This is just a hobby for me, and I generally bet $20-$100/game. I didn't post anything last year, but I just had a legit 14-0 NFL weekend so I feel the gambling gods are calling on me to start posting my picks (see my last post for pic). I'm too superstitious to post my football picks (having a great year both college and NFL, can't jinx it!) but it's time to prove myself to the world that I know my shit!
Remember, those 'professionals' who sell their picks are no more an expert than you or me. They're hustlers who manipulate stats to make it seem like they know what they're talking about. Time for this amateur to prove it!
DAY 1 (I'm just going to keep a running record, no units or anything, even though a "***" indicates a stronger play) All bets on 5dimes.eu
UCF -7
Providence -19
Purdue -21
Chattanooga +4.5
Kansas -5
Temple -8
Auburn -19
Indiana St. +7.5
***Virginia -25.5
Cavs have been waiting to get back out and kick someone's ass since they were on the wrong end of sports' greatest upset ever.
UNC -10.5
Wichita St. -9
***Kentucky -1.5
Two teams loaded with talent. One is way more experienced though, and being that it's the first game of the season, that should be the difference.
***San Francisco +2.5
Dons may be the WCC sleeper with possibly the league's best backcourt duo.
Washington -8.5
***Weber St. +5
Weber St has a far superior front court game and will probably win this game straight up
Good luck!
