Will begin handicapping the tournament as soon as the lines come out.

Usually between $100 - 250.  I'm no a high roller, just someone who loves to wager on sports and live within my means.

Took yesterday off from the sportsbook and casinos and took a nice four hour hike in Red Rock Canyon. What a beautiful place and a great escape from the typical hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. I had driven in the area before but never had taken an extended hike in the Canyon. I would recommend to all Vegas visitors. Will probably go back before the end of my stay.

Back to basketball today

Liberty  +3 - Hard to handicap these 2 teams. It looks like Liberty is the better offensive team and A&T on defense. Look for a close game and I give the edge to Liberty.

St,Mary  -2.5  - Tough game as well but I feel St. Mary gets the edge on offense and at the free throw line.

Kentucky  -3.5 - As Bad as things are for Kentucky I think they have too much pride to lay an egg tonight. Look for the Cats to get the job done.

GL Tonight

LIUB  - 1   better shooting and rebounding team

Boise St. -1.5. Flip a coin on this one. Boise is a better 3 pt percentage shooting team.

I just moved back to Pittsburgh after getting separated from my wife, but lived in North Canton for almost 3 years and loved it out there. Not too different from the suburb of Pitt where I live now. I hope to move back out there at some point.  Lived in a 3 bedroom townhouse off of 47th street and clev ave.

i'm guessin you are retired then by your avatar pic and the fact that it seems you can travel without any worries about missing work? Must be nice. Someday when I retire I would love to travel the country and go to all the stadiums and arenas I have never been to which is most of them.lol

3-1 yesterday.

Friday early Picks

Duke. -18. I know a lot of people hate Duke but I can't see Albany keeping up.

Wisconsin -6  if Badgers can get in Henderson's head they should be able to cover. I look for them to play rugged Big Ten defense on him.

Miami  -13.  Canes are a better defensive team and Larkin Gould control the tempo

gL today

3-1 yesterday. Good rebound after Tuesday

Back in Ohio and it feels good to be home. 3 and a half weeks in Vegas was fun and I had a great time hanging around the sportsbooks and betting the games but I could not imagine living there trying to make a living out of gambling. It is just too much of a grind. I have so much respect for those who can do it.Maybe if I was a little younger I might feel differently. Will return next year again for March Madness but for a shorter stay.

Tonight's games

Miami -5  Too much Larkin and Kadji for the Eagles

The Cuse +5.5  Can Indiana over come the zone????

Arizona +3.5  Almost a home game for the Wildcats.

Wichita St  -4.5  Shokers win this on the boards.

GL tonight
