Review of Week 16

I actually have nothing to bitch about this week. I wish I had seen the Lions had the flu before I put my wager in, but the line didn't react to it, so if anything, it probably made them more attractive.

VCU +13 @ Oklahoma 1x
Pittsburgh -7 @ Florida State 1x
Providence +5 @ Boston College 1x

What did happen was that I backdoored two and a half games in two days. I fully expect that karma will bite me in the ass and I will lose my next ten basketball wagers. VCU was down 18 with under two to play, Pitt needed a 8-0 run to close out the game to cover, and I'd love to know what happened in the Providence game, but Yahoo went on the fritz. I know I was confused when Matchbook graded it a tie on Saturday.

I'll be on TCU tomorrow, most likely for a triple. As VW pointed out, Santa Clara and Wisky will be must plays on the buckets side.

Saturday 12/20

Well, it looks like I am putting my ideas about anti-pub chalk to the test today. [EDIT: VW is right. I'm not really putting my chalk ideas to the test at all. I'm playing some early chalk and got lazy writing because I was tired this morning.] The consensus numbers are not there for any of these early basketball plays but Dook. I don't think I saw a single poster on the Cardinals or Rednecks.

Earlies (12p-3:30p)

NCAAB
WVU -9 -104 1x
Duke -6 -103 1x
Louisville -9 -101 1x

NCAAF
Colorado State +2.5 +101 2x

Afternooners (3:30p-7p)

NCAAB
Auburn +3.5 -106 1x
Providence +5 -106 1x
Gonzaga -3.5 +102 1x

Nightcaps (7p-12a)

NCAAF
Arizona -3.5 +105 2x

NCAAB
VCU +13 +108 1x
Rhode Island +4 -103 1x

I changed my mind for the buckets plays. I saw enough smart people on them to make me think they are the correct wagers.

Good luck.

Friday 12/19

Passing Richmond and Charleston tonight. I'm lacking desire to wager tonight given tomorrow's likely outstanding card to play.

Be back bright and early with the Saturday plays.

Thursday 12/18

I felt like Matchbook was running low on funds, so I put in a few losers for this evening.

Jacksonville +6 -113 2x

This line is actually better than the +5.5 -108 that was also available.

Mississippi State +5 +100 1x

The only things I know about this team is that Hanblow's little brother transferred and that their coach doesn't like the towelheads. I'm sure Cincy will win by 30.

Tuesday 12/16

Off to the company Christmas Party. I hope someone pulls a Meredith for my amusement.

Passing South Florida. This is a play I would likely make if I knew more about both teams. It would likely still be a play if I had more time to pore over some data. Oh well.

I'll have Bowl and NFL leans up tomorrow.

Monday 12/15

And away we go...

Cleveland State +12.5 -102 1x

Good luck.
