    Iowa State is a venue like,playing at Dayton or Texas Tech where it is a very hostile place to play at but many are still unaware of. The "Pitt" in New Mexico is another.The San Diego St game the line was too high at +11..so I stayed away...but also was on ISU last night.............

    I'm very aware of Hilton magic. Doesn't change the fact that ISU is terrible this year.

    There are a million ways to handicap and from my end it had to do with adjustments I make to the forecast based on market metrics, it's another level of overlay but the information I use isn't exactly scraped. It's an amalgam of sources compiled from a mystery wrapped in an enigma surrounded by a "SBR Classic 4 Eva" tattoo that's on my stomach and a "Fawk You JJ" note sticking out of my ass.

    From that standpoint, the bet is good and I'd make it again in a heartbeat.

    It's ok when some get away, can't win them all, don't expect to win them all, and quite frankly don't want to win them all.

    I know better...lol.
