— New Jersey Giants signed QB Russell Wilson for one year, $21M, with $10.5M of that $$$ guaranteed; Wilson will be playing for his fourth team in five years. He is 130-85-1 as an NFL starter, 9-8 in playoff games, but he is also 23-32 the last four years.

Giants signed QB Jameis Winston last week, would appear that they’re out of the market for a QB in next month’s draft.

— New England Patriots signed WR Stefon Diggs for three years, $69M; Diggs caught 47 passes for 496 yards in only eight games for Houston last year, after six straight seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards. New England will be his third team in three years. Armadillo sports. Is this news or noise?

Quote of the Day 
“If God wanted me to walk, he would’ve made me a mailman.”
Former big league OF Willie Wilson, who walked 425 times in his 19-year career, but stole 668 bases, scored 1,169 runs. He was really fast. Armadillo Sports. Made me think of Cranky!!

Sunday,Bloody Sunday. Very uneventful Saturday. -172$ for tourney and have 9 future bets still alive. Just entered a ML parlay BAMA/MSU/MARYLAND. 40$ FOR A 100$. Good Luck to all. Sun is out but it's nippy!!

Good to see you Vet!! I haven't had the best of luck so far but am enjoying the tourney. Good Luck today. 

My Journey, started when Doug Flutie played for Boston College and threw a scrambling pass to win a game that should of had little to no chance of succeeding, but did. Remember where I was and who I was with. Most of them,RIP, are gone but lessons were taught to me about bankroll management and life of a gambler/investor being there with them. Smart men that I fell into by luck or fate.  A lesson I learned  came after blowing my 1,500$ roll on one game.  Still remember some wide receiver for the Raiders streaking down the sideline to score a meaningless TD to sink my wager. Was making 800.00 a week in the early 80's and puked out 2 weeks wages. Never wanted to ever be in that situation again! Valuable lesson. Now in my 73rd year and learning to apply what you learn in life daily has been a godsend. Investing in hand picked stocks and holding on thru thick and thin has set me up for life. Well, my money people say I run out late in my 93 yr of my monies if I continue to live the way I want. What I'm trying to say, is Discipline and have future thoughts in mind. Plan for your future and risk when you can. Wish you well. 

Congrats!! My Big 10 bias was on display with my wager. Good Luck to you going forward. Saw the game totally different. 

Nice looking card!!!

Mother Nature is being a bitch today . In for the day so let's play. McNeese ML for 10$ @ +225 and 30$ +6.5 @ 1.04                                          Both Texas teams parlayed on the ML  +1.48. 40$. Got the Derby Dreamers handicapped out of the way and a friend that is a fanatical UFC punter says theirs a strong value to play Jan Blanchwicz @ + EV. Beware the time difference as this is in Europe. 6-7 time diff.

Well, no further ahead after yesterday but traded blows and felt good about picks. Counted up 11 futures of different tourney finishes across 4 different books in play still. Saturday/Sunday will settle a lot. So far ZAGS +5 @ 1.05 and BLUEJAYS +9 @-1.05 are in the hopper. More to follow I'm sure. Will be playing Turfway/Fairgrounds Derby dreamers today. Been awhile since all 5 accounts will be opened and used.  What a time of the year!!! Even my Red Wings are in action, in Vegas no less. Need those 2 points!!! Good luck everyone.

BOB MORRIS +22 for 30$ @ 1,10 and 10$ on ML @ 16-1 

How's this for a head scratcher @ BetMGM I placed a wager Sunday night on UCLA to get to the sweet 16@ +300 for 20$ and yesterday I played Utah State +5.5 playing UCLA. FOR 40$. Heyzeus, I'm an idiot!!

I have 8 futures in the hopper from sweet sixteen to the final 4 so will tread lightly early today. In the Memphis game I played a player prop. PJ Haggerty 25+ points @ +200 for 20$ and +30 @ +5.50 for 20$. Will show his shooting skills today! Have UCONN wager on tap from yesterday working. Leans so far XAV +3 and Bob Morris +21.5, a small ML play should be made as I think this could be an upset. Good luck to all.

Day 1 according to the accounting dept has me at -60.00$ . Onto today! Suns out but a bit nippy. Picks to follow. 

I knew my cell block were onto the scent. Thank you! Gonna be a hell of a tourney!

In support of Big Red and BIZ,I'm wagering 40$ on VCU +12.5! It is said so it be written.

Grabbed  under 160.5 in VILLE GAME @ EV to play a middle. Have 15.5 points to play with.
