picked up a small win on Wichita State -2 as they pounded Alabama to dominate the NIT this year. On to opening day in MLB, which saw the players win with Atlanta -45, New York Yankees -55, and the Angels -55; the house countered with Cincy -20 in a big ninth inning rally and the Dodgers -20 as Kershaw proved he will be a Top 5 Starter in all of baseball this year, he is nasty. So, a small winning day for the house but not much either way.

Friday in the NBA, players correctly tabbed Philadelphia -10, Washington -2, Miami -11, Denver -5.5, and the Lakers -8. The house picked up wins on Detroit +8, Atlanta pick ‘em, and Houston -2 to even things up for the night. In leg 3 of the dumbest college basketball tourney ever, Oregon won by 2 and didn’t cover but it didn’t matter as the players were mixed, the few that cared to wager on it to end the CBI for the season (and hopefully forever). On to the bases where the players picked up wins on Florida -85, San Francisco +12, White Sox pick ‘em, and King Felix +08; in turn, the house came back with the Houston run line, Arizona +190, Texas +110, and Kansas City +35 to make a few bucks for the evening.

On Saturday the players won in NBA with Memphis -13.5. The house had a good night winning with Toronto +14, Golden State +5.5, and the Clippers +5 to gain some more ground for the week. In the Final Four, the house lost small with Butler in a pretty evenly bet game but picked up a nice win on U Conn beating Kentucky to set up an improbable Final Four game Monday night.

Sunday in the NBA, t he players won with San Antonio -11, New York -12, Miami -10.5, Boston -10.5 (and landing 11), and New Orleans -4 while the house came back a little with Toronto +10.5 and Atlanta +6 to cut into the players’ profits a bit. On to Sunday MLB where the players won with Atlanta -42, Minnesota +25, and Oakland -75; the house did good winning with Pittsburgh +63, Detroit +50, Kansas City -11, and the Dodgers -46 to have a good day and week.

Good luck players! Talk to you next week.
