Chargers +5; 5 units wins 4.55

Chargers/Steelers over 40.5; 5 units wins 4.76

NFL:

Vikings +6; 10 wins 8.33
Texans +9; 10 wins 8

Should have more afternoon plays. Drank too much, woke up late and didn't have enough time to do the studying I normally do.

I've been in a wicked rut of late, lets turn this around starting today!

1-0-1

+8 units

a win and a push, I'll take it. Especially considering the line was 5.5 in the Vikings game and I bought it to 6 to get the push...

Got a lot riding on that Chargers game, hopefully it cashes.

NFL:

Chargers +5; 5 units wins 4.55
Chargers +170; 3 units wins 5.10
Chargers/Steelers over 40.5; 5 units wins 4.76

1-2

Would have lost all three but got lucky at the end.

That total seemed suspiciously low, didn't know the weather was going to be as bad as it was.

NHL:

Blackhawks (even); 5 wins 5
Lightning +125; 5 wins 6.25
Thrashers +140; 5 wins 7

The Hawks have the biggest game of their season tonight and I think after two straight overtime losses, the puck falls their way.

No more Melrose, playing a shit Carolina team that's lost three in a row.

The odds are simply too much here IMO. Philly shouldn't be a -160 favorite against the Thrashers.

0-3

Lost all games by one goal. It keeps getting worse and worse...

Wow you suck

Wow you suck

I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm any good at this, because clearly I am not. The best in the business hit at a 55% success rate and money can be made winning anything above 49% so I'm going to stick with it and hope this rut I'm in turns around at some point.

I happen to think I know a hell of a lot about sports. With that said, it's amazing how hard it is to handicap a game.

Hey.. at least I was on the right side of the Chargers/Steelers game that the refs fucked up on.

Just checking in here. How much did you start with and now how much do you have?

I like the over tonight 34. Cinci scares me.

NBA:
Celts/Pistons under 184; 5 wins 4.55

Want to play the Celts moneyline or tease the points but the odds are so god awful. Defensive barnburner, lets get it.

I'm not sure what to think about that total.. The Bengals could come out and dominate but they also could do nothing.. hmm..

I'm down a bunch, but I'm still up overall. Need to get back on track as I'm in danger of dipping into negative numbers.

Couldn't believe that UCLA lost to Michigan straight up. That would have been a nice money line hit, huh?

Overall in college hoops, an excellent day.

 

[soxmuscle]

Still gets me a loss though too.

Look back at some of these games I've been betting on. Of my 7 losses in hockey, 4-5 of them have come by way of the shootout. I was due for an overtime winner sooner or later.

1-0

Wanted the Celts, wasn't sure on the points. At one point last night, I put all of my remaining bankroll on the Celtics ML of -280 but with the odds, I wasn't being paid out nearly anything, so I didn't pull the trigger.
