    Take the money and run

    What's up everyone. I've been lurking around here for awhile but finally got around to registering today. I've had some success betting lately but haven't really done any official tracking or anything, so I figured I'd start a thread to document my picks and increase my discipline in the process. I'm gonna stick with 1, 2 and 5 unit picks to keep it easy to track. And I don't mean for this to be one of those "I'm hot, tail me" threads by any means, discussion and criticism is very welcome. Let's keep it rolling!

    2 plays today to kick off the thread.

    First I've got the Carolina Hurricanes ML -135 against the Jets. 1 unit to win 0.74.

    The Jets are slumping while the Canes are actually playing some decent hockey lately. The Jets suck on the road and Chris Mason's starting, who got pulled his last game after a horrible start against the Devils. Evander Kane's out from his concussion too. On the other hand Cam Ward's looking better and better as the season goes on.

    I've also got a 5 game 10pt all-CAA teaser going. 2 units to win 2.1.

    Northeastern +17.5 @ Old Dominion, Drexel -1 @ William & Mary, VCU -3.5 vs. Hofstra, Delaware -3.5 vs. Towson, and George Mason -2 vs. UNC-Wilmington.

    Those are all pretty self-explanatory. Let's roll!

    Alright! Canes hold on despite a terrible 3rd period and my CAA teaser cashes. Good start.

    On record:

    2-0 (100.00%) +2.84 units.

    First and maybe only play for today.

    3 team NHL parlay. 1 unit to win 1.93.

    MLs on Lightning vs. Blue Jackets, Rangers vs. Jets and Canucks vs. Oilers.

    3 weak teams playing back-to-backs on the road against solid clubs. Let's do it!

    Adding Bruins ML -165 at the last minute. Tuukka vs the Caps with no Ovechkin or Backstrom. I like the Bruins to roll. 1 unit to win 0.61.

    Crazy ending to the Canucks game, NHL parlay cashes! Capitals unfortunately played a pretty energetic game without their 2 best players, and the separate Bruins bet loses.

    Gotta remain disciplined and not take last minute action on games because I'm watching them.

    3-1 (75.0%) +3.77 units

    2 college basketball plays today.

    George Mason -3.5 @ Hofstra, 2 units to win 1.82.
    St. Bonaventure -5 @ Rhode Island, 2 units to win 1.82.

    Hofstra and URI are straight up brutal teams. If George Mason and the Bonnies can avoid playing like complete dogshit on the road, they'll cover these low spreads easy.

    Feel free to not click my thread anymore, if that's how you feel.

    Meanwhile, 2 more winners. Both teams actually played pretty bad but were able to cover the low spreads. That brings the record to...

    5-1 (83.3%) +7.41 units.

    For tomorrow, a tennis parlay.

    Federer over Nadal and Djokovic over Murray. 1 unit to win 1.28.

    I won't be staying up til 3:30 am for the start of the Federer-Nadal match so I'm hoping to wake up to good news in the morning!

    i wasn't saying i didn't want to click on these threads, i was saying i didn't want 100 of them cluttering up players talk.

    players talk is for time wasting on meaningless drivel, there are plenty of handicapper subforums for picks, etc.

    one or two threads here is fine, i have no beef with you or this thread unless it entices a bunch more people to do the same.

    That's cool, if any of the moderators want to move this to a more appropriate place, I'm all for it.

    Anyways, I woke up to see Nadal won.

    5-2 (71.43%) +6.41 units.


    Let's make a little of that back tonight.

    Djokovic (-255) over Murray. 2 units to win 0.71.

    No other plays today.

    Djokovic doesn't let me down.

    6-2 (75.0%) +7.19 units.

    The play today isn't for today, but for the Super Bowl. I see the Patriots ML has gone from -138 to -147 on Pinnacle the last 24 hours. I'm locking in my selection on 5Dimes before the line moves up there. Hopefully my timing is right.

    Patriots (-143) over the Giants. 5 units to win 3.5.

    A weird collection of shitty CBB games and no NHL games means probably no other plays today. I'll have to think about this Celtics-Pacers game a little more though.

    Started the week off hot and ended cold. Important thing to remember is the week ends 7-6 (53.9%) +2.12 units. Gotta shrug off the variations and stay up over the long haul.

    Here's to another profitable week starting tomorrow.
