B. Sharps / Head Linesman / Legends


Hello players! Let’s see how things went this week; the calm before the storm week was very active in itself so let’s get to the scores. Monday in the NBA, the players won with Chicago -7.5 and Boston -4.5 (landing 5 also sided the house on the Utah buyback). The house picked up small wins on New Jersey +2.5 and Sacramento pick ‘em to cut into the players’ night. In the college board, the players tabbed Notre Dame -5 and Idaho State +7 (syndicate game) while the house did ok on Kansas State +8.5, though it was still a good night for the players.

Tuesday saw the players correctly tab Dallas -1.5, Indiana -5.5, the Lakers -9, Memphis (all big mover groups on Memphis) -1.5; the house came back with Toronto +5.5 and Houston +5 to cut into another winning NBA night for the players. In NCAA, the players picked up wins on Florida -6, Virginia -1.5, Nebraska -2 (very popular game with sharps and public), OSU -6.,5 and San Diego State -12. The house countered with Illinois +9.5 and Vandy +9, but still a winner for the bettors.

Wednesday in the NBA saw the players jump out with Golden State pick ‘em, San Antonio -9, the Knicks -2.5, Oklahoma City -8.5, and Denver -7. The books came back with Atlanta +4.5 and Boston -7 (Phoenix was a popular dog with the sharp guys) to even things out for the night in the NBA. In the colleges the players tabbed Louisville -13, Iowa State -1, Pittsburgh -11, New Mexico +11, and adding North Carolina landing on 2 and Kansas on 13 to side the books on two high volume games. The books came back with West Virginia -5, Cincy +5, Clemson +12, and New Mexico State +7 to wash out the entire day factoring in all the small wins the books picked up on the "nothing" games.

Thursday saw the players tab Orlando +5 (another Heat meltdown); the Utah / Denver game was a wash so on to the NCAA's. In the colleges the players picked up wins on Tennessee -4, Seton Hall +3 (public was on St. John’s but all big syndicates were on the Hall), Fresno State +4.5 (also sharp side), and UCLA +8 (very popular dog, line looked high to me also and I’m as public as it gets). The house came back with wins on Oregon State +14 and Southern Illinois +1 but still a good night for the players.

Friday the players picked up NBA wins on Chicago +2 (first half and game Bulls are very popular team right now and with good reason), Philadelphia -9.5, Phoenix -3, and San Antonio -2.5 while the house battled back with Golden State +9.5, Cleveland +12.5, and Indiana +9 to make back the players’ wins plus picked up some ground on the other NBA games to have a winning night in pro basketball. On to the college board where the players won with Kent State -3, Princeton -12.5, Cleveland State -3; in turn, the house countered with Delaware +3.5, William & Mary +8, and Manhattan +8 to hold their lead for the day.

Saturday in the NBA, the players tabbed Houston -7 and the Clippers -2; the house countered with Toronto +1 in a wild OT game and with Sacramento +8 to even out the NBA for the night. In the big college board, the players picked up wins on Louisville +3.5, Kansas -3.5 (very damaging game for the house, high volume and landed on 4 so mostly all wins or pushes for any bettors), Illinois -10, Michigan -1, Notre Dame +3, BYU -21, UNLV -7.5, Pittsburgh -9.5 (also landing 10 to add to the win), Seton Hall -1 (syndicate game), Florida +4, North Carolina -1 (heavily liked by public and sharps, how do they know?), St. John’s -12, and UCLA -2.5 in a huge comeback to put the dagger to the books. In the conference action, the players also tabbed Butler -4. The house countered with Iowa State +14, Cincy -4, Virginia +12, Oregon +12, USC +10, and Colorado -4 but it wasn’t enough to overcome the players’ big day.

Sunday saw the players bust out of the box with Chicago +5 (another Heat blow up), Philadelphia -7 in OT, the Knicks +3.5 (one-sided action all day, maybe it was just our store, I had 3.5 all day and all other shops had 4, they should’ve been buried on Knicks money +4 but who knows ....oh well), and New Orleans -5. The house came back with Phoenix +6.5 and Milwaukee +7; the Lakers game was an even chart so a small win for the house on that contest but still another winner for the players in the NBA. On to the colleges, where we saw the players correctly choose Kentucky -1.5, OSU -8, FSU -1, Old Dominion landed 8, and Saint Mary’s landed 9 to also count as good wins for the players. The house came back with Penn State +5, VCU +5, and Furman +7 but still a good week for the players heading into March.

Good luck players! Talk to you again next week.
