I have to start getting back into the game! I saw Blitty mention loading up and betting again has me feeling it! The itch must be scratched plus Kato has put pressure on me for 2014! IMO can't be a complete winning year unless wagers are made and more wins than losses! So as many or as few plays in whatever sports will be posted here!

Oregon -2.5 -108 5d

Won't do many write ups but here's one! Oregon has lost 4 in a row and Washington lost at both Cal and Stanford last weekend! Both teams rely mainly on their guards to perform well in order to win! Also these 2 teams are BAD at playing defense! The Huskies are worst and aren't as talented as the Ducks on offense!

Oregon's issue even before the season got underway was most of the time playing at disadvantage height wise in the front court! Only recently has it hurt them! Wash themselves are a team lacking height up front too! Should play well for the Ducks to effectively go inside/out even though they shoot 40% from 3PT land!

Huskies can win tonight with the home crowd behind them if Oregon doesn't show some much needed defensive tenacity! Plus Oregon has to team rebound well! Covering as a slight fav on the road not easy but expect a quality effort from an experienced Duck team!

For the posters who aren't aware of my wagering prowess, my writeup picks seriously hit close to 30-35%!
 
Not many college hoop play from last year but I think I went 7-1 or so at the end to finish ......

Michigan -2 -105 5d

20-19 -.06 units


21-19 +.94 units

Believe I should stop while ahead, barely, but ahead! Plus have no feel for Mich-Louis game! Couple of cases of beer for lots of work which was fun though!

:cheers:
 
And then I gave bases an attempt ...... :facepalm:

7-13 -10.68 units

Always dug holes like this with CBB and luckily always ended up slightly ahead by years end! Not even the slightest chance it could happen here! Wally, you need when ready to continue this thread cause I always said -10 was my limit! If another one pops up here no doubt breath testing over .10!
 
Even my early leans win lately, pal!

Nice work on Nebraska!

Leans don't count for nothing! Common pal! But thanks anyway! I was leaning Minny this morning! I'm learning!

Would you mine if I play Gamelive's version of the Carnac the Magnificent?
