Dartmouth -1 $$$$ Play

Back to back money play losses by a point and a half point. Those are the worst. Back at it today with another play I feel really good about. The line has already moved from +1 to -1 and could rise a bit more, be weary.

One of the biggest things I like to look at this late in the college season when capping a game is the previous match-up. You can look at similar opponents, stats, etc but that is the big one for me. There is so much valuable information in being able to disect how the teams play against each-other. In this case, I believe Dartmouth is the superior team and -1 is just way too much value.

When these two teams first played, although on Darmouth's home floor, Dartmouth took care of business with a 17 point win. The biggest thing I take away from that game though is not how much they won by but how they won the game. Brown shot a better percentage (50%) from the field and the 3 pt line than Dartmouth yet still got blown out. Shooting 50% is not a given to happen again. Dartmouth dominated this game physically on the boards (43-21) and I don't see why that won't happen again. Dartmouth is just a bigger and stronger team. Getting the home court advantage does not help you rebound better and to overcome that Brown will have to shoot lights out (Around 60% to win this game). 

Kenpom has Dartmouth ranked 30 spots ahead of Brown so not only did they prove they are better in the first match-up, they are ranked better. 

Brown has been great at home in recent years vs Dartmouth, and Dartmouth has been awful on the road this year so I believe that is why you saw the line open with Brown as the favorite. I have never been a big trends capper, I believe the better team wins tonight. Best of luck.

Hola All

Hope everyone is doing well win life and betting

$$$$ Cavs-1.5 $$$$

Not a popular pick among my family and friends here in the great white north. I am simply taking the better team to win by a bucket. Both teams are white hot with Raps winning 17 of 20 including 9 in a row at home. The Cavs have gone 11-3 under Lue and its not like they were really struggling prior to that. A couple of bad losses to wake them up. For me this one is simple the Raps just dont match up well with the Cavs and it shows with Cleveland winning 4 of the last five. No one to guard James, Irving too quick for Kyle and Love is a match up nightmare when he is on The Raps bench has improved a lot but Thompson Frye and company are no slouches. I will take the three headed monsters from Cleveland over the Raps dynamic duo. It will be close early but not so much later in the fourth. Good luck all

$$$$ play of the day is L.A.Clippers vs Sacramento Kings OVER 
218.5

I like this play because Sacramento at home puts up points and the Clippers well in order to win they'll have to outscore the Kings which should happen if they was to win and even.if they loose it's be a 115 - 113 type of game I see it already...

Akron at -9 would be my $$$$ pick today. 

2 disappointing losses in a row on the road for the 1st place MAC team. The Zips are up 1 game at the top of the standings in MAC play over Ohio, Buffalo, and Kent State. They play Ohio and Kent State to finish off the season at home. 

Coming back home where Akron absolutely dominates (undefeated + 17 point margin of victory) against a mediocre Bowling Green team with nothing to play for is the perfect bounce back opportunity for this team to gain momentum and win out the rest of the season. I see this game not even being close. Go Zips!

BOL to everyone!

Im on penny no$$$$
Im on memphis nba

Now give me the clippers -3.5 for the nba too

Clips beat the the kings 2x this year already
Clips has a good stats of beating a team after an ats lost.  

Kings are 4-9 in their last 13 games.  Clips no blake been playing better than expected.  I think the clips have a better recent winning streak.  Cousins not shooting well 20 pts in the loss against them spurs which helped my under to cash that other day.  I played it but did not have the time to share it on here.  Games was 2 days ago i believe.  Yesterday i won on the spurs utah under again.  Today i am riding the sides for a change.  Usc said it's bookie day so I'm treading lightly here but still confident with my play.  3-0 to beat the books but Looking for a 2-1 day to stay positive on my bankroll.  

Im betting with confidence so good luck with my plays.

Just a note you guys ......If you have a $$$$ that you love, PLEASE don not change it because others have already posted it.  In the old days, we would sometimes have 7-12 LOCKS on the same team or total.  Stick with your first choice - always.  If wmi799 or bubbaski27 had changed their $$$$ yesterday because the other guy had posted it, then we wouldn't have had that great consensus of the two that mad everyone jump on that play.  Honestly, you should never even want to ever change your $$$$.  Stick with it, no matter who else has posted it.

I like most of these $$$$ plays today. Looking over the card and may have one later, but not sure

Thanks man!  All is well and I hope all is well with your family too!

USC is in trouble.  They have lost all confidence and a couple teams have shown how to slow them down and others have copied it.  I am not sure they are going to be able to come up with a game plan to fix it.  They wont beat Cal, but maybe they can beat the Oregon schools at home next weekend.  Depresses me because they looked SO good a month ago.....

Yeah Holmey, I was around in the early days. I remember we made a killing betting on the world cup in 2010.

I was around from 2008 till they shut the threads down. I miss those days, but I sure don't miss the haters.. Looks like none of that is going on here, which is awesome. Making $$ and staying positive. Recipe for success.
