Been at the sportsbook for several days, very intense. Going to take this weekend off at the book and work on local. Was hoping to find some momentum in CBB but have been inconsistent to start the season. Our focus will be CFB moving forward but will be still working hoops just will not post anymore until there is more consistency. 

Our parlay is a dud. Vandy dominated Cal never had a chance.

I completely understand! I am getting sick and tired of being on the wrong side of these fixed affairs….every time. I’m only betting what I can afford, which isn’t much, but lose every bit of it. I keep thinking in-game betting is the way to win money, but I just cannot build up any confidence doing that. I probably need to stop. I actually thought NHL was the most reliable, but those guys ( including refs) cheat as much as horse trainers.

Sorry to cry!

TIP

wgomel…let me leave you with this pick for tomorrow night. Oklahoma St. is home playing So. Illinois. Cowboys are -10.5. Buy it down to -10 if you can. Oklahoma St. is 0-2 ATS and are historically tough in their own gym. I’m banking on them to play like their hair is on fire, be up by double digits at half and coast to the wire for an over 10 point win.

My play: Oklahoma St. -10.5

BJK Cup

Jacqueline Cristian 

1st Set/Moneyline (+100)

The Romanians may be the longshots in the tournament but you can guarantee they'll play with more heart than anyone.

Hello Bringit

I don't see a line for that match at DK

Intrestingly enough...I don't see past good results from Christian at the BJK ...I see many losses...good luck with the play nonetheless .

Based on this narrative  you have a solid chance for a win with that play!

JPN 0-1 ROU: Bogdan gets Romania off to perfect start

Ana Bogdan sets down marker for Romania as both teams bid for a place in the quarter-finals of the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals

JPN 0-1 ROU: Bogdan gets Romania off to perfect start

Ana Bogdan has put Romania 1-0 up in the first match of their tie against Japan at the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals in Malaga. Bogdan made pretty short work of Nao Hibino, winning 6-2 6-4 in one hour and 20 minutes.

After adverse weather in Malaga led to the postponement of Spain’s tie against Poland on Wednesday evening, this became the first match of the 2024 Finals, and both sides had plenty of passionate support inside the arena.

Bogdan came into the match with a 4-1 head-to-head lead and she once again proved too strong for her opponent. She broke Hibino twice and reeled off five straight games in a dominant opening set.

The second set began in similar fashion, with Bogdan breaking first, this time with a sensational backhand passing shot. Hibino’s frustration with her own game was palpable, but she fought hard to keep the scores close, and at 3-4 she had two break points to restore parity. Bogdan had got herself into a hole by leaving a ball that she thought was going out, only for it to land in, but she saved both break points to keep herself ahead.

Moments later, Bogdan served out the match to seal victory, overcoming a final bit of resistance from Hibino with more brilliance of her own.

It means that if Jaqueline Cristian beats Ena Shibahara in the second singles match, Romania will be through to face Italy in the quarter-finals. Shibahara needs to win to keep Japan’s hopes alive and take the tie to a decisive doubles match.

I just saw Christian lost the first set...

DK has it live right now...

 Just hang in there. Taking the day off today. Going light tomorrow and than we are going for it on Saturday.

I need Ruse and Niculescu to get out there and save my Romanian girls from elimination

The US matches should be interesting. I believe it should be Collins and Stearns playing singles. Krueger is a possibility too if either isn't 100 percent. They'll be facing Schmiedlova and Sramkova. Schmied typically sucks but we all remember the last time she was playing for her country at the Olympics. And obviously Sramkova is dangerous. We haven't seen Collins or Stearns in a bit so hard to judge what their form will be.

I would expect Dolehide and Townsend in doubles though which they should be able to win easily if it comes to that. But USA will need to win at least one singles match which isn't necessarily guaranteed even though the team is heavily favored to advance.

I'm taking Ruse/Niculescu (-130)

Available now on FanDuel. Don't see it on DK

Actually looks like it's going to be Townsend against a 17 year old I've never heard of and Collins against Srammy.

Asians dominating...

@wgomel21

Thanks for the words of encouragement wgomel. Have a great day! BOL this weekend!

TIP

Just the way my luck is running lately.

Anybody have thoughts on Zverev/Alcaraz?
