Well actually gents, the most wonderful time of the year for me is the beginning of a new NBA season, but I have to be honest, D-Day is actually my 2nd favorite time of the year, some may call me ludicrous for saying this but I get more exited on D-Day than the beginning of the NBA playoffs. I absolutely love the weelins’ and deelins’ that this day encompasses. In all my years of obsession in this sport, I have never experienced a more volatile, exiting, unbelievable D-Day.....ever. When is the last time we have had two all-stars move? The end of a dynasty? The biggest trade in modern NBA history? I am absolutely astonished at the amount of “big boy” moves this D-Day entailed. There were a lot of stellar deals and some head scratchers as well. My all-time favourite deadline dead was when the Houston Rockets traded Otis Thorpe for Clyde Drexler, to this day I still think that is the best D-Day trade in the history of the NBA, I may be a bit bias however. The Rockets were “my” team at that point in time (No Raps). I was a youngin’ and was absolutely enamoured with Hakeen “The Dream” Olajuwan, he was, is and always will be my favourite NBA player of all time. The Rockets were coming off their first NBA championship, they had a lacklustre 1st half of the season and did not look like they would double clutch and repeat as champions, once “The Glide” entered the picture, it was inevitable. A simple roster tweak can change ...

What’s up gents. How
about those Cleveland Cavaliers, thank goodness they did not implement
themselves into professional record books as the worst team in pro sports. I would have really cringed to see an NBA
team at the top of that losing streak list.
Determination got them that win, and who else but the Clippers to end
that streak. If Blake was not there it
would still be the most ridiculous franchise in the NBA. Tonight we have some good games, going with
some situational faves tonight. AS
always gentlemen, wish you the best of luck on all of your wagers. Peace out - - - MAK
MILWAUKEE BUCKS – 2.0 (-115) - - - This is a dangerous game
to bet on due to the fact that I am betting against a confident squad. Indiana has been on a tear under the helm of
Frank Vogal. He has instilled confidence
in his young studs. Hibbert’s lack of
production was solely due to mental anguish.
Jim O’Brian was an old school coach who had very different motivation
techniques. Another reason the Pacers
have been playing so well has been due to the insertion of Dahntay Jones into
the rotation, a lost man on the bench under O’Brian, Jones is now getting a
chance to shine. His defensive
attributes are uncanny, but he can also score the ball. Once Rush comes back he may not get as much
time, but it would be hard to remove him from the rotat... [More]

What’s up fellas, apologies for the late post. Had no time today at all. Dropped 8 precious units over the last 2
days. Let’s get some of it back
tonight. Despite the Denver win I was on
the incorrect side by a mile in my opinion.
I really thought the bench of Denver (J.R, Chris, Lawson, Harrington)
would keep up with the Dallas bench somewhat....incorrect. They got blasted by the 2nd unit from start
to finish. Dallas competed without Dirk,
scary to think what level this team can play with Dirk at an MVP level. Boston really surprised me last night, once
the Lakers began making a push and gaining momentum in the 4th, it
actually seemed like the Celts looked like a “deer caught in the headlights”
they seemed a bit deflated and lost.
Granted Perk and KG had to play massive minutes and were tired at the
end. iNsert 3 rotation bigs that were
injured and I am sure we would have seen a different outcome. An awesome accomplishment from Ray Allen, I
love the science behind his shot and his work ethic. He deserves to be the best shooter in the NBA
but I am quite tired of comparisons as a player to Reggie, for those that
watched at least 3 or 4 playoff series in which Reggie played in....would know
there is no comparison. Reggie is a
first ballot hall of famer and a “star” player in NBA history. Even in his latter career he could still... [More]

What
a disappointing Wednesday. Usually it
would not faze me to go 1-3 with both leans hitting, especially after the 2
weeks I have had, however yesterday’s losses really stung due to the fact that
it was my first returning post on the forum and I wanted to come back with a bang. Nevertheless, watched all 4 games from
start to finish now and realize where I went wrong. Have made the necessary notes and adjustments in my
rankings. TNT Thursdays are my least favourite
day of the week in terms of capping. For
two years it has been one of the worst days for me but this year has been
different. I never force action on
Thursdays and may just decide to lay off and wait for a large Friday slate and
better opportunities on the weekend. In
any case, I will have an update later on in the evening and a final card by
6:00pm eastern. Whatever sides, totals
and props you are on, I wish you all nothing but the best of luck. Peace out - - - MAK
LOS ANGELES LAKERS @ BOSTON CELTICS
The two largest wagers I have had all season were on the Boston
Celtics. The first for 7 units was my
opening play of the year when Miami made their debut at the Garden. The second largest wager of the season for me
was a 6 unit moneyline dog play on the Celts exacting revenge in Los Angeles. Strangely though I will most likely sit this
game out. My initial gut feelin... [More]

Fellas!!!!!!! My sincere apologies for my prolonged absence. You guys have always known my priority is the guaranteed green rather than the gambled green. I did state 2 weeks ago that I would be able to post consistently however an opportunity arose that I just could not pass up. Business will always come before ball...but it’s never far behind. Back in town now and ready to provide my thoughts consistently for as long as I can. Please note, although I sometimes do not have the time to share thoughts, I am always on the NBA grind, always aware of progressions and am always betting. The past 2 weeks have been outstanding, the record is not even believable so I am not going to post, nor do I find any use in posting the record when I didn’t assist anyone in winning money with me, nevertheless I am very proud of the run. I do however think it is vital for my readers to know who I have been backing and fading these past 2 weeks so over the next few days my write-ups will include past selections for specific teams. In any case, I am very glad to be back and really believe I have a good feel for the season as it stands right now. Rosters are starting to become a lot more transparent and it is becoming easier for me to read into situations and matchups. Despite the lines being as sharp as they have been all year, I still think we are in prime position to make mid-season money in the NBA. Looking forward to sharing thou...

What's up fellas, sorry for the tardiness. Flawless victory on Monday going 4-0 racking up 14 units. Thanks a lot to those of you who sent their congratulations, especially the two posters who purposely bumped the winning thread, know who you are and appreciate it. Shallow slate today, only liking one. Good luck gents. Peace - - - MAK
DALLAS MAVERICKS - 6.0 (-110) - - - The zone defense and absence of Eric Gordon. That is all this game comes down to. Do people not realize the productivity of Eric Gordon? He is putting up all star type numbers. In his last 10 he is one of the best two-guards in the game. 25 a game, almost 5 assists....where exactly is this production going to come from tonight? Randy Foye? Foye coming off a horrible game shooting awful from everywhere. He will not have the confidence nor the height to contend with Stevenson. With the absence of Eric you may even see the most overrated player in the NBA make an appearance off the bench. Blake is not the reason the Clipps are winning now, it is because Butler is not playing...well obviously I am joking but if Butler plays look for about 3-4 wasted possessions. Jordan has been a beast and should fight in the post all game with Tyson and Haywood. The fact is Blake cannot be contained, he cannot be stopped. But if there is any chance to negate his offensive production around the rim, it is the zone defense. ...

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS @ NEW JERSEY NETS
PICK: CAVALIERS + 9.0 (-115) - - - 3.5 UNITS
I cringe as I place units from my bankroll on the Cleveland
Cavaliers. I thought about making this a
contingency bet based on the status of Ramon Sessions, however this bet is a go
if he plays or doesn’t dress. I would
prefer if Sessions plays. Let’s put it
into perspective. The Cavs will probably
be the worst team in the NBA at the end of the season. For sure the worst in the East. Talent wise they do not have what some of the
other lower-tier teams have. They don’t
have a lot of hope for the future either, neither one of their young guns shows
a massive amount of upside or potential.
They don’t have a lot of trade bait, nor do they have lottery draft
picks (except their own) to build from. The organization is
in trouble...but let me ask you all a question, do you think they are as bad as
last year’s Nets? I don’t. I think they will manage to surpass the total
wins of New Jersey last se... [More]

Hey fellas, 3-2 night on Wednesday but wasn’t able to attain
any profit. I don’t mind breaking even
but was off by only one point on both Boston and the Warriors spreads. Would have been a flawless victory if not for
a bucket. Was very surprised to see Boston
struggle, Warriors didn’t deserve the cover.
Indiana played well, better than I thought they would for sure. A horrible
end to the game for Memphis once again, they seem to always have these debacles to end games. Lapse in judgment
and mental focus, this team needs to make a splash and move Mayo or else they are not getting into the playoffs this year. Clippers continue to
dominate, Baron Davis doesn’t get enough credit. This is a guy we have hounded for 2 years,
for good reason as well. He is playing
well over this stretch and deserves kudos. Philly and Orlando was a crazy game, don’t think I have ever seen two 4 point plays like that in the NBA
ever, especially two deciding plays in clutch during the 4th Q and
overtime. Feel sorry for Cleveland fanst, from best to worst. Grant Hill continues to amaze
me, don’t think I have ever seen someone his age perform at his level except
for MJ at times with the Wiz. Grant “Hot
Tub Time Machine” Hill is Mak’s hero.

What’s up gents. A
proper night on Tuesday going 3-1 racking up a few benjamins. Cats ended up winning the game straight up. 3 straight gutsy performances on the road by
Silas’s team and they deserved to come out with a W. Dwayne Wade was excellent offensively and had
close to 30 at the end of regulation to cash my prop, however, his turnovers
cost Miami the game. Lebron needed OT to
cash my prop, he was excellent down the stretch, but once again his inability
to take care of the rock cost the Heat a home victory over the Hawks.
Large slate of games tonight, a lot of games scream no value
to me. A lot of intangibles, situational
aspects and roster inconsistencies swirl around a lot of games on today’s
card. Trying to find value, hoping I
did. 2 straight wagers tonight. Will also be playing my second poster teaser
of the season. 1-0 poster, 3-1 on the
season overall on 6 – 8 pt teasers.
Hoping I picked the correct games in a large slate with quite a few
leans. As always fellas, best of luck on
your wagers today. Peace - - - MAK

Sorry I am late to the party gents. Thanks for all the birthday wished yesterday, do appreciate it. Didn't partake in any later action. Just the 4 wager slate, split on action and lost a few units due to a gutless, heartless performance by the Dallas Mavericks. Mark Cuban needs to inject some life into that deflated unit. Look for one of their big men Ajinca or Mahinmi to be dealt at the deadline along with a few other players plastered on that Dallas bench. Warriors, Rockets and Raptor all came through yesterday. It was interesting watching John Wall and Deron Williams go at it, there was a lot of hand-checking in that game, it was a gritty battle between two guards It think will have great games against each other in the future.
Short 2 game slate tonight but I like both games and have various wagers. Still keeping unit action minimal until I find something I really like on a larger slate of games. As always gents, I wish you the best of luck with your wagers. Peace out - - - MAK
CHARLOTTE BOBCATS @ CHICAGO BULLS

Right now D.Rose is in the top 3 in Mak's MVP list. He is an absolute stallion. He looks like Usain Bolt with a basketball in his hand. His lightning quickness is complimented with his ball handling skill and court vision. He is my favorite point guard to watch in the NBA along with Westbrook. H...

Good afternoon fellas.
What more could Mak ask for on his birthday? An entire matinee slate of NBA
basketball. I love MLK day. For those of you interested, I turn 26 years
young today. To many that may come as a
surprise, but I really despise those who account ability and knowledge with
age. Age is but a number. Others may call Mak a liar since I have
stated on numerous occasions that I have been obsessed with this game for almost
a quarter of a century. But I speak the
truth my friends. I came out of my
mother’s womb with a Spalding basketball in my hand...I was spinning that shit
on my baby finger.
I share this birthday with the G.O.A.T Muhammad Ali, one of
my heroes along with Rev. Martin Luther King.
Many of you probably automatically think I am African-American since I
love basketball, love hip-hop and was born in Africa...but that just makes you
a bunch of stereotypical bastards :) I am not African-American but I hold guys
like MLK and Malcolm X in extremely high regard. They were leaders who changed the course of
history. The thing I like about covers
is no one gives a shit what color the guy behind the keyboard is, as long as
they provide insight and assist in making money, that is all that matters. And that is how it should be.

What's up fellas. Short on time this weekend, didn't get a chance to drop by yesterday. Finished Thursday with a flawless victory hitting the Tims and Nugs. On Friday I ended up with small action on San An (3), Golden State (2) and Houston (2). A nice 2-1 night on straight spreads but all my profits were minimized due to an idiotic teaser I played with the Lakers and Knicks. The teaser worked for the Lakers game but was meaningless for NYC who lost straight up last night.
Tonight's slate looks very interested. Glad my game of the night on the slate is my P.O.D. I love it when the best game on the board is the game that has my highest investment overall , just makes the night automatically sweeter for me. Should be a great night of hoops in the association, as always gents. I wish you nothing but the best of luck with all your wagers. Peace out - - - MAK
MIAMI HEAT MONEYLINE (-140) - - - 100% contingent upon his highness. If he suits up this is a go. I suspect he will. Ringo Star, John Lennon and George Harrison will take the United Center floor. Historically Scottie and Jor......I mean Lebron and Wade have been astonishingly good in Chicago. Dwayne being from Illinois loves coming back home and should really be pumped tonight, I suspect 30+ from Dwayne as well as a high assist total tonight. Look for Dwayne to take it to the rim with ruthless aggression. Wade...

What’s up fellas.
Twas a good night of basketball on Wednesday. Scraped up some minimal profits on the NBA
slate but the Celts really did come through for me quite large on some off-bankroll
mix sports wagers. May start posting
some of those in later weeks. Had a
decent night, profit is profit, but still not to the level I am accustomed
to. Would have been a satisfying night
overall if not for one mental lapse by an all-star. A silly mistake by Deron not only caused the
Jazz to push the spread in a game they deserved to cover, but it also lost me a
1 unit prop by a point. Nevertheless, a
profitable night. Can’t complain too
much.
Dallas is clearly in trouble, Dirk will return this
weekend. However, if he is even a bit
bothered by this knee and his performance is affected even slightly, the loss
of Caron combined with this could be detrimental to a team I thought could contend
for the West title. Mark Cuban needs to
do something big come trade deadline, signing Pavlovic is not the answer. Paul George, yet another impressive rookie
from an up and coming draft class.
Toronto showed some guts last night, Atlanta and Toronto always seem to
come through with the best basketball games, another thriller. Jamal Crawford is just in another zone right
now, he is as hot as anybody i... [More]

What’s up guys.
Minimal loss yesterday thanks to the Aldridge & Amar’e props as well
as the Lakers. Frustrating game to watch
for Portland backers. No interior post
presence. Constant 4th quarter lobs, 6
ally-oops in the 2nd half is unacceptable, 19 points for Turiaf was not foreseen.
Big L got in early foul trouble which
changed things, shots just did not fall for Portland. This one was a bit tough to swallow.
Indiana was very impressive in their win over
Philly, I still think the 76ers potent bench will allow them to compete for a
playoff spot in the East. I am still
unsure of Indiana but their early season dominance over top-tier teams combined
with their win in Philly has me watching them closely. The Kings at Wiz was just a ridiculous game
to watch, a coaches worst nightmare.
Stayed away from Minny for good reason, San Antonio continues to impress
and are silently creeping into the record books for one of the best starts in
NBA history. Their next few games will
tell us a lot about them. Denver
steamrolled the Suns, there is just something seriously wrong with
Phoenix. The confidence is not
there, they do not trust the system or each other. Watched Los Angeles Lakers history last night. When I
stated in my thread I thought it had a chance to get ugly, I never th... [More]

What’s up gents.
Yesterday’s action was awful. The
first half of the Memphis/Charlotte game was one of the worst 24 minutes of basketball
I have seen in about 2 years...Memphis barely got over 29 points for the half
and ended up hitting a 3 to surpass that historic low. Little did I know that later that night I
would witness a 27 point 2nd half by the Detroit Pistons. D Town I can understand due to their
consistent lack of effort, but Memphis was just not themselves at all and their
lack of heart was inexcusable last night.
Aaron Brooks returned to his headline ways of 2009/2010 with his first
start of the season. He rocked the
Garden and led his team to victory.
Patrick Patterson is one of many rookies I have been impressed with, he
along with Gordan Hayward, Evan Turner and Greg Monroe, although they are not
superstars and in my opinion never will be, their careers in the NBA will be
long.
Tonight we have a nice slate of games. I am going to be busy until about 5-6 pm
tonight. Want to get some thoughts in
early. Will drop by early afternoon or
early evening to finalize the card and respond to thoughts. As always fellas I wish you nothing but the
best of luck. Peace - - - MAK

Apologies for the late arrival gents, as stated yesterday I
plan to keep consistent for the next few weeks.
I will also try to provide insight a bit earlier but with a short card
today not much research was needed.
Yesterday was disappointing. I
despise losing games by 1 point...let alone two in one night on a 3 game slate
of picks. I believe I deserved the loss
on Phoenix, I expected them to carry a 13-16 point lead for much of the 2nd
half and that was not even in the realm of possibility throughout the
game. Manny Harris decided to light it
up on me since I called him Mike Harris on the thread...I know your name now
young fella. The Princeton offense can
be dangerous if guys make shots. Nice
chance for some youngsters to shine on Cleveland, a rare opportunity for guys
to make their dreams come true and obtain contracts in the big league for years
to come. Portland deserved that game, a
gritty defensive battle all throughout the game. I don’t really think you shallow NBA fans
realize what you are witnessing. Lebron
and Dwayne are playing the 2nd greatest duo game I have ever seen in
NBA. We are witnesses guys. Scary thing is these cats are very
young. I am certain that there is championship
glory in their future...multiple ones.
The Tims battled the best in the West valiantly even with Big Beas. Very impressive yo... [More]

Gentleman, my sincere apologies for the extended absence. First and foremost, Happy frickin’ New
Year! Haven’t gotten a chance to wish
you all well for the New Year. I hope
this is the most prosperous and profitable year for each of you. New Years is actually what caused me to be
away from Covers for so long, it was an unbelievable 2010 for me so I decided
to take a beautiful lady friend for a short 3 day vacation. It was kind of a spur of the moment, pack a
toothbrush and jet kind of thing. My
first time actually travelling somewhere for non-work related activates. Ended up spending 2 days in paradise when
luck would find it that I came across a lucrative business opportunity. Actually had to stop the vacation and take care
of some things. Suffice to say I doubt I
will see that lady friend anytime soon J But you guys know the saying, M.O.B. This specific opportunity may cause me to
take an extended trip overseas in mid-February but until then I am all yours
gents! Will be consistently posting my
thoughts and picks for the next coming weeks, you can count on it fellas.
Please note, wherever I may be, the association always

actually had a very good week, if it wasn’t for my miss-read on the Denver
Nuggets team I would actually have had the most profitable week of the

What’s up guys. Apologies
for the absence yesterday and the very late post today. My only bet of the night was on the Celts for
5. In retrospect, despite the cover, I
can admit it wasn’t the correct game to go with on the slate. Indiana really came out with intensity and
poise but the Celts prevailed with outstanding defense. Despite Miami’s recent success and the Dallas
zone. The Celts still have the best
half-court defense in the NBA and I give all the credit to Lawrence Frank and
Kevin Garnett for that. How about them
Raps? One of the grittiest and most gutsy road wins I have seen from this
franchise. However, despite my pride I
understand that Dirk now looks like a front-runner for MVP. However, it wasn’t his absence that lost the
game for Dallas; the loss was due to the inability of the zone to achieve
maximum effectiveness. Against teams
like Toronto and numerous other high-tempo teams with range, the zone becomes
completely and utterly ineffective.
Miami continues to roll but I was impressed once again by the Knicks who
just have a lot of confidence in their rotation right now. They trust each other on the floor and never
seem to give up. Orlando seems to have
found their groove, struggled for 3 quarters but with Agent One and J-Rich as
their leading scorers, this team suddenly demands respect and solidifies 3rd
spot in th... [More]

At this time I am not really sure which way I am heading in terms of creating a card tonight. Not even sure if I will take part in any action today but thought I would come by and post some quick thoughts for tonight's games. Hope it helps some of you pull the trigger or back off if you are on the fence regarding specific games. Either way, as always I wish you the best of luck. Peace - - - MAK
ORLANDO MAGIC @ NEW JERSEY NETS
I understand the reluctance of taking Orlando on the spread. It is always hard to place our trust in teams that are new (rotationally) and still finding their niche as a team. Despite their win over Boston it was the Celtics that controlled the game. Nevertheless, tonight I just do not see the Nets upsetting the balance of this Orlando team. The Magic are confident despite their narrow win. If Orlando continues to keep up their defensive intensity as a unit, this team as it is, is one of the most dangerous in the league. Ryan Anderson should not be underestimated as a big and can do some nice things for the Magic off the bench. Bass is striving in his starting role. This Orlando roster is offensively potent and even on a mediocre shooting night can beat teams like New Jersey by double digits with relative ease.

What’s up fellas.
Hope you all had a happy holiday.
Thanks very much for all the posts and kind words. Read through them all and really appreciate
all who took the time and posted. All
eyes were on the NBA last night, and the association didn’t disappoint with a
great slate of games. Had a flawless
victory with the Knicks and Thunder coming through on Christmas day. I did not end up playing the Warriors but am
very glad some of you took my advice and backed them, just wanted to be
truthful and mention the fact that I did not end up taking GS despite their win
and cover. For anyone keeping my posted yearly record and
unit gain you can account for that.
I was very impressed with 3 teams in particular
yesterday. The Heat, Thunder and
Nuggets. The Heat were impeccable, I
realize the Lakers didn’t help the situation with their lack of effort but take
nothing away from Lebron, Dwayne and Chris.
They are performing with poise and perfection. Too bad I just despise Lebron’s personality
and lack of humility or the Heat would really be one of my favorite teams in
the NBA. The Thunder were aggressive all
game and their ability to attack was key to the victory. Durant is just a machine and out of all the

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the crib,
not a creature was stirring, except Mak’s dog, Big. He was shitting & sniffing, poking around
like a cute little runt. While your boy
Mak was sitting & drinking, smoking his holiday blunt. The stockings were hung by the chimney in a
jiff, laid out some cookies and gin and Santa’s annual spliff. Mak and Big nestled in their beds, with
visions of money & bitches (female dogs) danced in their heads. When down the stairs there arouse such a
clatter, Mak sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
With Mak’s trusty Rottweiler by his side, he descended the
stairs with a graceful glide. Amused by
it all, the dog gave Mak a loving lick, then was suddenly startled by the fat
man Saint Nick. “Ho Ho Ho Mak!!” From
his belly he shouted. “Now where is that chronic, Santa wants to get clouded!!”
Handed Santa some Kush and his favourite gin, “Ho Ho Ho he chuckled,” and gave
me a big grin. Santa drank and smoked,
even had a 10 minute nap, then awoke refreshed with a Rottweiler in his lap. He filled the stockings with a glorious
flash, even passed behind the back dog treats to Big and looked like Steve
Nash.

Fellas!!! Did anyone miss me? I really do apologize for the absence gents. As forewarned, I have been real busy in what has to be the craziest retail shopping year I have ever experienced as a wholesaler. During Christmas you people will buy anything and everything for your loved ones and man oh man do I love you for it. Mak is working like a dog but it is well worth it. Last time I posted was the 12th of December I believe. Ended off that week up 26 posted units for a great 7 day run. I have been wagering in the association this past week for minimal units and doing very well, I have no reason to lie. I really believe I have a very good feel of where the league is right now and am exited to get back to Covers and start making some serious coin in the association with you guys. I will be increasing my units when I return so it may take some time to get acclimated with the new unit management at first. I just have a few more days to go in terms of business, am now back in Toronto but will lay off posting until either Thursday or Mak's annual Christmas special. Miss you guys, hope everyone is stacking their bank accounts this holiday season. Wish you luck and see you soon! Peace. - - - MAK

What's up gents. A profitable Saturday in the association. Sorry I was unable to get at you guys on my Saturday thread. A big thanks go to those individuals who purposely and specifically bumped my thread, that is really classy and much appreciated. I get really busy at times and I rely on those who value my contributions to keep my thread up there amidst all the covers clutter. Unlike so many obvious posters I could care less about the attention so it is real nice to have guys bump my contributions up when I am not around. Thank you.
Saturday was interesting. The Grizzlies came back after a slow start to defeat the Clippers. Atlanta continues to move the ball brilliantly as a team and really have shined under Larry Drew. Boston is the most dangerous team in basketball and proved it this week. they deserve their 3 days of rest now. I watched Toronto Raptors history yesterday as my boys came back from a 25 point deficit to win in Detroit. PIstons are the biggest joke in the NBA, their lack of focus and defense was sad to watch, the way the acted after the game was if they didn't give a damn about what happened. Credit to my Raps, they did fight to get back but it was really a horrendous defensive game by both squads. The Bulls and the Heat have begun their ascent in the East. It's time to start trusting both those squads. Utah made a valiant effort on a back to back but Dallas wa...

What's up gents! Good to be back, business didn't go as good as I had expected but it was a profitable venture nonetheless, big thanks to all those that wished me success, I do appreciate it. I love what I saw in Cali, seems like my kind of town. Was kinda chilly, was expecting to cook in the Cali sun but had to wear a light jacket in the evening. Still a great state and Oak is a fun city.
I did play the association on both Thursday and Friday. Thursday was mediocre but Friday was a big day for me, don't want to go into details since I didn't help anyone make any money but suffice to say after my posted sweep on Wednesday picking up 16 units, a profitable Thursday and a monster Friday I am starting to get that swagger and confidence.
Tonight I am going with one of the best in the west and a team that has shaken up their lineup recently creating an unbalanced line in my opinion. As for the other games on tap I think both the Grizzlies and Pacers are live road dogs. Boston, Chicago and Miami should all win their games but may find some difficulty in covering their spreads. Either way it should be a fun Saturday in the association. Am back in Toronto for a while and will be posting consistently all week. As always fellas I wish you all the best of luck.
