This is my first post. But I like El Masry ML +114 at ttihad El Shorta  in the Egypt Premier League. 

El Masry is one of the top three teams in the league. Ittihad El Shorta is at the bottom. 

It's been 7 games since Masry has lost on the road

It's been 10 games since ittihad El Shorta has won at home. 

It starts at 10:15 AM ET.

here we go again, @NIU and this season records only matters as they are beast mode at their own house. 

Nothing is a guarantee but that is why they call it gambling.

Great job Bubba!

$$$$$ toronto bluejays -128 $$$$$$

Jays have the heavy's in the lineup against a weak Atlanta bullpen. BLuejays should have absolutely no problem destroying them.  

easist play of the day by far


also monmouth got destroyed by iona in the first half last time they played..Dont think this will happen again...Revenge factor!! .Both teams like to run!! i like the over as well

I tailed you monmouth and toronto blue jays. 

I bought points just in case I needed for a team to win SU and that is usually by a bucket.  No 1 point please.

 If you could be honest and post your record with your $$$$ it would be appreciated.  I will do my best to go back and double check.



Thanks bubba! Way to keep this going.....

My $$$$ record is: 2-0-1

Looking at the slate currently, hopefully something I like enough to post

If you are not on the Leaderboard it is because of one of the following:

1. You don't have the minimum 4 required locks
2. Your win percentage is not above .500

Please remember to give a quality and unique write-up. If you are not on the leaderboard you are still being tracked in the spreadsheet I made.

Bubba - What is your opinions and/or feelings on people posting more picks than the 1 $$$$ per day and 4 $$$$ per week picks? I am torn on it as I would love to post my entire card each day but don't want to cloud the thread or the standings - 

On the other hand we want to make money and I went 22-4 this weekend but since I had no $$$$ picks left I didn't post anything - I just worry that if we all start posting multiple picks it de-values the $$$$ picks with the limited amount we have per week. 

Anyone's thoughts on this I would love to hear.

@Rebel .. No more than 4 $$$$'s per week.  I don't think there is any harm in posting a couple of other plays but just don't make them a lock.  I have done this in the past but will try to cut back as it does cloud the thread.  

I do think if someone is 4-0 on the week they earn themselves a 5th Golden $$$$ to use at their discretion if they want to or not.

Make a visit now and then.Bandit

$$$$ Of the Week Last Week 
(Yes you read that right..WEEK.. I am not doing this daily)

This comes from someone who is not on the leader board as they didn't meet the minimum required locks. 

Grandmastertim -  Rutgers +2

This team led by over 30 points in the second half and had never won a conference game this year!  Congrats and I look forward to your next $$$$. Also shout out to Holmey for giving the thread a nice bump with the Gottlieb Twitter feed post and giving this pick a little more exposure.

Rebel....people have been posting their non $$$$ picks when they run out of $$$$ picks all along. If you have a good record of W's and have more games to share, then by all means feel free to share them as non $$$$ pics. When the thread first started they were keeping track of non $$$$ picks as well, so every one could see who was hot and/or not. I personally would rather see a hot cappers other leans all in one post, than some of the jargon that clutters this thread daily.

Ok time to post $$$$ picks this thread is already cluttered with Thank Yous to Bubba but no $$$$ which is the point of the tread.. with that being said Thanks Bubba for keeping the thread alive. Now down to business 


$$$$$ Charlotte -9 $$$$$ 

Its simple As it gets Charlotte is balling right now and when they play the Timberwolves if they don't loose they win by more than 10 points so I say take the hot home team against th young road team who only won 3 of the last 10.

I also like:

Milwaukee/Chicago over 209.5

Chicago -7

L.A. Clippers/Dallas 209

Dallas +5 

More to come comrades....

The Rutgers play is a perfect example of why this thread is great.  I know for me personally I was immersed in handicapping the Saturday card and would have missed Gottlieb's tweet and had already passed on that Rutgers/Minnesota game when the news on Minnesota playing walk ons came out.

Thanks to this thread I ended up with a nice hit on a game that was an absolute no doubter (it saved my day on Saturday)

It definitely gets my vote for $$$$ play of the week last week too!

3-1 YTD $$$$


I am taking Oakland -6 against Wright State. Wright State is coming off two consecutive games including last night's shootout against Detroit. Wright State 1-2 ATS with no rest. Oakland ranks #1 in the nation in scoring and #8 in pace of play. Have already beat Wright State twice this season by 23 and by 10, both times scoring 89 points. Wright has been playing well and has double revenge on their side, but expect Oakland to rally around sixth man Max Cooper whose Dad passed away and come out inspired. Wright State will come out hard, but Oakland's fast pace will cause them to wilt in the second half. I expect a shootout here, and the over looks good as well.


Bubba, give me Oakland -6 as the $$$$ play.
