****Wednesday NBA Selections****

Dude, I've kept my mouth shut to, but this is bullshit.  You have copied him for 40 days and running (I have him at 40 Tarheelz).  This is what IC had yesterday: Hmm...Look at the similarities.  Plus, you have waited till' 5:30pm to post your picks today and he typically posts it early morning, but why in the world are you waiting this long. 

I'LL SAY IT - YOU ARE A FRAUD AND COPYING IC!

IC's Plays Yesterday:

Yesterday's Analysis 2-1

Nets/Kings Over 201.5 (POD)

I have said time and time again for roughly 4 weeks that when indeed the Kings get healthy, they will go on an ATS run similar to what the Warriors did. I explained this in detail in the blog today in detail:

If you read this blog every day, there should be little to no surprise given how much I love the Kings given the return of their starters and the likelihood of an ATS run. I have commented relentlessly on the fact that if indeed the Kings get healthy, similar to when Stephen Jackson came back for the Warriors, I stated that this team will go on a ridiculous ATS run. When Jackson came back, I believe the Warriors went on to cover nearly 10 games in a row as they desperately were looking to get back into the Western Conference playoff picture after losing around 6 to 8 ballgames in a row. Well, the Kings are the same way looking to get back into the playoff mix. Having said that, the Nets do have revenge as the Kings won outright on the road at New Jersey earlier this year, a game that I called outright for the Kings successfully. The Nets however have lost their last 5 ballgames and consequently their last 5 covers as well. I typically do not favor the over in Nets ballgames but after their terrible performance on the road against the Suns, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nets have a better showing today and this game goes over - after all, the Kings dropped 100 at Detroit and typically they score about 8 points better at home. I have this game pegged more for the over and wouldn't be surprised if the Nets ATS slide continues.

The bottom line here is I do expect the Nets to have a better showing today as after all, they have revenge and come off 5 straight losses and a terrible road game in Phoenix. Thus, they should do better against Sac and likely top a 100 points and considering that scored 100 and 110 in Detroit and Indiana, I certainly expect them to score over a 100 points today in ARCO - a stadium where they were scoring a 100 points a game when they didn't have Bibby, Artest and even Kevin Martin. I wouldn't be surprised if the Kings cover as well, but I do like the over as well. The over is 6-1 between these 2 teams in Sacramento and the over is 5-0 in Sac's last 5 home ballgames.

Drake +5.5 (Outright Winner)

As I said on the research thread today, if I ever find a team that I believe can win a game outright by above 30% and they are catching 5 points or more, I will take the dog without a doubt. This is the basis of my handicapping and what I firmly stand on and frankly, has led to the success that I have had for 4 years in handicapping college basketball. If I believe an underdog can win outright, such as Weber State the other day, I will take that dog as well as the points. I have Drake as a top 20 team in the power rankings and I they have revenge from last year's tight loss to conference foe and rival Creighton. Drake has proven their worth on the road so far as they have lost just 1 game this year - their first game - which was a road game against St. Mary's who is a top 20 power ranking team and have won against the likes of Iowa, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Bradley and Wichita State on the road this year. Now, they face a Creighton team that is very good, but a top 50 team that has yet to beat a top 50 team all year. Granted, they could lose this cover by free throws late, but I will take my chances here with Drake as they are 6-0 ATS against teams that have a winning % better than 60% meaning that they are undervalued and show up against the "better" teams in the nation and 11-2 ATS in their last 13 ballgames overall.

Tennessee -4.5 (Loss)

Folks, Tennessee is getting no respect with this line. Irrelevant if they cover this spread or not, they should be getting far more respect given their splits and results thus far this year. Make no mistake about it, the Vols are good this year and frankly, I think good enough to win it all. I have said this repeatedly, I think Wildcats are terrible this year and it will take some time for this team to get better under Billy, they will be decent eventually, but once again, it will take some time. I can't explain this play better than I did today in my research blog:

I love the SEC and am looking forward to this game but was surprised to see the line - is Kentucky really getting this much respect because they beat Vandy at home? They sure are. If they had not beaten Vandy at home, make no mistake about it, this team would have been dogged by 8 points for this game but because their last home game was a success and the fact they come off 2 road losses in conference play, the line is where it is today. Regardless, what do the Vols need to do get some respect? I personally have them winning by roughly 9 points in this game as I love Bruce Pearl in an ATS standpoint as he is not afraid to lay the wood on teams in conference. [Here me closely, Bruce Pearl is your Steve Spurrier of College Basketball. I'll say it again, Bruce Pearl is your Steve Spurrier of college basketball[/b]. This man took his team into South Carolina and pounded them by a score of 80-56 (24 points). This team beat a top 25 Xavier team by a greater margin than the spread today and Kentucky is no top 25 team. Kentucky could play spirited basketball today but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vols pull away in the second half and hit the cover today. I do dislike the fact that 2/3rds of the public is on the Vols.

I'll take public fav here as the numbers are far too appealing as the Vols were a public fav at South Carolina and won by essentially 30 points and I think they do well here on the road today again. The Vols are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and the Wildcats are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 ballgames against teams that have a winning % of over 60% - meaning that they do not step up to the plate against the better teams in the league and they have inflated lines typically because of the name "Kentucky" - as compared to what their true performance has been this year.

I don't give a shit if you win or not today, the evidence is overwhelming and you have copied IC for 40 days in a row, hundreds of people read his stuff every day - did you think you were not going to get caught eventually?  LAME!

Wait until they get a hold of you in the penalty box!  You should be thrown in the box for copying and waiting for his plays to be released in other forums.  You are a man without merit.

W,

It is not a coincidence with hundreds of ballgames, ATS sides and ATS totals, that SF will have the same 2-3 plays as IC with his larger card that he plays for the last 40 days.

It is not a coincidence that the last 40 days, SF releases his plays after IC posts them - roughly 30 minutes after.

It is not a coincidence that SF waits until IC posts for the last 40 days.

Once in awhile these people will come in here and try to sell they picks. Ignore!!!!

What are your plays tonight Sportsfanatic?

Oh yea, IC hasn't released it yet for you to cheat!

Guess it can't be 41 days in a row?

IT ALL MAKES SENSE AS TO WHY YOU PUT YOUR RECORD, WAIT UNTIL THE SERVICE PLAYS ARE RELEASED AND THEN YOU MAKE YOUR PLAY LATE TO CREATE HYPE - IN THAT WAY, YOU GET HYPE, BUT YOU ALSO GET TO WAIT AROUND TO CHEAT.

Who is IC anyways, i think SF is top 5 best at capping games.  I love your work SF why let some ppl make you feel like you should leave me the haters are winning

So what's the pick today SF? 

Yes.. it is worth it.. It's worth it to hear your opinion.. it's a valuable tool for the rest of us who may be on the fence with a pick.. Keep it up and ignore these douchebags..

Keep up the good work SF!  Ignore all the rude haters.....

Your input is valued here. Thanks. 

I've heard this a lot in threads surrounding SF and Indian Cowboy and how their picks are similar.  Why does it matter?  I loved when IC posted hios picks here, he was good.  SF can post whatever he wants and if he uses ICs stuff to help facilitate his own decision on a play then what does a matter.....you aren't paying SF for anything...its free advice...

Here my picks Allies if you need help

Minn +8.5
Wash/Clev Under 187.5

lol, IC is the only capper in America to have over a 160 plays and be over 60% in basketball.  There is a reason why sportsfanatic copies him, whatever, if you tools want to follow the cheater than so be it.  But, he is cheating. 

There is 40 days of evidence to prove it. 

I just thought this forum should know the truth because it is all over the other sports forums how sportsfantic has waited the last month to post within 10 minutes after he posts.  Fucking lame. I just thought I would expose him to this forum as everyone else knows this except you tools.

Covers should do something about this cheater.

Couldn't agree more!  Keep em coming SF!

MY LAST THOUGHT BEFORE I AM LEAVING:

SPORTSFANATIC HAS WAITED AT LEAST 40 DAYS TO POST 10 MINUTES AFTER INDIAN COWBOY POSTS!!!

HE INCLUDES ALL 3 OF INDIAN COWBOY'S PLAYS IN HIS 6-7 PICKS A DAY AND - AND NEARLY HIS ENTIRE COLLEGE BASKETBALL AND NBA CARD IS A DUPLICATION OF IC'S PLAYS.

allies.........I don't want to hate on SF either but man it's unbelievable that their picks have been identical for so long.   There hasn't been one time I remember since bball got into swing that IC had a pick that SF hasn't included.  

SF is a fellow Redskins fan and the first capper I check everyday in college bball, nba, and nfl........he's awesome.   However, it's just strange.......at first i thought IC was stealing from him but the timing was off. 

Monday nite it was Siena, and Pepperdine, Sunday nite it was Weber State.......he even used the same words that WS may win straight up......like a copy and paste.   Kings, Kings over, and Bucks were Sat night,  Friday it was GS, Kings, and Sixers.......
Thurs it was Ohio, etc etc. 

We aren't the first ones calling him out on this either
