YTD 63-47 (ATS) 57% +8 Units
*All games are played at (1/2) Units
I went 1-1 yesterday. Arizona kept the game close not surprised. As mentioned earlier I did want to pick Arizona but backed off. Oh well. After last weekend, I have doing not so hot during the week. My cash flow is slowly deteriorating. The cancer is me overthinking games. Let's cure this with a great weekend and a slew of games to choose from. It's like standing in line at a Chinese buffet line. Let's get them papers this weekend guys. Be back later looking at a huge card! Best of luck to all!

Screw the MAC championship. Let's play some college hoops.
YTD 62-46 (ATS) 57% +8 Units
Two days in a row I have lost more than I won (well by 1 game but it's still losing). But let's have a moment to reflect on Connecticut's game. Really did not see this coming from the get go. But the whole time when I made a decision to pick the Huskies I kept saying to myself why only -15.5 though? UCONN's guard Jerome Dyson did not help his team by shooting 3-14 and committing 3 turnovers. Congrats on anybody who took Buffalo. Now Texas had a lead around 10. That's when I stopped watching and proceeded to pick up chicks (GREAT SUCCESS...NOT) And so wasn't Texas covering. Oh well that sucks and now looking at Friday's games which are lame. But well worth a degenerate play. Still looking really don't want to pull the trigger yet. Need some time to relax and think about these plays.

YTD 60-43 (ATS) 58% +8.5 Units
I went 5-6 yesterday. That's pretty bad. I don't make excuses but I have to vent my frustration. So here it goes. Cornell played the Orange close and were actually up at the end of the 1rst half. Really that should not have happened. Syracuse is better than that (I would hope). Oregon disappointed me as well. To tell you the truth I really liked Utah in the beginning but I was still in disbelief when a Division II team beat them earlier in the year. So I gladly took the points and they ended up losing by double digits! Not sure if it would have made a difference but Oregon played w/out their prized freshmen Dunigan. Probably was taken out right before game time because I was unaware of it til I looked at the box scores. And the last game, UAB. Come on you guys have not played at home so far this season. Playing a below average non-conference team from the Big East (USF) at home should have motivated you to blow them out. Maybe I underestimated USF who knows. But nope you guys disappointed me and the state of Alabama. Coach Davis you are better than that and your players are better than USF. As for as the other games I lost, I was iffy on all of them so I am not surprised. Congratulations to all who were successful yesterday. But I am still up and it's a new day. Picks to come later. I need a different approach for capping games now....

YTD 55-37 (ATS) +9 Units
I went 5-2 yesterday. Damn Purdue really let me down. Playing at home and could have shown the nation they were a force to be reckoned with. They really succumbed into the pressure as the Dukies layed the beat down on them. They are still my Final Four team though. They will learn from their mistakes and see what went wrong. Duke is by far superior team but as the season progresses the Boilermakers should improve tremendously (i hope).
Pittsburgh -17.5Syracuse -17.5Indiana +23.5Temple -3.5Penn St. +8.5BYU -9North Carolina -9.5Florida St. +1.5
More to come I got 9 units to play with. Remember all my games I play are .5 units unless I really like a match up I will play with more. Let's get that paper tomorrow lots of games. Best of luck everybody!...

YTD 48-32 (ATS) 60% has been reached!
Arkansas St. +4Viginia Tech -2.5
Kent St. +12San Francisco +17.5
As the season progresses I will have write ups for games, I tend to put more than or equal to 2 units. All plays right now are for .5 units (hey I just graduated from college give me a break). Wish I had posted my winnings too but will figure out how much I am up sooner or later. Well just think of this so far I have won 48 X .5 = 24 Units but lost 32 X .5 = 16...so 24 - 16 = 8 units (not including VIG) I am up so far in this glorious start of a season. Whatever...Good luck to everybody and all their plays!...
